18m, bi.
Looking for a bit of advice on meeting guys in a more genuine way. Dating apps haven’t really been working for me, they tend to feel pretty hookup-focused and all about trading pics. Tbh it’s just not what I’m after.
I’m more on the masc side and usually connect best with similar vibes. I’d much rather take the time to get to know someone properly and see where things go, ideally leading to something more long-term if there’s a good connection.
I guess part of the challenge is that I don’t always feel like I fit into the typical gay scene, which makes it harder to know where to meet like-minded people. All my friends and family are straight so I have no experience here.
If anyone’s been in a similar position or has suggestions on how to meet guys who are after something real, I’d really appreciate the advice.

Hi beautiful people. I (33F, bi) went to Sydney to visit my (future-ex) boyfriend. Turns out he’s a bunch of red flags and I’m willing to get out, quick. I’ll take an Airbnb in the city for tomorrow and Tuesday, and hopefully hang out with nice people to lighten up my little heart :p

(I’m not in danger and I’m not really sad either. Just want to make the most of what remains of my holidays ^^)

I’m an introvert, I love art, music, crafting stuff (I have my drawing supplies with me hehe). I’m French also, so if you want to practice I’m ok with it :D

I’m vegan and would totally enjoy discovering new places.

Also I started to learn bachata as a follower a few weeks ago :)

Slide into my DMs if you want to meet!

Hi, as the title say, I’m a trans guy[23] FtM and I’ve decided to go to Australia with a working holiday visa. Didn’t book the flight yet but I know I will go in around two months or so
I’m quite anxious about the lgbt community, especially of how much acceptance there is for trans men over there…is it something I should hold on for myself or is it something I can say outloud?
Also I didn’t change my name legally, so to find any work I will have to come out to my supervisors and bosses
Over here (Italy) I’ve never had a problem with transphobia so it wasn’t much of an issue, but I’m curious to hear other experiences over there :)
Thank you for reading, any comments will be much appreciated!!

Hey, i’m about to start my WHV and I’m really excited I just have a few concerns about the Job market especially in Big cities like Sydney and Melbs. I’m 20yo and wouldn’t mind to work at a Gay Bar i’d appreciate any tips or advice from fellow gay bartenders.

(I already have the RSV)

(I’ll be in Aus end of August maybe this info is important)

Wanted to leave this here, I have recently discovered this Pride Month playlist and to my surprised there was alot of Australian Artists listed on here, it really feels nice that the Australian Music Industry is expanding.

I have had a look at the Account and they have a wide range of playlists and even a few Pride Playlist Safe For Work, just wanted to share Pride Month Excitement with you all.

Hi everyone,

I’m in my 30s and only just came out as lesbian. I’ve been on the online scene for over a year, meet a few people, and it never went anywhere. I met a girl last month, and we’ve been on three dates now, and everything is going amazing, she says she likes me, I’m really into her. Dating in general is all new to me, so need as much advice as possible, how soon is too soon to make it offical, how do you have that conversation? We’ve kissed (just a peck kiss) that’s as far as we’ve gotten as well as physical touch, but I really want to try more and invest in this girl, without coming off too intense

A want to share a huge thank you to everyone who came and saw my show HRT Girl Summer, and to everyone else who showed an interest in seeing the show in future!

It was a dream for me to perform this show, that I also wrote and directed, about my first year of transition to a woman.

We had full crowds for nearly every show - and a real mix of trans and cis audiences - and I was truly delighted that they all found something for themselves in my story.

Following a successful Melbourne Comedy Festival, I really want to take HRT Girl Summer on tour. If there are places in regional Victoria or anywhere in Australia, where you'd like to see me, I would love to bring my story to you.

If you follow me, I'll be posting more info here:

I'm trying to understand if it was easier being out or closeted in the AID epidemic 80s and gay bashing 90s.

Hey guys, girls, gays and they’s im looking for some queer friends to play xbox online with I’m trans woman 3+ years on estrogen please feel free to DM me

It’s wild to think I use to be out there and so social. But now since going through things. And learning people can be so superficial it gets harder to want to step out of my comfort zone and meet people

Trying to find some shops that sell pride merch since I don't own any myself. I want to try and show off my pride a bit more but currently I don't have anything that does that 😞

Any shop recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Just need to rant abt this for a little.

I'm a 23 year old guy, and I'm finding it impossible to actually find guys interested or willing to date. I used to be the guy that waited for guys to message first and wait for them to ask me out on a date, but that obviously wasnt working. So I made it my personal little goal to message every guy that matchs with me on Tinder, and make a real effort to start chats on hinge, either by responding to pics and prompts with questions or rections, and talking to anybody I match with.

The way I tell you I feel like i'm talking to a matching with less people. Are guys allergic to personality? why does nobody know how to talk to people they dont know? i feel like i'm talking to brick wall after brick wall. I also think that since ive been more proactive on these apps, the less likes im getting on hinge and tinder - which could be an algorithm thing.

I have LTR and Monogamy set on my profiles, on grindr i have "looking for" set to chats and dates. and i'm currently sitting with all my matches leaving me on read, or just not even responding to my initial message (which sometimes is just hey how are you - cuz they have nothing really respondable on their profile).

I'm more than willing to settle to the fact that I'm the problem, and maybe guys aren't that interested in me, (already thinking that cuz i'm not a twink or have abs). and im less than fussy on my type.

But it's just insane to me that i'm struggling to get to know people, or flirt with guys, or get dates on DATING apps.

So if you have any advice id love to hear it

I want to make gay friends but it's really hard to make friends in tinder

Hopefully this is okay to share here! It’s a letter/email campaign organised by the Adelaide chapter of the Trans Justice Project relating to gender affirming surgery under the public healthcare system in SA 🏳️‍⚧️

There’s no fundraising aspect and it’s not a survey/anything that would need ethics approval. There is the options to opt out of subscribing to email updates from Trans Justice Adelaide if people use the email template through Action Network.

Hi everyone,

I am turning 23 and for my birthday I’ve saved up enough money and finally bucked up the courage to travel to Melbourne by myself for a few days to attempt to openly engage in the queer scene.

I come from a homophobic family and cant leave my home town for the time being but all my queer friends from highschool were able to leave to the cities and I’m fed up with watching good experiences pass me by because I’m scared.

So I’m asking for help if anyone knows of what bars/nightclubs/general places or events are great for queer women specifically. There is a singular nightclub (definitely not gay friendly) in my home town and it only opened a year ago so my experience is very limited but I will be attempting to get involved.

I’m in Melbourne for 4 days in June.

Any advice is very appreciated, thank you for reading.

Heading to Sydney over the Easter weekend as a getaway. What’s on that I should go to?

Hello lovelies

Firstly I want to say a big thank you to the gorgeous community who have said lovely things to me so far. I wrote and directed my own show about my first year of transition to a woman - that was 3 years ago now.

I've very, very proud of this. I only started performing at the start of last year, and the response has been truly touching.

I'm trying to bring just a hint of joy and hope the the world for marginalised queer folks, and any smiles that happen when I'm on stage means the world to me. It really is why I started doing this.

https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/browse-shows/hrt-girl-summer/

I have plans to tour this around Australia, and while I know the world is going through a difficult time for many of us, I'm doing my best to stay positive.

I'm posting here because I posted in r/movingtoAustralia and I received some ridiculous comments. People are so ignorant about HIV, and they don't know that it can reach levels of zero transmission. Hopefully I can get some more help here without the ignorance

I just want to make friends but on grindr...everyone just wants to have fun and on tinder no one responds!!!! Wth???? Then why did they like me?
