Newbies! Introduce yourself here!

Welcome Steele and Apollo.

Hey Apollo and Steele!

ClintB · 04-08-2017, 08:16 PM

Hello all! I've read the forums here from time to time, now am choosing to start posting as it think I have need for greater community, resources, perspectives.

A little about me... I'm not really sure where I fit in, but I'm seen as soft butch maybe in the queer community and frequently mistaken for male in the straight community (especially if the interaction is quick) I am also starting to use the term gender queer, though I feel the need to hang onto female/she/hers. I prefer female pronouns, but am not uncomfortable, even feel a bit validated, when misgendered.

So I'm here to help myself better understand me, become more comfortable with who I am.

Other than that I am a traveling medical professional. I'm getting tired of the road though, and I want to settle down and have a family someday. Currently casually dating but hyper focused on one sweet woman, who likes me for me.

Other than that, I like hunting and fishing, and am obsessed beyond measure with my Jeep Wrangler (if anyone here offroads... hit me up!)

Welcome ClintB, you have arrived at a very accepting and supportive community. Have fun.

Hello to everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. Not quite sure what to say, so I will just say Hi and say I hope to find an extended family here to feel part of. I have read the threads? and think this looks like a good spot to come ashore. I guess one thing I could share is that I am retired-Navy and still serve in the Naval Reserve.

Thank you - Navy

Welcome to the community, Clint.

I've been reading your posts out in forum threads and it looks like you're finding your way around the forums. And, if Dapper doesn't mind me saying so, I think you'll get some great objective advice from Dapper, as well as other butch and femme members in our community.

Best wishes,

Kätzchen

Chained Daisy · 05-23-2017, 05:08 AM

Hello BF Folk, Just like to re introduce myself. I was a member a few years ago, Daisy Chain, I closed an email and effectively managed to lock myself out of my account

then life got busy and time went by but I have found myself dropping in as a guest of late so thought I would re join to post on occasion and fully enjoy the site. I notice a few changes here and there, seems like love has been in the air on the Planet, that makes my heart smile !

girl_dee · 05-23-2017, 05:44 AM

Hi!

I knew your screen name seemed familiar. (I remember linking Daisy Chains back in the day)

I am sure the Planet foiks could help you get into your old account.

Well anyway, its nice to meet you, again!

I'm not really new...just haven't been on for a while.Feels good to be back!🙂

ierne · 08-23-2017, 03:49 PM

Hey, guys! I'm technically abroad right now, but I live in the UK, so if any of you do as well, I'd love to be friends. I live in the Southeast, and I love women's culture- especially media made by lesbians and women who love women in general- as well as being outdoors. Wishing you all a good day~

Femmewench · 08-24-2017, 09:32 AM

Tell us a bit about yourselves!
I'm enjoying the benefits of being over 50 (58 to be precise) including spending a week at Disneyworld for my 50th birthday. There's a freedom that comes with that age that I love. I have retired early. I'm living in a 32' motorhome and plan to travel in the US; I have not seen or spent any time in the eastern parts of the country.

What excites you?
Good conversation, scenery, nature, my extended family, challenges, and the b/f dance of course.

Where are you in this big bold world?
Home base is Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA as it states on our license plates)

What are your hobbies?
Bridge, reading and travel. I also enjoy watching professional football although I don't have a specific team I follow right now. (Thanks dad for teaching me if the offensive line stays down, it's a running play and if they stand up, it's a passing play.) I also enjoy baseball, but I prefer to see that live. (I still don't get the infield fly rule.)

What brought you here?
Google search and the need for community. I came out on-line 21 years ago and it's always been a good place to find friends. There is a dearth of B/F community where I live or perhaps more of a dearth of community altogether except around Pride and benefits.

Hi, everyone!

I'm a 37-year-old femme, originally from the Detroit area, now living in North Carolina, not far from the Virginia border. I came out as a lesbian about a year ago after years of considering myself bisexual. A connection with a butch woman totally changed what I understood about who I was and what I wanted. I'm single now, but there's still so much to learn about this community and this culture. I am really looking forward to getting to know more people, and gain a better understanding of what it means to identify this way.

Kathleen
