    Has anyone noticed the weirdly dualistic stereotypes for gay men and straight men? Here are a couple off the top of my head.
    Gay Men:
    • Have neat hand writing
    • Use elegant language
    • Are good looking
    • Are intelligent
    • Are sensitive
    • Hang out with women
    • Are submissive socially as well as sexually
    • Fluctuate their voice a lot to convey emotion

    Whereas in contrast Straight Men:
    • Write like they have no thumbs
    • Speak in grunts and words like "dude" and "bro"
    • Look like goofs
    • Are dumb or less intelligent
    • Hang out with their "bros"
    • Are domineering socially and sexually
    • Speak in a monotone

    I actually fit more of the straight stereotypes mentioned than not.

    I fit more on the straight acting category...

    Off topic:
    These stereotypes that you mentioned about straight boys remind me of the moronic "straight to gay" pornos...The gay porn actors say "dude", "bro", and talk about "chicks with big titties", and do other straight stereotypes in order to sell the straight character...Can't we just have to Gay men who like to have sex with each other?

    You can add laundry to the list...
    I'd rather think of myself as a goof who is good looking :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    This list is really flattering to the stereotypical gay men.
    Stereotypical gay men are cool now :grin:

    I don't watch porn pretty much specifically because of weirdness like that. Can we agree that brainwashing previously self identifying straight men into gay ones is relatively high on the creepiness index? I get the appeal of the concept and a younger me would have wanted that but that is like mind control or something to the effect.

    And yeah I guess the list is favoring the gay men but most of those were observation made by my LGBTQA+ friends about straight people rather than the other way around. The funny thing is they don't notice those traits in me. Its like the opposite of a confirmation bias. :lol:
