What are characteristics of Stone Butch?  I am asking because this is the first time I have been attracted to a female and she is a stone butch. I want to make things work, but am afraid I am ignorant on what the title means besides the standard definitions.
<div class="sig">Advice Please. Does she like me?</div>

I'm not sure what the term means, but if you you're attracted to her, have you asked her out?

Stone Butch means slightly different things to different people. (Just like all labels.) But generally stone butch is defined as a woman who is very masculine in appearance and sometimes (but not always) identifies more as a man than a woman. Some stone butches refer to themselves with male pronouns, some are comfortable identifying as female but still relate more to male interests and mindsets. Sexually, Stone Butch generally means someone who gets pleasure from giving not receiving. Every individuals boundaries are unique and the most important thing you can do in any relationship (but especially in a relationship with a stone butch) is to establish what they are comfortable with.

If you'd like to discuss dating a stone butch in more detail, I'd be happy to talk with you privately. I'm in a wonderful relationship with a woman who usually identifies as stone butch, and I know I had a lot of questions in the beginning. You can email me through my profile if you'd like more detailed answers to the questions you asked here or any other questions.

Good luck!

Here is an essay written by a stone butch where she defines what it means to her...

"I am a Stone Butch. Stone in this case meaning "very". I was born female but Butch is my gender; the two gender system described by the word "woman" does not fit me at all. "Man" fits much better but it is not a perfect fit either. I am not a male but you can call me "sir" and use masculine pronouns of "he" and "him". Don't call me woman, wimin, womyn, gal, lady, girl or ma'am. Ever."

Happily married to Shelly

"To be married means we belong with someone else, that we are no longer always alone, ... that there is a parallel presence and spirit in all that we undertake. We are bridled, connected, attended. We move in the midst of the aura, the welcoming soul-filling presence of another human being...

Because we know we are loved, we can step beyond our fears; because we have been chosen, we can transcend our insecurities. We can make mistakes, knowing we will not be cast out; take missteps, knowing someone will be there to catch us. And because mistakes and missteps are the stuff of change, of expansion, in marriage we can expand to our fullest capacity; in marriage we can heal."

quoted from Weddings from the Heart, Daphne Kingma

 "Expect your every need to be met, expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level, expect to grow spiritually. You are not living by human laws. Expect miracles and see them take place. Hold ever before you the thought of prosperity and abundance, and know that doing so sets in motion forces that will bring it into being."

--Simple Abundance, Sarah Ban Breathnach
