Responses:

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

- 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
