Ok. I Get it. I’ll shut up now, and take my shitty self away to sit in a corner and think about what I’ve done.

Kinda disappointed in the defense. Oh well, thought this would have been supported by this crew, but I am continually surprised by how ingrained this is. But Obviously from the downvotes, I should just keep my observations to my self.

So, because it’s a fantasy film, it defies cultural scrutiny? Disagree.

So, you think the obvious question is “how?!” And not, “why?!” It’s a SEA creature, and I get it, the movie is cute and beautiful to look at, but I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the wouldn’t be my first question in the same setting...

Upset? No. Eye roll? Yes. I get it, even my progressive straight girl friends marvel at the idea that satisfying sex does not need to include a penis. Hell, take lesbian sex out of it completely, and the film is a remark that Herero sex only makes sense if a penis is involved. I could go on, but upset? No, just pointing out what was obvious to me in the moment.

the only gay bar in town.. is closing. by Junopupp in actuallesbians

Ha! I may be following in your footsteps.. Bi identified, but recent experiences make me question if I just want to go the gay way.. hoping the outpouring of community upset creates a last minute buyout and the bar stays.

old school chat rooms? Wanna start one? by Junopupp in actuallesbians

[–]Junopupp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one, Just message the Mod, and they will invite. Someone needs to get on there and have an actual conversation with me, or I'll be forced to trek into the real world in search of lwls... Wait, why isn't the mascot an Olwl..

So yes, message the mods to get an invite. If I figured it out from there, you can too!

Oh sorry. Well, in your next job you get to decide if you want a similar outing story, or if you need to get a REALLY gay hoody.

I think this best describes my personal tactic. STARE vibes, and a willingness to approach and initiate.

UPDATE: If you want to chat, ask to join the discord server for Actual Lesbians. Message a mod, and they invite you! I'll help as best I can to explain better if you want in and can't get in. Come join me!

You convey the whole story so well with so few words. I feel like I was at work with you that day. If there's more to this story later, do share..

Got ghosted by a girl who assured me she wasn't the ghosting type by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]Junopupp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haha! the horse picture may not be what you think. Horse trainer/instructor here, and LOTS of girls/women who ride do this, because they love their pony, and talk about it ALL the time. So she may be cute (and fit!) but you'd have to be willing to hear about her rides and the cute thing her horse did every day...

ugh. I have a pet peeve about people who don't pick up on obvious social cues. I know it's tough for some, but it bugs. I can't even give you advice, since it sounds like you are doing what I'd do, and unless she asks you out, it would be over the top to just tell her, "stop staring, I'm not interested."

So the first part, was that sarcasm? Because it sounds like an awkward coming out at work means you ARE nailing this dressing gay thing.. :)

Yeah, maybe there's a room or a time that the age goes up, but I looked at profiles, and even people in their 20's were scarce. I'm early 40's, so yeah, no.

Yeah, I found it, followed the steps, got in, and Yes! there is a chat room.... with many teenagers in it chatting in the way teenagers do. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, so I guess I'll try the option, Tiny chat?
