Recommend your favorite LOCAL haunts to other members, where to go when folks are in your town, etc. Locale-specific ?'s and event announcements go here too. (For general purpose non-expiring longer-term stuff, please see if whatever city already has a thread going and reply to that rather than starting another fresh one. Time-limited event announcements should have their own thread with a subject line worded as specifically as possible (where/when/what, etc.))

What sort of places do you go (other than lesbotronic :) ) to meet lesbian /gay/bi/queer/insert-preferred-label-here women, how do you pick a "target," what do you do?
(Please note: This forum is ABOUT the subject OF meeting new women and flirting. It's NOT the place to say, 'Hi, I'm here, flirt with me.' However, you could do that in Member Introductions up at the top.)

We've experienced some "gray area" ethical and interpersonal dilemmas here, and we've decided to put them out to the community for feedback.

Serial monogamy vs. anything else, especially within the lesbian community. Making it work vs. watching it implode.

Adore these labels some use within the lesbian community? Despise them? Simply shrug your shoulders? Discuss?

What have you 'come out' as? Has your thinking about your identity changed over time?

Have you had to 'come out' multiple times, or with more than one identity? What were your hopes/fears? Did they come true?

Size, shape, food, skin, health issues, work, hair, sex, changes, eating, play, culture, aging, judgment, modification, style, dis/abilities, in/visibility, in/accessibility ... or what did we leave out? Topics can be dealt with as both inside and outside the "lesbian community."

Negotiating anger, jealousy, personal growth, betrayal, boundaries, communication, personal space, dealing with the friends and family of the other, finding social support when you are NOT looking for new "dates" (or whatever), whatever else may be your issue(s). Personal story to share? Advice to ask for or give? Step right up.

Some folks confine their concerns to felony convictions and illegal drug addictions, while others get annoyed if a date ends a sentence with a preposition. Do YOU have any that are relatively specific? Have you ever rejected or been rejected over something a lot of folks find insignificant? Share and compare.

Ever been on a date that started reasonably enough with a reasonable-seeming person . . . but then (insert horror movie music here). Could be a first date or something that went horribly awry in an ongoing relationship. Disaster daters can share the quirky, the disturbing, or the certifiably disturbed. Others can share support or survival tips.

Yes, age IS just a number, but as our number increases hopefully we learn a few things along the way. Here's a forum in which the O&W can commune. Possibly also a place spring chickens can request some sage advice from those who have been around the "lesbian block" a few times? You decide! (How old is "older?" We won't define that for you, you'll have to self-select. ;-) )

Do lesbians REALLY have too many cats? Or is that a contradiction in terms? (but all genres of pet welcome!)

No matter your personal beliefs or degree of investment in the holiday season(s), it can be a stressful time. Some say even more than average for queers. If you're "out" you may suffer from familial judgments on your "lifestyle," if you're not, you might have to field nosy questions or "straighten up" your house. Share the pathos and support each other here.

Random, OFF-topic stuff . . . anything you'd like to share or discuss that is NOT relevant to one of the other topics already listed above ... a joke, a random problem, something odd you saw today ...

New area added upon request, but please read *before* posting. This is an area apart from BEST PLACES for Lesbians (local PUBLIC haunts and/or businesses members recommend) AND apart from the TIME-LIMITED event announcements also appropriate in that area (which remains above).
This is ONLY to announce in-person social, activity, or support groups for and/or including queer women in a particular local area. These groups would at least potentially be ongoing, yours could get together for . . . whatever you like. Posts may describe previously established groups that need new members OR a group you'd like to start if you generate enough interest.
Examples: Dykes Playing Poker Every Other Saturday Night in Seattle, Queer Knitting Fiends in Phoenix, Lesbians with Little Kids in Los Angeles.
Posts should also conform to the following: 1) Should go without saying, but if your group doesn't want new members, don't post about it here. If your group stops desiring new members, let Lesbotronic know and we'll take down your post. 2) If there are criteria or membership requirements for joining the group, make those clear in your post. Don't make someone contact you just to find out they don't "qualify" for previously unstated reasons. 3) Leave enough and current info either in your post or your profile for interested parties to contact you. We recommend using the email address associated with your profile or a URL (if you have one). We do NOT recommend posting a phone number, you can give that to interested parties privately after initial contact. 4) If you're not in charge of the group, you have the O.K. from whomever(s) to advertise it here. (If you don't, please get permission first or tell them to post about it themselves.) 5) Unless we say otherwise in a particular posting, Lesbotronic is not responsible for nor do we necessarily know anything about any group mentioned. Questions re: any group need to go to whoever posted the info. 6) Please title your post with both the geographical area/city in question and something about what it is, so folks will know if they want to click.

These are our thoughts on the maintenance of a friendly lesbian/bi/trans/queer female community. They're really extremely reasonable. If you violate them you risk deletion. Let's not, alrighty?
