I have a friend who's in the fitness industry. She has a shaved head, wears masculine clothes, and is sort of terrifying to those who don't know her because she's ripped. She's also straight, and gets all giggly like a little girl when she gets crushes on guys.

As others have mentioned, don't assume that because a woman was butch that she is a lesbian. There are effeminate men who like women, and butch women who like men.

Other reasons? She was zoned out and didn't realize she was staring at you. You had something in your teeth. You were looking at her funny. She was wondering where you got your sweater. Or any of the other millions of reasons why one person might stare at another.

Thanks for the the response no matter your viewpoint

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
