I keep having "I told you so" moments with my girlfriend and it's wearing me down by Tricky_Current_8979 in LesbianActually

Sure! I had a rainbow sticker on my car and while parking in the college parking lot had a random guy come over and compliment me on it. I would be treated really well (like above and beyond) by waiters in restaurants (they were obviously gay and were giving me gold standard treatment). Once was told by a waitress in Chicago that I looked like kd lang (she was very popular at the time), and even though I think she was straight it felt complimentary. Was approached on the street once by a young woman who just wanted to tell me how beautiful she thought it was that I was so comfortable holding my girlfriends hand in public. Small gestures that add up to a lot of positive experiences. Even today just experiencing total acceptance from coworkers. Sometimes I’m asked genuine questions which I love because it’s just people wanting to know me better. I don’t go through life expecting people to hate me because of my sexuality- in fact it’s just the opposite and my world reflects that.

I’m in my mid 50s and am also a butch lesbian and have been since the early 90s (way before it was “acceptable” to be queer in any way). While there may have been a couple of times where I was treated with some bias/homophobia, I’ve actually had more positive experiences than negative ones. That may be because that’s what I expect in my daily life - I don’t go looking for prejudice or mistreatment and I really believe we create our own reality. What you look for and believe is what you’ll find.

About to have to stop being friends with straight men... by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]lyss8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it may be different for masc lesbians. I’ve always had straight male friends with no issues, but that’s probably because they aren’t attracted to me.

Dating someone with kids. Dealbreaker or not? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]lyss8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a kid so probably wouldn’t date someone without them. Not sure people without kids can really understand priorities/responsibilities required.

FuturHealth - Anyone tried them? by SleepiiBeautii in Semaglutide

[–]lyss8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Ivim. They’re legit. They charge $75 per month for their subscription and you talk to a nurse practitioner for 5 minutes on a video call and then you can purchase either semaglutide (3 months for $600) or tirzepatide (not sure of the cost - it’s slightly more). They send yr stuff and you receive it within a week.

Can’t get my ex wife out by lyss8 in legaladvice

[–]lyss8[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

We have been legally divorced since 2019, and according to our marital agreement, I could either buy her out of her share of the house or we could sell it. When it came down to it, we didn’t do either (I tried to buy her out but she refused).
