Maybe a dumb, insensitive question?

[Loverskitten]

Hi. I consider myself straight, not even bi (although I do think women are beautiful and have had a crush on a few)
However, lately I feel let down, annoyed, sick, and frankly disgusted by men. I made the joke (I'm sure many make) about how I should just start dating women and a coworker said, "we've been waiting for that shoe to drop for a long time"
It kind of got me thinking.

Has anyone started dating or had relationships with the same sex because they were frustrated by the opposite sex? Did it last?

If you really consider yourself to be het, then a question begs to be asked: What are you doing in the gay part of the forum?

You are, of course free to start dating a woman, but try to consider her feelings in this. People generally don't like being experiments.

As for you being disgusted with men, I certainly understand that. Just keep in mind that sexual attraction is a bitch. You can't just transfer it to a person of your choice.

I've never known it to work for long, pussycat. The common story you hear is how a hetero woman will try out lesbianism, talk about how much better her new girlfriend is and what dumbasses men are, but then she finds a guy that really rings her bells and she leaves her girlfriend.

"Sorry, but I guess I really need a man."

Thing is, you aren't 100% straight, as I recall.

In answer to your first question, "Maybe a dumb, insensitive question?" No you're not being dumb or insensitive.

I tend to agree with Stella but if you really are hetero(I won't call you straight) why would you even be considering this?

I do know some women who claim to be lesbian but their only reason in being so is a true hatred for men. You don't qualify as a man hater, being annoyed, sick, and frankly disgusted by men is not hatred. Dare I say, most women are a times annoyed, sick and frankly disgusted with men.

If as Stella hinted "Thing is, you aren't 100% straight, as I recall." making you bi or bi-curious, you still have to decide am I emotionally able to have a loving long term relationship with another woman, only you can answer that but remember same sex relationships are not easier than opposite sex relationships, better in my opinion, easier no.

If it is something more than being sick of men. If your girl crushes were more than just a little tingle, very emotional and physical. If you had those long before you understood your physical needs. If you still have those, you may not be hetero at all. If you never have really connected with a man you may be lesbian, at least emotionally lesbian.

Please if you do decide you want to try a relationship with a lesbian, be honest, let her decide if she want to take the risk of "Sorry, but I guess I really need a man."

Your last question I don't know of any such relationships but I do have friends where one was bi and their relationship works.
