I was going through my Deviant Art feed, and found that I was 'liking' mostly girls who were borderline butch. I have nothing against this sort of girl, or woman really; it's not their 'butchness' or 'femmeness' that grabs my attention; I'm almost embarrassed to use those words—they seem to be words that were invented to help writers who focus on lesbian relationships in a sort of formulaic way. I've met butch-style girls who are mean as hell, and other butch-style girls who are just adorable. On the other hand, I've met femme women who are really cold and aloof, and other femmes who were really sweet.
I've recently begun a sort of regular activity, and there are guys and gals there, who are—for the most part—friendly and welcoming. One of the women is an ultra-femme type girl, who always comes over and shares a smile and a friendly word. I don't think she's looking for a relationship; she's in one already. There are all types of women in the group—and guys, too—but hardly any romantic pairings.
I'll stop here; I think I'll report some more on my observations once I have a few interesting ones to talk about!

P.S. Kylie Welker! This is a girl who wrestled for the University of Iowa ('Hawkeyes') team. She looks totally adorable! The best of luck, KW!
N.B. : I don't mean to imply that Kylie is a butch at all! That's her business completely, and I don't want to interfere with her life at all; life is hard enough for women, without the added complication of being—possibly erroneously—mistaken for someone who is queer.
