This troper and her best friend get mistaken for this all the time. Yes, we're tactile, yes, we're affectionate, and yes, we know it drives the boys mad. Stop asking me if my boyfriend knows I'm "cheating" on him.

If reality is a TV show, I am freakin' ''certain'' the group of girls at my school who are suspiciously touchy-feely are the {{fanservice}}. (They are bisexual, but I don't think there's any meaning behind it.)

Reality is a TV show.

This troper knew of a lesbian couple during his sophomore year in high school that would spend all of their time before school in the halls making out.

To the rest of you, yeah, we know, gift horse.

This troper knew quite a few girls who thought "lesbian" meant "not afraid to kiss other girls". During his entire high school tenure, he only met one genuine lesbian (that is, until a boyfriend-of-a-friend's sister this troper went to school with showed up with ''her'' girlfriend, giving rise to an exclamation of "Didn't see that one coming".

Two of this troper's female friends sometimes pretend to be SchoolgirlLesbians just to mess with people.

Stop being evil. ''Please!''

Seriously, what the fuck. You are giving the rest of us a bad name.

Chill the fuck out, you two; the OP said that it was two friends, not the OP and a friend.

Apparently. every time someone pulls a prank on others by pretending to be gay, it's homophobic. Nice job being rational.

It makes it look like you think homosexuality is a joke. Nice job appealing to ridicule.

Woah there, chill a bit and enjoy the joke. It's best not to assume that people are trying to offend you based purely on the fact that you're a lesbian. Don't get your panties in a bunch there.

There were two girls in the same highschool class as this troper who were really close (had been friends for years). They had a tendency to be quite... affectionate with each other, cuddling with each other or rubbing each other's legs in front of all the guys. A lot of it was probably done just to make guys feel uncomfortable. This troper's friends retaliated by going "lesbianslesbiansleasbians" whenever they did it infront of him.

This troper found out that a former classmate of his was bisexual when I met her lesbian girlfriend at a high school batch reunion. They were being touchy-feely when me and the lesbian friend went into a discussion about high-school issues (both our high schools were owned by the same person). Needless to say, the discussion trailed off...

As a teen, this (asexual) troper didn't know that asexuality existed and went through a period of thinking she was a lesbian. "Well, I'm not attracted to guys, so..." Yeah, it never worked out.

Asexuality exists?

So it would seem, just judging from this wiki alone.

It can, but is quite rare. Either TvTropes gets a very odd selection of people visiting (''extremely'' heavy on the asexual portion of the population), or... Well...

Well, they gotta do ''something'' with all that excess energy, right?

In answer to the above: This troper knows of one asexual (via the internet) who spends all that excess energy having lots and lots of hobbies. This supports my theory that sex/romance uses up ''way'' too much time.

I always figured they just didn't want to admit they were single and lonely.

Yes, most of them are. I'm not one of those.

That's some pretty offensive thinking, especially since it doesn't have any real basis. I mean this is the internet, where one would feel safest telling the truth anyway. We have a lot of dressing troper tales where people spill all there saddest and humiliating moments, and in light of those, lying about being single just doesn't make much sense. Of course, there could be liers, but I'm inclined to believe people when I see no reason for them to lie. And to the above that said it was rare: rare in accordance to what, statistics? I think we all know a thing or two about statistics. Hell I thought gays/bisexuals were rare until a few years ago(I only met like two in person, one was a flaming queen and the other turned out to actually be transgendered), but I certainly wouldn't question anyone who said they were now or then. Why single out asexuals as liers who just want attention?

This troper has three people in most of her classes (All female) who are like a mother and her kids. She will comfort them and hold them if they are cold or sad. It gets creepy at times...

This troper is the superego of a PowerTrio who met in an all-girl high school and have been friends since. During college, our id confessed that she had once had a crush on our ego (although she got over this after graduation). The three of us have also been mistaken as this one time or another (mainly because our id is a very affectionate person) and one time this troper and the ego were mistaken as this when the ego told a boy who was trying to ask her out that she was accompanying this troper to the beach for the weekend and he got the wrong idea. (It was this troper's birthday party and she was not the only one there). All of us are straight and this troper currently has a boyfriend.

This troper was probably the only really out person of either gender in her school. To make it even worse, she loves plaid miniskirts and wore twin-tails.

This troper hears you. Sadly she was always pretty butch in behaviour, so it was also very obvious. Fun times.

The two tropers above should exchange phone numbers. Geez get a room already.

This troper went to an all girls school. The gay:straight ratio in my friendship group was the opposite of that of the population at large. We planted younger members of the school to collect the rumours about which of us was sleeping/having a threesome with who/which teacher(s), and every now and again planted our own when they weren't fabulous enough.

This troper also goes to an all-girls school. Coming from a NoHuggingNoKissing type of co-ed school, she had a bit of a culture shock when half the girls in her class had up to seven 'lesbian boyfriends', 'wives', and even adopted junior students as their ''children''. She was mortified when the school board had to resort to a full-fledged campaign to prevent SchoolgirlLesbians, complete with a talk from the school counsellor.

This troper's school had the same problem. It got kinda weird.

People want to stop others from being lesbians?

OP: Unfortunately. Apparently, it was starting to give our school a bad name (which might not be the students' fault; if you rearrange the acronym of our school's name you get Lesbian Schoolgirl Club.) I posted that a year or two ago, and since then the situation's only gotten more widespread. I reckon we've had four suspensions for 'indecent behaviour' this year alone.

Yeah. While boys and girls who want to be extreme know enough to sneak into the bathroom, a large part of SchoolGirlLesbians is to show off, and do so in public.

This troper once ran into a pair of these on his way to Physics class. Once I got to the door I noticed that it was locked so he turned around to wait for the teacher, and lo and behold two girls making out right in the corner. I quickly turned around to avoid becoming a deer caught in the headlights, blushing furiously. Luckily the girls didn't notice me.

For some odd reason, this troper's private school had gained a reputation for this, to the point that it had become a running gag. However, in order to 'combat' this, the Headmistress forbade anyone from going to the senior social (a prom, basically) unless you had a male partner. You weren't even allowed to go alone, because then you might meet your girlfriend inside! This was greeted with complete confusion and annoyance from all the students.

Was there a rule about ''staying'' all evening with said male partner? Because if not, I see an obvious loophole...

Some regulars at the store where This Troper works included a pair of cute but annoying girls (they looked cute, but their emo style of dress was irritating to this Goth Troper; and let's not start about the time their public cuddling got to "Get a room, people!" proportions, which prompted one otherwise open-minded manager to politely ask them to please tone it down, whereupon they started yelling at him, accusing him of being "OMG TEH [=H0M0PH0B=]!!111"), who almost seemed to be trying too hard to be lesbians: the way they squeed over This Troper's very handsome male supervisor was a bit counter-intuitive, ala the "Lesbians!" parody strip of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy squeeing over Batman in the next-to-the-last panel.

You know, you'd think that goths, of all people, would know better than to judge based on somebody's style of dress.

Is there really that big of a difference between emo and goth?

Emo: http://tiny.cc/uBrDn Goth: http://tiny.cc/uYRh7

Why are you annoyed by emos so badly? What have they ever done to anyone?

As the troper a few lines up shows the public thinks the two subcultures are the same and many Goths get tired of being seen as attention-seeking, self-harming, overly emotional teenagers when none of that is part of their subculture. So I guess you could say that Emos give Goths a 'bad name'.

The public is just as wrong about emos as goths. You can SI without being emo, being emo doesn't automatically mean you SI, and I've never seen any evidence to link rates of SI with the emo subculture. Then again, if someone has sources...

In this troper's school, the emos are the most outspoken,fickle, annoying kids in school. Wile the goths are very different, also far and few. Plus goths came first...

Goth is an offshoot of punk. Does that mean punk is automatically better?

Heh...one of my female friends is a non-practicing Muslim (she's one by birth, that's it) and we always joke that she has many wives...her wives being all the girls in our group XD really confuses people who aren't used to it. Plus because she's TINY, I always tend to cuddle her if she's upset...which has led to a few odd looks. Hehe.

Oh, was ''that'' what all the other girls in my class were up to? Explains a lot- they even adopted a couple of guys as grandsons. Yes, you read that right.

This troper was rejected by a girl at school when he asked her out on a date, because she already had a girlfriend. This troper did not see it coming, but because of that experience he knows that most lesbians are not the Frank Miller EveryoneIsBi type. This troper is still lonely and hasn't found a girlfriend yet, and is worried he only falls for girls who are already taken or are genuine lesbians.

This Troper is the same kind of lonely - I have just been dumped by the second boy in a row to realise that he was gay after dating me. I'm terrified that I only fall for the gay ones.

I know two people that are like this. Indirect kiss? Check. Incredibly close to each other? Check. ''Allergic to nut products?'' I wish I was making that up... but then one of them turned out to be straight after all. ''Damn it...''

This troper and her best friend have known each other since they were babies. They've been like this since they were about 4 years old.

This Troper and her girlfriend were both this, though not at the same time.

Before this troper really understood what homosexuality was, she used to have one of her friends sit on her lap and cuddle with her. Ironically, this troper is now a proud bisexual.

That's not, by its correct definition, ironic...

She has also had many, many crushes on female childhood friends without even realizing it.

Oh my god, are you me? *see entry directly below* I would always ask my best friend to hold hands with me all the time before I knew that I was bi. When she moved away two or three years later, I realized that she was my first real childhood love.

Eh heh heh heh... *cries*. This troper is a Schoolgirl Bisexual. But a real and genuine Schoolgirl Bisexual, with a 90% female preference. The only reason that she identifies as bi and not lesbian is because while, for the most part, this troper likes girls, she also finds the occasional guy she's attracted to as well. HOWEVER, NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND THIS. She's either pegged as a fake bisexual or a lesbian-- and when she even mentions attraction to guys around people who think she's lesbian, she gets crucified. It's verrrrry exasperating.

Come sit by me, honey. :(

That sounds like me... Only I haven't come out yet. I've decided that when I do, I'll just come out as a lesbian (for now, at least) because otherwise, I don't think anyone would understand...

This troper's group of friends is her Deep South's group of Schoolgirl (and one Schoolboy) Bisexuals. NONE of us are attracted to each other. It is not fun. On the bright side, it's easy to identify who you could date, if only you liked each other.

Averted by this Les Troper: only had lesbian contact outside of school-life (like, you know, in gay bars). Even though I've always been in classes where the majority is female, {{SchoolgirlLesbians}} is, unfortunately, not a trope in the small european country I live in.

This Troper's best friend was the only lesbian girl in our high school. People used to think we were a couple, cause I never had any boyfriends, but I just wasnt interested....I think im asexual

This troper hit on one during one of our "leadership seminars" back in college. We had finished day 2 and we were knocking back a few beers and I was feeling tipsy already. I chatted up this girl and she was all "I like other chicks, didn't you know?" My reaction became an instant classic: "I do know, the question is do you know?"

At my school there are these two girls that are REALLY obviously SchoolgirlLesbians, but I was the only one who ever noticed. This one time I got G Rated Drunk on Halloween Candy and commented on the matter to another guy. He looked at them, thought for a few seconds, and broke out laughing. I never told anyone else and neither did he, but he always thought they were hilarious from that day on-he was the only other guy from that point on who noticed them.

Aren't half of these MistakenForGay?

This troper and her friend are mistaken for this alot. It dosn't help that we ocaisionaly act it, and even call ourselves the seme (myself) and uke (my friend). Though this troper is Bi, shes pretty sure her friend is straight.

All girls' school in general. This Catholic school girl troper saw it all. Cuddling? Check. Kissing? Check. Sitting on each others' laps? Check. Holding hands? Check. It wasn't sexual (well, for most of them) but it still was romantic as all hell.

This troper and her first girlfriend (both of us are bisexual - yes, really bisexual, not just pretending for attention or some such nonsense) were schoolgirls in high school at the time of our romance, although we kept it discrete.

This troper and her girlfriend are this, despite being in a LongDistanceRelationship. This troper is the ShrinkingViolet, {{Adorkable}} (girlfriend's words, not mine) "Neko" and the aforementioned girlfriend is a LittleMissBadass GenkiGirl "Tachi". And we avert the height rule, this troper being a HugeSchoolgirl.

This troper and her girlfriend are this, with a hell of a lot of HideYourLesbians making it a constantly eventful relationship. The girlfriend is Catholic, and we met at Catholic school, so while my parents know (liberal parenting is a godsend), hers don't. Now I'm at college two hours away, and am openly gay. She's still at home. And isn't. I love her.

This troper and her friend are *constantly* mistaken for this. We like hugging a lot, and at Cons, we do share an air mattress. But we're not this trope.

This troper and her MtF girlfriend will be after she goes through the surgery.

This troper is one, though she's rather discreet about it. Her girlfriend is also at a different school and will soon be in different cities.

lesbian}} Me and my girl}} girlfriend are this. Everyone is fine with it. on Girl is hot}} Especially the boys.

It's a running gag in this troper's all-girls high school that most of the girls are lesbians. Bisexual troper has to wonder where all these lesbians are.

This troper and her best friend from university (where I live there's no college after school, just plain boring uni) were hilariously often mistaken for this by colleagues AND professors. That we are both bisexual and out of the closet did never help. Neither did it help that I at that time was (and still am) single and loved it and she had (and still has) a boyfriend. ... guess it comes from giggling, whispering and cuddling all the time. Not to mention she ALWAYS mama'ed me and I in exchange fed her with sweets during class. I always find it amusing how a simple, close friendship is mistaken so often. Forgive me, I never minded it THAT much, I never cared - but as one troper already stated it got on me and my friend when people asked if her lover knows she's "cheating" on him. And of course people never got their minds out of the gutter when we corrected them.

This Troper's classmates are often seen like this. One couple I can't tell if they are serious or not, but the other ones are obviously joking. Nobody seems to really care, though.

This bisexual female troper is pretty sure she's being chased by one... Though this troper does not feel ready to or want to explore her own bisexuality at this point in her life, she doesn't really mind having the cute, busty {{GenkiGirl}} that seems interested in her glomp her every morning.
