    What i don't get is: lesbians like women but some lesbians like women who act as if they are men. Liking butch women seems like wanting a manly woman. Being attracted to male attributes but in a woman- "man light"? Doesn't make sense to me.

    using falic shaped strap ons aswell, tis a weird one

    Then again, maybe they should just wear whatever they want.

    Are you bicyexual?
    Have you a stronger urge towards one sex or the other? Why?

    Yes, I am.
    I'm a bit more attracted to men, maybe 70% men 30% women.
    I'm not sure why. Maybe I just like the greater range of things they can physically do to me :eek:
    I have fallen in love with a man and a woman but it felt like proper love in the man's case. Was mutual in both cases.

    So you can't.
    I like to understand and human behaviour is very understandable. So, either put on your thinking cap or pi$$ off and less of your attempts of sassing me with your 'having your mind made up' comments.

    No I can't , and short any detailed information on why individuals act as they do I have no way of knowing why they do .

    That doesn't seem to be a problem for you though , you seem to be able to make judgements in an instant .

    The point is though I don't let it bother me . Something that seems to be beyond you .

    If you don't mind answering...Could you see yourself settling with a woman or a man? If have you thought that far ahead...
    Why did it feel like proper love with one sex and not the other? Was it sex-based,
    not coitus, (m/f) dynamic or it just didn't develop in the f/f relationships?



    I have more Q's for your AMA, so you'll need your dental records, educational achievements, Public Services number, etc. ☺

    I could settle with either. I almost did settle with a woman, and I have lived with a man..

    I think it wasn't about gender, it was just that I didn't truly love the first person and I did, the other. I was very fond of the woman and did love her in a way, just not the same way.

    AMA, Now you're talking..to a raging lezzer

    OP you are actually a "campophobe"

    Please enrol yourself for some diversity training.

    Apparently that Irish wedding planner guy "Fronk" is straight. There's a camp straight man.

    I can't handle camp myself. I can barely handle people that get mildly excited.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,463 ✭✭✭Ultimate Seduction


    I don't mind gay fellas, im actually friendly enough with 2,but I absolutely can't stand camp gay guys, I would get off the bus early if there was one on it..

    Does this make me homophobic? No, it just means I can't stand people who act that way.

    And let's be honest, how many camp straight guys have we ever seen?

    Where did some one come up with the name camp anyway? Immature drama queen more fitting.

    OP here, lot of BS in the thread, started out OK until the permanently offened got involved.

    To summarise, I don't like camp people (or drama Queen loud flamboyant attension seekers) what ever you want to call them. It has nothing to do with being gay and if you jump to that conclusion then it says more about you and the wrong misconception of people you have.

    Nothing worse than a judgmental twit, is there, Erik ?

    Probably a personality thing more than anything, used to work in an office, 3 gay chaps were there, 2 of them were sound, the third was a loud, annoying dickhead.

    If you are Homophobic OP, just think about Lesbians, it usually works a treat ;)

    What does that make You? Besides an idiot

    So am I homophobic?

    Impossible to say without knowing you. I can not make a character assessment based on a single post. However the confusion of others is somewhat forgivable given the connections people DO make in their head between "camp" and "homosexual".

    Perhaps, as you point out, that connection is not valid but it is there. In fact I was told (never fact checked it) that the word camp finds it's roots in the police term "KMP" standing for "Known Male Prostitute". Probably apocryphal though, someone here probably knows.

    So it might help, who knows, when describing why you do not want to be around any given individual to use descriptions specific to that individual when explaining yourself. Rather than use more general terminology that comes with baggage.
    I know myself I have no irrational fear or hatred of people based on their sexual orientation. I can't stand some peoples attitudes and behaviours, but I have perfectly rational reasons as to why that is

    And yet still awaiting the rational reasons on offer behind you not just having an issue with two gay men holding hands in a restaurant, but why you feel the staff of said restaurant should be expected to impinge on the evening of these entirely INNOCENT men in order to take actions to alleviate YOUR issue with it.
