Would you date a woman?

Chatting to my friend tonight (who is gay and this is relevant to the thread)

She was saying that now she’s single again she thinks that things are a lot more open and more women are open to dating women even if they’re not ‘defining themselves’ as gay. I thought it was an interesting one. I’m in a hetero relationship and have never really thought about it, but have you? Would you?

No. Not my thing.

No,homosexuality is against the bible.
Please be joking 🙃

Unfortunately not in a meaningful ‘date’ type way but would be up for a sexual awakening experience (as a hetero female)

SimonJT · 27/12/2020 21:11

No, as it wouldn’t develop beyond friendship which isn’t fair for either party.

But theres absolutely nothing wrong with approaching someone in a coffee shop if its done respectfully. Brave though, I would need a boat load of dutch courage to ask anyone out.

yelyah22 · 27/12/2020 21:12

Yes, but I'm bi. Absolute anedata but I'd say a small majority of the outwardly-100%-hetero women I know are at least a tiny bit bicurious.

So is wearing linen wool mixed fabrics, a man sitting where a woman who was menstruating has sat, killing a burglar during the day, planting more than one seed type in a field, tearing your clothes (even by accident), eating fat and weirdly eating owls.

I would have sex with a woman but I don't think I'd be in a relationship with one. I am
Comfortable with the dynamics in a relationship with a man, but I definitely find women attractive.

LongPauseNoAnswer · 27/12/2020 21:13

Also cutting your hair is against the bible .... Hmm

Minimamame · 27/12/2020 21:14

Yes I would. I’m heterosexual but I have been attracted to women in the past.

Oysterbabe · 27/12/2020 21:15

Yes I would and know a few women who have dated women after their marriages ended.

DrizzleandDamp · 27/12/2020 21:16

No because they don’t physical attract me, I’m not even very good at being friends with women so far which is a shame!

I’d be hugely flattered to get hit on though, once did by a bi friend. Your friend is right in her approach, anyone getting offended by that is a dick!

AgeLikeWine · 27/12/2020 21:16

No.

Somewhat boringly and conventionally, I’m 100% straight.

MrsDiplo · 27/12/2020 21:16

No, because i dont find women attractive in a sexual way. I can say when a woman i beautiful but it does nothing for me.

Oooohbehave · 27/12/2020 21:16

No. I prefer the company of women but ultimately I love a bit of cock!

Ultimateblends · 27/12/2020 21:16

Absolutely would.

Quite honestly sick of men and wondering if im missing a trick having not tried a relationship with a woman.

katy1213 · 27/12/2020 21:17

No. Leaving sex out of it, women would drive me insane!

Do give over. Smile
An0n0n0n · 27/12/2020 21:17

I disagree that more women are 'open' to it, more if they were inclined to in the first place there is less likely to be the social fall out of years gone by.

Am i attracted to women? Yes. Would I date one? No. For no other reason than my sexuality only extends to being passingly sexually interested. The fact it is more accepted has no bearing on my base level of interest.

NameChange84 · 27/12/2020 21:18

Zero interest. Women do not invoke any sexual desire within me whatsoever. I couldn’t for a second imagine being comfortable with even the most basic intimacy like kissing or handholding with another female body...also life’s too short and it’s a man I want so I’d be completely wasting my time! I’m also not interested in pursuing anything with a man that a) isn’t completely straight, b) isn’t biologically male.

Ultimatecougar · 27/12/2020 21:18

No. I couldn't fancy a woman. I don't have a problem with asking men out though.

MajesticWhine · 27/12/2020 21:19

I am married to a man, but if I became unexpectedly single, yes I would consider dating a woman. Definitely a bit bicurious.

IdblowJonSnow · 27/12/2020 21:19

I wouldn't rule it out either.
Never been in a romantic relationship with a woman before.

ChristmasBubble · 27/12/2020 21:21

I'm bisexual so yes but I hope that a lot of heterosexual women aren't open to asking women out just to try it. Sounds like a recipe for a lot of heartache.

amy2021 · 27/12/2020 21:21

I've always been bi-curious and would consider a relationship with a woman if I was single. I do think the world has moved on massively in the last ten years in respect of being more sexually open in general and fluid in terms of just falling for a person rather than their genitals. I did grow up in Brighton though so probably more open minded than most!

LividLover · 27/12/2020 21:22

So not attracted to women in that sort of way.

I mean, I don’t even think I could snog Beyoncé, but I’d be sad about it because objectively she’s beautiful.

I’ve known several women in gay relationships in later life after being “straight”, but I think they always had an inkling that they could be at least bisexual.
