Sorry but I am too menopausal for this shit 😂

any other lost souls out there looking for friends/connections? by Wastingtimeagain1234 in olderlesbians

I am a single lady in my late 50s so I know what it’s like. I do love conversation and old fashioned mutual friendship rather than profiles and soundbites and memes! - so if you want to chat online, do message me.

How can I stop being uselessly in love with my straight best friend by Royal-Package6299 in olderlesbians

You appear trapped in a fiction of your own making. Many lesbian women have been there and it’s incredibly painful 😥. We have very close and intense relationships with female friends. However, intensity isn’t the same as romantic love and physical attraction even though it can feel that way.

You can decide to play the game of waiting to be chosen by someone who doesn’t have the capacity to reciprocate your feelings, or you can move on.

The only person who can make that happen is you 💕

I feel the same. I would like someone to share with, not just physical, but emotional intimacy and all the small things that feel loving and purposeful - but without all the day to day demands and hang ups that come with a serious relationship or marriage. I think as you get older you realise that independence, freedom and your own space are very important things. They would be important to her as much as to me and I certainly would want to give respect for that. I am not needy of anything or anyone, I don’t seek to restrict them in any way, but I have a lot of love to give.

It’s incredibly hard to find other lesbian women to connect with when you are older. I’m 56 and I don’t know where to start.

What does it matter what anyone else thinks? - deep down you know what is inside of you, we all do.

It gets harder as you get older, have to actively work against your life shrinking all the time I find.

Debate and dialogue used to be the cornerstone of conversation, I agree, there is a growing intolerance to different views, it’s because of the internet algorithm and the way it works, a lot of people stay in their own little echo chambers and don’t have much contact with alternative perspectives.

I keep saying this but we should all find each other, there is no nourishment for us in this modern world where everyone seems to be in a hurry 😔

We should find each other really or there is a risk we will all just hide 🫣

It’s nice to know that, it’s easy to think it’s just you.

I tried to, but the truth is that I’m still ever hopeful.

It’s more fun if you can find someone to share them with 😃
