Does two women linking arms while walking mean they are together (dating)?

[DanielleB23]

[MarkHrdman]

Based on the limited information youve given, no!

If 2 girls where doing it playing, you wouldn't assume they where having sex with each other but just playing.

Now if you said holding hands thats a different matter.

If it was at a wedding of a straight couple it wouldn't signify unity as a couple or even as lesbians. A friendship amongst grouping together woman for bonding.

Woman tend to flake together to show strength in numbers compared to being weak as in individual so if a male was present it more then likely for it to be an excuse to lie and say theyre lesbian lovers or for this time to say theyre partners, just to avoid an interaction to invoke fear.

It depends on how you issolate a situation but based on your context along, it doesn't include the peramiters.

However if theyre walking together with locked arms, issolated from everyone else it doesn't mean that they haven't suggested a from of unity like a business deal, ie; business partners to not be lesbians, however this would generally have some sexual reference for lesbian sexuality but at least one being the dominant while the other submissive but not likely to be locked for long with an understanding but longer then a hand shake, lol but definitely not for walking along a street.

Its more then likely that theyre both ugly because you didn't suspect them of being escorts because there is a matter of unity in the form of sister hood and its not unreasonable to think they could be locked together for a few hours of walking, fueled by intoxication after many hours of working with men by having sex with them to not be intimedated by physical bounding but to want to be more feminen, in consideration of this.

It could be also fair to say that this could be apart of the walk of shame if its in the morning which in general is the only time when woman want to be out and about.

They could however be in a relationship and linked with there arms to walk one of them to work.

None of this however implies dating and its very unlikely that this would be as part of an engagement of interaction as partners for a date which seems very odd to even mention without a long back story which more then likely could consist over many years but even then the tendency for woman would be as a friendship and not so much as a unity as a couple.

Nah... I have seen this a lot it doesn't mean anything gay... come on.

Just because we let this pride stuff dominate our culture these days (😢) doesn't mean everything has so with being gay.

But two men doing that, yeah they're GAY!!! 😆 🤣 😂

[wolfcat87]

Actually, it's common for straight men from the middle east to hold hands to show solidarity. So, it depends on the men and the culture.

[DaveJord]

@wolfcat87 This is very true.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

No, I and my friends often did that, we even hold hands when crossing streets and we are totally straight.

[xoxosilentgirl]

No, it’s just fun to do that, sometimes it’s a reflex

[Sixgunsound]

The standards for accusations of homosexuality for women are a lot higher than the standards for men, mostly due to differences in how same sex friendships operate. What would be acceptable for women, such as your example, would not be acceptable for men.

[DanielleB23]

What do you mean exactly?

[Sixgunsound]

I mean the social acceptance rate of female homosexuality is higher among both men and women, and the acceptable amount of physical contact without a specific context that women have to hug or hold hands or otherwise physically contact eachother is greater than an equivalent activity done by men would be. It's been my observation that men care more about and react more strongly to male homosexuality than women do to female homosexuality.

People usually assume things before really knowing the truth , Like judging a book by it’s cover without reading the book , Why you should never judge someone based on their looks , Why looks don’t really mean shit when it comes to someone’s heart

[lillie_mie]

No, I walk the streets hand in hand with my best friend all the time, we're both straight but overly close. She's very touchy, those who don't know us might think we're lesbians.🤣

[DanielleB23]

how touchy is she?

[RavVid]

Might or might not. I do know for a while girls would walk together holding hands to attract guys with an apparent 2 for 1 deal.

Could be the same thing but it can be just affection they have for each other.

[SassyAussieAddy]

Nah, women are just in general more affectionate with one another than men are with other men.

[Dargil]

Not necessarily, but female sexuality, unlike guys' is a mystery to me. My feeling is that a woman can remain fully heterosexual and yet cross over for a "friends with benefits" with a trusted friend.

[kellytheman]

Nah my girlfriend always link arms with her girlfriends going shopping or having a girls night out. It could just be for safety especially if they are out a night or make sure the stay together.

[Sexiestjohnson]

I think women are allowed to express love for one another as long as one of them is Christ and the other is LORD.

[Summeroflove]

They could just be friends. I mean anything is possible. Why are you worried about two women you don’t even know? They’re probably not dating

[Kabluie]

Not always, they can be BFFs.
Plus does hooking up with your BFF means you are dating? Not always either.

[RobT312]

Of course not. Friends can do that without being sexual at all.

[knottywriter]

Not at all. Plenty of my female friends do that and are not a thing, nor have any interest in being.

[LiamSawyer]

No I would think they're just really good friends.

[UniquelyBasic]

With women especially, its not really a sign theyre dating.

[Massageman]

Well, if one is taking someone else's elbow, it could mean that the second one is blind. Past that, I won't speculate.

[talka20]

If that was done here by either men or women, it won't be considered that they are dating

[bowenw]

Not necessarily in my opinion. They could be close friends.

[LiamJHayden]

No. Girls tend to be more touchy than guys. They will hold hand or link arms with male of female friends.

[motownplayer2000]

Probably not. Women are more touchy feely than men are. So naturally they would do that more than men would. most likely harmless

[syncheart]

I think when it comes to touching, women are weird. But this sounds like it to me.

[loveslongnails]

Not in my world. I see women doing that all the time.

[gothbxtch]

it could. it could also mean they’re friends, or sisters, or cousins.

[Friendlybro79]

Of course not but I'm sure some people assume these things.

[msc545]

women do this a lot who are not involved sexually with each other.

[Bklynbadboy12]

No that could mean anything girls are weird like that they be slapping each other on the but and grabbing each others boobs and everything

[Smartman5]

Not always. It's a sign of sincerity. women like to do this

[Jerre]

Not necessarily, the could just be good friends

[Anonymous]

Not necessarily, could be friends just playing, women get away with things like that without being gay

[Anonymous]

I usually do this with girl by giving her hint that I want to fuck you...
So it's a move to give her hint

[hsshannah96]

Not necessarily

[ohsheeT]

Nope means someone left the top off the super glue

[Nikki1989]

No, friends do that all the time.

[BoopBoopBeep]

No it's pretty common in much of the world

[CrimsonAngel09]

Not necessarily.

[sheenagwapa]

no they could just be best of friends...

[ProbablyClueless]

Not necessarily, no.

[Blackcupcake]

lol no, I link arms with my friends

[Malcom_Reynolds]

Not really, I wouldn't read anything into that

[DJB72]

Who the fuck knows these days.

[SingleGuy101]

As a guy I find it annoying.

[Justneedtokno]

No they could be best friends I’ve done it

[Mansearching]

Could mean they're just good friends.

[Guardian45]

In some countries, it might!

[SunnyRS]

I don't think so, a lot of women do that.

[Kathy1983]

No Sometimes it's for safety.

[Z1pTD]

Nah just means they're good friends :)

[Twalli]

No, it doesn't mean they aren't though

[TallAnon]

No, it just means they are close.

[krin_m]

Not necesssarily.

[CubaPirate]

Not necessarily but who cares tbh

[Petfan1992]

[Smashingdoozy]

[Celticwolf78]

[SnowedIn]

[helva]
