  - the stereotypical lesbian look sort of mystifies me. straight women tend to dress more for other women than men a lot of the time. - Andie Jun 8, 14:46 34
    - [deleted]
    - FWIW, I don't think a woman dressing to impress other women is straight. -- nm - David Jun 8, 14:50 32
      - You're wrong. -- nm - mara Jun 8, 15:26 1
        
        Nah. -- nm - David Jun 8, 15:32
      - It's about social status, not attraction -- nm - Roger More Jun 8, 14:56 4
        
        status implies there's only one way to impress with clothes. - b. Jun 8, 15:00 2
        
        I didn't mean it's just about how much money is spent - how much time and effort is put in is important too -- nm - Roger More Jun 8, 15:05 1
        
        ah, ok. -- nm - b. Jun 8, 15:06
        
        It's about dominance, yes. -- nm - David Jun 8, 14:57
      - all the time. -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 14:56
      - Oh, man. This is one of the basic facets of human nature. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 14:56 18
        
        It really is. Gender roles, certainly. nm - Dignan Jun 8, 14:57
        
        And there is a distinct sexual undertone to it. -- nm - David Jun 8, 14:56 16
        
        "I'm sexier than you," sure. -- nm - mara Jun 8, 15:27 1
        
        You're right. -- nm - David Jun 8, 16:13
        
        actually, women who are dressed in sexy clothes are dressing for men, women who are wearing status clothes are dressing for women. - Andie Jun 8, 14:57 10
        
        I don't think it divides that easily. To each their own. -- nm - David Jun 8, 15:00 7
        
        human nature isn't simple. but if you think women don't dress to impress other women, you are naive. -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 15:00 6
        
        shorties be frontin' -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 15:05
        
        At no point did I say they didn't. It's the why of it where we have differing philosophies. -- nm - David Jun 8, 15:04
        
        It's closer to narcissism than naivete. nm - Dignan Jun 8, 15:01 3
        
        Your IM loses me completely. -- nm - David Jun 8, 15:05 2
        
        That's pretty funny. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 15:22 1
        
        Thanks! -- nm - David Jun 8, 15:26
        
        We totally appreciate the boobs underneath the pointless status clothing. nm - Dignan Jun 8, 14:59
        
        This. and the two are very different. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 14:58
        
        it's possible that lesbians think less about other women than you do about lesbians. -- nm - b. Jun 8, 14:57 2
        
        - "possible" + "virtually assured" (nm) - musubi Jun 8, 15:27
        
        Hee! -- nm - David Jun 8, 14:59
      - not always, sure; but it happens a whole lot. -- nm - b. Jun 8, 14:54
      - Wow. nm - Dignan Jun 8, 14:54 2
        
        seriously, he probably thinks Kim buys the shoes for his benefit. -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 14:57 1
        
        This is the worst possible read of me on multiple levels. -- nm - David Jun 8, 15:17
      - ah, so naive. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 8, 14:52

    - It wasn't a joke. It was just that I don't think the lesbian stereotypes are as obvious to me as the hyper-fit gay guy stereotype. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 8, 14:54 2
      - Now I want to find the SNL sketch where the frat guys find a genie in a beer bottle and order up a couple of "real life" lesbians to watch go at it. - Dr.Vermin Jun 8, 15:00

        it's so barfy. I would so rather have cake. -- nm - workmanda Jun 8, 15:44 1
        
        maybe they should call it the "ice cream anti-social" -- nm - wheezy Jun 8, 15:54
  - oh, sure, it's no big deal. -- nm - Andie Jun 8, 14:55
