Queer cis woman looking for connections with other queer women here after having no luck on the more mainstream r4r subs, excited to find this place and excited to meet you!

I’m 32, live in North Carolina, absolutely open to long distance connections too though. Friends or dating or friends that might turn into dates are all good. Not great at Reddit messages so would appreciate if you’re comfortable texting/calling/WhatsApp/etc. Honestly someone who is on board with late night sometimes-tipsy phone calls would be great. No TERFs, racists, fatphobes, conservatives, etc., please. And please be somewhere closeish to my age I guess, not into big age gaps.

A bit about me -

I am a socially anxious extrovert with serious adhd who is mostly just trying to have a good time and form genuine human connections while also trying to leave the world slightly better than I found it in whatever way that’s possible.

I’m a dog person (my two dogs are my besties and I talk about them all the time) who inherited two cats a couple years ago, love those fuzzy little weirdos but still do not understand them most of the time!

I read a lot, anything from fluffy romcoms to serious nonfiction about history and politics. I’ve dabbled in writing, too, but the adhd has so far gotten the better of me and prevented me from finishing much.

I love to travel whenever I can, even lived abroad for a few years in my late teens/early 20s (in Germany), but now I’m back in my hometown.

I work as a union organizer and it’s very hard but also super rewarding and I love it.

I’m child free and have zero interest in ever being a parent, but still looking forward to when my niblings are a bit older (like, can walk and talk and use the toilet unassisted) and I can be the “cool aunt.”

I like making bad art but hate cooking because I feel like the result is never good enough or worth the effort - not sure why I can accept that in art but not in food, but it’s true.

Fat, body positive, not anticipating that will change so if you’re not okay with that feel free to move along.

I follow politics the way some people follow sports. Except a bad outcome has the potential for much more serious negative consequences than a sports team losing ever has.

I’m close with my family and also really value my long time close friends, but am not always great at opening up to new people - trying to be more open to that and less suspicious.

If any of that is intriguing to you, hit me up!
