Not always the case. It didn't happen with me--I still like men! However, women are more sympathetic to each other, so that's probably why.

Honestly, I think it is something that was there just under the surface all along. People never want to admit that they are attracted to the same sex. But when the right kind of hurt comes along they think that no matter what they do, nothing can be worse than this (what ever hurt they are feeling at the hand of a man). So by coming out or even just trying it out, whatever reprecussions may come from that, it can't possibly be worse than the hurt they are feeling from the man.

I think sometimes that being hurt so badly by a man makes a woman need the softness and tenderness that they think they will find in another woman. They think to themselves "I'd never treat ME (or any woman) like that!" Leading to the thought that maybe another woman wouldn't treat them badly as well since another woman would understand her pain...
They fail to realize that women can be just as brutal as men. It's the person, not the gender of the person that matters.
Every relationship my lesbian sister has been in has been with a woman who was formerly in an abusive relationship with a man (most of them having children with the men as well). It's her pattern. I think she likes to be the savior. In the end it always turns out badly though because no one likes to be thought of as the dependent weak creature needing to be saved.

Love is a game, but you cant just give up on love and give up on all men just because a few did you wrong. You will eventually find that diamond and then it will have all been worth the wait and the BS you went through.
However, it is said that a woman knows what another woman needs...

I've noticed that pattern as well. All of them perceivably unnattractive to what i've seen. Perhaps they feel men can no longer fulfill them or validate them. In a sense taking what they can get. The pursuit of happiness.

Because a lot of the time they realize that other women understand them more and share the same emotions.

i'm not sure exactly what you mean, but i think you mean the whole sisterhood thing. read "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti and the discussion's on it. it's a poem basically about that, sisterhood. and how men are scum. i guess women can just relate to the hurt and so they are more likely to be there for each other when it happens to a friend.

Because no one knows how to properly grieve a loss anymore. Partially because the parents don't know to teach the kids and also because the preachers are too busy trying to collect offerings to care. There's no one left to teach life skills
