Can you answer a question about lesbian couples? ?

I'm not wanting to be disrespectful in any way, but I was wondering why in some lesbian couples one woman dresses and acts very manly, and the other is quite feminine. Does this mean that the feminine one is attracted to "manliness" or masculinity? If that's the case, would she also be attracted to men? Like, be bisexual?

    Some women are just more comfortable dressing feminine while others are more comfortable dressing like a 'tomboy' or more masculine. And sometimes they end up together. NOT always!

    Masculine women are still women. I disagree that it's about body parts. I mean... lesbians could be with a trans woman who is pretty femme but pre-op it hasn't anything to do with parts for a lot of people. It just depends on the person.

    I think butch women bring to the table something that men don't, so I don't think all women into masculine women are actually bi. Butch women bend gender norms and so all of the constraints people face about what "should" be don't exist so much. They know what it's like to be seen as a woman so they have appreciation for that challenge. And come on have you seen a woman in a tux.

    Because a woman isn't a man.

    No. What you are seeing is a 'butch' lesbian; like a adult tomboy, some women keep 'masculine' traits irregardless of thier orientation. Some 'femmes' are atracted to those kinds of WOMEN while still having no interest in men.

    It has to do with body parts. A woman can dress more masculine but they still have vaginas and breasts. Lesbians are attracted to those body parts. It has nothing to do with masculinity or femininity. Just like there are femme couples, butch couples, butch/femme couples, andro couples etc.
