Hmmm..I have not been a prolific poster, or stalker on the planet. I check in from time to time, see some familiar screen names, then go back to whatever I was doing earlier. There is something reassuring about knowing i can pop in whenever i have time, check out the new threads, catch up on the familiar threads, then go on with other things.

The aspect of the planet that is far more important to me is the opportunity to make friends that meet up in real life. The friends that i have met and stayed in touch with on this site are some of the finest people I know

starryeyes · 05-03-2013, 02:19 PM

Friendship, community, education, laughs and love.

~baby~doll~ · 05-05-2013, 01:14 AM

Let me see, I come here through Wolfsgirl who recommended the site. I was posting elsewhere and the experience was fine, until, I happened to find a woman with whom I became attached. Well this was out of bounds and she and I expressed our feelings in private messages, we were both banned without opportunity to even dialogue with staff to find out if there was a way to at least share an email address. Because we had followed the rules, we have no personal information and can't even find each other.
It is okay. I am sure we will both get over the broken hearts. I have this site and though, I know few of you and share on an intimate level with few, I am content. As I read past posts and threads I openly laugh and shed tears. I see the closeness and acceptance in each and every word shared. There is a trust and bond between everyone that rises above most boards. I am happy to have found this sanctuary in the storm of life. Yes we are not the same but as we walk and awaken to each other we are and can be family. I am beginning to discover this now. Thanks all of you for the lovely welcome and the embrace I feel as I post. Hugs and so much love!

It means that I have a place to go to to read up on what people, and my friends are doing. To smile at everyones antics, and as some so eloquently put "the fuckery" that commences all the time. It means having a place that I know I can come to where people understand the "type" of person I am, and at the same time, there is such a variety within our group. It's interesting. A never ending learning forum, if you will.

But all in all, it means I can kick back after a mentally exhausting day of work and smile because the people here make the day that much better.

Knowing me, i will prolly be crying like a blubbery idiot by the time i am finished with this post. Tears are already starting..
* Deep breath* This Site... means the world to me. At first i was leery of it only cause i first came out in and with the other site.. and that was the most wonderful place in the world to me. i also made some friends there and started growing into myself.
i joined this site but did not do much posting, or bonding, cause i did not know who anyone was.. there were many name changes that went on this site and i didn't know who to trust.
After some time... i came out of my shell here, and just let things be, and decided that i would not get out of this site what i wanted and needed.. unless i gave it and all y'all a chance.
i am SO thankful i did.
In my darkest hours.. i find peace, comfort, friendship, love. etc.
i have gone thru so much, but i have not gone thru it alone.
i yearn to meet E/everyone in person.. to connect face to face.. and i desperately hope against hope to be able to go the reunion * pauses to blow nose and wipe eyes*
i NEED to connect to people face to face. Did i say.. NEED?
i am still struggling with some things.. some.. too personal to post.. but.. i know.. here.. on this website.. thanks to Medusa and Jack, and everyone else who helps this place function and flow..
i am home.. and.. not alone.
*Wipes eyes once again* Thank You.

This is definitely the ONE place I know I can go and feel safe...where I am free to be me...I have made wonderful friends here....

I know I would be lost without the Planet...I am so thankful for this outlet, the cheering on, the care and concern for others, the love here. It is a most beautiful and happy place to be....

To each and every one of you who moderate, work hard, fix, slave, and give this Planet to us so willingly....thank you from the very bottom of my heart...there are not enough words...

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.

CHAT! yes... i love chat. i was a chatter way back when and even though it’s not as popular as it used to be, the chatters become friends and develop a deeper connection than just posting on the threads.

Chatters are SO welcoming!

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.

Dominique · 03-28-2018, 09:39 AM

I have been on B/F forums for about 20 years. I was never a prolific poster. (more posts here than any where)Sanctuary, community, a place to go find myself, or be myself. A place to commune with others like myself, away from the judgment of the world outside. With freedom of self comes something like light. Out of light, comes love (deep)

Ditto!
Like you, I just refuse to engage in pettiness & nastiness.

The IGNORE button is just amazing, isn't it?! Hell yes!

girl_dee · 10-18-2017, 11:12 AM

It means that it's the format for some lifetime relationships that i would not have made otherwise.

Being introverted it's my preferred method of social gathering

It's learning. I've had my eyes opened to some things that have made me wiser.

It's where i can talk about being a kinky femme

It's where i can connect with my femme sisters

its being exposed to butch energy

It's where i share my joy and i have lots of that to share

It means a lot to me.

Esme nha Maire · 10-18-2017, 11:53 AM

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!
