In Which We Discuss Avatars and Custom User Titles IX

[Kyriakos]

Re that:

There is clear difference (or the potential for that to be as clear) between finding someone's body as nice, and being attracted to them if they are not the gender you seek in sexual relationships. Eg i find some sculptures/images of greek gods/related as very good-looking, but i would not want to have sex with a man even if he looked like that.

That said, i think that it is far easier for one to find the other gender as attractive, than to find something attractive in another person of one's own gender. Likely because biology presents some set traits of the other gender as attractive in a generic way (eg rounded forms, difference between male and female face, etc) while the same would not really trigger the view they are anything special in the same gender.

(obviously other parameters also exist, eg females are said to form deeper love ties to both male and female parent, cause the mother is always of such a trait anyway, while for males the father is not argued to be paramount in such issues).

Moms also get a lot of skin time in early development particularly if they breast feed. Don't underestimate typical socialization and conflate it as unalterable biology. When studies play clips of waling babies to parents of both genders the measurable emotional/stress response of the men is not significantly diminished compared to the women; even if their displayed/learned queues vary in severity.

All I know is that I'm slightly miffed by the fact that I've never been hit on by a gayman. Just once, that's all I'm asking.

 

[Kyriakos]

Eh, i have. But he looked nasty. I was disgusted :\
(also had a lot to do with that person actually being way out of line; pretty sure he is as creepy as he looks..).

i'm pretty sure it's happening to me. it's not as exciting or interesting as you may think.

No no no. That won't do. It would have to be one fit motherflipper. And he'd complement my eyes, and wink. I now realize I've put too much thought into this. I'll go build a garage or something now..

Wear a "Hug a Pineapple" T-shirt out on the town in Wrigleyville the night before the PRIDE parade. Worked for a chubby old guy like me. Bonus points if you don't realize beforehand that it's the night before the PRIDE parade in Wrigleyville.

 

[JohannaK]

Dammit, even a chubby old guy in Wrigleyville gets more attention from gays than I do.

 

[bhsup]

Johanna (dammit, I may never get used to that), you don't want the attention! Sex is bad for you! Stay home. Watch MLP. Watch and learn...

I think Francis was almost as drunk as he was flexible.

I wanted to change my user title to "let's put a smile on that face," but it was too long.

 

[Snerk]

Why hug a pineapple t-shirt?

Toughens your skin.

 

[Farm Boy]

I have no idea. I was informed I was the L.D.L. version of a bear between that and the John Deere hat.

...man, I have some stories about this. Every effing time I go to a Disney theme park.

 

[JohannaK]

The mystery here is why would someone go to a Disney theme park more than once, unless you work there.

 

[Snerk]

Well gay cruising would be another reason it seems.

 

[JohannaK]

Brb, booking tickets to Orlando, FL.

I was 3/3 until recently, now 3/4. Mostly high school trips, once because I was at a conference in Anaheim, CA and the only attraction there besides the conference center was Disneyland. I went with three labmates (all lady-scientists) and apparently that was the only effective defense.
