Since they themselves have NO IDENTITY of their own, copying other peoples[females] styles makes them superficial.  Now the bitchy part comes into play, when they are challenged.  A "bitch" is supposed to be a dog... so if the shoe fit's than they are the ones to wear it.  I'm not a gay basher but I do know several gay guys who wish they could possess what a woman has, therefore, they tend to hid under a superficial disguise - not of themselves.... Let's pray they stop the spread of STD's.

LOL  Boy do I know this one...Trying to figure it out.... I think, we tend to exude a confidence that most straight women do not...That is what they observe and is what they gravitate to.... satistics show most of us fancy the same sex at some degree..I think these women who have the curiousity bug unfortuanetly see us as play toys with no regards to our emotions.. This is where we need to take care...     So girls, Becareful!

I am not lesbian or bi... I think that one of the possible reasons that people are so down on bi women is that unlike lesbians, it has been considered cool, hot and sexy by mainstream media, even so much so that some girls would claim that they are bi for the extra attention that they could receive from males... On the other hand, the lesbian/gay community has been marginalized to a point where a person that could be seen as a 'fence-sitter' (even if that's not the case) would not be accepted fully by the lesbian/gay community, especially when it is more acceptable to be bi than to be gay. Within the straight community, I think we've seen a media-induced increase of bi-sexual girls, many who return to straightness when the novelty wears off, so a truly bisexual woman would be taken less seriously due to the other girls going through 'a phase'.

I believe the level of difficulty isn't directly to related to whether you are a lesbian or a gay male but rather the extent to which your personality goes against society's idea of "normal" -- a very feminine gay man is going to have more difficulty "fitting in" to a society where men are expected to be "manly". A butch lesbian who doesn't meet the "feminine" requirements of society will also have a harder time, but at least she can kick their butts if they mess with her. :)

I'd say it's harder to be gay than lesbian, only because there seems to be more prejudice directed towards gay men.  And there are so many straight males out there who think two women together is sexy, but for some reason two men together is disgusting and wrong.  \n\nThere's also the issue of sex and sexually transmitted diseases. Most lesbians I know don't practice safe sex, as the likelihood of contracting STD's is much lower than gay sex or heterosexual sex.  \n\nSo yeah, for sure it's easier to be a lesbian!\n\nHey mresl2005... thanks for your comments :)  Are you saying that lesbians are more likely than straight couples to contract herpes, chlamydia etc?  If so, I take back my comment... didn't do my research, did I?  But it's given me an idea for a new question!

I think part of it may be to keep others from questioning their sexuality--in other words, it's their own insecurity about how others perceive them. To me it seems that heterosexual men are very concerned that they not be seen as gay, even by accident. Because two women together is often more accepted by heterosexual society (a popular heterosexual male fantasy), I think you won't hear women say this as often. Also, I think women are generally more gay tolerant. Perhaps that's another reason they don't feel the need to separate themselves verbally by the "I'm not" tag.

Although there are people out there who don't want to admit it yes, it is common for one person to have more "control" for say in a lesbian relationship.  \n\nKeep in mind, though, this doesn't necessarily mean that the "butch" is in control while the "femme" is not.

JEALOUSY IS TO BLAME.  WHether it be who has longer hair, bigger boobs, who's thinner or who gets the most guys.  Women are crazy like that.

One reason, I believe, is that the appetite for sex seems so overwhelming in gay males.  (Have no idea what the lesbian focus on sex is.) If you are new to the scene, and are exploring and trying to figure things out, this inordinate focus on sex makes things extremely difficult.  Just regular socializing without the intent to "hook-up" is nearly impossible.  Everyone seems to have an angle ending in a sexual situation.  Sheesh.

Ah, the jealousy of protecting him for you is greater than the opportunity for her to touch you.  Definitely--you are not a lesbian.

The operative words here are "like straight guys are to lesbians". The fact is, straight guys are NOT attracted to lesbians, they are attracted to women that will have sex together and then let him join in. A lesbian is not likely to want a man to join in. So, what you are asking in reality is: Do women want two men to have sex with them at the same time. The answer is no.

We think in pretty simple terms. Two is better than one. Also, many girls I know find gay guys attractive, so I'm pretty sure it works both ways.\n\nOh, one more thing. Because lesbians are attracted to other lesbians, and not men, it makes them that much harder to get, and that much more desirable.

Most do because they tend to feel that they're sexually inadequate. That's how my girl's ex-bf felt when my girl realized that she wasn't really in love with him, and that she was in love with me. He's still bitter about the fact that he lost his girl to a lesbian, but that's life. People switch teams all the time, especially when they're not happy with the their members.

Because they are really lesbians, but have not yet admitted it to themselves.  Or else possibly because they are being just plan unfair!

Yes, it is a double standard. But an understandable one, IMO. When seeing two guys together, you think of the sexual implications, and they generally aren't very pleasant. With women it is different. Women are by far the fairer sex, and the view of what they'd do together is much less "intense" so to speak. Just to clarify, I have no problem at all with someone being gay, bi, or lesbian. I can't afford to. ;P
