Friends with benefits/sexfriend/coup d'un soir

Bonjour,

Je suis F23 et je sors d'une relation plutôt longue (en tout cas pour moi) de presque deux ans avec une autre femme. C'était ma troisième relation lesbienne, et je ne suis jamais sortie avec un homme. Pourtant, je sais que je ne suis pas lesbienne et que j'ai beaucoup d'attirance pour les hommes. J'ai déjà eu des relations charnelles avec des hommes, des amitiés très fortes, et parfois les deux en même temps (surtout entre mes 18 et 20 ans, à la fac, où je me suis bien amusée, c'est vrai).

Il faut savoir que j'ai beaucoup subi de comportements violents de la part d'hommes. Les micro-agressions sont des choses que je remarque très vite, au point d'être devenue très suspicieuse à l'égard de certains hommes. J'ai été harcelée dans la rue pour la première fois quand j'étais en 6e, comme malheureusement beaucoup de femmes.

Après avoir quitté la fac, j'ai aussi beaucoup intellectualisé et repensé à certaines choses que j'avais vécues avec des hommes, que je considère aujourd'hui comme des violences sexuelles ou sexistes. Avec le recul, c'est encore plus difficile pour moi de rencontrer des hommes. J'ai un peu un ras-le-bol général.

Pourtant, j'en ai envie, parce que je suis sûre que parmi toutes les mauvaises expériences, il y a aussi plein de personnes avec qui je pourrais bien m'entendre. Et je ne me vois pas ressortir avec une femme pour l'instant. Ce n'est tout simplement pas ce dont j'ai envie, surtout sur le plan sexuel.

Après ma séparation, je me suis inscrite sur quelques sites de rencontre pour voir ce que ça donnait... et quelle déception. J'avais l'impression que toutes mes craintes se réalisaient une par une.

J'avais indiqué que je ne cherchais rien de sérieux : friends with benefits, sex friends, enfin vous voyez l'idée. Mais je me demande s'il y a un malentendu, ou si ma demande est mal comprise.

J'ai discuté avec quelques personnes et, les unes après les autres, c'était soit des phrases très crues du genre : « J'ai envie de manger de la minette » après une seule journée de discussion, soit des nudes, soit des demandes répétées d'envoyer des photos de moi (pour voir mon corps ou mon visage). Sur cinq personnes, j'ai arrêté de parler aux cinq au bout de deux jours tellement c'était fatigant.

En fait, je comprends tout à fait que je recherche quelque chose de léger, que j'ai envie de m'amuser, de rencontrer des gens et de coucher avec eux. Mais est-ce que c'est devenu impossible d'avoir une vraie discussion avant ? De se voir avant de commencer les hostilités ?

Je trouve ça tellement peu naturel de parler sexe au bout de deux heures de match. Surtout que la plupart discutent normalement au début, puis il y a un switch soudain dans leur comportement, comme s'ils se transformaient en loups affamés. Désolée, mais ça me donne vraiment une impression de prédateur. 😭

Je sais que rencontrer quelqu'un dans la vraie vie, ce n'est pas pareil et que c'est souvent moins bizarre. Mais j'ai du mal à faire ce genre de rencontres : je ne sors pas beaucoup en boîte ou dans les bars.

Du coup, est-ce que c'est normal de galérer autant à rencontrer des hommes, même quand on ne cherche pas une relation sérieuse ? Ou est-ce que le problème vient simplement de moi ?

PS : je sais bien que 5 personnes c'est pas très représentatif mais ça me freine quand même beaucoup dans mon envie de continuer 🥹

I can't shop anymore

Hi guys ! Do you have the same problem as me ?

I can't shop any clothes on yesstyle since last week. I chatted several times with a yesstyle agent but I don't know what they're doing, and I wanted to know if I'm in the situation.

I live in France and all clothes are unavailable for my destination. I can't add it in the shopping bag.

When I say all clothes it's literally all the clothes sell and normally available on the site, the accessories, the shoes and the health section (vitamin, probiotic etc). Everything except skincare and make up products.

Isn't it so weird ? Does anyone have an explanation or am I alone ?

Also I don't use vpn. It doesn't work on private google research, and it also doesn't work when I'm disconnected from my yesstyle account.

Edit : sorry I just saw that it's written in french. It says in red "This item is currently not available to ship to your shipping destination."

French girl living in sweden soon

Hi everyone!

I'll soon be moving to Sweden in September as a visitor. I'm a French girl, 23 years old, who will be living with a host family made up of a single dad and his 6-year-old child. I'll only be staying for one year, but this will be my very first experience living abroad, on my own, and with people I don't really know yet.
I'm gonna leave near a city named Nora. It seems lovely btw

I also wanted to say that I know almost nothing about Sweden—literally nothing! I know it's a country with beautiful nature and lakes, and that it has a very high quality of life (great working conditions, a strong focus on children's education, respect for the environment, etc.).

Everything seems so different from France, and I'm honestly a bit nervous because I've heard that social norms are very important there, and that people take rules quite seriously—whether it's communication, handling conflicts, respecting personal space, being polite, and so on.

So, I wanted to ask: what are the biggest mistakes I should be careful not to make as a French person living in Sweden, especially when interacting with people? Are there things that are considered rude or impolite that I should know about? Any advice on conversations, social etiquette, or everyday behavior would be really appreciated.

In France, we're not necessarily loud like Americans are often stereotyped to be, but we're generally not afraid of conflict. If we think we're right, we usually don't hesitate to say so, even if it makes the situation uncomfortable—especially at work. I think we're also quite direct and honest, and we probably have a slightly different sense of personal space. We can come across as rude sometimes... and, to be honest, some French people even enjoy a bit of playful sarcasm.

I'd love to hear about the biggest cultural differences I should expect and any tips you have for fitting in. Thanks in advance!

Also, if you guys have extra tips for things to shop before I leave. It can be things like special medicine for winter, special clothes for the cold, or others things I didn't think about it because It's not used in France. It would great !

Thank you 🌲

kickboxing à Nantes

Hello !
Quelqu'un aurait des pistes pour un sport de combat à Nantes type kickboxing.
Honnêtement je n'y connais rien en sport de combat, j'aimerais bien tester le kickboxing parce que ça à l'air pas mal niveau mobilité et j'aimerais bien apprendre des gestes de combat un peu stylé.
Un club women friendly, pas rempli que de mâle en puissance, plutôt en collectif mais pas trop de monde, avec des cours cet été ce serait super, et situé centre, sud ou est loire.
Voilà merci pour vos retour ! ❤️

Club de lecture Book club Fantasy

Hello !
Est ce que quelqu'un aurait des pistes pour trouver un club de lecture à Nantes (centre, sud loire, ou côté est). Je lis plutôt de la fantasy, fantastique, voir SF. Mais majoritairement de la fantasy. Et j'aimerais bien pouvoir en parler avec d'autres personnes, de préférence des personnes plutôt proche de mon âge (20-30 ans). Je ne lis pas en anglais et je ne suis pas du genre performative, à essayer de lire le plus de livres possible. Donc je cherche un truc chill, vraiment dans le but de rencontrer d'autres personnes.
Merci de votre aide, bonne journée ❤️
