In Her Own Words
About her
I’m a lesbian feminist of the second-wave variety 🦖Academic, activist & writer, doing a PhD in Creative Writing. Bit of commercial management consulting too. I am fairly driven but also need downtime. I moved to Cornwall in September 2021 and love living by the sea. I’m a two-cat household 🐈🐈⬛. I guarantee myth, magic, and merriment. Druid & Jungian. Other esoteric interests. Also like the arts, culture, cinema, travel & having a good laugh. Sober & soulful! I like dining out but should probably rein that in a bit. Out as a lesbian since 1994.
About her ideal match
If you don't believe in magic, you will never find it! I'm looking for a curious, spiritual, down-to-earth dyke. Of course I'm interested in the things you like doing, your non-negotiables, and your daily grind. But I'm most interested in your life philosophy, what you've learned about relationships over the years, and what 'love' means to you. Who ARE you?
You've probably had a few scrapes in this brief pause between two great mysteries, but you keep growing and grinning. You've probably been out as a dyke for many years. You don't centre men in your feminism, but you're warm towards the good 'uns. You might have grown-up kids who live independently, but they're not a total nightmare; if they are, you don't enable it. You appreciate that relationships are made from third-level compatibility, fallible self-awareness, and conscious loving, not stardust and sex (though you like those things too). You're probably unconventional in some way, but not off the Rorschach chart!
I'm also open to making new female friends, though there's probably little point if you're not in Cornwall fairly frequently.
