Hi everyone! 😊
I'm a PhD researcher at James Cook University in Australia and I'm looking for lesbian women aged 18 years and over to take part in an anonymous online study exploring attraction, dating preferences, and how people evaluate potential romantic partners.
This study forms part of a broader research program examining whether theories of attraction, many of which were originally developed using predominantly heterosexual participants, also apply to LGBTQIA+ communities. The goal is to help build a more representative evidence base in this area.
The survey takes around 5–10 minutes to complete and involves viewing a series of fictional dating profiles before answering questions about attraction and relationship preferences.
Although the research is based in Australia, we're recruiting internationally, and I'd love to have lesbian women from Europe represented.
The study has received ethics approval from the James Cook University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Approval No. 25H-0225).

If you'd like to know more about the study before participating, please feel free to email me at kaitlyn.gregory@my.jcu.edu.au.
I'm also more than happy to answer any questions in the comments. Thank you so much for considering taking part!

Hi, just wanna ask for your opinions
I'm 17(M) from mandaluyong, I lost my virginity last year after I hooked up with another guy sa G app. I've tried bottoming and it was fun tapos naulit siya for like 4 more times and I've gotten a grip sa bottoming and parang gusto ko pa, but at the same time I'm getting quite anxious for some reason. I wanted to f*ck with people around my age pa but I can't find one or it's either they're also a bottom, should I stop na?
"Hi there LGBTQI+ friends in South Africa",
As you can see in the attached image, we are from Australia and conducting INTERNATIONAL research within the LGBTQI+ community.
We are having huge difficulties in international recruitment this year due to the political climate in several countries. Platforms are preventing the community seeing our information or when they do, they don't feel safe to participate in research a this time.
This important research is needed now more than ever, so if you can, please support us;

Hi everyone! I know this is too much to ask, but I'm looking for a fake boyfriend for my friend. Someone at work is harassing him, and he can't get away from it because they are co-workers. The guy even mentioned that he will only stop messaging him if he meets his boyfriend. My friend is pretty low-key and doesn't want to date anyone right now, so we think this is our only shot to make him stop.
P.S. The harasser holds a higher position than my friend, which is why he can't just confront him about it directly.
BTW, he's 23 M
Magandang araw people of the party. I, 16 gay male currently in SHS, feels unwanted and just generally undesirable pagdating sa romance department. Alam ko naman na I should focus on things more important, like my acads, hobbies, etc. BUT I just can't help but feel as though I am falling behind sa pag-ibig.
I have no recent serious relationships. Yung last crush ko ay Isang straight na guy na mga 10 yrs ko na gusto. I have recently come to terms na hindi niya tlga ako gusto and that's ok. (Ayun backstory)
Kakasimula lang ng school last month jun 16, and already may mga admirers na ang aking mga friends. Junior high school pala wala akong maging romantic escapade ganon, sanay na ako na single living lang all the time. Kaso ngayong senior high school na ako i feel like oh my god wala bang mangyayari sa buhay ko romantically?!??!
Maybe it's also because I'm gay kaya mahirap makapag hanap ng mga Kauri ko, Pero i have other gay friends din naman na meron na silang love life. (So PUTANGINA ko na naman)
Ako lang ba yung single dito?! Pangit ba ako, hindi ba ako kamahal mahal, i think na i have an average face naman hindi naman ako super pangit noh? Meron akong mga kakilala ampapangit nila pero at least may jowa sila right?!? (yes I)
On a serious note i seriously feel like parang i'm falling behind when it comes to love and hindi ko mapigilan yung pagyeyearn ko for a romantic relationship. It hits me really hard Pag makikita ko kilig moments ng mga friends ko kasi ako hindi ko pa yun experience. Napapatahimik na lang talaga ako sa Isang tabi pag nangyayari iyon i feel like sobrang lonely pag ganun.
A genuinely feel like i'm unlovable, na pangit ako, hindi ako ka-gusto-gusto. I'm very easy to talk to naman madali lang akong I approach, madali akong kausapin, madali lang naman akong makasama. Matalino naman ako. I graduated top six sa buong batch namin nung JHS. Hindi naman ako sobrang samang tao, i keep thinking to myself na maybe there's something na hindi ko nakikita na nakikita ng ibang tao sa sarili ko.
Hindi naman sobrang taas ng standards ko bakit ganto ang lyf.
Comment down below kung may advice kayo kasi hashtag lonely itong batang ito.
Ako lang ba ? Minsan pinag uusapan namin ng kaibigan ko na kadiri as a femme gay having affair with another femme gay. Pero deep inside guilty Ako pero sinasabayan ko nalang Siya.
Attracted Ako sometimes, I mean Ang femme gay sa akin , yung gay na mahinhin , Hindi nagcrocrossdress Kasi mga sissy ko Yan sila. Yung parang performative. Yung di baddie personality. Yung who listens and golden retriever. Lalo na Yung parang artehin like rich kid datingan. Parang sarap turuan maging kanal hehe
If you have some time, I would greatly appreciate your help with my Master's thesis by completing this survey: https://forms.gle/y73SCHAMn7otrAJd9
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide more details here, as my post is being flagged. However, you can find all the necessary information about the study in the informed consent form.
Thank you!
hi im 23 f and my bfs 24 we’re looking for a female who’s willing to be a uni for us as we explore new stuff 👀 hit me up if ure interested (manila area)
I don't know if I'm gay or bi. But aside I'm attracted to a man, I recentky feel that I'm also attracted to transwomen. I enjoyed watching them on Phub and they tease me, like I want to try it too. Someone messaged me on the trans thread, like I'm tempted to try it hahaha
I also enjoy watching straight porn. It makes me think about what to do hehehe
What do you think, I'm confused.
Context: my bi friend is 27 yrs old, his bf (aunt's nephew 28 yrs old), aunt (50 yrs old) at biyuda.
During college days nila, nakasama ko sila sa buong sem. They are college sweethearts tapos ang bi friend ko is a gymrat tapos ang bf niya di ko ganon ka close dati but he had a great face card. Discreet couple sila dati and palagi akong third wheel.
Tumagal sila ng mga 10 yrs and they split last May 5, 2026. Before the splitting my bi friend opened up na mas mahal niya na ang tita ng bf niya. At first devastated sya kasi nag invest sya ng time, ng effort to support his body goals, and madami ang clouding sa isip niya. I symphatize with the bf kahit papano masakit din sa feeling na ang guy you want is mapunta sa iba and ang masakit relative pa niya. So I tell him to go abroad muna for at least a month to unwind.
He returned last April after a six month stay sa tito niya sa Canada and he somehow moved on. We talked pagdating niya and I told him na if buo na decision niya, he needs to let go. Pag uwi niya sa bahay ng tita niya he saw that his bf (ung bi friend ko) at tita nya ay nagyayakapan while dancing to a music. Nag usap sila ng tita niya at nagpabilin nalang na ingatan niya ang jowa nito dahil sya ang pinili. They decided to split that day and left.
Nitong June 30, both were married in a church and ang pamangkin ni tita attended the wedding. Medyo ma miss niya ang katawan ng bi friend ko but ganon talaga ang buhay. Minsan may part na sad ang buhay ng isang lgbt member.
Call me Lorenzo, 27 M, a gayman
Kaninang umaga, habang nagda-drive ako mag-isa, I caught myself asking a question I’ve been avoiding for a while.
Hanggang kailan ba okay maghintay sa taong hindi naman ako pinipili?
Ang funny kasi when you care deeply, ang dali mong i-justify lahat. “Busy lang siya.” “Maybe hindi pa right timing.” “Baka one day…”
Takot ako kasi baka before you know it, ikaw na lang pala ang kumakapit sa possibility.
Me (52) and Boyfriend(57) -soon to be husband- planning on retiring in PH in 5 years. I’m Filipino/white, he’s British. Planning on buying property in Tagaytay. Want to retire earlier and enjoy life before we get too old. Just want insight on (gay) life. Last time I was home was 1984 😅. Any expats or locals want to fill us in. Maybe start some friendships before we move.

Hi! I am Nami, looking for fun around QC or Metro Manila only. I can host hehe
i'm bi, but it's not something I bring up unless it comes up naturally.
i play basketball, hit the gym, play online games, and go on random late night drives when I need to clear my head. my life's pretty normal.
the funny part is I'll be chilling with people and they'll start making jokes or assumptions. I'm just sitting there like...damn, if y'all only knew.
one time after basketball, this dude said, "I don't like going to that club, it's full of gays bro." I just laughed and kept it moving. but yk, moments like that remind me how people think they know you without actually knowing you(if that makes sense lmao). para sa akin kasi, being bi isn't my whole personality. it's just one part of who I am.
anybody else here ever feel like they're hiding in plain sight?
