i'd think it's the exact opposite, ugly overweight women are at increased risk of becoming dykes...

Are you saying women would want them?

Stop eating chocolate for a couple hours you porkers. Go for a walk more than once a month.

Almost any study on humans can be taken apart with logical tools like these.

Good, now I can safely write off lesbian women off my list without regrets.

There could be an element of having to cook for a husband and/or children that leads to weight gain (i.e., eating your own cooking; cooking foods that you like, etc.).

I do think there's some truth also to the "lesbian by default" thing mentioned above. Living in San Francisco, I meet and know lesbians who aren't that dykish but are overweight/attractive and might have chosed lesbianism because of lack of male interest.

At the same time, as much as I wish I could agree with the "it ain't like in the movies" jokes, the sad reality is that, where I live at least, there really are some drop-dead gorgeous, feminine women who have chosen lesbianism. It truly is a mental disorder in most cases. These "lipstick lesbians," perhaps because of bad parenting that they received or some other factor that I don't understand, have rejected the natural outlet for their sexuality in favor of deviancy.

Consuming High Calorie Carpet is the only answer.

No matter where I go in public these days the vast majority of women I see are fat, ill-dressed, unkempt slobs. And the men I see aren’t far behind them! It’s a pitiful sight that cannot be unseen! UGH!

Too much in between Meal MUNCHING.

Okay, which is cause and which is effect?

[RooRoobird20]

I must agree with others: I think a lot of fat women become lesbians because they can’t find men who will accept their fat bodies.

[dfwgator]

Bulldykes do seem to have lower standards.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Carpet is fattening

The findings support the argument that sexual identity should be considered as a social determinant of health.

What? Can these people be saying that being a homosexual means you suffer greatly from many physical and mental illnesses?

[dfwgator]

Well, bisexuality amongst women is in nowadays. Probably based more on the “Forbidden Fruit” aspect more than the natural attraction.

I’ve noticed this but I never said anything because I didn’t want to be called a homophobe. LOL.

Sticks and stones: I’ve been called a lot worse. Doesn’t hurt a bit!
