I live in Germany and it is a very tolerant country. All big cities in Germany are lesbian-friendly. Same goes for smaller cities and most of the rural areas but the problem is you might be the only lesbian couple there.

However, you would be surprised but lesbian scene here is practically non-existent. Back in the days I used to live in Madrid and Barcelona and I loved it! I found it easier to meet lesbians there because people are a lot more outgoing and lesbian life seemed way more dynamic to me.

PS. I just read the comments and It's funny that my opinion about Spain is exactly the opposite from LesChameleon :)

Really, I thought place like Berlin or Cologne had great lesbian scene? Anyway, I wish I could live in Spain. Women there are my ideal, especially the accent. But bad economy.

Well.. if max. 2 parties in 3 months in pre-covid times can be considered a great lesbian scene, then yes 😀 Lesbian bars don't exist here either

Yeah, well, at least there are lots lesbians right? And not queer ideology?Is that true what they say about german being direct? How is that? Too cold? Too rude? Maybe I like blunt introverted behaviour, I'm more like that.

Oh yes, there are many lesbian women here, so that is deffinitely a plus. As for queer ideology, it does exist here too but it's not as crazy and hostile towards lesbians as it is in the US & Canada. Nobody is going to call you TERF or transphobic for not willing to date trans women.

I would say Germans might appear cold and distant on the surface but most of them are actually warm, tolerant and helpful once you get to know them. There are many introverts here but also many loud and energetic extroverts. Besides, all big cities are full of expats, so overall the environment here is very multicultural, including gay community

Yeah, I definitely believe that queer ideology in USA is way worst than europe and also I would say less stereotypes about lesbians too. In general. I feel USA is way more extremist on this front.

USA went nuts when it comes to queer ideology. Sometimes the stories about TQ that I read here seem so ridiculous that I find it hard to believe these are true stories, but they are true. Luckily this absurd isn't happening in europe, at least not yet

[–]Elvira95 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

Yeah, that's pretty true. There is a real destruction of homosexuality in USA, especially female one, with all the gender ideology. Here in Europe clearly isn't like that, which I think also make finding someone easier. How can you find someone if everyone is queer, genderless and trans? lol Yeah, I was thinking about possibility of moving to the USA, but no, Iwould rather die than living in that mess. y mental health is way too bad to handle a country with shitty healthcare, guns and nut people and with fat epidemic lol

What mentality feels closer to you European or American?
