The ad was totally true!

Just kidding 🙂 . I’m somewhat a lesbian, um… wait that would make me bi. Well, I have a lot of lesbian friends and most of them are true hotties!

The link was pretty funny. It still makes me sick to think that there are people, coupes like that. I think I have to throw up!

?? ☹ ?? I don’t find those two women attractive, but I think I’ve always had a sort of “aww, shucks, ain’t they cute?” feeling when I see two people together in love. How could that ever make you feel sick?

Here now, **Zyada** , that’s just not fair. I’m a man, and I’d match my insecurity about my looks against any woman’s, any time. Bring it on!

I’m reading and posting at work, so I don’t dare click on the link in the OP. It’s quite intriguing to read this thread without looking at whatever it is you’re all talking about.

Click away - it’s not dirty, I promise. It’s just a picture of two women in their 40-50’s(?) not wearing makeup and holding hands, fully clothed, and from the waist up. Not too shocking. Just picture two of Rosie O’Donnell before she puts on her foundation, and you’ll have a good idea of what talking about.

Teeheehee!

I live in what has become ground zero for Denver’s lesbian community. Yup, I’d say the majority look like that. Then again, if I saw a “normal” looking woman there’s no way of telling whether she’s straight or lipstick, without asking her. Still, the image in [http://photos.classifieds2000.com/photos/internet/personal/17/5924317.jpg](http://photos.classifieds2000.com/photos/internet/personal/17/5924317.jpg) seems to protray a disproportionately large portion of my neighborhood’s population.

Couples like what? Couples who managed to stay committed even after their hair turns gray, the mid-section thickens, and everything droops? You mean, like my parents? My grandparents? Or is it only senior citizen lesbian couples who make you want to throw up?

Hmmm…or Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein? (been waiting for someone to bring them up.)

Hey, not all straight couples are so attractive. Does that make them any less human?

One of these things is not like the other.

Actually, I consider those I rate in the 4 to 6 range on a 1 to 10 scale as ‘average’, so most women ARE average or worse.
