My god, that’s funny. And I’d have to agree, that most lesbians look just like that. I have a couple of lesbian cousins, and they aren’t going to be in Playboy or Penthouse or Jimbob’s Erotic Farm Animals anytime soon. They are fugly, but they’re family. hehehe ---

Real lesbians are always the best. I hate the lesbians that they make with Nutrasweet. ---

Real lesbians… Sort of remind me of “practicing homosexuals”. I’m waiting for someone to ask me if I am a practicing homosexual. “No, I graduated. I’m now a concert homosexual.” ---

Oh, by the way, I find a lot of lesbians stunning. But bear in mind here that I’m a gay man. (I like androgynous looking guys, among others, and there are a lot of lesbians around here that will really make me double take.) ---

And here I was thinking that old ones didn’t exist WHAT WAS I THINKING?? :slaps self in head: But seriously…the only lesbians I know, are either EXTREMELY PROMISCUOUS, or disgustingly ugly! I have worked with one, but being in a professional setting (and being male!) there was never a problem! She’s an excellent worker, and the other female nurses have no problems with her either! hehe…the one on the right in that picture looks like my old Home Ec. Teacher in High School! 😃 ---

In a forum that encourages you to post porn (the ‘Don’t Post Porn Here’ forums at [somethingawful.com](http://somethingawful.com)) I posted a link to some pics of lesbians getting it on, and the universal reaction was basically ‘Eek! Real lesbians! We don’t want THOSE!’, and somebody tried to make up for my gaffe by posting a picture of some airbrushed model-type naked women feeling on each other. I have known a couple of attractive lesbians, but most were average in looks (or worse). But then, most women are average or worse. ---

No Anthracite, I’ve never seen you. OTOH, I do know that women _always_ think they look worse than they really do (as opposed to men who always think they look better than they do, LOL) And you have a beautiful spirit, which will shine through no matter how little you fit the Playboy/Cosmopolitan conceit of beauty. ---

ladies, ladies, ladies, This is so simple it’s almost absurd. What you need is a controled experiment with an impartial judge. For the sake of science, I’m going to need to have all lesbians invite me into their bedrooms with their loved ones so I can watch the act and determine if you truly are “extremely promiscuous” and/or “disgustingly ugly.” Feel free to do what comes naturally and just pretend I don’t have the camcorder on. Really, it’s the only fair way to settle this. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Badtz Maru \* > But then, most women are average or worse. Actually, I think you’ll find that about 50% of the women are below average, and 50% are above average. Shocking, I know. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Adolph Peewee \* > **But seriously…the only lesbians I know, are either EXTREMELY PROMISCUOUS, or disgustingly ugly!** Well, hell. Couldn’t have anything to do with the possibility that you wouldn’t recognize a woman you considered attractive as lesbian, could it? Or that you’re not likely to find many women coming out to you because you don’t look like a sympathetic character? Someone with that mindset is likely to be the one who placed the ad. I’d be willing to bet that it’s a fake. For all the men looking at the picture and making EWWW noises, I cannot _wait_ until you’re older, when women will look at you and wince and younger men will laugh at you for being ugly. ---

As for the picture in the link, those are the two women who founded the Daughters of Bilitis about 50 years ago – and are, so far as I know, still alive and together. Surnames are Martin and Lyon, IIRC, but I’m drawing a blank on first name. They were quite good looking in their younger days, allowing that the one on the left was always a bit “butchy”. I don’t see them as attractive now, but you have to admit that they’ve aged well – they look like an Ansel Adams portrait of aged dignity, which makes me think that that’s one good photographer. ---

Lesbians do not always look like the fantasies in your head, and for that matter do not exist mearly for enjoyment in porno flicks. Just like heterosexual couples they come in all sizes and ages. Sorry! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/real-lesbians-gasp-im-shocked/47343.md?page=2)
