I used to love reading, want to fall back in love with books again.

My favourite genre is non-fiction as I have aphantasia. Any book recommendations would be great...

I generally like romantic, graphic novels and comics!

Thank you ladies ☀️

31F #London #Edinburgh #UK #US #EU - Hoping to find my partner in joy

Hey, I’m Jae 👋🏾

I’m 5’5”, a Black queer woman based in Scotland, originally from London, and I’m back in London fairly regularly. I’m here to meet women and hopefully build something genuine — whether that starts with friendship, dating, or simply seeing where the chemistry takes us. 🏳️‍🌈

I’m a late-diagnosed autistic woman, which has definitely shaped how I experience the world and relationships. I value honesty, emotional depth, self-awareness and being able to have conversations that go beyond small talk. I’m particularly drawn to women who are emotionally available, communicative and comfortable with vulnerability.

Who I’m into 💕

I’m looking for women 27+, ideally someone emotionally mature, self-aware and genuinely interested in building a connection. I tend to be attracted to masculine women and definitely have a #Masc4Masc preference, although I don't really fit neatly into femme/stud categories myself. Personality-wise I'm more masculine, while my appearance is somewhere in between.

I’m not interested in men and I'm specifically hoping to meet women who are confident in their attraction to women and interested in exploring something meaningful.

A little about me 🌿

I’m child-free and have two very spoiled boy cats. 🐈🐈

I’m #420friendly and have ARFID, so food can be a slightly different experience for me — but I still love going out for brunch and finding places that work for me.

I’m a psychology nerd and can happily spend hours talking about human behaviour, relationships, attachment, sexuality and why people do the things they do. I’m also into astrology and spirituality, so I enjoy both deep psychological conversations and slightly more woo-woo ones. ✨

Politically, I’m left-wing and I value openness, compassion and being able to have thoughtful conversations about the world.

Things I actually enjoy 🧩

Day trips 🚆

Brunch dates 🥞

Museums 🖼️

Comedy clubs 😂

Board games 🎲

LEGO 🧱

Exploring new places

Long conversations that accidentally turn into 3-hour conversations

I’m much more interested in quality over quantity. I’d rather get to know one woman properly than collect endless matches that never go anywhere.

I’m open to long-distance connections and happy to start with messaging or video calls before meeting. I’m also comfortable with picture swapping once there’s some mutual trust and we're both comfortable.

Ultimately, I’m looking for a woman I can genuinely connect with, laugh with, explore with and feel understood by. Friendship is important to me too, and I’m happy to let things develop naturally rather than forcing a particular outcome.

If you think we'd get along, come say hi. 💕👋🏾

Any WLW here?

I'm curious if there are any Queer or Lesbian women here and what was their final straw?

I'm a late bloomer Lesbian and have been single for the past year.

I have no desire to date until I finish my healing journey but I am not put off the experience of dating women but I do absolutely love being single and only having to consider myself.

The 30s really opens your eyes!

I look forward to this chapter of being single for my 30s and onwards.

Ive had the joy of experiencing what it means to be loved romantically, when I had my first relationship but since then constantly meeting avoidant and emotionally immature people became exhausting.

The BS, I allowed in my 20s, I can't stomach the thought of allowing in my 30s.

After nearly a decade of poor relationship patterns and finally learning to accept myself and sexuality, I look forward to enjoying my life with my friends.

I also appreciate with how much people share on social media, feeling less alone in the poor dating game.

No more bare minimum or overly understanding to the point of self disregard. To living a child-free, solo, emotionally well life.

Wanting to start CPAP machine

I (31F) have been a terrible snorer since I was a child. Maybe it was due to being born extremely prematurely. In 2017/18, I saw a sleep doctor and was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I have tried the mouth guards over the years and sleeping on my side without any luck.

I am now in a relationship and we want to move in together. The issue is sometimes I wake up and find he has gone to sleep on the sofa as the snoring is bad. I'm underweight, so not sure if gaining weight would help me too?

For those who use the CPAP machine, is it trial and error?

I live in the UK and besides very severe cases, I don't know many people who snore who use the CPAP machine.

In the womanhood world, there seems to be this unspoken acceptance that you should be a "girls girl" just because we are women. I'm not sure if it's because im autistic, the way I look (severely underweight due to ARFID) or a racial issue ?

Woman just generally dislike me for existing. I have only had 3 close women friends in my whole life and only 1 remains out of the 3. I have always gotten on better with men because I can relate to their personalities much more. Even in childhood, I was a proud "tomboy".

Im not writing this post to talk down on other woman, just want to know if its a general autistic experience to struggle to connect with other women as an autistic women? Or am I just that unlikeable.

Maybe its also because generally speaking I feel very content in life. I live a simple life and enjoy being a simple person. I explain it like this "imagine eating and feeling full and satisfied, that's what life is like to me whereas for others they are gluttonous and can never fill their hunger void".

I also am aware my facial expressions, do not help the situation as I have a very strong "resting b*tch face".

Edit: without calling it being a "girls girl", I value the safety of other women, not prioritising male validation over your own wellbeing/other women's wellbeing. Creating community amongst women and also holding women/myself accountable for any toxic behaviours. Unlearning misogyny.
