I feel like all of us are pretty similar in that sense, we’re smart, educated with good jobs (I’m working in organising helping hosting major events in convention center, since both of you mentioned your cool jobs) and we love good stories. I literally can’t imagine a man laying next to me instead of this website in evenings lol .

Wow gurl your job is damn cool af I want to join your events plz . I love how we love those smaller details of our lives though we don't even know each other's names and nations ....
Omg yes , I can't imagine either being with a man instead of this website. It's literally living hell to hide what I love just bc my husband or in-laws are homophobic and all .......

I’m actually pretty chill with where I’m at in life right now. Meanwhile, most of my friends are going through messy breakups—usually they cheated or got cheated on. And for some reason, they all come to me to vent. I guess because I’m quiet, a good listener, and don’t take sides. But honestly? It’s been kind of mentally draining.
One of my friends literally can’t function without a man. No hobbies, nothing—she dates just because she’s bored. I tried getting her into the genre I love, but it’s not her vibe. Still, I’m glad I found BLs. They make me way happier than all this relationship chaos ever could.

My parents never really cared much about our dating lives. They always taught us to stand on our own two feet and not to rely on a partner for everything. Because of that, all of us siblings turned out pretty independent—and funnily enough, all three of us are single. I guess growing up with that mindset just made us not really care much about dating. But they are pretty conservative in a religious sense, and the community I live in isn’t exactly open-minded—especially when it comes to stuff like this. So, I’ve been reading BLs in secret. But honestly, that just adds a different kind of thrill to it.

You’re my twin flame too. I’ve never heard anyone say my exact thoughts out loud and share literally the same view of life !! I’m having a surreal feeling!! I’ve de-centred men from my life naturally , I’m not big on emotional attachments because they don’t add value to my life and frankly seeing everyone being in relationships is boring enough for me to abstain from them. Cuz their only complain is how incompetent they are and how they don’t add any significance to their life apart from hardships lol. I agree with you wholeheartedly that reading BL is happier than being in a relationship haha

My parents raised me to be independent and never really pushed the idea of relationships but they are anticipating marriage and children like it’s something that will come naturally. They think that my protest is but a childish and temporary thing, they know I’m grown up and self sufficient but it’s just something unfathomable that I won’t follow the path that everybody does. In that sense I come from a very patriarchal society but my parents are girl-power people but it comes with territory hahah

Reading this whole thread and loving it bc I’m also an adult and haven’t left reading BL LOL. BL was my gay and trans awakening and now at 22 I’m still here reading them all so I’m glad to have found other adults on here. Also reading y’all’s situations and fears around relationships is so real bc I feel them all! I’m always scared with dating bc not only being trans but also liking BL I’m afraid I’ll be thought of as weird lol but I’ve found quite a few friends who like it too so I’m glad I got them. BL and fandoms have gotten me out of tough ass spots as a young teen dealing with traumas so I still have that attachment and now that I have adult money I buy the physical copies of my favorites ^_^
This bl is seriously so underrated.
Ive reread this a million times. And I love it more and more
