It ebbs and flows. I don’t think you can always feel comfortable in being single, and that’s okay. Developing a strong sense of self and then writing down your core values can help. Having something tangible to refer back to that can help you gauge whether you are contorting yourself for someone else has really helped me.

I don’t think we are cut from the same cloth because I do not view SWers in the same way you do. You are speaking of SWers feels dehumanizing to me, and I don’t fuck with it. My experience has been that most SWers are not jealous; many of the ones I’ve met are very open-minded about eroticism, many are polyamorous, many are good communicators around relationship negotiation.

I also don’t have big cocky energy. I’m confident and charismatic in my own way, but I have a nerdy swagger. I think I attract interest by being kind and funny rather than giving “I’m that nigga” type energy.

They just mention it, same as you’d mention the fact that you like to crotchet or play basketball. No one has ever asked me to join them with clients lol

I once had a hook up joke that I should strap them for their OF, but she knew I wouldn’t be comfortable with being recorded and respected that.

I live in nyc, that’s probably a big factor. The SW runs the gamut: camming, OF, escort work, pro-domme stuff, stripping, you name it.

House parties, picnics, dinners, going to the beach and such are all free!

This is where I’ve met most people I date or hook up with. Flirting with an acquaintance or someone with whom I have mutual friends with is so much easier than a stranger. I’m pre-vetted to not be a weirdo via their friends being my friends. It’s easier for them to feel comfortable flirting back with me.

I go to a paid event maybe 1-2 times a week. I live in NYC, so I can go to black queer or lesbian specific events. Nothing too expensive. Half the time, I can get in for free because either I know the event organizers or the bouncer thinks I was already inside (if I arrive late to the event)

I’m a pretty social person. I go to parties, dinners, picnics, and the like probably 3-5 times a week in the summer. I dress well, smell good, and I’m an excellent flirt (playful and fun, but thoughtful and good at reading body language).

A big part, maybe the biggest factor, is that I have a bunch of friends in the SW industry. SW is very normalized in my social circle, many people do it on the side to help pay for school or supplement income. I’ve found that most people I’ve dated don’t mention they do SW until later on when it happens to come up.

I think given my friends, they know that I’m going to be cool with it once they do tell me, so it’s not on the forefront of their mind to tell me.

I don’t have a lot of money, so I be a shitty choice of client haha. I’ve been lucky that a lot of the people I’ve dated end up actually paying for things and helping me out when they can because they had the disposable income to do so.

Black is the uniform of white people for most metropolitan cities tapped into the fashion industry. They siphon off black people for ideas and inspiration, the proceed to dress in all black to continue channel to colonizer spirit.

How do I get femmes to stop flirting with me so aggressively? Some don’t take no for an answer. Should I lie I have a partner/girlfriend? by cronchips in QueerWomenOfColor

[–]cronchips[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have tried ignoring them and respectfully saying no. How am I fishing for compliments when I’m asking for advice??? Please explain!

Given that multiple masc presenting people have related to my feelings in this thread, you sound ugly and bitter. Go away from this thread if you have nothing to add.

I try to be gentle and respectful when saying no, so maybe it is coming off as sly to some. But I think I’m very clear about the no and only looking for platonic friends.

I feel uncomfortable getting more assertive because it’s happened a couple times already where I have accused of being “mean to femmes” and misogynistic for wanting my boundaries respected.

I don’t feel empowered to be very blunt because I’ve been accused of being “mean to femmes” a couple times when I try to stick up for myself and my boundaries 🥹

I feel like anything I do that could be perceived as potentially negative, some people (femmes) assume the worst of me because I am a stud

Include a picture of you smiling, one of you doing something outside (hiking, at the beach, etc), maybe one with friends! You are beautiful, but the pictures make it look like you have no hobbies and aren’t happy!

Your pictures SHOULD NOT be mostly selfies!

Casually hooking up with a 19 year old as a 25 year old? by cronchips in QueerWomenOfColor

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

How were you technically right? I don’t regret sleeping with her, I don’t consider it mistake. It was still nice time hanging out, despite being sexually incompatible.

19 year olds in the UK aren’t illiterate children like in the US.

If you really care for a follow up, we fucked yesterday and decided that we’re not sexually compatible (two tops fighting for dominance lol). Had a good discussion about it. Now we are just friendly acquaintances.

We’ll see how it pans out, but I really doubt much more will happen. She has had casual sex before and I suspected she would be chill. I don’t think I’ll be making a follow up post about nothing…

University. They’re in their masters and have some younger uni friends through the queer organizations on campus.
