CLASSIC BUTCH

Your score placed you in the category of Classic Butch, what most people think of when they hear the term butch. You may also wish to review Feminist Butch and Boot Butch, the two categories surrounding you. In a ranking across the femme/butch gamut, if 1 is femme and 100 is butch, you fall between 76 and 83 on the scale. For a review of where you fall in the overall population in numbers, refer to this chart. Your group is fairly uncommon, the purity of your classicism unusual to find. Most straight men fall into this category as do many lesbian women who identify as butch.


You are a calmer, gentler version of the Feminist Butch. You are concerned about social issues, but prefer to watch and wait, taking the occasional safe political action such as voting or sending an e-mail opinion.

You like earning a good, safe income, often finding yourself in a paper-pushing type of job that you don't necessarily enjoy. But you endure and do well, but not excelling.

You like to treat a lady well, enjoying taking her out on a traditional date. Once married or committed though, you tend to withdraw into your own interests and take her companionship for granted. But you lean toward strong partners, who will let you know when that gets out of hand.

You like an orderly house, but your sense of taste is a bit off the trend. For clothing you go for the traditional gender-expected garb, focusing on comfort and appropriateness to the occasion.

For partners you prefer Strong Femmes or Practical Femmes. More extreme than that femmes intimidate you, and butches do not interest you. Your friends are usually other Classic or Boot Butches, with the token Androgyne or two. You prefer same-gender friends over opposite gender friends.
