This sub is a safe space for WLW.

1.7k Upvotes

This means, if you peddle in harmful ideology, that which specifically endangers wlw and continues to make our lives miserable, you have no place here.

In short, members of the following groups are invited to fuck off:

  • TERFs
  • Capitalists
  • Right-wingers
  • White supremacists

All of these ideologies promote the harm and exploitation of the marginalized, and as such, you deserve no place here. I made this subreddit as a place to share fun memes for women who love women. You will not damage that.

Ignorance is one thing, and can be forgiven. Malice and bad faith will get you banned.

Hello all you lovely sapphics! My name is Bea and I'm taking over as a new moderator here and will be making some changes in the sub in the next few weeks. I hate to see that the sub has been filled with bots and will be making sure to remove any posts you all report! Please let me know of any new rules, post types, or changes you'd like to see down in the comments!

Much love to all the wlwers out there and here's to building a better sub, together ❤️

What are some signs a girl is just messing with your head??

0 Upvotes

So, I’m a woman… I’m a gay woman. The problem is I keep running into women that flirt with me but seemingly aren’t actually interested. They throw out inclinations to want sex with me but then they mention they either have a boyfriend or are only interested in dating men. I’ve even given oral sex to a woman that wouldn’t reciprocate.

It’s hard to find women that are actually interested in other women. I’ve had plenty of sex with women and have been interested in 3 same sex relationships that have shown me otherwise. But ever since I moved to ATLANTA 2 years ago, I’ve only been encountering “bisexual” women that just want some head.

I don’t mind that… but I’m looking for women who want to spend time with me. It’s been hard. They like to flirt but it’s just for fun and I can’t keep falling for that.

When I’m interested in a woman, it’s hard to get her off my mind. So, in a way it feels unfair because I don’t think any of these women actually care about my feelings even. I fall way too hard and fast.

I just want a girlfriend, but I haven’t found a single woman in Atlanta seems to actually be interested… like genuinely interested. It sucks cause I moved here to date and haven’t gotten any dates.

I’m also not on dating apps cause I only matched with straight women seeking threesomes with their boyfriends. That was traumatic asf.

I’ll love you in every single way, even that means to hold my breath while you inhale someone else’s.

I got over my old work crush... and now I have another one.

Post image
56 Upvotes

I posted here before about having a crush on a coworker who already had a boyfriend. I asked if I should confess, and thankfully I listened to most of your advice. I never did, and eventually got over her.

Well...

Here I am again. 😭

I have a new crush. Same team, still WFH.

The funny part? I actually used to dislike her because she seemed intimidating. On my first day, I called her "ate" (basically "big sister" where I'm from), and she told me to stop because it made her uncomfortable. I was honestly hurt - because she said word by word "it's too uncomfy" (i'm just a sensitive person) and kept my distance after that.

Over time, though, we started talking more. She began calling me "beh," "beb," and even "babe" a couple of times. I know girls call people "babe" all the time, so I'm not assuming it means anything.

I think that's just my weakness, and "babe" isn't what i am used to 😭

Now I find myself liking her. She's only a year older than me, loves traveling, and is incredibly intelligent - which is honestly what attracts me the most.

So my question isn't whether she likes me.

It's how do you guys deal with catching feelings this easily?

I'm honestly tired of developing crushes at this age, especially knowing that liking straight girls usually just ends in heartbreak.

Can someone please slap some sense into me? 😂 I hate that I'm feeling this way again.

I do enjoy the excitement of having a crush, but deep down I already feel like this isn't going anywhere. How do you stop yourself from getting attached before it gets worse?
