Miss Marple Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 If a person (female) lists herself as in a domestic partnership with another female but says she is interested in "men" what exactly does that mean? The boys and I are having a little trouble interpreting this one. At first we just thought she was just rooming with another gal, but the little heart thingy in the "relationship status" makes us wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It could be a mistake on her part. Maybe she forgot the "wo" part when she listed her interests. It could mean that she and her roomie are really really great friend she :001_wub: her like a sister. Why don't you just ask her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnsinkableKristen Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 If it's a teenager, then she could just be talking about her best friend. Lots of the girls in our youth group do this. They set their "relationship" to their best friend at the time, just to be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I find it quite common for teens to list themselves as "in a relationship with" or "married to" a good friend of the same (or sometimes opposite) gender. As far as I can tell it means nothing, and my guess is they're just sick of being single on FB. :) If she lists herself as interested in men, I would assume that correct unless I learned otherwise.

Lots of my dd's friends are "married" to each other or are "sisters." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) :iagree: If it's a young person, then I would probably assume the other young lady is her best friend. Lots of my dd's friends are "married" to each other or are "sisters." She is in her mid 20s. She is an older sister of a couple of my boys' friends. It's a family we have sort of lost track of when they quit the church we both attended. They have since moved out of town. We still have mutual friends which is how we came across it on facebook. It just struck us as odd to list both things. Edited September 6, 2011 by CynthiaOK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just struck us as odd to list both things. At that age, she could be immature and just being silly OR she could have a female roommate and be straight OR she's bisexual OR she's a lesbian and made a mistake on the "interested in" section.

Young people put some funny things on FB for their relationship status. It could be representative of some aspect of her sexuality, but it could just mean she and her friend think it's cute to have it down that they're together when there's actually not a romantic component to it.

Pretty in Pink Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I wouldn't assume that it means anything about the woman's orientation. I have an acquaintance whose FB status is like that. She listed her roommate as her 'In a relationship with' and her status as 'In a domestic partnership'. They are just roommates, and my acquaintance is 33...34? years old.
