Why do a lot of lesbos try to look like men? If they prefer women, why try to look like a man? I've never understood that. Oh, and if this is part of someone's comedy act, I apologize, and I'm NOT drunk right now. It's a serious question.
Same reason some homosexual males try to look like girls I'd guess... but don't listen to me, I got a C in sociology.
Why do gay men talk that way? And why is one of the lesbian women in a couple drastically more masculine than the other woman? Why are mulletts and moustaches fashion holdouts in the gay community?
b/c a majority of women are attracted to men, so if a woman wants to attract another woman, she dresses like a man... . . . . (as if i have ANY clue of what i'm talking about!)
Because they reject mainstream society's idea of what makes a woman "attractive." Most lesbians (or "lesbos" if you prefer) don't actually look like men, rather they look androdgynous. It takes a lot of paint, hair product, and other artifice to live up to a feminine standard set in a society that worships Pam Anderson. Most women don't look anything like that in real life (hell, not even Pam Anderson looks like that in real life). Many lesbians simply dispense with the artifice altogether.
what you seem to be describing MrsJb, is a hippy chic. Hippy chics are hot. I think what TheFreak is referring to is that blocky, 50s accountant male look to which many lesbians ascribe. Well, if you can imagine an accountant wearing blue jean shorts and sporting a mullett. It's so prevalent... that its seemingly genetic. It must be another nondisjunction event... not trisomy 21, but instead it is something occurring on chromosome L7
Dude, I've always been wanting to know the answer to this question. I know not all of them talk that way, but it seems that if someone does that nasally thing that they are. *cough*not that there's anything wrong with that*cough*
There's definitely nothing wrong with it Crisco... and it's a pity you and I would feel the urge to make that qualification just for the umpteen thousand pc-alarms going off while this thread is read. If it's just another fashion thing, ie chaps, that's cool... I just have these questions periodically.
No, I'm not describing a hippy chick. They're still stereotypically female looking (long hair, feminine clothing, less makeup but it's still there). I know what Freak is referring to. I just think if the average woman gives up trying to live up to certain standards (hair, makeup, weight, dress) she's going to end up looking like the lesbian stereotype.
Um...no. The bull dyke thing takes some work. As does the amazon, the athelete, the femme, the housewife, and a hundred other pictures people intentionally conjure up. We're not talking WolfBoy, here. There isn't a "natural state" all genders or either gender defaults to. What are you, some kind of Platonist? The answer is right under your nose.
What in god's name are you talking about? I'm talking about women that don't wear makeup, hippy chicks... real hippy chicks... ie 98% of women that I've ever gone out with... and none of those women wore makeup. They're are millions of women that do not wear makeup and still cultivate something feminine.
Okay guys, I give up. You seem to have a lot more knowledge about what it takes to be a woman, so have at it. Seems to be an oddly touchy subject, though.
lol You should have known better, Mrs JB, to argue with guys like Achebe. I consider it quite an accomplishment if I can understand what in the hell he and/or rimmy is saying half the time.
Dude.. chicks look better with makeup. To take a quote from Snatch... "I ain't buyin' it!!!" "Well I ain't sellin' it. It's a fact."
Really, there's a whole bunch of possible explanations. If you assume that masculinity/femininity and sexual preference are both genetically influenced, and that while the two are related they're not identical, you would wind up with a situation where women who prefer to look masculine and men with effeminate voices are often (but not always) homosexual. Alternatively, a social explanation is that looking "butch" is a fairly effective way of signaling to other women that you are probably a lesbian. Hell, it also makes their social life simpler by sending the same signal to men (i.e., maybe rather than trying to make themselves attractive to women, they're trying to make themselves unattractive to men so bozos like Achebe stop hitting on them ).
oh this reminds me of a History Channel show on the old roadside attractions of the 50's before the interstate system bypassed them all and put them out of business... Anyway there was some poor guy who had written a book about the last remaining sites and shows, and they had him freestyle talk for quite a while At first, I didn't notice a thing. The guy had a normal masculine voice... but as the interview went on, a bead of sweat broke, and before I knew it, he turned into Christopher Lowell. I felt really sorry him, you could tell he was really embarassed That leads me to believe you can't help how you talk... though it doesn't prove anything I guess
Mrs.JB... you know how I hate to disagree with you, but some of us make a part-time living out of watching women, do you? My first wife never wore make-up and you'd never mistake her for an androgyn or a lesbian. I think there is something here that your hormones are not attuned to.
Umm "lesbos" in a comedy act? Nah, nobody wants to get their ass kicked plus, unless you are a lesbian comic, it's just not funny. Keep'em comin!
maybe it's a financial decision, i mean the haircuts and the boring brown plain clothing must be a hell of a lot cheaper Achebe - are you coming out of the closest?? perhaps that why you are dodging the World Tour, i have no problem if you are a middle aged Lesbian Scientist
