Okcupid Lesbian
Why online dating is good. It’s interesting how, with certain patterns, you can make a great online dating profile.I spoke with Whitney Perry, the founder of the Single Online Dating Guide, who shared a great analogy.If you are wearing a dress that has zippers up the side, you can show what the dress looks like in a different way to different people by zipping it up a bit. Many lesbians and bisexuals are interested in meeting via this site. OkCupid, one of the top lesbians’ sites, provides a range of identity and preferences that acknowledges the dynamism in gender roles of individuals. Women seeking women are welcome to register on this top dating website. While getting ready for my first OKCupid date, aka, the first date I’ve ever gone on with someone who I wasn’t a friend with first, that question came out of my mouth. And I was dead serious. People talk about how they know women are lesbians from their outfits, including footwear. With more than 22 gender and 13 sexual orientation identifier options, OkCupid is among the most inclusive free dating apps out there. Whether you’re bigender, transgender, questioning, or sapiosexual, you can find someone special on OkCupid. A unique aspect of OkCupid is its matching algorithm. During the registration process, not only will.
OkCupid was the first dating app to offer expanded gender and orientation options back in 2014. With 22 genders and 12 orientations to select from, we’re invested in making sure your profile reflects you.

Orientations (20)
Asexual - And other points on the Ace Spectrum
A person who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy, which is a choice, asexuality is a sexual orientation. Since asexuality is considered to be a spectrum we also have the following other orientations under the ace umbrella: Grayasexual (those who sometimes but not always experience sexual attraction), Demisexual (those who experience sexual attraction only after an emotional bond is formed), Reciprosexual (those who only experience sexual attraction when they know the other person is sexually attracted to them), Akiosexual (those whose sexual attraction to another fades if that attraction is reciprocated), and Aceflux (those whose sexual attraction varies over time). Please note that asexual people have the same emotional needs as everybody else and are just as capable of forming intimate relationships. Because of this, those identifying as ace will often separate their romantic and sexual orientations for clarity and say that they are heteroromantic asexuals, homoromantic asexuals, etc. Grayromantic, Demiromantic, Recipromantic, Akioromantic, and Aroflux are also among the romantic attractions experienced by asexual people.

Questioning
The questioning of one's gender, sexual identity, sexual orientation, or all three is a process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring, and concerned about applying a social label to themselves for various reasons. The letter “Q” is sometimes added to the end of the acronym LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender); the “Q” can refer to either queer or questioning. Many LGBT student groups and literature include questioning in their literature; in the case of gay–straight alliance groups they do so in part so students are not compelled to label themselves or choose a sexual identity.
— Wikipedia
Straight
Heterosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between persons of opposite sex or gender. As a sexual orientation, heterosexuality is “an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions” to persons of the opposite sex; it “also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions.”

Okcupid Lesbian Dating
Okcupid = The best kept lesbian secret
December 8, 2011
What was once viewed as taboo simply isn’t so anymore as we see more and more people flocking to online dating. Especially lesbians or any LGBT. However, if you could get one to admit to it, …well that’s another story. Actually I feel like I’m breaking a code just by writing about it. As you enter deeper into the lesbian world, you notice a few things and online dating is definitely one them. Of course this doesn’t prove true for everyone but pretty often. But hey, have some respect here. Finding other lesbians isn’t always easy, especially if not every lesbian or bisexual woman is easy to point out.
Whatever it is you’re attracted to, the internet provides you with a large pool of a variety of people. Whether you’re interested in girls who love Glee or a Kate Moenning look a like or a Miss America model or someone with a passion for helping the disadvantaged.
Common phrases used by a couples who have dated online. “ We met at a random public event or place” or “ we share a common friend who none of us speak to anymore”. Or the confused tacit agreeing nod before answering the dreaded question.
The reason for this post isn’t to out online users but to simply say there’s nothing wrong with it. The point of dating is fun so have fun! If you’re thinking about it and unsure, try it. Really…what have you got to lose?
