Lesbian Dating and Partner Search at Consonance (Gleichklang)
Note:
The word lesbian refers to homosexual women, that is, women who love and desire women. Accordingly, the substantive form speaks of lesbian or lesbians, or in the plural of lesbians. In the English-speaking world, the word gay is also used, with a gay woman being a lesbian. However, even in the German adaptation, the term gay tends to refer more to gay men, while homosexual women are usually referred to as lesbian or lesbians. In the past, the term gay women was sometimes used, but this term did not become established. The terms lesbian, lesbian, or lesbians are now recognized self-designations of lesbian emancipation. Associated with lesbian lifestyles are also the terms butches and femmes, or in the singular butch and femme, which refer to a mutual attraction between lesbians who appear distinctly masculine and distinctly feminine. However, these views and self-definitions have been subjected to feminist criticism and are by no longer to be regarded as universally accepted facts or terminology within the lesbian movement, although interest in these concepts has increased somewhat again in recent years. In any case, the concepts of butch and femme are to be regarded as a simplification that, on the one hand, covers only a small part of the lesbian scene and also overlooks the fact that a uniform and stable attribution is by no means possible or meaningful, since many lesbians do not feel addressed by these concepts and there are also a number of so-called switches. However, since some lesbians value these concepts and use them as a basis for partner selection, at Consonance it is possible to describe oneself as rather masculine, feminine, androgynous, or beyond such concepts, and at the same time to indicate to what extent the dream partner should be located within these concepts or not.
Studies show that lesbian relationships are often characterized by a particularly high degree of stability and also increased durability, both in comparison to heterosexual partnerships and – even more so – in comparison to gay male partnerships. Lesbians also place particular value on seriousness, authenticity, and seriousness in their partner search. This is the reason why lesbian members make up a large proportion at Consonance and are characterized by particularly high activity and commitment in their partner search.
If you are still looking for your dream partner, you will find her at Consonance.
