Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

In the past I've had various fake boyfriends. Most notable was when I was 16, a 28 year old had taken to hanging round with my friendship group 😱 I saw him on a night out and he creeped right over to me. I grabbed a lad I knew, shrieked "this is my boyfriend say hi!" Then passionately snogged the lad until the creep creeped off creepily.

I was around before mobiles so when asked for my number I'd switch two digits round. That way I could cover it as a mistake if needed.

I guess it wasn’t technically a lie, but my manager at the restaurant I worked at would “jokingly” ask me on a date at least once a shift we worked together, if not multiple times. Finally, I said yes, also jokingly, and to pick me up the next day. After he obviously didn’t, every time he would ask again I told him I gave him a chance and he stood me up. He stopped asking a little bit after that

That's a really clever way of doing it, jokingly waste his time so it goes away.
