Are Girls who like Girls attracted to different things?

I don't wear make up or own a dress or a skirt and I dont wear heels but I do have long hair. My wardrobe consists of jeans, t shirts and sweaters that I pair with trainers or flat heeled boots in the winter and my hair is always tied back in a low ponytail my style has been that way since I was 12 which was 14 yrs ago. I find feminine girls pretty. Not the ones who overdo it, but a girl wearing a dress with a little make up on. Though I do seem to prefer a somewhat natural look. I find butch girls pretty but not the ones who go too far in to looking like men. I like a woman who looks like a woman I don't care what she wears and I prefer a natural look. My sister, who is straight, covers herself in fake tan, cakes on make up and dresses in revealing clothes on a night out and I find her loud and overly sensitive. I wouldn't date a woman who would cover any of those points. On a regular day if she leaves the house she just dies a full face of make up. A girl once commented on how my hair was always in the same style so I switched my hair from a centre parting to a side parting. Once a year or so I get several inches lopped off so my hair hangs a couple of inches past my shoulders. I wouldn't mind a girl who looks like me. I do wonder does anyone want a woman like me. I've tried make up and dresses in the past but it just wasn't me.

 

But what books?

 

I can't find people who read, or at least have read what I have. My last conversation about books was with a ten year old. We were able to discuss Jaqueline Wilson, Lemony Snicket and Roald Dahl but I never read some of the books she likes because I stopped reading kids books when I stopped being a kid.

 

I’m getting my PhD in literature (crossing my fingers I graduate next August) so I read. And I teach comp and literature.

But yeah... not a lot of people read.

 

Thanks. We’ll see if I can finish the dissertation, which I’m steadily chipping away. I’m almost done with a RD of this chapter.

Early congrats on your undergrad!

I do miss reading for leisure though.

 

This thread is interesting to read. What is conventionally attractive seems to vary. Even what people think is feminine varies.

I'm drawn to more androgynous personalities or people who embrace being themselves and aren't afraid of being feminine or masculine. Moreover, with as much mental health work I've done... I'm aware of unhealthy stereotype relationship roles and patterns. So people who fall into unhealthy roles really don't appeal. When it comes to appearances I do perfer women to look at least somewhat feminine. Natural and cute I suppose, tomboy even? I also find girls that dress well and sexy are appealing. I rather a woman be overly feminine in appearance than overly masculine. I like a woman's shape tbh, so I find it attractive if I can see her shape and curves (which feels stereotypically male).

 

This.

I sometimes say (not facetiously) that I'm looking for a girl who 1) has no makeup, 2) wearing a pony tail, 3) driving a truck, 4) on the way to the Marine Bio Lab. I expect that 4) would imply a literate person!

 

Interestingly (not surprisingly) some of my most fascinating literary discussions were on my home page here.

OK, now we just have to hang out at that lab pretending to be fish. The ones without bicycles...

And if you take any of that good advice you give other people, you will be telling us about your first girl kiss, and we will all be a little bit jealous and a lot bit happy for you.

 

Not a tall order, I'm sure you'll find your marine biologist. Don't listen to the nay sayers who preach a biologist could never love an octopus!

That sounds like a good date I don't know if I'm being dense or navie... but... "Bicycles"? :0

 

Darn memes! I can't keep up with all of them!

Thank you though lol.
