Are lesbian women (mostly masc/butch) as shallow as men are in relationships?

I just started dating as a lesbian (online), i’m 19 and it’s really hard for me to not put masc lesbians in a box like i did when i dated men. Also to be clear im not saying that masc woman are men I mean that im taking a lot of that trauma from dating men into my lesbian dating life towards masc women (I typically go for butches).

I feel a lot of men can be shallow when dating women, typically only dating the skinniest/beautiful girls over their personality. I’m not a skinny person, but i’m not obese, i feel i fit in the medium range weight but i still feel like that makes me less desirable and unable to be loved. But just to be clear I don’t view bigger people less desirable in my eyes i only view that about myself. I do care about looks but i really care about personality much more than that.

My point is that, are women (typically masc women) more keen to date women based on their appearance than personalities? I don’t know a lot about stereotypes with different lesbians I can only guess upon my knowledge/experiences, and I get the impression that they can be more toxic or players? I’ve heard people saying lesbians don’t care as much and i’ve heard that they are i just don’t know what to believe and It’s really making me insecure about dating…

I hope i’m not offending anyone by saying this btw, i’m still new to being a lesbian and I have a lot to learn about this knew lesbian world 😭
