advice plz... lesbian vs. bi - 4/8/2008 10:56:06 AM

Status: offline 		Hi all! I'm new here, and would love a bit of advice on what I put down as my orientation on my profile. At the moment I have that I am a lesbian and am only seeking dominant/switch women or trans. This hasn't stopped several shall we say "reality challenged" male individuals from asking me to be their sub. So here's the quandry; in reality I'm bi, although 95% of the people I'm attracted to are women (and the other 5% tend to be either gay or Johnny Depp). Therefore what I'd like to put is that I am bi but am not seeking male tops at the moment. However I am worried that if I switch my orientation to bi I will have to deal with a significant increase in requests from men who might be even more reluctant to accept that I am not interested in playing with them. So what do you think? I might just go ahead and say I'm bi, and see what happens. Anyone else have the same problem?

Explain it in your profile and if you get more attention who cares... you might make a friend out of it.
I dont think it would be any different if you put down hetro and taken.

Put what you ARE. If you are Bi-sexual Then PUT BI if you are a Lesbian THEN PUT THAT. You will get wankers NO MATTER WHAT!!!! However if you are looking for someone specific then putting down that you are soing you are not could be construed as lying and that is NO way to start a relationship.

Learn the Block Ignore Buttons...... They will help you. Also set you Ignore perameters and use the Bluk Mail Feature.

Hope that helps.

Status: offline 		lol truthfully it won't matter what you put on your profile as most simply dont bother to read it anyway.  My own profile even says "now listed as lesbian due to the inability of male Doms to comprehend the english language" or something to that effect (haven't read it in awhile). 
 
Easiest way if you wish to not hear from males, set your email filter to send all emails from me to your bulk/junk folder and simply don't look in there. 
 
Good luck and welcome to the forums!

Status: offline 		Clearly and politely state you are not seeking males for a relationship, then fix it where all male senders go to your bulk mail. my Mate and i have this couple-profile, and i have my own profile. The above is what We did for my account, and i've had very pleasing results after a little time. hope this can help- just phoenix

If you aren't looking for a man and are overwhelmingly attracted to women I'd mark my profile as lesbian.

Status: offline 		Some people view it as sexual preference and you prefer women, however, I think lesbian is misleading if you think you are actually bi.  I don't think it should increase your wanker inbox, but I might be wrong.  Some lesbians don't want a bi partner and you might do better to eliminate them anyway by listing who you really are.  just my 2 cents.

That isn't going to change no matter what you put on your profile.  Sad but true. 
 
Best thing you can do is ignore the trolls/idiots and give your energy to the ones that deserve it.

Status: offline 		Hi there,

I went into detail about the choices associated with Homosexuality verses Lesbianism here yesterday:

Orientation Decisions

In short, if I were you, I'd list myself as a lesbian, add men to my bulk mail filter, and if I was interested in finding a man, I'd go looking for men who met my criteria.  I'd write them myself.

Women, when you use your inbox as your 'options' you become focused on people interested in you; they won't necessarily interest you.  Do the search work yourself, look for people who pique your interest, and the quality of your mail will significantly increase.  Lots more on this here:

Whether you state lesbian or bi you're always going to get hopeful enquiries from the males who can't read or just don't get it. My advice if you want to say you're bi, is to also put a note on your profile, at the top i find works best, stating clearly that you aren't looking for male attention.
You will still get mails from them.. Probably more than before.. But if you delete them without wasting your time with the reading.. i don't see what you have to loose.
