Why I Love Butches

Recently, I asked all of you to share the reasons why you love butches. It was a really interesting list and some of you suggested that I needed to compile it and share. One note is that this was grammatically challenging. Most of these are tweets and so not full sentences, but I tried to edit as little as possible. I did make them readable outside of Twitter and Facebook, though, and even though they aren’t all complete sentences, I added periods. Also, I’ve never cursed in a post, but a few of these need the expletive, I think, so I have left them.  Well, here you go!

Oh, and if you are a baby butch, take note. It was mentioned on more than one occasion that some of you could use a few of these tips.

OUR HANDS & ARMS

• Big, giant, strong hands to pick me up and fuck me. Number one reason.
• Looking at her strong hands and knowing where they can take me…
• Strong hands on the small of my back guiding me through a crowded room.
• She runs her fingers through my hair, gently pulling my head back, and kisses my neck.
• The contrast of her big rough hands on my smooth skin.
• The way she holds me and the way she takes my hand in hers.
• Butch hands, butch style, butch lips!
• Arms strong enough to carry me to her bed, hands strong enough to pin my wrists even when I arch my back.
• Strong hands that silently promise to always keep me safe.
• The safety that can always be found in their big strong arms.

Butches: Femmes are loving how strong we are. Also, they notice our hands, so maybe keep them clean?

OUR FASHION

• How amazing she looks in a 3 piece suit with a bow tie and how that bow tie comes in handy after dark.
• How she looks in a made-to-measure three piece suit.
• She’s not into suits, but she knows that you have a thing for them and so she wears them for you.
• Suits and boobs!
• A surprise trashy bra under her suit.
• Purple dress shirts and vests.
• Three words. Ties. Cufflinks. Vests.
• Bow ties that I can untie…
• French cuff dress shirts & cuff links.
• Ties, button down shirts, blazers, belts, shoes, watches.
• Ass kicking boots!
• Short, well maintained hair.
• Nothing quite as appealing as a dapper butch.

Butches: Get the picture here? There is major action to be gotten by dressing up, buttoning down, and tying that bow tie.

GENERAL

• I like how how attentive she is when I make her breakfast.
• When she let’s you ramble on and on about your day…and actually listens.
• They use the word asshats to make sad femmes laugh out loud.
• How intently she listens to me when I speak.
• Her patience while I get ready.
• When a straight man says, “why not date a real man?” I can say, anything you can do, she can do better!

• The softer side only shown in the safety and confidence of a loved one.
• The dynamic that can only be shared between a butch and a femme.

• The way butches interact with children when they think no one is watching: let go, act silly and carefree! *swoon*
• Strong facial features with a hint of softness.

Butches: Listen, be patient, and let those lovely femmes see your softer side. Apparently, they like it. What a relief! It’s hard to be tough all the time.

PUPPIES (Yes, really.)

• They get puppies for their little girls..
• They give a puppy-less femme a late nite puppy fix.
• She selflessly offers to share adorable puppy to serve as mascot.

Butches: If you can pull it off responsibly, there are points to be scored here.

SWAGGER

• Confidence, because she’s out every moment & has to deal with things I never will.
• Her unapologetic presence and self confidence.
• Outward self confidence and undeniable presence.

I have to say that first one almost makes me cry. It’s true, and it’s exhausting. So nice to be appreciated for it.

CHIVALRY

• Having a butch find out no one has ever bought you flowers before & them being more pissed off than you.
• She is gallant enough to allow an inattentive femme to save face.
• Old-school butch style, old-school butch manners.
• The way she makes me feel like the only woman in the world worth noticing.
• The silent possessiveness of her presence when we’re on a date.
• Gentlebutch manners. Attentive. Femmes first.
• How she opens the door for me, closes my car door, all those little things.
• How she guides me with a hand on the small of my back as we walk.
• I love butch gentlemanly attention, tenderness, tough demeanor, lovely manners to start…
• The effort she makes to ensure I don’t get wet from puddles and the way she walks.

I am so glad the femmes notice! Young butches: Open the doors for your femme – unless she tells you not to.

Coming soon, the same inventory for Why I love Femmes. Given this list, it is obvious the femmes and sometimes butches love us for all that makes us butch. So, I guess that means that it’s Butch to Be Butch. Be Butch.
