AA would I regret asking Canadian loads of what?

Minouners said:I wasn't necessarily saying that I needed to know if a woman was a lesbian to approach her. My question was mostly out of curiosity but yes, I must say that I am shy about it. Reason being, I've never been with a woman and I'm not sure how to present myself so I get all tongue tied and look like an idiot!
Minouners said:I hope this doesn't come off as sounding ignorant because that is not my intention but when women put their collar up when wearing a shirt, is that some sort of indication that they are lesbians?
I have seen a few women do it and was obviously too shy to ask about it so I thought my fellow Literoticans could help me out.
So collar up = lesbian????![]()
nici said:Sincerity in your interests, and who ever you approach (tongue tied or not), their gaydar should be all they need.
I can understand symbolisms used if you want to make a definite statement to straights, but secret society? Who needs that? Talk to me, and I’ll listen. Don’t talk, and I won’t. Anyway, it’s easy to go out and buy jewelry or clothing, anyone can do that.

Darla_Darling said:I've noticed this too. It's a butch thing: an attempt at psuedo-machismo. It's following the recent trend of masculine football-obsessed meathead men to wear sports shirts with the collars turned up. I find it totally unattractive when worn by either sex.
PS You are lovely and gorgeous.

Minouners said:I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seen this!! I am not alone!So it is a trend... you're right, it's not attractive at all.
PS You are very gorgeous yourself... meow!![]()
Terra_Cide said:I just observed something in my own av and realized the answer may even be more obvious than the ones that have been theorized here.
If you notice in my av, the collar of my jacket is turn up. Secret code? Hardly. It was a cold, very windy day (in the Muskokas, for the Canadians who are playing), and me having hair too short to cover my neck was freezing. The solution? Well, other than going back to the cabin (heh, duh!), I just flipped my collar up to protect my neck. It was our last full day there, and the sun on the foliage was so nice we had to get some pictures.
So there you have it. Maybe it can be less metaphorical than the meaning we assign it.

Minouners said:I wish I had gaydar... I don't... Is there any way to gain it?? I know that might sound ridiculous but I'm just curious.
Thanks for sharing that opinion, it makes a lot of sense... it's true that anyone can buy jewelry or clothing!
Thanks hun!![]()
nici said:Gain gaydar? I don’t know…
Maybe, being able to use your gaydar is something you have to learn. You have to want to see the subtle signals and body language being set out. I feel, once you start looking for signals, you’ll learn to know the right ones, just like with those small signals your lover gives you during lovemaking.
Darla, your so right! Having your collar turned up is a macho thing, so someone wanting to play butch would maybe even unconsciously try to send out signals like that.
Not that that would make them lez or even bi, just they want to send out a signal of feeling aggressive and tough… macho. You’d have to look for other signals to know. They could be butch, femme or even straight for that matter.

Darla_Darling said:My best friend Sarah swears that every woman she has ever been attracted to has turned out to be gay. Of course, this means that every time we're walking through town and her eyes happen to alight on a pretty girl at a cafe, that girl must be gay, according to Sarah. I think this just might have something to do with wishful thinking on her part, but I've never been able to prove her wrong!
I guess if I'm trying to work out if a girl is gay or straight, I'll engage her in conversation and try to work out what sort of books, movies and music she's into. I mean, if she is obsessed with JD from Le Tigre, her favourite book is Tipping the Velvet and she really dug Better than Chocolate, not that I want to stereotype here, but I'd say there's a fair chance she has sapphic leanings.
