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*

Wandering in late as usual. Some interesting answers and thoughts in all the comments. You are making me wonder about my choice of clothes! lol I am boringly het and have been married (to the same man) for probably longer than a lot of your commenters have been alive (depressing and scary fact that one). As I am tall, old and fat I tend to wear mens shirts because they fit more comfortably than womens and hide a lot of things (me) I'd rather not see! I have never worn skirts much and gave up following fashion while I was still a teenager. I have shorter hair than my husband and sons because it looks a mess longer. I don't wear mens underwear though! So I am grunging around like your butch lesbians. I do it for comfort and because no matter what I wear I don't feel very attractive. So could thier clothing choice be that simple? If nothing is going to look good, I might as well be comfortable? Just a thought.

And belly shirts (and cycle shorts) should only be worn by serious weight lifters. If it wobbles keep it under wraps!

I agree! :)

being comfortable in who you are is what is more important. fashion sense comes in second. :D
