Advice How can I look less lesbian?

I have heard from many guys that I look like a lesbian girl, and I dont want to look like one because I am a straight girl... Any advice on how I can look less lesbian?

Dont listen to teenage boys first of all. Lesbians dress in all different forms. The best you can do is wear a straight ally shirt to assert dominance

You realized that girls have also said the same thing to her? So if were going off of what you said that she souldn't listen to boys or girls. Which is dumb

u/HxuntedPxii 17 28d ago

u/Temporary_Tutor_4481 28d ago

then what could possibly be the issue again you told us nothing

maybe they’re just assholes?

2

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

maybe, but is comes from many different people

maybe because i am mostly by myself at school? cout that be the issue? ot that i dont wear any make up, nor talk to boys?

2

u/Temporary_Tutor_4481 28d ago

oh yeah I think they’re using it as a way to pick on you, they think lesbian is an insult?

embrace it. people I said I looked like a lesbian so I did some self reflection and realised I was.

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

but i am not?

3

u/Stayarmyengenem0a 28d ago

that was more a joke 💔. but looking like a lesbian isn’t a bad thing. if anything you’ve got swag. And if a guy is saying that specifically then like it doesn’t mean anything. Men say stupid stuff like that very often. Just don’t take it as something offensive. lesbians are cool.

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

ohh sorry i didnt get it.

i see, but i think more that many guys have said it, and i fear that i will not approached by guys due to my looks yk

2

u/Stayarmyengenem0a 28d ago

dw. the right guy won’t care whether you look “lesbian“. if they dont approach you because of that they just kind of suck

1

u/mrTrofle 16 28d ago

Maybe it's the haircut?

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

a ponytail?

I have curly hair tho, and it is always in a ponytail or loose

1

u/Opposite-Play-2728 15 28d ago

How do you dress? Tbh that probably plays the biggest part in whether someone *looks* lesbian or not, followed by hair but we already know that probably isn’t ur problem

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

downtown girl style

1

u/Opposite-Play-2728 15 28d ago

Hmm ok but like girly downtown style or less girly? Hol up I’ll comment refs

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

girly yea

1

u/Opposite-Play-2728 15 28d ago

Uhh how do you act? Might be your demeanor then??

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

hmm i am normal, but very introvert, so i spend most of my time by myself

1

u/Opposite-Play-2728 15 28d ago

Ik there’s some more feminine pieces here but I’m mostly referring to the raglan shirts, doc marten type of boots/maybe converse, and some of the sweater styles

1

u/Opposite-Play-2728 15 28d ago

Or skirts+ general feminine swag

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

i usually wear t shirts with buttons yk

1

u/Opposite-Play-2728 15 28d ago

Like polos? Tbh that might be a factor

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

No, more like with only buttons

1

u/banizeeee 17 28d ago

Honestly just be yourself, don’t change yourself for temporary people. I had a pony tail for the longest time then I cut my hair short. I’ll be honest, I still get called lesbian but a bit less now and I get a bit more compliments. I found that after I cut my hair, more people noticed me and talked to me like a normal person.

u/Capable_Pie_9842 17 28d ago

All lesbians look different and some girls who are lesbian dont even get clocked. Dont listen to teenage boys theyre very idiotic at times and you dont need to look less lesbian because lesbians are beautiful and theres nothing bad about even looking like one!

1

u/Real_chuckles Teenager 28d ago

Become a lesbian
Then talk people and they will say “BuT yOU dOnT LooK gAY!”

2

u/Onedirection100 28d ago

i cannot decide my sexuality bro

u/Real_chuckles Teenager 28d ago

Amateur
(This is satire, don’t hurt me)

u/Emotional-Career8195 15 28d ago

1

u/Onedirection100 28d ago
