just some friendly advice, you want to be careful when it comes to w|w dating online especially when you dont really know the person before you get together and if you aren’t out yet! (this applies to all sorts of relationships, but from my own experience the w|w have always been a lot more damaging mentally). i don’t have any apps for dating, i would just suggest getting yourself out there online (with a different sorta persona) and meeting people first. make sure you and your future partner are clear in what you both want, whether thats a hook up sort of thing, friends with benefits or a serious relationship!

Hinge or Bumble most likely. It has worked well for me but I'm a guy who likes men and women for context. I used those apps both before and after being out.

I'm a straight guy, but I'm genuinely interested in the reasons why you think women dating women is more detrimental?

IRL, I know a lot of gay guys, and bi- girls... but strangely, I hardly know of any lesbians, or bi-guys (at least any who are "out" or open about it).

Maybe I'm being naïve and (dare I say, ignorant), but I would have assumed same sex relationships are somewhat simpler than conventional heterosexual relationships; particularly as you don't have to navigate the whole "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" thingy.

i’m totally speaking from my own experiences here and from what i’ve heard from others! (obviously it rlly doesnt matter what gender you’re with, each can be just as harmful if they end in a certain way)! the problem with same sex relationships is when the two are not on the same page (from my own experiences, like one not being out yet whilst another is openly out and how that might affect your future as a couple together). also i’ve heard a lot that your first w|w will ruin you, which is not always true ofc!

Thanks for your answer... and what you say about the two being of different stages of "acceptance" makes sense.

Just remember though, there are good and bad apples of every age, race, sex & sexual orientation / gender identity demographic.

In my experience wlw relationships are more intense because women dont face as many social barriers as men when it comes to sharing emotions or being emotionally vulnerable. Being able to be emotionally intimate from the start, as opposed to needing to work up to it, has a really big difference on the dynamic of the relationship. Women also in general have deeper feelings towards things, which intensifies it further. Theres also something to be said about bonding over the same process of self acceptance with someone, and going through something that can be so difficult at the same time. It has so much nuance that you dont get with a conventional heterosexual relationship.
