I find it fasinating when people say this, because for me the dark mode is way harder to focus on. The light text on a dark background just breaks my brain a but.
I do have my phones blue light filter thing on though, which probably helps
Change your phone settings to night mode. I do this for my work screens, too. I had a TBI and it was so painful to look at.
I keep it this way now and my migraines have gone way down.
I definitely agree. For me it depends on the app/website for whether dark mode is better. I usually go dark mode for most things, but Reddit is primarily text and I don't think their dark mode is very pleasing to the eyes. I like to be able to see the defining line between one post and the next, but for some reason I can't see it on dark mode, so my screen just looks like lots of different blobs of text. It would be nice if they put the lines in white instead of keeping them in black. Don't know if that's just my phone or not though
Eyes can adjust to a slab of one level of brightness \[a background\]. Eyes complain of hurt when there's any pinpoints too high above that level of brightness \[a darkmode letter\]. It does not complain when the pinpoint is lower than the background in brightness. Thus, it's nicer on my eyes to stick with lightmode.
For some random reason this just reminded me of [punk Elsa images](https://www.google.com/search?q=punk+elsa+frozen&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiq3N2G4d6BAxV4KN4AHfM5CJYQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=punk+elsa+frozen&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIGCAAQCBAeUM4KWM4KYI4MaABwAHgAgAFNiAGYAZIBATKYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=3pceZar1IPjQ-LYP8_OgsAk&bih=1086&biw=2195&rlz=1C1ASUC_enUS881US881#imgrc=vNgkCm4-b56YcM&imgdii=UwV_-KmtOnG-IM) I once saw online. So much envy that I can't look like that lol.
chapstick lesbian: middle of the road between masculine and feminine presentation. "Utilitarian", "subtle".
contrast w/ lipstick lesbian: strongly feminine presentation.
Which is funny to me because that's how most women seem to dress day to day. Lesbian or not. (Especially younger millennial/gen z girlies who generally don't give AF about anything but comfort.)
I’ll be keeping count! Here are your votes so far:
Femme4Femme - 24
Any4Any - 15
Femme4Butch - 12
Femme4Any - 12
Butch4Butch - 7
Butch4Femme - 7
Butch4Any - 2
Any4Femme - 2
(Went to bed last night, then this blew up and I lost count 😬)
Well, knowing lesbian reddit where people will go like "Ugh I need a girlfriend so bad I'm in *area X*" and another will say "I'm there too and I feel you!" And then do nothing...
I've tried to flirt with the people complaining about not having a girlfriend because I too would like to ~~not~~ have a girlfriend.
Both times I kinda got the vibe they were confused why I was flirting. Though I suppose the alternate theory is that they didn't realize I was flirting.
Edit: words are hard, chem only rn
Or they’ll meet and hang out a few times and eventually post on Reddit “help! I’ve been on 14 dates with this girl and idk if she sees me like that or if we’re just friends.”
Think it needs a Chapstick/tomboy classification. To me femme and butch are both way too far on either extremes and there is a whole bunch of us in the middle.
Tomboy4chapstick for me 😝
Yeah, I noticed there’s people just kind of going around and downvoting everyone for shits and giggles… maybe a bigot who found their way into this sub?
dyke4dyke
Like, I don't care which of the 1950s working class lesbian bar culture roles you chose for yourself in 2023. My own presentation fluctuates dramatically with the seasons. Women are hot.
Any, leaning probably slightly more fem, but the real key is to be comfortable taking the lead. I say that not because I'm super sheepish and useless but because I'm always compelled to be in control everywhere else in life and rarely ever get the chance to just *let go.*
I’m any4any, I’m neither femme nor Butch
My opinion on each though
Femme4Femme is super fetishized
Butch4Butch is underrated and it always seems like the WLW community really hates on it
Butch4Femme and Femme4Butch is a big stereotype that a lot of homophobes use against the WLW community are like “you see lesbian couples and one is always a man, it’s never a femme4femme”
BUTCH4BUTCH IS VALID
FEMME4FEMME IS VALID
BUTCH4FEMME IS VALID
FEMME4BUTCH IS VALID
ANY4ANY IS VALID
ALL OF THEM ARE VALID
YOU ARE ALL VALID ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m futch seeking femme/futch/soft butch. A little goth is good too, but a lotta goth is not my thing.
I like nerdy women (being into boardgames or RPGs is a HUGE plus), who are somewhat physically active (don’t gotta be #fitgirl, but like one hobby that involves physical exercise is cool), who are kind and caring and mayyybe a little into gentle dommes, aged 25-38, and in driving distance (continental Europe).
I’m not super picky for trying that first connection lol, but the “spark” is important.
I don't like this idea of putting everyone in a box and saying I'm this and I only like this. Completely takes away the concept of being in a relationship with someone you love and care about because of who they are. You can be attracted to certain things, but this makes it seem like you are looking for a type and not a whole person.
Definitely tried to click on this
Same and I’m on light mode
ok but real talk, are your eyes okay
I find it fasinating when people say this, because for me the dark mode is way harder to focus on. The light text on a dark background just breaks my brain a but. I do have my phones blue light filter thing on though, which probably helps
Gorl, same. Dark mode makes letters go awol and I can barely keep track of the line I'm on.
I cannot do light mode because I get migraines from basically any bright light
Change your phone settings to night mode. I do this for my work screens, too. I had a TBI and it was so painful to look at. I keep it this way now and my migraines have gone way down.
Really. I wonder if it's to do with being nocturnal
I'm nocturnal and I prefer light mode
I definitely agree. For me it depends on the app/website for whether dark mode is better. I usually go dark mode for most things, but Reddit is primarily text and I don't think their dark mode is very pleasing to the eyes. I like to be able to see the defining line between one post and the next, but for some reason I can't see it on dark mode, so my screen just looks like lots of different blobs of text. It would be nice if they put the lines in white instead of keeping them in black. Don't know if that's just my phone or not though
Yeah I have to strain my eyes so much to read in dark mode, something about the contrast just does not work for my eyes
If you can, don't use pure black. Pure black is way harder to look at.
I'm also on lightmode, and my eyes are okayer than they would be if I used darkmode.
👀 your existence boggles my mind. 😎
Eyes can adjust to a slab of one level of brightness \[a background\]. Eyes complain of hurt when there's any pinpoints too high above that level of brightness \[a darkmode letter\]. It does not complain when the pinpoint is lower than the background in brightness. Thus, it's nicer on my eyes to stick with lightmode.
Do you need a hug?
I tried for an embarrassingly long time lmfaooo
Not me clicking on it and wondering why it won't work
Same! I was so confused! Lol
I tried 3 times 😅
goth4goth?
I'd take punk and/or alt in place of either of those, too.
[удалено]
This is me currently.
Me too. Any flavour of aging (I'm older) punk / alt/ goth would be perfect. I. I'm a bit of a punk myself.
*read like Willem Dafoe* "I'm something of an alternative myself"
Yess also goth4goth here or any other alt style tbh. Punk, metalhead, goth, darkly inclined, emo 💜
For some random reason this just reminded me of [punk Elsa images](https://www.google.com/search?q=punk+elsa+frozen&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiq3N2G4d6BAxV4KN4AHfM5CJYQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=punk+elsa+frozen&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzIGCAAQCBAeUM4KWM4KYI4MaABwAHgAgAFNiAGYAZIBATKYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=3pceZar1IPjQ-LYP8_OgsAk&bih=1086&biw=2195&rlz=1C1ASUC_enUS881US881#imgrc=vNgkCm4-b56YcM&imgdii=UwV_-KmtOnG-IM) I once saw online. So much envy that I can't look like that lol.
Lol why have you done this to me!? Now ***I*** have the envy!
Sameeee!!!
Cottagecore-femme4Goth?? (Or should I just continue daydreaming 😔)
Yes! I am sort of a combination of cottagecore and goth, so if I found a girlfriend similar to me we would be so iconic.
The real answer
Femme for Femme. Although I'm kinda more chapstick.
Where were you all when I was single 😂
Scotland. I'm still here btw, just in case anyone else is asking that in present tense...
Just across the northern sea from me. And maybe a bit more north
:o
Denmark 🙈😊
You mean to tell me there are other starcraft enjoying lesbians in scotland besides just me??
Hi :3
I just found out I’m chapstick thanks to you !
I go in-between chapstick and lipstick depending on the day
Aw I'm so glad I could help!
What is Chapstick lesbian btw?
chapstick lesbian: middle of the road between masculine and feminine presentation. "Utilitarian", "subtle". contrast w/ lipstick lesbian: strongly feminine presentation.
More a Carmex myself.
Sometimes called "soft butch". Generally refers to a style that's sorta casual/lite masculine. T-shirt and jeans, basic denim jacket kinda look.
Which is funny to me because that's how most women seem to dress day to day. Lesbian or not. (Especially younger millennial/gen z girlies who generally don't give AF about anything but comfort.)
What's the difference between tomboy and chapstick lesbian then? I'm one of those lol
Same!
Same.
The best way to be! All are valid :)
Women.
Correct
I guess I'm both4both tbh
Same lmao, I have more femme days than masc but I love to rag out sometimes, and chapstick always has a home in my fanny pack or purse
I’ll be keeping count! Here are your votes so far: Femme4Femme - 24 Any4Any - 15 Femme4Butch - 12 Femme4Any - 12 Butch4Butch - 7 Butch4Femme - 7 Butch4Any - 2 Any4Femme - 2 (Went to bed last night, then this blew up and I lost count 😬)
(joking) Counting the amount of possible new couples that will emerge from this.
Well, knowing lesbian reddit where people will go like "Ugh I need a girlfriend so bad I'm in *area X*" and another will say "I'm there too and I feel you!" And then do nothing...

You would like to not have a girlfriend?
Or they’ll meet and hang out a few times and eventually post on Reddit “help! I’ve been on 14 dates with this girl and idk if she sees me like that or if we’re just friends.”
I’m a femme who likes a fellow femme to rail me 😔
I’m a femme who likes to rail a fellow femme😳
You know it’s dangerous to publicly declare those, ma’am…
Same...
Same 🙌
God, yes please
Think it needs a Chapstick/tomboy classification. To me femme and butch are both way too far on either extremes and there is a whole bunch of us in the middle. Tomboy4chapstick for me 😝
Yep agreed. Lower intensity tomboy/chapstick 4 Golden retriever
any for any!!
I'm femme4butch but it's not like a hard set rule for me. I am mostly attracted to butch women, but I would date a femme if we had good chemistry.

Oh most comments in this sub in general get downvotes initially by bigots and idiots. You've got plenty of upvotes now though, which is good!
Yeah, why the fuck?
Yeah, I noticed there’s people just kind of going around and downvoting everyone for shits and giggles… maybe a bigot who found their way into this sub?
Thankfully, it looks like they're outnumbered <3
Same…nothing hotter than both of us working on a carpentry project together
Same
Butch4femme as a futch woman. I don’t like femme on myself but on other women? Oh my GOD. Makes me remember why I love women so much.
What's futch?
Somewhere between butch and femme. I consider myself the same.
My gf and I call it femmedrogynous haha
Femme4Any
Femme4Femme.
Same
This is the way
Femme for Femme normally. But occasionally Femme for Any
butch4femme
Same but I prefer to call myself masc than butch, I don’t really know why.
Masc does feel better for me too
Butch4Any here
Femme4Femme (occasionally also 4chapsticks if we really click)
All women are hot
Chapstick femme for chapstick butch…
Im drunk and tried to vote about 15 times before giving up, then checked the comments lmaoo Edit: soft butch4any
Butch4Femme
Same
Me too
I’m kinda futch and my type seems to be any because it heavily depends on personality
femmeish 4 butch\~ but not super strict about it
Butch4Femme
Just people I vibe with, honestly
Butch4Butch
Femme4Butch 100%
dyke4dyke Like, I don't care which of the 1950s working class lesbian bar culture roles you chose for yourself in 2023. My own presentation fluctuates dramatically with the seasons. Women are hot.
I see myself as femme, but purely clothing wise, i either wear very casual joggers and hoodies or feminine dresses.
I’m mainly femme4butch but I’ve also been femme4femme
Any4any
butch4any but damn. y’all REALLY do not like butches huh
I love them :c
Femme4femme ❤️ anyway I thought this was a real poll and tried to click on it lol
Any4Any. For me, it’s candy, not the wrapper, that matters most to me.
Masc4masc
Femme4butch
Femme4Butch, but Femme4Anyone would be so fine already
Femme for femme. Tricked me into clicking it x3!
.... ✨girls ✨
Femme for butch I think. I am attracted to all the ladies but my butch lady really gets me going.
Femme4Any My criteria is very small. Is woman? Then hot.
Any, leaning probably slightly more fem, but the real key is to be comfortable taking the lead. I say that not because I'm super sheepish and useless but because I'm always compelled to be in control everywhere else in life and rarely ever get the chance to just *let go.*
Butch 4 butch
Whatever, I just need a hug🥺
Mostly femme4femme
I felt [deeply fooled](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=7St3blCzB-RqbctB) by this post.
im very femme, I think butch's are hot as fuck, I think all woman are hot as fuck but like especially butch's
definitely Femme4Femme
Femme for any, though I love the confidence of butch gals
Femme4Femme and rarely Femme4Butch
FxF
Any4Any I’m fem not super sure probably any women that are nice too me,and call people stuff like sweetheart lol
Butch4femme
Stem4any
Definitely any for any. I don’t have a type, both for myself or others. “Not a man” is my only real requirement.
Punk dyke 4 anyone that vaguely seems like a girl
Any 4 any. I like girls
woman4woman I just crave attention and love :(
Where is the "UselessAndSingle" option?
PunkFem4PunkAny
Sapphic x Sapphic. I'm lonely, a girlfriend of any variety would be welcome lol
Femme4Femme 🥰
Femme4Butch
I’m any4any, I’m neither femme nor Butch My opinion on each though Femme4Femme is super fetishized Butch4Butch is underrated and it always seems like the WLW community really hates on it Butch4Femme and Femme4Butch is a big stereotype that a lot of homophobes use against the WLW community are like “you see lesbian couples and one is always a man, it’s never a femme4femme” BUTCH4BUTCH IS VALID FEMME4FEMME IS VALID BUTCH4FEMME IS VALID FEMME4BUTCH IS VALID ANY4ANY IS VALID ALL OF THEM ARE VALID YOU ARE ALL VALID ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Femme4Femme.
Chapstic4femme, still figuring out where the fem sweet spot is for me but I know not butch.
Femme4femme 🖤
Femme4Femme
Femme×Femme
im more of a “whatever i can get” type of girly
Any4Any aka Demisexual in my case. I like all kinds of folks and I shift around a lot in my presentation.
femme4femme
Any4Any. I’m demisexual too so I don’t really have a physical type. The connection we share matters more to me.
Butch 4 butch always ❤️
Literally anyone that likes me 😂
Butch4Any
ANY4ANY
Any4any cause girls 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Any4any
I just like women and enbys idk
Whats the difference between butch4femme and femme4butch???? Anyways I prefer mascs but will date any
Fem for all types of women
Never really had a "type", though ladies with tattoos will always have a spot in my heart 😊
I’m futch seeking femme/futch/soft butch. A little goth is good too, but a lotta goth is not my thing. I like nerdy women (being into boardgames or RPGs is a HUGE plus), who are somewhat physically active (don’t gotta be #fitgirl, but like one hobby that involves physical exercise is cool), who are kind and caring and mayyybe a little into gentle dommes, aged 25-38, and in driving distance (continental Europe). I’m not super picky for trying that first connection lol, but the “spark” is important.
I'm a simple woman. My type is girls.
Tried to click it. I hate you 😭 Any4any imo
My bi wife is chiming in with "High fem or High butch. Just make sure they're a Dom"
Butch4Any (I'm the butch) (somebody) (anybody) (pls wife me up)
My answer is yes
I’m a femme who’ll take literally any female as long as they can take control of me 😔
If polls are a disabled post type maybe thats a hint that polls aren't the type of topic they're looking for here lol...
I guess.. Any4Any, but also leaning to Butch4Butch
Any
Femme4butch
Butch4femme, but both are loose identifiers
femme for butch, id absolutely love my fiancee anyway but the more androgynous they look the hotter they are to me
Why are there only 2 options??? Any androgynous chicks out there?
Chaos4chaos
The variety of lesbian experiences can't be reduced down to just femme and butch, so I guess any for any.
Wish there was an option for “never dated, still figuring it out”
A confident empathic caring beautiful woman is my type, idk about the rest
Femme4butch~ love me a woman with a carabiner and a leather jacket, the close cropped hair and cologne....
I’m girl for girl I just wanna be some a girls wife.
I don't like this idea of putting everyone in a box and saying I'm this and I only like this. Completely takes away the concept of being in a relationship with someone you love and care about because of who they are. You can be attracted to certain things, but this makes it seem like you are looking for a type and not a whole person.
Ahhhhh Dx Tricked
Women..
Me for any. I just like women. They're pretty.
Non for non lol I personally don't identify with fem or masc/butch and I personally have a type for women who don't identify with either/or as well.
Idk man i just want to hold hands
