Because lesbians, in most mens opinion (including mine) are really hot. Gay guys, are not as hot in most women's opinion (or at least the girls that I know).

Straight guys are naturally attracted to women, straight or gay. Straight guys are not naturally attracted to other guys, straight or otherwise. So it is hardly surprising they show a leniency towards gay women.

It biological, but somewhat irrational. If a man sees 2 women together at his base animal level he sees the opportunity to mate with more than one female at the same time, thereby increasing the chances of having offspring. But true lesbians who have no interest whatsoever in men would not be candidates for that type of scenario. Women at their base animal level do not perceive gay men as potential mates, but rather as co-nurturers for their offspring or potential competitors for the attention of the other males. In that sense, in a male dominated, base-minded society, bisexual women are more accepted than bisexual men, and homosexual men and women. It's not exactly logical in our day and age though considering that for the most part we've graduated past our base instincts and can choose for ourselves the flavor of our lives.

Because straight men are under the mistaken notion that lesbians are just practicing, waiting for them to come along and give them "real" sex. Therefore lesbians are "hot" and not "threatening" to their masculinity. And we all know straight guys are in the most positions of power . . . . Of course, honestly, I have no desire to "convert" a straight guy, since he's probably not very good at it. I much prefer a well-practiced homosexual. :o) So I don't know why so many straight men feel threatened by gay men. We really aren't after you.

No matter what this is an opinion. Women have nice curvy breasts and hips and look good with make up etc. And if 2 of them make out in public it seem nicer than, 2 hairy, whisker faced men kissing each other.

i dunno but my opinion is who cares who is ghey and lesbian

I find gay guys...not so attractive. Only because I'd rather see too lesbians with curves boobies and booties pushing up against eachother than two flat chested,and long sticks makin fire.Just not my cup of tea. Sowwwy :-(

Because men don't really care if they have a gay daugher, but not too many men would be happy about having a gay son.

I think it has as much to do with the MIND as it does the BODY. Before a guy is GAY...HE'S A GUY... Men are taught that it is more expected and "natural" to be sexually aggressive...no matter what their preferences are. All men know this... While what I'm saying assuredly has its extremes...in both directions and has exceptions to "the rule" I maintain that GENERALLY SPEAKING....Men KNOW (to a point) how other men feel about sex..no matter WHO you are attracted to. Knowing this...what is IT? What's the basic line of thought? That pushing your sexual agenda is normal and healthy. Weather you choose to do it openly, or with subtle hints and gentle manipulations...it is "what guys do" they look for opportunities. (and NO I am not discounting a man who wants LOVE with his sexual fulfillment...they are out there and they are straight and gay) Some men are classic HORN-DAWGS...they'd screw a snake if you held the head still...THESE men are also Straight and Gay. Some men do not respect other people's boundaries ...they are purely opportunistic and believe they are in the right to push their sexual feelings on whoever they believe they are sexually attracted to. Now, if STRAIGHT MEN KNOW that there are MEN who feel this way...and if some of those men are GAY...How is that going to make THEM feel? Uncomfortable to say the least, I would think. It may make some of them angry too and fearful on some levels...what if they find they are having sexual feelings or are curious? What the hell are they supposed to do then? Most people ARE curious about the unknown... especially if it might "feel good" in some provocative way. This then sets them up mentally and emotionally to experience a whole CHAIN of feelings that can be VERY uncomfortable and threaten everything they have been taught to believe and feel about themselves and what being A MAN is supposed to mean. Add to the mix...that the individual man...IS NOT attracted at all to other men! Lesbians on the other hand are easy for Men to deal with. There are lesbians who HATE MEN...some hate all men, some hate only certain TYPES of men. (These TYPES are the sorts that MOST people would not generally care for, or would tend to disagree with their though processes.) We are easier for Men to categorize us. Emotionally, we are NOT too threatening...after all, if we reject the straight male...he can easily comfort himself with the thought..."well, what did I expect? She's a Lesbo after all! It ain't got nothing to do with ME!" And of course as so delicately mentioned in other posts....Many lesbians now a days are so much less "stereotypical" than in the early days. Many Lesbians are more comfortable with themselves in looking like "a woman." We stigmatize ourselves a whole lot less for wearing dresses, heels, makeup, than the Lesbians did in say the 40's and 50's when it was more a matter of how you presented yourself that counted... Even when I first came out 20 years ago, one of the premier questions asked was, "So, who's the guy?" Well, once upon a time...it was accepted that one of the two WOULD BE expected to be "more male" and the other more female in role playing. Those days are fast dying out. We ALLOW OURSELVES to be both STRONG...and SENSITIVE in how we relate to each other...we are learning NOT TO judge ourselves. We are learning that it's ok to be physically strong, and have beautiful nails...to be mentally strong and also be accepting of support when we need it. I also think there are more Lesbians now...who do not just "hate men" they simply LOVE Womym!

I think its because there is already a shortage of men in this world so females like lesbians more...less competition :=) I tell my gay friends all the time, that I am so jealous of them becuase they seem to get the cuter and better guys :=)

cos its a man's world and women should be respected and loved so much.gay means abnormal.

First, I must correct you..."accepted" is the word you meant. Now to answer your question...First, there is a double standard within society due to the fact that most(as in a very large percentage) any man (straight that is) would love to see two women together in a sexual way. That percentage is much lower when you reverse the situation. Most women would not want to see two men together in a sexual way. I can only surmise this is due to the fact that two men together detracts from their masculinity which is what women admire about men. Now there are a few women that would say they wouldn't mind, but percentage-wise there is a big difference in the comparison of seeing the opposite sex with someone of the same sex. Now ask a straight woman about seeing two women together and you will get SOME women to say, it doesn't bother them or it's even a turn on. But ask a straight man about seeing two men together and NO WAY NO HOW do they want any part of it. It's just not acceptable on any level to most straight men. Also, the other reason is that alot of gay men become flamboyant as a way to deal with their homosexuality. Whereas gay women are not usually very vocal or flamboyant. You might see a few bull-dikes (gay women acting and dressing like men) but no where near as many as flamboyant gay men. It might not be that society accepts them more, rather than its not just as noticeable with gay women. Bottom line: Gay women tend to use much more discretion in not announcing their sexual preferences to the whole wide world. Hope this helps!

cause what lesbians do is what everybody wants to do/have done and a lot of what guys do is yucky?

because guys are grose and women are beautiful. it makes sence to men that lesbians would exist because of how drawn to women we are. how anyone could be drawn to a man is beyond me without mother nature saying "him or no children" is beyond me.

My guess is that women are mostly more accepting then men on those issues. Men also love lesbians, but don't love gay guys. Lesbians are therefore accepted by men and women and gay men are only really accepted by women.

Accepted by whom?

Straight guys have two basic fears: Guilt by association. If he's with one, he must be one. Reciprocation. If he receives, he will be expected to give.
