Some might find it surprising to see a man writing about lesbian dating sites, but if you think about it - I would say I am uniquely qualified to be impartial on this subject, although I must admit, getting a hub guaranteed to annoy my evangelical religious friends in to the hot hubs section of the site is a tempting prospect.

I will say up-front that I have never used a dating site – lesbian or otherwise. In fact – I find the whole idea pretty entertaining and my natural cynicism leads me to believe that most of them are cons, will not provide what they say they do and will make heaps of money preying on lonely, unhappy people. The simple fact that the term, “lesbian dating sites,” is an extremely high paying google adword is enough to persuade me of that fact. Which may give you an inkling as to why this weeks hubmob revolves around lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues and another reason to write this hub.

I was a little shocked to discover just how many lesbian dating sites there are on the internet, and like many other subjects, most of them seem to be regurgitating the same rubbish as all the other ones. Another warning shot across the bows.

Personally – I have no problem with people being gay, transsexual or just about whatever else they choose to indulge in. As far as I am concerned, that is their business and it never ceases to amaze me just how many people – mostly right wing, reactionary religionists - feel they have a right to interfere with some one else’s personal choices. I really don’t care what you get up to in your spare time as long as it doesn’t interfere with me, and I do not see how some one’s personal sexual preferences can interfere with any one else. Sure, if I catch you making wild passionate love to my lawnmower in my back yard at two-o-clock in the morning, I am not going to be terribly impressed, but apart from that, knock yourself out. Anyway, back to the meat-free content of the matter.

This is a list of the five most popular lesbian dating sites on the ‘net.

1. LesbianPersonals.com offers services exclusively to gay and bisexual women and is owned and operated by AdultFriendFinder, which leads me to think it will attract ladies looking for a quick fling.
2. Pink Cupid is all about the money, as I suspected would be the case. You can sign up for free and chat anonymously to your heart’s content, but if you want to contact anyone whose profile appeals it is going to cost you.
3. GaydarGirls.com is part of a network of gay dating sites and as with all the others, is free to sign up for, but will cost you if you want to meet some one.
4. The Pink Sofa sells itself as a “lesbian community,” and costs money again to arrange a date.
5. Girls.PARSHIP.co.uk is part of a network of dating sites once again – although the emphasis seems to be on finding a permanent partner rather than a one night stand or chat.

I am not sure I see the point in any of these dating sites. Finding any impartial figures as to the chances of meeting some one also suggests a great big con. Realistically – what are the chances of logging into one of these places and finding some one within dating range? Exactly. For my money, the grocery store has always been as good a place as any to meet people, and I would think that applies to gay people as well as straight.
