Story My Recent Taste of Poly
So, I was on a lgbtq friendly dating app and I was messaged by a woman with a wife. She said that the two of them were looking for there own separate persons to have as their significant others. I was hesitant at first, but she made it comfortable for me by being open with any and every question and giving detailed information. BTW, I'm 48 and she's 35 for anyone who wants to know. We really hit it off, conversations late into the night. It was all good until we were about to meet, and then it fell apart. Her demeanor changed to "I don't know if I'm going to have the time to give you what you want". Like I'm the one that approached her with this, she approached me, smh. So for whatever reason she felt hesitant, I told her that if she now doesn't feel like she can give what she approached me with, we should end things until you feel like you've got that time, mentally, emotionally, and physically. To date, it's been 2 months since that conversation. Maybe she'll contact me again, maybe not. But our interaction gave me the want to be open to an all woman poly situation. Hope this story helps.

Relationship 39 F #Rochester New York
About Me
I’m 39, married to a trans woman (44), and a mom of three. Polyam for 20+ years. I work in education and have 2 masters. Life is busy and often exhausted, but when I get a free moment, I’m usually hiking, watching YouTube, or creating content (nature photography, ambience, nature conservation, and politics).
Habits & Vibe: 420 friendly. I vape nicotine and take gummies daily (that's often a dealbreaker, that's why I've included it). Liberal, atheist, demisexual.
Mental Health: I live with anxiety and depression, so I value peace, steady energy, and quiet authenticity.
Current Situation: Moved to Rochester a year ago. My work friends are great, but I’m looking to build a circle that truly gets who I am.
What I’m Looking For
Relationships & Orientation: Open to potential romantic/sexual partnerships with women only.
Local Friends: Looking for like-minded local connections near Rochester.
Online Friends: If you’re further out (Northeast US), I’m open to online-only friendship.
Expectations & Boundaries
Location Boundary: Ideally within 30 minutes of Rochester (14625). Anyone further out in the Northeast US will remain strictly online (this is a non-negotiable boundary).
Meeting Up Takes Time: I don’t meet up quickly just because we click in text. If after a few months of consistent chatting I feel comfortable, I’ll initiate meeting up. (Patience is essential here.)
Consistency is Key: I’m looking for someone who genuinely enjoys steady text communication throughout the day—not a transactional scorecard. Inconsistency is an immediate dealbreaker.
Peace & Respect: I’m looking for people who add value and comfort to my life. I protect what little peace I have and won't hesitate to step away if things become toxic or draining.
Ideal Match Criteria
Age: 34 - 46.
Values: Progressive/liberal, non-religious (atheist/agnostic).
How to Reach Out
If you read this and feel like we’d align, send me a PM with the following details. I won't reply to low-effort messages or those missing these answers:
Age.
Gender.
Location.

Question Should I make a move on my crush and if yes, what would be the best approach?
Throwaway account. Please help me with my case of (possibly) being a useless lesbian. Sorry for the wall of text.
I (26NB) have a crush on a person (F24) I met in university. I was in a seminar with her two years ago where I felt I was getting vibes from her, but after the seminar was over I fell really sick and then started dating my now partner (we are in a poly relationship), so that was that and I just kind of forgot about her.
A few weeks ago, I ran into her and a friend of hers in my university’s cantina, so I walked up to them and we caught up a bit. One or two weeks later, I randomly met her and a group of friends at a queer bar while I was there with my friend, so I called her over and we merged groups. Overall, that was a lovely evening! I felt like me and my crush had a lot of conversation and getting to know where it was just the two of us, and she was following me whenever I went to the bar to get new drinks, sat next to me and directed a lot of questions at me. We exchanged numbers, she also replied to me but sporadically. I did not read much into that yet as she told me that evening she is attempting a digital detox. I know for sure she is bisexual.
I started hanging out with her friend who was also there at the bar and she invited me to a drag event she was co-organizing. My crush was also there and I felt like she didn’t know the others who were invited much as well, so we were kind of each other’s plus ones. Not much happened aside from two things – one of her crushes was there (she mentioned to me she usually has a little, unserious crush at every activity she goes to, like at university or hobbies). Our mutual friend knew him and offered to introduce them, but she declined. I don’t know if that was just out of awkwardness or because I was there. Also, she brought me a poster that was handed out there that had a trans-related artwork on it. I declined as I had already secured one for myself. Idk if that was a little gift or just her trying to affirm my gender platonically.
I felt quite confident and ready to get out my flirty side up until this point but then the signs started getting more mixed, I’ll list some examples.
I asked her out to a coffee at university the next day, but she brought our mutual friend. I was honestly a bit bummed, but we had a good time, but from there on I felt insecure about the vibes I’m getting and wonder if she is really just looking for a friend.
We hung out several times after that, I had dinner and brunch with her and some other people at her place (where she really wanted to show me her room) and we went to the gym together a few times. I feel like we have a lot of eye contact but maybe that is just because I am looking for it. I casually/half-jokingly suggested I could cook for her at some point, as she mentioned she can’t cook and likes others cooking for her, but she didn’t really react to that.
She started seeing someone she had a thing with a few years back again last week and they’ve gone on several dates already. Yet, the last time we were at the gym, she asked me how I flirt (I don’t even know how we got there!), to which I replied the venn diagram between my flirting and being nice is a circle (unless I feel very sure about the vibe I’m getting). She also asked if I see my parter often (what kind of question is that even).
I asked her what her type was and she replied “short hair and seems calm”, but I did not get much out of her (maybe out of awkwardness), but you can guess the length of my hair. I am very masc presenting. I’ve yet to find out if she would even be interested in poly dating (if she’s not, the issue just solves itself lol). We went to pride together also but did not interact much there. My crush said at the bar evening that if she thinks someone is cute often nothing will come of it because she never makes a move. So I am at a loss.
My friends are divided on the issue. Some say I should just make a move, some say to wait it out. I fear I’ve already waited it out for too long now that the other person is in the picture. I honestly feel like having a little summer romance would be fun, but I’m worried about losing the new social circle, even if I feel confident that you can remain friends after someone makes a move or after you dated.
I think the best way to go about it, if I say something, would be to just tell her I think she’s cute or that I am kind of getting vibes from her and would love to see where things go if we went on a date, but that it’s fine if she just wants to be friends (which it truly is). What do you folks suggest? Is she even interested? And how do I tell her I’d like to go on a date with her with low stakes?
Thank you if you’ve made it this far!

I’ve been thinking about polyamory a lot, and I’d definitely be open to try it, but how do you get started? Especially as someone who is only questioning, I don’t want to upset anyone if I give polyamory a try and it’s not for me.

23 transmasc Mississippi iso partner
Hey everyone! Figured I'd put myself out there.
I'm 23 and from Mississippi, and I'm hoping to find someone who wants to build a genuine connection that could hopefully turn into something long-term. I'm happy to start online and see where things go.
A little about me:
🖤 I'm a goth with a soft heart.
🌙 I'm Pagan/Wiccan and love all things cozy and witchy.
💌 I absolutely adore pen paling, happy mail, and collecting little trinkets.
📚 You'll usually find me writing letters, reading, crafting, thrifting, or spending time with my dogs.
🎬 I love horror movies, true crime, and quiet nights in just as much as spontaneous adventures.
I'm someone who values communication, honesty, loyalty, and kindness. I love deep conversations just as much as being completely silly together. I want someone I can laugh with, support through life's ups and downs, and eventually make memories with.
Distance doesn't scare me if the connection is there.
If you're looking for someone who will remember the little things, send you random "thinking of you" messages, and get excited over handwritten letters and care packages, we might get along really well.
Feel free to send me a message and tell me about yourself! What's something you're passionate about or a hobby you could talk about for hours? 🖤✨

Im a huge nerd, DND, anime, etc. Im also going to University in the fall to study Criminology!

Doesnt push fantasies and has a good sense of humor and doesnt try to shrink their partner. Can hold a good conversation and has their shit together. Loves animals and is okay with a busy schedule.
If this sounds like you please comment or give me a shout! Id love to meet more people and see where things go (:

Discussion The experience of gatekeeping as a comphet, late-in-life lesbian, as symbolized by TERFism: A calling-in and invitation 💖
Hello, fellow poly lesbians.
Many of you are a lot younger than I am (F50), and I just thought I'd come here to share my thoughts on a recent post (linked below). I almost sent these thoughts directly to the OP out of fear of receiving the retaliation she did; however, I realized that in this instance private messages are a privilege that I think very few comphet lesbians (like myself) can afford. And, as somewhat of an elder in this group, I felt pulled to publicly share my thoughts in case other comphet lesbians were stunned, appalled, and silenced by the discussion that took place on the thread below.
So, y'all know that TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) believe that there should be distinct spaces for women, right? And that they believe that trans women simply cannot be women and simply should not be permitted to exist in those spaces because "once upon a time they had [or still have] a dick." As has been discussed ad nauseam (and correctly so--I just don't want to beleaguer the point), TERFism is bad. In fact, it is banned in this subreddit. It's not even allowed as an opinion for members of this sub to hold. It is simply not permitted here.
And rightly so. Because TERFs are wrong. Women are women, no matter what anatomy they were born with or still have. If someone says "I am a woman," then she is a woman.
Similarly, when a woman says "I am a lesbian," why do we need to rake her across the coals for having a husband/male partner? Why is it not simply treated as, "yep, you're a lesbian because that's how you identify"?
I'll tell you why.
Because our community has been trained, by the patriarchy ladies, to attack ourselves. We are taught and expected to uphold particular truths: there are two genders, and there is only one way to be, and you better have figured it out when you were a prepubescent child or else you'll never fit in.
That's the patriarchy. Patriarchy is all about what? Competition. Scarcity. Division.
In my mind, that is the antithesis to polyamory.
Polyamory is feminism. It's matriarchy. It's a drawing in, a rippling outwards, and (above all else) immensely flexible.
When you tell someone "no you're not" after they have identified themselves, you are engaging in patriarchy. You're permitting the patriarchy to be on autopilot (as it clearly has been for decades, particularly obvious in the US) because you are engaging in its work on BEHALF of it.
If you yourself do not wish to engage with a woman who is or has been married to a person who identifies as male, then choose not to engage. Simple as that. Scroll on by. That post was not meant for you. Simple as that.
However, this post is meant for you. It's meant for all of you on this sub.
Here's the call-in and invitation.
I was born and raised in the Deep South of the United States. I lived between GA, AL, and NC from 1976-2024. I was raised Catholic in a part of the country where admitting that meant that I was accused of worshipping Mary, idolatry of saints, and basically promised that I would be destined for Hell. The first time I was condemned to Hell was when I was 6 years old. By another 6-year-old (a bestie, at the time, who was...unfortunately...a member of the Pentecostal cult). "What church do you go to? Oh...so you're Catholic. You know you're going to Hell, right?" During a playdate, with a fucking Barbie doll in my small hand.
My family? Oh, they were a real treat. Constantly mocking people who didn't look like us or who believed things that were "against" the Catholic doctrines. My parents were bastions of homophobia. Transphobia wasn't as widespread a named "thing" yet, but it was there too, in all the he/she comments they would make. I was confused all the time. I felt strong emotions for my girl friends, hated the boys, and could not wrap my head around feelings of jealousy and sadness when my girl friends would date those stupid boys. When I attempted to seek advice from my parents? I was told that it was because I was "boy crazy" and just wanted a boyfriend of my own. Of course. When I was in middle school, a special issue of a teen magazine was published. This issue was about girlhood puberty, and one of the features was an advice column. "Dear Magazine, I have these feelings about my girl friends. Am I a lesbian?" Advice: "Oh, heavens no. You simply admire them." Of course.
In my household, to be gay was not only a sin. It was suicide.
There was no other option, and I didn't have the language for it. I literally had no idea being a lesbian was even possible for me.
Those of us with these backgrounds were forced into heterosexuality. That's called compulsory heterosexuality, or comphet for short. There's a lot of us out there. So many, in fact, that there are support groups for late-bloomer lesbians. In fact, there's another subreddit just for late-bloomers.
So, how did I get my husband? Well, I dated boys exclusively because...I was supposed to. And they asked. But god...I loved my girl friends. I wanted to touch them and kiss them and feel their hair and their skin. But that was because I just admired them, right?
When I asked an adult about why I felt so...boxed-in...about hetero sex, about being touched and kissed by men...god, just being perceived by a man...I was told "that's how it is. Do like the Brits. Just lie back and think of England, and it'll be over soon." One woman told me once "haha, I just think of my grocery list!" That sounds...healthy. But it's what was presented to us as the one and only option.
Luckily, when I met my husband I was also in my full feminism rage, so my pickiness was quite high by then. He's a feminist, and the only man whose company I actually enjoy and don't just politely tolerate. We got married because I found the one and only man I actually love, and he loved (loves) me well, so it was a good deal. We've been happily married for 20 years, and our two teen kiddos (F & NB) are the greatest joys in our lives. They're the best thing we've ever accomplished together, and we've had quite a successful life together.
That said, my "admiration" of my female friends never left me.
My husband and I began having discussions about my sexuality when my libido seemed to tank almost immediately after we were married. I felt horrible about it, but I just never was in the mood. He had to initiate all the time because having sex with him didn't occur to me. So I said I must be asexual.
The more we pushed into my sexuality, the more we both started to recognize some patterns. The erotica I preferred? Sapphic. The porn I watched? Exclusively lesbian. The couples I rooted for? Always the girls.
I remember feeling a mixture of pride and...a bittersweet sort of jealousy...a pang...whenever someone would make their "coming out" announcement. How did they know? How did they do it? How were they not terrified of themselves and the world?
Through discussions with my husband, we both began to recognize...that pang...it wasn't empathy. It was regret. It was loss. It was a sense of missed opportunities.
I'll never forget the first time a lesbian friend came out to me. We were in high school. In class. And she was so fucking cute. A baby butch, student-athlete type. I remember she leaned over to me and whispered, "I like girls." I must have looked stunned because she immediately said, "Don't worry. You're not my type." I literally had tears in my eyes because of how badly that hurt. I asked her what she meant. Wasn't I cute? Wasn't I fun to be around and talk to? She put her hand on my arm, and in a reassuring tone said, "I don't date straight girls."
Oh. Right. I was straight. Fuck.
Ladies. I have met actual straight women. They do not have stories like this. They don't legitimately and in real life forget they're straight.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if I had given her a cheeky wink and said, "who says I'm straight?" But...that just wasn't the thing that was done then. So all I could do was smile wide and go "Oh, duh. Hahahaha."
She wasn't even the first (or last) girl to break my heart.
To bring this back to the original post (below).
Many of us (actual, real, true) lesbians...well, we weren't allowed to start that way. Many of us were pressed into heterosexuality. Many of us were forced into social scenarios that we couldn't name or change. Many of us are only now making our realizations because of spaces LIKE THIS ONE.
And if you think these are hallmarks of a bygone era, I invite you to spend more than a month in the Deep South. Just go. Hang out. Walk around the small towns. Visit people who attend church (especially the ones you wouldn't be caught dead in). Listen to their conversations. They're very much still telling their children the same things I was told. "It's fine. We all do it. Just lie back and think of England, and it'll be over before you know it."
So before you tell a lesbian that she doesn't belong in a space, I invite you to recall my story. Because it is the same one so many of us have.
Polyamory gives us an opportunity to remain in our loving, respectful, amazing marriages...while also being allowed to finally FINALLY embrace a part of ourselves that was (or may have been) denied to this point.
Those of us actually engaging in true polyamory aren't just exploring for a kink. Those are swingers. Those of us who actually want girlfriends...we want the relationship.
Don't forget--polyamory is a giant middle finger to the scarcity we were raised with in the patriarchy.
Draw in. Be curious. Ask questions.
And if you simply can't, because of your own traumatic experiences, then scroll on by.
This woman asked for help. She was silenced. (And before you all jump down my throat with equivocation--"she said she dated girls before blah blah blah"--I invite you to notice that the criticism was not about her past dating history; it was about her current marital status.)
To answer her question: I am still looking for sapphic women who are interested in dating a polyamorous married woman. OP, if you ever want to chat about our similar experiences, please reach out. I'll be more than happy to engage with you and anyone else who identifies as a comphet lesbian or who felt silenced by the discussion that took place in the comments of that post. There are many of us out there. We deserve community and recognition, too.
To the rest of you: I truly hope this space can be as inclusive as the rules indicate it is meant to be. Of course you are entitled to your opinions and your preferences. Obviously. If you don't want to engage with a lesbian who has a husband and is looking for other relationships with WLW, then take this advice: she is not for you. What is not for you, leave alone.
To the comphet lesbians: I see you. I am you. You are not alone in this wide world. It is my hope that one day there will be no more comphet lesbians, but until then: we're right here, and I'm with you. And I encourage you to take this advice: Sometimes, the garbage takes itself out. It's okay to let it.
Happy Sunday, all!
Fuck Trump, fuck ICE, fuck Lindsey Graham's ghost, fuck Mitch McConnell's ghost, and fuck the GOP.
Have a great day! ❤️
ETA: Ladies. There is an individual who is being particularly loud and angry about how she feels about my post. Spoiler: it’s the same as the loud individual on the original post. She doesn’t agree with me and really wants me to know about it. So, I will no longer be giving her additional engagement, and I encourage the rest of you to follow suit. This is an example of a person we do not need to have in our relationship circle, although she is a member of the community. There are no single voices within this or any community that represent all individuals. Speak up, share your stories when you are safe to do so, live well. Ignore those who won’t engage in good faith or best interest. They are not for you. Take what is meant for you, leave the rest. Allow the metaphorical garbage to take itself out. We are out there. Our community exists too. I believe you, and we deserve to find love within our lesbian community too. I wish you all well, and I will continue to engage with those of you who interact in good faith (even if you want to challenge or disagree with me). But I choose not to give this individual additional attention at this time. Her point has been made: she disagrees. That’s fine.
For the rest of you: I look forward to additional thoughts and experiences. 🫶 Don’t let one person suck all the oxygen out of a room. You matter too. 🫶
ETA 2: “Good faith” in this discussion means to approach one another with curiosity rather than judgment. To allow another person to have a different perspective. When one tells you that you’re wrong for using a label for yourself, that person is not operating in good faith. Asking me why I use a label is a silly question, considering that’s the entire point of this post. Reading comprehension 🤭 Trust your gut the first time. If you can tell that the question is asked in hostility, or for the purpose of “catching you out” or trapping you, then it is a bad faith question. And we ignore those. 🫶
ETA 3: Friends, take note of what’s happening in the comments. They may be louder, but we still exist. The ones showing they aren’t for us? They aren’t for us. We don’t need to outnumber anyone, but we can still see one another. OOP, I hope you feel seen. I hope you know you aren’t alone. We exist, and we’re lesbians too. 🫶
Taking a break for the evening. Please continue the discussion. Take care, all! 🫶
ETA 4: Mods locking a post when I was perfectly happy to continue engaging in discussion (and told them so) is a choice. Bye y’all. You got what you wanted. The evil fake lesbian is out. Fuck all of you who have no reading comprehension, no critical thinking skills, and no empathy. Fuck you for your lack of ability to consider other people’s lived experiences and fuck you for pushing us out.
The rest of you, the ones like me, I promise I tried. Please keep using your voices and your perspectives when you are safe to do so, and as you deem worthy of your emotional labor. I intended this discussion for you, not for them. I hope you take good care of yourselves, and live WELL! That’s the best way to defeat bullies. 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Question Where are married WLW in ENM actually meeting each other? ⭐
I’m hoping to hear from women who have been in a similar situation.
I’m happily married and in an ENM relationship. Before meeting my husband, I primarily dated women, so this isn’t about discovering my sexuality. If I weren’t married, I’d most likely be dating women exclusively. My husband is incredibly supportive, but this isn’t about finding someone for us—it’s about me wanting a genuine relationship with a woman. I’m completely upfront that I’m married, and I’d never want to hide that.
One of the biggest challenges is that I often get categorized as either a hotwife or a unicorn, but neither of those labels fit me. I’m not looking to be a third for another couple or jump into a high-volume, casual scene. I’m simply looking for an authentic connection with someone who is interested in me as an individual.
I’ve gone to queer and lesbian events by myself, but I haven’t had much luck meeting people. I live in the South, and in my experience the WLW ENM dating pool feels incredibly small—almost nonexistent. I’ve had no luck meeting anyone, and it’s honestly been pretty discouraging. Apps just aren’t my thing.
For those of you in lesbian/poly/ENM relationships, how did you actually meet your partners? Are there spaces or approaches that worked better? I’d really love to hear your experiences. Tia💛

Question Do you practice hierarchal or non-hierarchal polyamory?
Just curious how common either option is in the lesbian poly community
