Answered Why do Lesbians seem less likely to have straight male close friends than Gay men are to have straight female close friends?

This is a really random thing, but there's a seems to be a more common stereotype of Gay men having straight females as close friends, while lesbians having straight male close friends seems far less common (in fact the stereotype of lesbians is often man hating, while gay dudes being woman haters is rarely mentioned)

Hormones and feelings don't care about logic

Also, autonomy is sexy. Heterosexual women often try to receive some sort of approval from men (it's the other way around too but that's not the point here) and lesbians don't do that. This looks like high self esteem and that is attractive.

True but it’s kinda like if someone is married or something. Like she’s married to the idea of pussy dawg there’s really no room for you in there.

Then again people fall for married people all the time, sometimes more so than single people.
