Being B/F and Under 30

Princess · 01-25-2013, 02:48 AM

Just thought this particular thread should be resurrected, there must be more of us out there under 30!

I'm afraid that's true... I don't know if the B/F community in Germany is different from the american one, but it seems like most of "us" are even over 40.
And not interested in a youngling (I'm 22).

This is an older threat but I still wanted to say HI to everybody. I just turned 29

I do think there are differences in our younger community and love that there's a thread for it.

I'm a 25 femme and happy to be here ^_^

This thread is old but I think its important for young b/f folks to band together since the dynamic is not nearly as present in our age group. In general, androgyny has taken hold as the new queer style and dichotomies regarding gender or sexuality are often criticized as restricting. Have other folks experienced this mindset? As a young butch or femme, how do you feel about it? To each their own, always, but for me I need polarity in a relationship and b/f is what I crave.

I think that rather depends on your local area.
Where I live, for example, genderqueer (meaning, all the masculine identities, not just butch)/femme is very common in the under 35 group.
When I go out to a genderqueer event, like Man Up (drag King night) it is jammed with people between 19-35. However, at 45, I look like someone's mom and am usually the oldest one there.

Seattle seems to be thronging with it too. London was fantastic.

But some places there just isn't. It was one of the main reasons I traveled so much when I was younger. Vancouver had Very, very few under 35, 15 years ago and I had to go afield to places it was common. But I've come home and now the under 35 scene of genderqueer/femme is pretty hopping. But not online. It's one of those things you have to go out for here. Vancouver queer doesn't tend to do much via the net.

So don't wilt yet

there are areas where it's rather common/popular.
