Why men like lesbians

Q: I am a year-old Italian bloke, percent straight, sensitive and sporty. I have been reading Savage Love for years in Internazionale. I have one question for you: Why do I always fall in love with lesbians? Why do I instantly fall in love with girls who have that something more in their eyes? Something melancholy and perhaps insecure? Girls whom I’d rather defend and embrace than take to bed? The last three girls who fit this description all turned out to be lesbians. The last girl with whom this happened told me it was my “Red Cross” mind-set that made me drop in love with girls who are insecure/sad/melancholy, so I have a sort of selection bias that excludes most straight girls I meet. I perform not believe this, because the earth is full of straight girls who need saving. So why then, Dan? WHY? I possess a girlfriend. I truly love her. Since September, we have been living in two diverse cities because she went away to study. I am afraid that one day she is going to explain me she’s same-sex attracted too. She always talks with me about a fresh supercute female acquaintance. Is she a lesbian? I possess recentl

The Op says it all.

Mods - this is not a jokey / crappy / playboy-advisory question. I really want the psychological answer - if there is one beyond “Who cares? They’re great !”

Thanks all.

I can think of two possible reasons:

The potential for voyeurism (which I’ve heard is most men’s greatest fantasy :));

or

Same reason women like gay men - they genuinely favor friendship with members of the opposite sex, without the risk of sex spoiling things.

This controversial study claims lesbians are attracted to women because 'men get turned on by it'

A recent study, which looked into the origins of lesbianism, is claiming women are only attracted to other women because it turns men on. Yes, seriously. You're hearing me correctly.

Pink News reports researchers are the University of Nicosia, in Cyprus, are controversially claiming that same sex attraction in women only developed because apparently, men get turned on thinking about women having sex. I can't even. Weirdly, the scientists studied 1, heterosexual couples (sure) and found the following

Around half of the male participants said they'd become sexually aroused if their opposite-sex partners told them they were attracted to women. And 34% of men said they would most like their female loved one to be attracted “predominantly to members of the opposite-sex but occasionally of the same-sex”. Does this sound like straight-up fetishising to anyone else?

Another feasible reason for men searching out women who were also attracted to women, according to the analyze, is that

A study titled “Attitudes Toward Stereotypical Versus Counterstereotypical Gay Men and Lesbians” tests whether heterosexual men and heterosexual women’s attitudes toward homosexuals “would vary as a function of three factors: (a) the sex of the participant, (b) the sex of the homosexual target, and (c) the homosexual target’s masculinity or femininity” (Cohen, Tuttle, and Hall ). In the sample of fifty-three heterosexual college students, participants were asked to read the traits surveys of two fictitious queer students, either two men or two women. In each pair, one exhibited “masculine” qualities—“interests and extracurricular activities, personality traits, and an academic major that are more commonly associated with heterosexual men” ()—and one exhibited “feminine” qualities—the same criteria, but those most often associated with heterosexual women. Though participants read only descriptions of either two women or two men, the descriptions were identical across “masculine” and “feminine” targets. The respondents were asked to rate the likability of each fictitious h
