Are all the Bisexual Ladies shy or something?

Having said network is a tad bit difficult when every other thread is hijacked by third parties. It's rather discouraging.

I mean a RL network.. where like minded girls pass information to other like minded girls for possibilities or even intros at clubs and places... it does work..
 
There used to be a nice Lez club here. But it closed, so I've been lost for a new way to contact like-minded women

I understand what you're saying, but I think we were addressing two different matters. You jumped right onto a tangible solution for physical encounters and shall we say, men-free, safe spaces/places? I was still on the virtual aspect of networking and, more specifically, within this forum. I applaud your thinking, but it will only be of any good to users/members who are, geographically speaking, relatively close.

Resuming the shyness vs. wariness issue and picking up my sentiment on why I feel it's discouraging. I happen to have an accentuated preference for women. I don't announce said preference blatantly, but I do let people know of it, if the question arises. I would not consider myself much of a regular here, either. Despite decling any further interaction(s), my experience with the men who have contacted me in here, so far, has been positive. Other women might have had different experiences and will certainly have divergent opinions. This is all without even touching the 'men posing as women' issue. I am going somewhere with this reasoning, I promise. I am not a shy person. Selective, perhaps, but not shy. Now, if we take into account that, as a woman who (and as an example):

  • Does not belong to the reigning majority that has a strict or more evident liking for people of the opposite sex;
  • Despite listing my sexual preference(s), I still get bombarded (if not worse) with unwanted advances of unwanted individuals (Yes, I am aware this is the internet, just indulge me please);
  • Is, or falls under the high probability of being, catfished by individuals posing as women;
  • Threads upon threads are hijacked/smothered by other individuals who are nowhere near what the original poster wanted or what the thread topic is about.
Do you see why I really think shyness takes second place when talking about actively reaching out, as a woman, to other women online? It's exhausting.

I'm sure many would say, 'Well, if you don't like it here, why don't you log off, permanently? Or find some other site that better caters to your tastes?' I never said I disliked anything. I like the site and I like the forum, even if I am not a intensive user. I like to read about things I may not know already and learn. If I get to connect with someone in the process, splendid!

Some people don't like analogies, I happen to be fond of them. See, if this was a highway, traffic would have to flow in a certain way. Regardless of our destinations or detours/exits we'd have to take in order to get there, we'd all be in our vehicles of choice, listening to whatever music we wanted in our stereos and the weather would be perfect for travelling. Problem is, there are always those smartasses that swerve their car ALL across the other highway lanes (and back, if they have to) just because or because they're trying to overtake as many cars as they choose. Not to mention road rage. Everything would be so much better and nice if people simply stuck to their lane. We'd all get to our destinations (whatever those might be) happily, safely, in time and, best of all, alive.

I apologize for the ramble and overall tone of my post. I don't mean to offend or bring anyone's humour down with it. I started writing the first paragraph, then my fingers, apparently, took over.

Am I late to the party? Just wanted stop in and say hello! To answer the original poster's question: I am not shy :)
 
lesbian here, but not shy. just don't get on here as much as I'd like.
 
curious

I'm curious about what it would be like to be with another woman. I think I'm so used to chatting with guys and them almost always initiating, that I am just a little reticent to take that first step with a woman. I don't know if that's shy or I don't know how to get a conversation started since this is all new to me. I suppose I could start with Hello... :)
 
Hello. I am not shy. I am however in Ontario Canada and would like to meet someone who lives actual touching distance 😉
 
First timer

Afternoon ladies! This thread caught my eye so I thought I'd drop in for a read. Hope everyone is having a great day.
