To be a lesbian?

I promise I’m not trying to be goady or offend and certainly not looking for an argument.

I’m a straight woman in my thirties and I’ve been single for some time, mainly because I have just lost all my respect and desire for men in general. I’ve worked with so many lovely wholesome family men who were the office letches, in a voluntary capacity I work with so many women, teens and children who have been victims of rape, domestic abuse, grooming, coercion, sexual abuse by men.
So much of the violence in the world is perpetrated by men, the hate.
The caring nice guys I do know are so weak willed they cheat given half the chance.

That’s just where I am emotionally and I’m expecting to be flamed.
I miss dating so much though and in my college years I had a few little “things” with women but always considered myself straight it open minded or maybe bi at a real stretch, though I find women much more beautiful than men.

Basically WIBU to dip my toe in the gay dating scene? Has anyone else been in the mindset I am and how has it worked for out you?

Again, I’m really sorry if I offend anyone!

Another one here who has fallen for both sexes, although I have been with DH since we were 18.
Before that I had a couple of flings with women (one a teenager, the other much older) and the only thing that’s stopped me since is the fact I’m married. They weren’t relationships, more FWBs and very short lived. But if I wasn’t married, or if we split, I wouldn’t guarantee my next partner would be a man.
I am attracted to attractive people, not just men or just women.
