    Yes, it helped... :lol: The last sounds a lot like me too... but I have some "old world manners" if I date a girl. :lol:
    There are lots, lots of labels... I think they're fun, I like reading the definitions and thinking if I or someone else has traits of the one or the other.

    Between soft butch and butch. At least I believe I was supposed to be like that, y'know? Behave in a more manly way without losing some of my femininity, but still being seem as a masculine person if that makes sense...

    I'm a femme, I like other femmes but I also like soft butches so I don't know what to call that c;

    Yeah, they can be fun, but it is important to not get all caught up in them too much. People can get really unhappy that way. :icon_bigg

    It makes perfect sense to me. I have heard many softer butch women say the exact same things.

    I'm kind of unsure whether I'd be more of a soft butch or a tomboy "femme" now. I feel extremely androgynous and I'm not sure if I'm masculine or feminine; I feel like both. I don't like dresses/skirts/or makeup though, but I have long hair and can sometimes be submissive

    I definitely prefer feminine characteristics (in both sexes) to masculine ones in people. In terms of "femme" vs "butch" her face still has to be fairly feminine or I probably won't find her attractive. Past her face, whether she dresses and acts more feminine or masculine doesn't make a difference to me. So this pretty much means femmes and soft butches.

    I like Nedussa's description:

    Most of my clothes come from the women's department, but aren't really feminine. Most of my accessories are somewhat unisex, I don't care for make-up, and as of late I have short hair. The boyish/butchy(/geeky) kind of girl is also the type that catches my attention.
    But my mannerisms, I guess, are, even though I sometimes tend to act a bit more masculine, a mix of what's stereotypically seen as masculine or feminine.

    Welcome out!
     
  10. I'd call myself a Lipstick Bi-Romantic Homosexual because I, mostly, (apart from not wanting to wear skirts/dresses), am a girly girl and I have medium length hair (and it'd be longer too if I could have control over that) and I'm really only attracted to other feminine girls, I'm not into butch girls - Though I would date one if I loved her personality!

    Well, it's simple really. Femmes are girly and feminine while butches are more masculine and tomboyish. I consider myself a feminine lesbian, otherwise known as a femme. I prefer other femmes, but I would be willing to date butches too.

    I consider myself more inclined to the butch side since I feel more comfortable using more masculine clothes, but I interact in a more femme to neutral way, y'know? Not too girly, just enought for you to know that I'm a little feminine.

    I fall somewhere in the middle, I think. I love getting all glammed up in makeup and a beautiful dress with my hair done, but I also live in t-shirts and jeans a lot, and I love rocking sexy "menswear".

    I look and act very feminine. I guess I look more like a tomboy on my lazy days though
