The title of this entry is my favorite metaphor for what it's been like jumping back into the dating pool as a trans lesbian after 15 years of monogamous marriage: you learn to drive, then you take mass transit for 15 years, then you're driving again - in Tokyo.

I had lunch with fellow trans lesbian M, who went Full Time and got the Grand Snip many years ago and has much more experience of such things than I do. She had two observations about women who are significantly more accustomed to relationships with other women compared to those who are at least as accustomed to men.
  • The low-on-men women (LOMs?), says M, have a lower tolerance for expressions of anger.
  • As irritating as high-on-men women may find eagerness in men, to a degree it's tolerated and even expected & rewarded. LOMs, on the other hand, don't put this expectation much on other women. To them eagerness is another warning sign.


So what do you think? Hooey? Or truey?
