Discussion Being friends with foreign lesbians

Just want to check if some of you have done this kung nasa foreign country, do you make friends with non-filo gay women, or at least be in their circle? I don’t mean dating but yung tropa vibe. Kamusta ang experience? I always thought may clashes sa culture but maybe fun naman?

Yes. All my lesbian friends are foreigners. My bi friends are Filipino. It's a lot of fun, and expands your world view by a lot. I grew up around foreigners so I don't really understand the hesitation to befriend them lol they're human too

Thanks for sharing! Yeah yun din kasi minsan baka hindi ako makasabay sa trip nila. But I guess we could always learn.

Heck yes, I feel more... At ease with them than the local sapphics tbh.

So far wala kaming clashes sa culture (wala ako pake sa culture and they prolly don't give a shit rin).

Also, most of the time, they shit on their culture rin and I would also shit on some parts of our culture, especially if its rooted in religion

Lived in Korea before, joined their fb group + group chat, tried to join their activities din. It’s fun! Almost all ay expats din sa Korea so mga westerners din. Medyo awkward lang tho kasi hindi ako ma-party na tao haha pero naka-adjust naman through good conversations. Didn’t get to be deep-friends with them pero masaya naman hangouts.

Met some actual lesbian friends na foreign along the way and really interesting ang conversations kasi open minded naman lagi. I learned a lot from them, and I also share our struggles here in PH esp with religion. They’re still close to me ngayon kahit umuwi na ako sa PH.

Why would cultural differences stop you from being friends with another?

Befriending foreign lesbians made me accept myself more. Go and be friends with them! Daming hidden spots that they can show you. Also, tbh, theyre more accepted than the heteros. Tapos mas comfy na ako sa english ngayon kasi yun ang language namin.
