    I'm such a great ally, I would suck a dude's dick if I could... 😳

    Real talk though, it absolutely is not "easier" dating men. Not only do you have to constantly worry that you could be attacked if you show same-sex attraction in public, you also have to deal with male-dominated spaces and the risk of violence there.

    Being gay means never being able to let your guard down.

    It sounds like you went through some heavy trauma to bring you to that mindset.

    It's hard enough navigate dating and relationships, even worse when you have baggage with the gender you're attracted to.

    I'm not going to try to diagnose you or compare your opportunities with mine. I don't know you enough for that. Instead, I'll be honest about my own experience.

    Navigating dating as a gay man is difficult for me, in part due to male figures in my life. It's still hard for me to separate men in general from what I understand or want men to be. Sometimes that means I fall for bullshit or get myself into bad situations. Other times it means I have unrealistic expectations for men I date and disappoint myself when they don't live up to them.

    I enjoy my identity in the LGBT community, but it took a long time to get there and it's still hard. It's an ongoing process to deprogram internalized homophobia and put the things I've been through into a healthy perspective.

    I used to wish I was straight for the sake of an easier life, but that wouldn't undo the pain I felt, because really, my sexual orientation wasn't the source of that pain. And my relationship issues would work their way into my life, regardless of who my partner was.

    I don't know your situation, but I wish you well on your processing.

    I promise you that men are no 'easier' than women. Everything that women 'do' men do while also getting irrationally angry and possessive.

      From what I’ve noticed, hetero relationships/dating are kind of difficult in many ways, probably at least in part due to established gender roles and dominant social expectations of relationships and partners. Not saying that gay relationships/dating don’t have their own unique hurdles, though.

        I'm a pathetic pushover if that helps. Though I'm still egotistical sorry. Can't help being this good. :big-cool:

    Finding dudes attractive is fucking annoying for me because I am probably the least feminine woman you'll ever meet. Men don't often find that attractive, at least in my experience.

    As other people have pointed out, this is still kind of a misogynistic to assume that men are much different. I think you need to spend some time sorting through your issues with women.

    It's entirely possible that you think it would be easier to be with men and that your relationships with men are healthier because you have no interest in them romantically, so you don't feel any of the pressure to act as such?

    On the other hand have you considered that gay relationships can be dysfunctional and women are also just people

    Bi dude here, as much as dudes rock, they can also be extremely shitty. Relationships with guys can be very complicated, especially considering a lot of people are homophobic. It has it own challenges

    There's no way I'm digging though the seven Witcher books to find the quote, but there was a really funny passage in one of them where Tris gets fed up with men and experiments with dating women, ultimately to find out that they still fart under the covers.

    Opposite problem, but relevant I guess.

    Lmao it's literally the easiest thing, just like suck a penis, literally nothing changes if you're gay, you just have sex with a man it's so simple

    Cocks aren't magic they're literally just a large clitoris, and an ass is basically a vagina it's the same fucking thing lmfao idk what the problem is here

    I'm in that spectrum between ace and bi where I find men and women attractive but have no real desire to have romantic or sexual relations
