Are my boxers getting talked about in here? Nothing is sacred...



Ah.... Chris!!! There was a crush!!!

[waxnrope]

Since a kid, I always had a crush on Kim Novak

A long time ago, in a place far far away, I had a serious crush on LPGA golfer Patty Sheehan. I convinced my partner at the time to go with me to a tournament to watch her play (early 90's). She reluctantly agreed.

So, there we were, in the miserable summer heat and humidity...my g/f as bored and irritated as she can be. But, oh, how I am enjoying stalking Patty Sheehan. We were at the tee, waiting for Patty to go, when I said something like, "isn't this great?!?!?" to which my g/f replied, "this is worse than having root canal...can't you stalk someone who plays baseball?" At that moment, Patty's girlfriend Rebecca whips her head around and glared at us.

Precious memories...

Well those boxers sure aren't! Looked to me like they've seen better days.


i have never forgiven Chris Evert Lloyd for making those homophobic remarks back in the day -- even though she has since apologized and been stand up. But back then i was a tennis freak. My screen name is Martina for a reason. So no forgiveness from me for Miss Chrissy.

Hmm... I need to google Chrissy then to find out what she said (I remember something back then, but not sure what exactly...). I was a tennis freak back then too and would feel so torn when they would play each other...identifying with Martina as a masculine female and identifying with her style of play as a player myself (serve/volley - uncommon for a female), vs. the long time Chrissy favorite....

1) Sharon Stone - Basic Instinct just about killed me...HAWT!

2) Portia de Rossi - WAY before Ellen...back when she was on Ally
McBeal (late 1990's)..didn't even know she was gay then

3) Jennifer Aniston (she has that "down to earth" kind of thing)

One of my first crushes -

maybe it's just my mood tonight, or maybe the hormone alphabet soup is going bad this evening........

but I personally find it really disheartening to continually see that only the rich, famous, beautiful, powerful, fantasy people warrant a crush.....


why are mature regular women not crush material?

just thinking outloud, it's rhetorical.

my crush is at Home Depot, mature butch, with beautiful brown eyes, and dimples, quick to laugh, and was polite, and shook my hand in greeting...... ya, the personal touch
.....literally

You have a point! Actually, my OP began with these sentiments in some ways. I am enjoying seeing older crushees all around we, but, are we (including me), still going for celebs?

In thinking about this, I think it is hard to post about real crushes that are about Planet people... it is for me other than members that are really friends or that I have good time reading what they have to say. Also, I know I think a lot about even using the word crush about femmes here I know are coupled. Some, not so much, because I actually know them and their partners and they know I have good boundaries. Sometimes its just hard.

I was thinking today about my real-time crushes of people around me that are not even queer, but who I admire and also might think are attractive. Those are kinda crushes. And I have been thinking about femmes here that a crush is again, about the content of what they post, or bring to the site. I have been touched by many people here.

I also started the thread because the other one seemed to have the perfect bodied, young, celebrity types that other than on TV or films, we wouldn't even be thinking about.

Then there is the whole age issue. I know that I feel that being older often feels that I am less sexy than, not as desirable as the younger butches. I'm sure older femmes feel the same way. Yet, as an older person, I know that the exterior is simply not the most important thing to me as far as possible romantic feelings. Then there all of the life stage elements that need to fit for me. For example, I'm retired and just have more leisure time than many younger people. I want to enjoy the freedom I have earned, so my dating is focused on femmes around my own age.

Hope this helps and addresses what you bring up. I would love a discussion about how we older folks view age within the community and especially relationships and dating. Believe me, I never thought I would be single at 59 and dating again. I've spent nearly 27 of my adult years (21 with one partner and 6 with another) with someone as a partner.

Yes... lets talk about that personal touch! A thread started by Heart on the old site about age and our cultural currency brought a whole lot of discussion out. As we age, what is really at the center of our crushes? Let’s do it! But, have fun, too!

For me, it's pretty simple: it's about whose picture I can find on Google (because it's fun to see photos). I think this is fun/fluff and am pretty sure this thread would be kind of boring/tedious if everyone came in and described the person at the local garden center they hope to see every time they go in to buy begonias but never do get to see except for the one time they forget they have a little crush and go early Saturday morning to avoid the rush, wearing a baseball hat and a really weird shorts/shirt combination, and....there she is: "can I help you?"

Absolutely! Not exactly a crush, but...

When I was first figuring out this whole butch femme thing and was massively mega confused and conflicted about all kinds of stuff...I went one morning to a coffee house/cafe here...lesbian-owned and yummy food.

I was sitting there with my french press of coffee...feeling on the border (frankly) of massive depression...knowing I wasn't straight and didn't want men, feeling invisible to women...argh.

Sitting alone in my booth, staring at blueberry pancakes...hear the front door open. In walk two butches, talking...heading for breakfast...the second is tall, 50ish, chestnut brown hair with a little grey and beautiful blue eyes....looks at me, smiles, winks and says "good morning beautiful."

Oh yeah....I know those moments
