“You’re
just a lesbian because you can’t find a boyfriend.”
Um, no. First of all, you know how easy it is to find a boyfriend?! Give me anything with internet connection and about six minutes. I’ll have multiple dates/hookups scheduled with NO problem. How? Because I’m a woman. If you’re a living, breathing, real-life, human woman, you can find a plethora of men who want to have sex with you right now. No shortage issues here.

You know what’s extraordinarily difficult? Finding a
GIRLfriend. Gay people are only 1/10 of the population. Half that number and
you’re left with queer women. Then half that number to get people who are on dating
apps. Then half that number to get semi-normal people who can hold a conversation. Then half that number to
eliminate people who use Snapchat filters on their dating profiles. (*shakes fist at
those damn animal face filters*) We haven’t even added specifications for types
or presentation yet. You see how tiny these numbers are getting?
While I could find a boy online within the hour, I find
myself CONSTANTLY running into this message on my dating apps:
Her
Tinder
In other words, not only are you single, but also, there are NO women around you
to date. Now, I’m definitely not saying that most men out there are
date-worthy, but at least I never ran out of straight men to swipe left on. Yeeeesh!
So, when people say, “You’re just a lesbian because you can’t
find a boyfriend,” I respond with:
Hello ChapstickFemme, I just found your blog and I am impressed. I definitely understand your feeling about finding someone to date. Specifically, someone who can talk full sentences. I was in a daring app around 8 months ago, and I was talking with a girl. I could not understand what she was writing. She was using so many acronyms I had to ask my friend to "translate" every time we talk. That was very annoying. Had that happened to you before?
ReplyDeleteThat has *definitely* happened to me. Generally, I've found that if I can't understand a woman's messages online, I probably won't feel much of a connection with her in person. However, if you think she could be cool and that you're just struggling with the form of communication, then you could always ask for an in-person date. Best of luck with the apps and thank you so much for reading!
