Navigating The Dating World As Queer Women In India
by The Daily Eye Team June 22 2017, 1:42 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 51 secsHow do lesbian, queer or bisexual women find partners? Are you one the many queer women who struggle to find a date or a relationship even in this age of internet? How do lesbian and bisexual women navigate various offline and online dating spaces? As a queer woman, I have had my various shares of problems in finding a date. There are hardly any lesbian/bisexual women offline dating spaces in cities like Delhi where every week there is more than one ‘gay’ party. Even on dating sites, it is difficult to find another feminine lesbian woman if it is not visibly mentioned in their profiles. The lack of online and offline spaces to find romance is an important issue that lesbian women face everywhere. On my dating profiles, I clearly mention that I am queer and interested in only transmen and other female assigned at birth people. However, my inbox in dating sites is filled with friendship requests from cis and straight men.
