Here you can see where people are actually checking each other out - the Metro, WNBA games, coffe shops. Also you know when a party gets hot cause there's always posts here afterwards!

I feel that I have no real understanding of what it's like to be a lesbian, particularly a new gay one. The gay and lesbian communities are so segregated in DC that even the sterotypes, which is all I have to rely on, seem poorly outlined. Posts like this intrigue me. <br/><br/>I never thought that lesbians might find the same kind of relational patterns on craigs list that the gays do. I've never thought about it. I'm particularly curious about the distinctions you made. Is there really something to be said about lesbian relational patterns in urban/rural settings, or is it more about the cultures unique to the two places you mentioned? Can the same be said for gays? Curious if you've thought about that. Wow. I love this. I feel that I have no real understanding of what it’s like to be a lesbian, particularly a new gay one.
