to wonder why lesbians go for women that look like men?

surely if you fancy women you'd want to go out with a woman that looked like \ woman not a man.
nothing against gay/lesbians at all.

but this seems a bit strange to me

Good looking is important if you worry about what others might think when you are out on the scene. But good looks do not keep a relationship going.
Destinationzero: load of crap.

lesley33 · 25/06/2011 14:08

destinationzero - You are totally wrong. People dress certain ways/have haircuts for a wide range of reasons. Punks didn't dress like punks because they wanted to get the best looking boys/girls. Black people didn't start swearing affros in the 70's to get the best looking boys/girls.

I have been with my female partner for 22 years. It is a long long time since I was going out looking for someone.

You may choose how you dress/look based on getting the best looking person; but lots of people have other reasons.

And you know there are some very feminine gorgeous women who go out with other gorgeous feminine women.

DZ - I don't think anyone wants sex with the ugliest person they can find do they? - so I'm not really sure what you're trying to say.
Plus there's butch and there's butch - just like there's supermarkets and there's supermarkets ( think Waitrose and Iceland ) - I like boyish butch types - but I wouldn't look twice at a 16 stone fat ugly 'butch' lesbian - and as for K.D Lang and Sue Perkins - honestly I'd rather have a wank.
I'm only attracted to 'very good looking' - that's my 'type'.
But you're right about the sexual infidelity - lesbians are just as guilty of it.

Fat and ugly is in the eye of the beholder, just like everything else. Just like the 16 stone really. On someone 4' 10" it might not appeal. On another woman of 6' 2", it just appears deliciously womanly (I'm speaking from experience on the latter).

carminaburana · 25/06/2011 18:01

6ft 2 and 16 stone is not a woman - it's some sort of yeti -
But hey, whatever gets you thru' the night -

Gay40 · 25/06/2011 21:38

Got me through the night nicely, thanks.....and about as far from a yeti as you can imagine. Gorgeous, in fact.

Er? - what did I say?
if this was a thread about heterosexuals (Ie: if I was saying it about a man ) you wouldn't give a toss.

Sorry if I offended you by not wanting sex with a 16st 6ft. 2 woman - as much as I like it rough, I don't want to end the night with 3 broken ribs and a serious back injury -
What if she fell on me? - she'd bloody kill me.

A bit OTT don't you think - I'm not sure why my sexual preferences annoy you tbh.

That's just my opinion of a potential sexual partner - they're are 1000's of people who love big woman - literally drool over them. Look at Mick Jagger/Rod Stewart - They wouldn't be seen dead with a woman under 6ft -

I was just giving my own personal opinion - and like I said, if I'd said it about a man you wouldn't be having a go at me.
Fwiw - I wouldn't sleep with a skinny woman under 5ft either - waste of time.

sparky246 · 26/06/2011 10:36

well im not 6ft but i am big[and heavy].
im also gentle and imaginitive!!
i have never squashed anyone/broke theyre ribs/flattened them or fallen on them.
ambulances and undertakers have never played a part in my relashionships.
[as much as i like it rough]
you have some very small minded ideas Carmin!

SAF - I'm sorry ok - I was chatting with someone last night I was in a hurry and it just slipped out - it was insensitive and incorrect as big women are beautiful - I'm probably just jealous cos I can't pull one.

But you've said I'm a vile twit who smells like a pig, so I'd call it evens.
