Are butches really a dying breed?

How many of those butches live in Boise, Idaho?

*crickets* Not very many.


Maybe the lesbian population is larger than that, but it seems to me that most women are looking for someone to join them and their man in a threeway.

On this site we have lots of dreamy people, but in Boise I don't see butches looking for femmes for romance and commitment.

Before I jump to any conclusions, I will give you the benefit of the doubt: did you just pack a couple of thoughts in one sentence?

I am referring to: "Maybe the lesbian population is larger than that, but it seems to me that most women are looking for someone to join them and their man in a threeway".

I am figuring you didn't mean lesbians were looking to join a straight couple in a three-way?

In regards to the scarcity of butches, I think that we need to get more creative in finding each other, since they don't generally knock on your door ( unless you invite them over).

Butches will never be a dying breed and neither will femmes; we are the other half of each other in this yin/yang dynamic that our souls need!
