I can’t say if I’m OFOS or not, simply because I was raised within the Maori culture where politeness, respect, consideration and loyalty are common place; even amongst family members.
Very often I’m told that I’m painfully polite….it’s a part of who I am. I’m proud to be well mannered and courteous regardless of what others think.

Where oh where is my OF/OS butch? They say chivalry isn't dead, they say old-fashioned isn't out of fashion, etc. but where is hy?
Never mind me and my whining. I'm struggling with broken heat, a broken toilet and not enough blankets. If I could find hym, at least I wouldn't be cold! |

*Struts in so you all can hear me coming... Oh can I get an "AMEN" here?! THANK YOU for sharing everyone! OFOS is SO misunderstood and mistaken out here in the pacific NW...the butches seem terrified of me or something...haven't they ever seen or been around a real lady with integrity, honesty and a femme who knows how to treat them like gold and drop them to their knees with one well placed touch? Good Lord...I'm about to lose faith and heart. However...I will NOT lose these vital 'ingredients' that make me who I am...a fierce sexy OFOS femme with high standards who knows what she wants and needs and will not settle for less. Maybe that means I'll be alone but that's ok...I'd rather be alone than settle for anything less than a gentlmyn butch! *Curtsies and exits stage left....

I love it when K gently kisses my hands and forehead and leads me gracefully to the table or door, etc, before doing the gentle(wo)manly thing of pulling out the chair or opening the door.
Yesterday, she escorted my to the Uni reception, wished me ‘Good luck’ and waited in the car with a book to read. Whilst helping me in and out of the car hy help my coat. It’s too early to say whether this is her Army training and the rank she held of Major, or if it’s how she was also raised….it’s fun discovering! LOL! Is this chivalry common place among veterans of the Military, or is it just a typical British Army thing?

*Fire hugs her Fierce-Femme-Sista as she exits.*
"Amen, Sister. I know you and Clay have heard this before, but I'm going to say my piece." *Fire confidently strides to the mic in her black strappy heels, with just the slights swish of her hips, and proclaims...* "Give me a Butch that knows how to kiss the back of my hand when we meet, and I'll give you one entranced Femme! Pull out my chair, and as I sit, I'll look over my shoulder and smile, just for you. Open my door, and I'll step out with enough grace to take your breath away. Place your hand in the small of my back, and I'll shudder with delight. My body will react to the smallest pressure, and we will walk together seamlessly. Offer me your arm, and I shall take it with pride, and walk just suggestively enough that everyone will look at us, and see how happy I am to be with you. Give me your respect, and I will give you mine, and everywhere we go, people will stare, and wish they were us." ~Fire. Quote:

Howdy everyone.. smiles and tips hat...
I haven't participated in this thread, but if it new life gets breathed into it, I would like to. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find truly like minded souls out here and I very much appreciate the thoughts/ ideals/ emotions I have read here. An old soul from an old school embracing today's world... I can't say how just knowing you all are out there living it too makes my load less burdensome and the road less lonely. Thank you all. |

How did I miss this thread?......oh yea work and SCHOOL LOL I am very much Old School and somewhat Old Fashioned in that I do believe in manners and respect. There is just something within me that makes me that way, its just natural and what makes me feel right. Its something that sometimes I feel has gotten lost through the years through cultural changes and our style of dynamic (Butch-femme) becoming less popular and more of the misunderstood sect. Have a great night all !!! |

So I have a question for ya'll.
As a Femme, I know OFOS when I see it. But I've been wondering how my counterparts recognize an OFOS Femme when you meet one? ~Fire. |

I have just about stopped using OFOS because it seems so misunderstood almost as if it is a bad thing...I dunno. So, there might be Femmes out there that don't id as OFOS, just as there are a number of Butchly sorts that don't like the term OFOS.

I almost had a little heart attack there! So, to clarify, have you almost stopped using the term, "OFOS", or have you almost stopped using the manners that OFOS refers to? ... Please, please tell me it's the first, and not the second option! |

Disclaimer: This is MY personal opinion, is NOT about anyone else just ME, MYSELF, and I!!! So don't mean any offense to anyone..a
My "OFOS" will never go away..it is ingrained into my soul and fabric and being.
I understand what OSB is saying...using those letters to describe oneself..well...sometimes is viewed in a negative way. BUT what I have inside of me..doesn't ever leave..it is as deeply a part of me as is my heart and my blood...it is vital to who I am..and it doesn't have to be visible for it to be present..and my OFOS femme does indeed "feel it", sense it, and reap that energy from me... For me, OFOS is not a part of the "good old days" or the 50's or about a woman being "less than" in MY world...it IS about being with manners, courtesies, respect, considerations, cavalierly manners, equality, voice,and many other things that will always be a part of my fabric and morals and has been part of me from my earliest days of being....just my .02. I do like to open doors, pull out chairs, walk with my arm in small of her back, help her don/doff her coat, and walk on outside of her with elbow cupped in my hand..among so many other things...this is just what is part of me...my personal stuff I own...so much more to share BUT I do have to be in bed now..and up early....have a greta night...
