Do lesbians get jealous?

I origionally asked this in the topic do lesbians look at other girls the way that men do but then realized where that topic awas located and did my best to delete it (is there a way for me to completly delete something I post by the way?)

Reading said topic I see there are several lesbians that check out other women (thanks girls for clearing that up) and wonder, What if you feel the girl is prettier than you? Do ya'll get jealous of each other?

 

I can't see why lesbians wouldn't get jealous of that, they are just women at the end of the day. I think the exception to that would be butch lesbians. As they probably place far less emphasis on their looks than the average woman. At any rate, not looking beautiful and pretty wouldn't be a problem for them. But I imagine feminine lesbians place just as much importance on their own physical beauty as straight women do.

 

The lesbian couple that I used to work with were the most jealous people I've ever met in the whole world. Jesus Christ.

 

This. ALL the ones I know are MUCH worse than straight couples.

They even flirt with blokes to get their partners jealous, its quite funny to watch

 

And they also always seem to be over-the-top dramatic when it comes to relationship problems and being pissed at each other. lol

 

yeah i can identify with this in my own relationship.

 

This would depend on the person not their sexual preference. I'm not necessarily a jealous person but I am possessive to a point.

 

I agree with Ramona lesbians are the most jealous it's terribly annoying

 

Agreed. I don't think lesbians are any more or less jealous than heterosexual women. That anyone could really believe that their own very limited experience of lesbian couples, means they can judge lesbians as a whole from that, is just mind boggling.

 

What a silly question.
Might as well have asked if Lesbians are human.

 

Is it is it really

 

It is, yes it is really.

 

You guys sound like a pack of bitches! Invisible soul is completely right, I don't think it matters on the gender of the relationship, born a jealous person = always a jealous person.

 

Are lesbians human? Yes.

 

There is not a single negative personality trait that is exclusive to gay, lesbian, or heterosexual people only.

 

I'd define homophobia as a negative personality trait ... and I believe that it is exclusive to heterosexual people.

That apart, I agree with you there.

 

I would love to believe that lesbians are of what is considered a "normal" amount of jealousy. However, in my experience lesbian couples that I know tend to be more jealous then average straight or gay couples. Not only that, but they also tend to move to fast in relationships and seem to thrive off the drama they cause each other. Again, just an observation of my surroundings. I would love to be proved wrong one day.

 

I actually did think of that before I made that post. But seeing as the gay community itself isn't free from bigoted and prejudicial attitudes within it, I decided not to list that as a negative personality trait exclusive only to heterosexuals. I have heard some gay people attacking those of a more flamboyant, camp, persuasion, which isn't really any different to hetero homophobia really. Irrational hatred and bigotry (which is all homophobia is) are not traits exclusive to heterosexuals. In fact, it's worse when gay people have those traits, as they really should know better, being as they are regular targets for bigotry themselves.

 

I guess people here need to learn how to read again. I just simply stated the lesbian couple I used to work with were the most jealous people I've ever met. I didn't say anything about this covering the basis of all lesbians. But thanks a lot for making it sound that way and then acting like my post was just oh so horrible! God forbid I cite just one experience I've had!

And if anyone is referring to me being homophobic...well...damn, maybe you should read a few of my past posts and learn a little bit about me.

 

A friend of mine and I went over to see his ex bossfrom where he used to work which is a lesiban and when he tried to kiss her his ex bosses girlfriend slamed him in the floor and was beating the shit out of him. they do get jelious

 

it's an interesting observation

because strait women look at pretty girls and may become jealous

presumably however gay women would look at pretty girls and be attracted to them

so who knows.

because of their objectivity regarding to their spouse and what they may find attractive

since they both enjoy the same sex

i'd wager committed partners could become jealous of somebody prettier

who could cause a legitimate threat - at least in their eyes.
