Is your girlfriend a lesbian?

Pseudo-Science of Love - Is your girlfriend a lesbian?

Have you ever noticed your girlfriend checking out another chick? Cool, eh? Well, maybe not if she exhibits too many of the characteristics listed in the diagram above. As in the previous companion post, it's time to start getting worried/excited if there are multiple bells ringing for you now! You may dream of that kinky threesome, but even if that unlikely scenario came to pass, you can expect to be frozen out of the equation. If the two women had any tendencies in that direction, who do you think they would focus on - you or the other woman?

The dynamic between straight men and gay women is very different from that between straight women and gay men. Men do not hang out with butch lesbians for a start. They would be afraid that they'd be challenged to an arm wrestle....and lose. Besides, there's ultimately nothing in it for the man as she is not "butter side up"*! In addition, a lot of butch lesbians hate men, which to be honest, doesn't bother us guys a whole lot!

Another difference is that while a lot of women think that what gay guys get up to is, err, not pleasant, the concept of lesbianism is very exciting for most guys! Hence male porn is full of hot chicks getting it on together (I hear!), while female porn (if there is such a thing) probably has guys in aprons doing the housework while listening intently to your problems!


* a euphemism for straight, from the cult comedy Red Dwarf!

The colourful jewellery referred to in the diagram is rainbow jewellery, apparently worn by lesbians as a sign of gay pride.

"Butter side up" was a term for heterosexuality used by Ace Rimmer, the perfect alter ego of the biggest asswipe (Rimmer) in the Galaxy. If you're still none the wiser, check out Red Dwarf, a very funny British cult Sci-Fi comedy TV show.

You probably wont't post this, but I just want you to read this. As a butch lesbian, I happen to "love" men--all men. I don't dislike hetero men and in fact, I hang with a lot of them. I am even physically attracted to some men, especially Metrosexual men. I would totally date an openly submissive Metro man, or a feminine female. Sorry that you haven't met any male-friendly butch lesbians, but we do exist.

This don't help me much. I had a friend when I was in the Navy that I hung out with that was a Butch Lesbian. She was probably the ONLY woman that I was really close to the whole time I was in the military. It was back when they were playing with the idea of don't ask don't tell. well as part of her security interviews they asked so they told. She was in limbo since there was no policy and they didn't know what to do with her. We use to dance together a lot at the USO. I remember a contest for something one night. We didn't know what the prize was and there was a good looking red head at the bar. She asked me what the prize was and I said "i hope it is her" to which she responded "me too". We both thought that was so funny. I wonder what happened to her.
