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*

Even if she is butch, she still has the pertinent bits, How she looks may just be a matter of liking the look, the way some women hate to wear skirts.
*shrugs* least that's what my sister said. She is a lesbian, she likes the boy's clothing but she leaves her hair long, though she did shave it once.
Plus, I know from experience that the short haircut is beyond easy to deal with. Men's clothes are also really comfy, specially in the crotch, girl's pants pinch or tend to chaff.
I did the "boy" look for a while, and nothing beats it for practicality and functionality, and very few things marketed for women are as comfortable.
Specially if you have a hobby like tinkering with engines. Getting your hair caught on an engine hurts, and the work is really hard on your clothes.

Hope I was helpful ^_^
