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

Thank you for your concern TSC - if I ever need a psychiatrist I'll be sure to give you a call -

& Apologies for coming to your attention -

No - that is factually incorrect.
I said I didn't want the Guardian to close at all - even though I don't particularly like the paper - I think you said something about Tory cunts being glad if people lost their jobs - I gave you a comparison about lefties not caring if a pub closed because of a banning incident that just happened to involve a gay couple ( whose behaviour had received complaints from other customers ) - it's hypocrisy I have an issue with.

Well, I'll chip in again and say that the particular woman I am referring to was extremely happy with herself, weight, size and looks, she was very confident and had people of both sexes falling over themselves to talk to her.

She probably wouldn't have minded being called a yeti, I'm sure she'd heard worse and wittier comments, but she wasn't particularly interested in the opinions of shallow people either so it would have been of no consequence.
As an aside the reason I got lucky (she told me later) was that I didn't fawn all over her (that's what happens when you have no confidence play it cool).

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 12:45

I know my friend in the biblical sense.

And The pub banning incident was a good comparison. I remember people on here saying they hoped the pub would close and the staff lose their jobs - I thought that was an appalling attitude. ( the staff could have been gay for all they know ) - some people are incapable of seeing the bigger picture.

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 15:13

It's not shallow just because you don't fancy someone
Jesus Christ you can't fancy everything that moves.
Not my type - end of.

Gay40 · 26/06/2011 15:16

No, it is each to their own of course, but if your type is "very good looking", as you say, then that makes you somewhat shallow...yes?

Different from saying your type is dark hair, or blue eyes etc

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 15:21

No it doesn't make me shallow it just makes me very fussy - I don't sleep with people out of charity - I'm not the fucking Samaritans.

Gay40 · 26/06/2011 15:23

I'm fussy, but my standard is intelligent articulate conversation... not looks.

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 15:29

In other words you can only pull geeky mingers -
bad luck dude -

Portofino · 26/06/2011 15:33

Well this is all going very nicely. Hmm Not quite what the OP was expecting when she posted methinks...

...but I really fancy someone I know ( who is a lesbian ) I have read Hester's posts over and over but I still can't quite understand why I find her so attractive - she looks very boyish and rejects pretty much everything 'female' ( she'll never have kids - that's for sure ) - but I love her personality more, and that's what keeps me in thrall ( that and the fact that she looks so dirty -,lol )

Wink your just a dirty troublemaker

Gay40 · 26/06/2011 15:45

God no. Far from it. I usually punch above my weight when it comes to girlfriends, but then I can't stand thick people.
Bad luck, dude.

lesley33 · 26/06/2011 15:55

There is nothing wrong with not fancying someone. But it doesn't mean you have to put down anyone you don't fancy.

I can't work out though if you are on the wind up or just thick tbh.

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 15:56

my stunningly beautiful g/f has degrees coming out of her ears - she's very high up in education and training and she kinda loves me - I guess it's my charm, wit, and good looks. >
And I love her too much to mess around.

So Serious bad luck dude.

Gay40 · 26/06/2011 15:58

Got to feel the pity for the people who live in fantasy land lol. Bless 'em all.

Gay40 · 26/06/2011 16:00

I suspect it is both, Lesley. But she must be a fan of Plan B as she's got a picture of him on her profile.

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 16:06

Ha ha - not used to rejection are you.

lesley33 · 26/06/2011 16:12

Just looked at your profile carminaburana and tbh you don't look very bright. I don't have a problem if people just aren't very bright, if they are kind and compassionate people - which you obviously are not.

And you are wrong if you think having degrees means someone is bright, but I guess thats another discussion.

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 16:17

Lesley33 - that's not me Smile

lesley33 · 26/06/2011 16:21

Okay, so you put a random photo up in your profile page. Why?

carminaburana · 26/06/2011 16:22

That's my g/f
