Camaraderie, friendship. It's a safe place.

BFP
 

For me BFP provides a sense of community, support, friendship, and chosen family. I have made some wonderful friendships here.

Ya, exactly what Chad said:hangloose:

Community that I can connect with, when I don't get to get out much with the outside community here in town, I actually don't hang out with any b/f folks here in my side of town.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. And with my spouse so sick, it's hard to go out anywhere or get together with friends.

I found this site thanks to the DayWalkers. Ever since, I joined, I have laughed and cried at the posts here. I have attended several Reunions and I am hoping to attend another one soon! The best one, is when Medusa changed my name from Zimmyglrl to Zimmeh :)

Where I currently live, there isn't much of a lgbtq community, so this is my safe place. I love chatting with people from all over the world and I look forward to making new friends along this journey.

A place where I can come and be myself, not judged...
also a place to share my thoughts on topics and make friends too...

thank you,

I like being in a place where people get me. As in, "Yes, I really do need to fix my hair and apply makeup before I go hiking." LOL!

BFP is a place where I'm judged on the quality of my discourse or argument not on looks, scars, body dimensions, or clothes.

For me, it's one of 2 sites regularly visited. The most intimate one. My online activity, Partner, and anonymous trips to the store make up the day. Of course, there's a few doctor's appointments per month.

Am glad y'all are here. Thank you.

Keeps me informed on what's going on in the community and society at large,but mostly the community.The company ain't so bad, either.:kettlepot:

For me, BFP is a place of self-discovery amongst a warm, friendly community, as my life is taking some unexpected twists and turns. It's played its part (and continues so to do) in helping me overcome some old personal demons and hangups that have caused me much stress over the years.

It's such a shame that I'm never likely to meet any of the folk here offline, as, butch, femme or other alike, the community here is just so damned nice, sweet, and I've laughed and cried many a time at posts here in just the few months I've been a member. BFP is like having a bunch of aunties, uncles and siblings I can talk to when I need to or just play with online when I wish. I love BFP!

Some things don't change
 

I'm much more of a stalker than I used to be and I spend far too much time in chat now. I still think the opportunity for friendship is key. Being able to spend time with people who "get me" is an awesome feeling.

A fun experience! When I log on to BF I come to have fun and hopefully makes others laugh!

I am a person who's buttons are not easily pushed! I won't engage in a clash, skirmish, tangle, tussle or a verbal fight! If someone is trying to ruin my fun time with any nastiness I simply turn the other cheek or better yet use my 'ignore" button.

YES!

I love the discourse. I am a very passionate person, so naturally when the threads HEAT UP, I am most interested. We have some very talented writers here.:sunglass:
