The thing is, I once assumed a girl was a lesbian because she had really short hair, wore a leather jacket, was really friendly to me, and I noticed her staring at me a few times. As it turned out, she was a straight chick who really liked her hair short, leather jackets, was really outgoing, and was actually checking out my clothes, not me. Stereotypes definitely don't always work.

Why is it that alot of lesbians feel they have to act like a man, dress like a man, have short hair like a man, but are attracted to woman, I mean, for me, the whole thing about being interested in woman is that they are not men, If I wanted a man i'd be with a man. I have long hair, I dress like a woman, smell sweet like a woman, I dont act like a man, and I sure as hell don't want a woman that acts like a man, or think she has to be the dude on a date or in a relationship. Jus my opinion.

I am a lesbian. I want my relationships as equal as possible. No straight male-female shit. Just two girls. Buttttt I do want my girlfriend to give off the lesbian vibe. Rainbow bracelets, a little bit boyish sometimes, wears flat shoes rather than pump etc etc. More important is that she smells nice, has long hair and wears a little make-up :)

I'm bi (only cause I think love is about the soul not the gender, otherwise I would be a lesbian) .

Making: play guns/car games, LOVE the L word, wear a rainbow bracelet?, love basketball.

Breaking: Long long hair that I couldn't live without, shaving, makeup, I don't hate guys(most of my guys friends are gay but detail...).

So I appear to be the most straightest person but I'm the gayiest on the inside? Maybe it's why I'm bi, but whatever. I just hate labels.

@banafsegy well, lots of girls identify themselves better by dressing like a guy, just like girls feel the need of dressing girly and looking cute and stuff, lesbians feel more confortable looking the way they want to. And not every lesbian wants to look like a guy. there's girly lesbians. and a lot of girls are not confortable with looking like girls because inside they feel like they are a guy trapped on a girl's body. just my opinion ;9

When people learn that i'm attracted to girls, they get really surprise because i'm really ''feminine''. I guess that's how I break the stereotypes? :)
