When hetro couples start to date there is always this thing that women have to do because we have a lot to lose by getting involved too quickly with a man. But even at first there is always that thing where we have to judge if the man wants us for just sex or perhaps even harm us. It takes us a while to get past all of this "stuff" before we will even consider getting serious. We really have to know (as best we can their intentions). It takes a while to peel through all the outer layers before we let ourselves get seriously involved. There was a study once that found that for most women, it takes at least 7 or more encounters with a man before they will feel "in love". Where as most men say it usually only takes 1-3. Men (generally speaking) have a lot less to risk getting involved with women then the other way around.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;However, when women date women there is a whole layer of "stuff" generally speaking that we don't have to get through first. Most women can become very intimate (emotionally) very quickly with other women much sooner than they would with men (comparatively).&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Because of this, we can know fairly quickly how we feel about another women. We can fall in love much quicker than hetro couples due to what I mentioned above, therefore, the u-haul joke, as funny as it is, is really not too far off the mark. (of course there is exceptions to everything, but for the most part I think this is pretty valid.)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553107808744980875/4281983190010065444/comments/default/4227512496038408937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553107808744980875/4281983190010065444/comments/default/4227512496038408937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.lesbiatopia.com/2008/01/theories-on-lesbian-u-haul-phenomena.html?showComment=1208907310932#c4227512496038408937' title=''/><author><name>fallwitch</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.lesbiatopia.com/2008/01/theories-on-lesbian-u-haul-phenomena.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-4281983190010065444' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8553107808744980875/posts/default/4281983190010065444' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-7488778897230142214</id><published>2008-01-27T23:43:45.737-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-27T23:43:45.737-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cat...
