Regarding Lesbians

[tygati]

I work at a hardware store. Naturally, this means I get to meet quite a few lesbians and very few gayboys. ^^; Although there was this one pair that I'm pretty sure was...

Anyway, today I saw three lesbian couples, one of them I found to my surprise contained a lady I work with. She introduced me to "her sweetheart", Sandy. It was so cute. <3 They were picking out yard lights. ^_^

What continues to baffle me, though, is one of the other pairs I saw. I really, really don't understand why some lesbians choose to look like boys. I thought she was a boy until she said something. @_@ I mean, the point of being a lesbian is that you like girls... so, er, why would you want to look like a boy? Unless your partner was bi, I guess? Best of both worlds or something?

And I don't mean casual wear either, cause girls can wear casual/grunge/grubbies and still look like girls. No, this was men's haircut, men's shirt, men's pants, may-as-well-have-been-a-man.

*still baffled*

Nah, there is something really attractive about the 'baby dyke' (or baby butch, if you prefer) look. Think of it more as the opposite of the girly-girl as opposed to striving to look male. Because the attraction is definitely still to the girly bits and brain, however they are packaged. Or even because they are packaged that way.

LOL, I'll never forget a friend of mine approaching a person fishing at a lake. We commented that she looked like a 12-year-old boy, and Dana came back a few minutes later and sheepishly mumbled that it was a 12-year-old boy! Ah, we gave her such a hard time. She definitely preferred the butch look, but was not at all attracted to men.

Huh. How fascinating. I think if I was to be a lesbian I'd have to be a lipstick lesbian, cause I can definitely appreciate the female form... as long as it looks female! I am so glad to see short-shorts coming back into fashion. ^.~

Maybe it's more that I don't like the cropped-hair punk look on boys or girls? Hmmm...

*giggle* I guess gaydar doesn't always work? ^^;;; I was kinda wondering that, since I thought she was a boy at first, how she got good dates if she looked like a male.

Or you'd want to date a lipstick lesbian, anyway. You'd probably want to continue to look and dress as you do, yeah?

Heh, not all the time, no. But then, we were about a 100 yards away and on the campus of a women's college... I mean, it was a pretty good guess. *grins* Still funny, though.

Mmm, yeah, I could date a lipstick lesbian. Especially in short-shorts. ^.~ Or leather pants. *purr*
I like to dress up to go out. To work I wear work clothes, but pretty much if I'm going anywhere, I try to look nice. Grubbies are for around the house or insanely long road trips. x.x

*grin* Ahh, she has a good excuse. ^.~
