Where are all the lesbians in Helsinki?

I'm sorry I have to use English, but using google translator would be a disaster and you would not understand me at all.
I read Finnish perfectly well, so you may respond in Finnish! (the second alternative would be my native tongue French)
I am here because of a project and will be staying at least 5-6 years. I'm originally from Canada. (and French:)
I moved here in the summer and have been dealing with all the stuff related to relocating, so I'm finally settling down now that winter is finally here! I love the snow and the frost:-)
But to my original question. Where are all the 35 to 50-year olds in the bar scene?
I tried Nalle pub near a fire station somewhere. There were two men and a lady behind the bar. Somebody told me that would be THE place to find women. Then, the next time, I went to DTM in the center of Helsinki. They had a women only night but the crowd was 20-25-year olds, obviously not interested in an old bird lilke me (39).
Someone told me that Mann's Street might have my kind of crowd. But I ended up being the only woman there!
Have I just had bad luck? Or is it really so that women don't go out after they celebrate their 30th birthday?

Add a profile to Qruiser.com, and try from there? There is not one place "older" lesbians hang out. SETA organizes parties for older girls "Mummolaakso". Naistenbileet is one way to go too. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong - I do not go to those parties myself.

I think Mannstreet is a good choice, so try again if you were the only one there. You are right, Nalle pub is nowadays just like any other crappy neighbourhood bar. It used to a lesbian bar, but is not that any longer.

But my guess is that Mann's Street is more for older guys and faghag girls - this just a personal observation.
Nalle is a lost cause already. Too many drunks and not that many gays.
Someone told me that Jenny Woo is for trendy dykes, so if you are one of them, it's yours.
I went to Mummolaakso pikkujoulu. Arrived at nine, left after ten. Must have been the youngest one. Ok, I'm not into old dances.
You'll find your place, I'm sure. I have given up on bars. I'm looking for people on the net. But that's just my way.

and asking people to contact you... I for instance am planning to organise a new year's party, i could invite you and you could join us, and meet many people at the same time.

Most of my friends are although over 40... but we ALL have the same problem!!!

I just go out, when my friends are going out and I am assuming most of lesbians do the same -- quite few like to go bar hopping by themselves, so some time the places might be crowded also with 35 lesbians, but most of the evenings not. YOu should go there more often - one night might not give you good enough picture.

Anyway good luck and wellcome to Helsinki!!

Mitäpä jos yrittäisit ravintolalaiva Wäiskiä silloin kun siellä on Mummolaakson porukkaa tai joitain muita Mummolaakson tapahtumia?
Itse olen 41-vuotias enkä käy baareissa, ehkä Peijakas-klubilla, mutta voin vannoa olevani siellä ainoa ikäryhmäni edustaja.

I've been going out mostly by myself as well, as I'm quite new to the scene here, and would love to get to know gay women of my own age (40ish). In the bars the people you see are really quite young, so I've also taken the internet as a way to find people of my kind.

I was wondering if you'd like to have company to go and see what's out there? I'm planning to dress in drag and go to the L-world party in DTM next Saturday, and it wold be fun to go with someone. You can write a message to my suomi24.fi email if you are interested in going out one night.

Good luck with your exploration!

  • I was thinking sending an invitation to you privately ( I was not planning to invite the whole list) - if you are interested to meet new people - lesbians between 40-50 years old and then go together either to Kaisaniemi or dtm...
