I'm not getting my personal ad matches and/or email from this forum!!

Ack, we've been SPAM-blocked! We assume due to paranoia some email providers experience around the word "lesbian," since we'd never commit that particular 4-letter word. Please follow instructions within to ensure you get your personal ad matches and/or any requested email from this forum . . .

Meeting New Women, Flirting 'Em Up

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 your Member Intro, if you liked. ;))

BEST PLACES for Lesbians (and those that love them)

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.))

Monogamy vs. Non-Monogamy and/or Polyamory

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

Butch & Femme

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

Negotiating Relationships

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.

Relationship Dealbreakers

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.

Dating Disastrously

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.

Older & Wiser

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. ;-) )

'Tis the Season to Feel Stressed Out

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.

In Person, Face to Face, Geographically Local Groups for Lesbians (and/or those that love them)

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.

Lesbotronic's RESTRICTED ACCESS AREA (still 100% free, but more private and by approval only)

More info on our Restricted Access Area (restricted, but NOT something that costs money, still 100% free)

This area of the forum is only for that subset of All Access forum members to whom we grant additional and specific access. It is entirely private, in that no non-admitted member can access it, read it, post within it, etc., nor will it be indexed by search engines. Conversations in here are more private in that they can only take place between and/or be accessed by other members specifically admitted to the Restricted Access part of the forum. If you don't see a bunch of topics below this one, you're not admitted. If you do, you are. If you want access, you'll have to click here and read further.

BIG IMPORTANT TIP: YOU MUST BE BOTH GRANTED ACCESS
-----and-----
LOGGED INTO THE FORUM TO ACCESS THIS AREA.

If you've browsed by but are NOT logged in, you won't know. Log in first.
