I'm guessing it hurts even more if those people are appropriating your chosen identifier in order to prey on others :-(

Big oof (as I'm told the kids say today)

High Potential series 1 only aired earlier this year. It's great, like 90s capaganda only new.

Or the safety is on ... or in my favourite gag related to this, in My Spy where all the bullets fall out of the bottom of the magazine when the trigger is pressed

Not OP, buuut ...

If the cylinder is out, or the slide / bolt is back, with no magazine, and a view of the chamber that clearly shows that it's not loaded then you're ok to treat it like a normal object - otherwise you could never clean or inspect a gun properly

All from column 2, I think.

I believe that a large chunk of biphobia comes from LG&T peoples experiences with this sort of thing.

Can confirm - late 40s here, still got my army trousers!

You don't have to apologise for the behaviour of others, I just wanted to provide context for why it happens!

Duly noted ... and yes, the community should stick together. But. When it comes to personal choices of who to engage with with a view to forming an intimate bond, then people have to be able to set their own parameters.

It's the reason the message gets put on profiles, rightly or wrongly ... sorry.

If you're serious then message them authentically anyway (maybe mention that you're single and serious about a real relationship), 95% won't care that you're bi and the remaining gold star lesbians are insufferable anyway ;-)

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

Yup to all that!

I'd add to that that if you do send a message that's well thought out and light hearted, and they send back something lazy and/or thoughtless, then don't bother replying.

I understand what you're saying, however as a lesbian the last time I tried dating online I had lots, and I mean SHITLOADS, of nice chats with women who, after a week of working up to ready for a RL date, then dumped on me that they're happily married and were looking for a side piece / unicorn / partner in cuckolding / you name it.

This was with a thorough profile that clearly stated that I was looking for a monogamous life partner who was a woman or somewhere on the fem to androgynous spectrum.

I also had lots of messages from men, even though my profile was set to receive messages from women only.

In 6 months of trying every day I'd managed one date that went badly. It was bad enough that I gave up on the idea and deleted my profile, and was on my own for a year ... then I met my now-wife while doing a sociable hobby. She's bi, and not weird about it.

Fuck online dating, and fuck any women who attach "bi" to their self descriptions who just want to treat lesbians like a sex toy. It's their fault we have to put that in our profiles.
