Whatever you are, everyone has preferences. I'd prefer to be younger and more attractive but I'd also prefer that in a partner even though I'm not that myself. I love the vibes of older people but not many older people have taken good care of their bodies. I get it, it is difficult.

Ngl, I grew up thinking I was gay, but...

Was it a magic trick all along?

Another win for the blind and deaf people.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 51 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I'm not convinced that there's anywhere near as many straight people as straight people pretend there are. It's gotta be closer to like fifty-fifty split between straight and bi/pan/ace/and so on.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think the human race would have survived 50/50 split

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

So bi and pan people don't fuck and make babies?

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

That would imply at least 30% is bi/pan.

And even at 80%, early humans already had it really rough. There seems to have been 2 near extinctions of modern humans in the far past, so when the population is about 1000, having 200 not contribute is pretty big. Especially with the higher mortality rates early humans had in regards to birth.

It's more likely the percentage started extremely low and increased over time as population stability increased, since then it would reach a point where 10-20% not having kids wouldn't be as big a deal since there would now be hundreds of thousands or even over a million.

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

I struggle to believe that anyone is 100.00% straight or gay. Like, really? You're straight, sure... But there's not one person? One situation? One perfect storm of circumstances where you'd try swinging the other way just a little bit?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Personally, there is not one person in the gender I'm not attracted to that even vaguely seems interesting that way.

Might as well be thinking of grasshoppers or something.

[–] alecbowles@feddit.uk 3 points 7 hours ago

100% gay here and so far it continues this way.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 4 points 13 hours ago

Trust me, it is very frustrating to be around people who you would gladly fuck your brains out, but your brain is like "eww".

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Sexuality exists on a spectrum, imo. There are a few people who are totally straight, a few who are totally gay, but the vast majority fall somewhere in the middle. I do not feel that sexuality is a binary for most people. Of course, I could be completely wrong. I'm no scientist.

[–] Jyrdano@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Is that you, Robert California?

[–] MTZ@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No, I'm his Mexican half brother, twice removed. I'm JosΓ© Colorado. Nice to meet you!

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 hours ago

God I wish they'd stop removing our Mexican brothers

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 28 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I know everyone says it, but labels are pretty useless.

Even terms like "masculine" and "feminine" hold so much dumb baggage they're both functionally useless.

I know guys who want to be subservient to pretty girls, and girls who want stocky girls to dominate them.

Sexuality doesn't fit neatly into boxes, even in the best of circumstances - so much of it is contextual, and is pointless to attempt to pin down.

[–] GalacticSushi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 15 hours ago

Labels are just succinct words/phrases that try to give people some approximate idea of where we fall on a handful of vast spectrums. They're not meant to be 100% accurate.

I'm probably pansexual, but I tell people I'm bi because that's a word most people are familiar with. And even then I'm like 80-90% into women. So I don't really fit neatly into the bisexual box, but that label conveys enough relevant information.

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not even convinced we really managed to universally agree to uniform definition of what straight actually is. As long as that's the case people, who want to be "normalβ€œ, will just stretch and twist the definitions to fit in, if they can fit in that way.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's a problem with everything though. No matter what definition for something you come up with, even if most of population agrees with it, you'd have aggresively vocal minority that will try and push it other way to conform it to their perception/goals etc.

Straight means that as a man you are sexually attracted only to women. Already met people who dragged it into the "feminine people" camp instead and people who dragged it into "feminine women" camp. I tend on the other hand to stick into the tried and tested too much so I find both irritating xD

[–] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I more had "only/exclusively" vs "mostly/usually" in mind. But yes. There is also the question of whether its about gender or sex; homo-hetero being viewed as "same-opposite" vs "same-different"; what you wanna do with them … sex, relationship or both. Some think samesex intercourse is fine as long as you don't want a relationship . And what even does attraction mean.

[–] Kuma@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I see it as different things, you can fall for one gender, you can feel sexual attractive for another but most of the time do they sync. So that made also sense why some had crushes on the gender they wouldn't be together with.

It all clicked when I got to know a girl who could fall in love with men and women but couldn't enjoy having sex with guys even tho she tried to really liked it with the guys she fell for. And that also made me understand what pan really was because I thought it was just bi with extra steps but when gender identity, gender romance and gender sexually was all different things then it all made sense.

Why's that?

This doesn't help, I only have more questions now!

Well no.. but actually yes

[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There was a comedienne that stuck a line in my head " I'm attracted to men, but I don't find them attractive"

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Similar.

Charlie Sheen said that he didn't pay women for sex. He paid them to have sex and then leave.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That actually kinda makes sense though. He was saying he didn't want a relationship, just the sex part. I'm sure Charlie Sheen would have no problem finding people to have sex with that didn't require payment, they would just expect a relationship as part of it.

As opposed to other dude, who just was gay and was trying to sound like he wasn't gay.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

A comedienne is a lady comic. She is saying she wants men but doesn't find them attractive, which as a straight lady, makes absolute sense to me. Especially as I get older I wish I was bi, women age better (or more women age well is probably a better way to put it), and it would be easier in some ways. But alas, it's men for me.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 7 hours ago

One of the few funny 'Cathy' cartoons ever.

Cathy and Irving are talking and Irving asks Cathy what she wants in a man. He has to be a self-made millionaire; who is not materialistic. He has to love pets; he can't own any. He can't be afraid of commitment; he can't have any exes.

Irving goes off. He points out that what she wants is impossible.

Cathy asks Irving what he wants.

Probably not.

There are a few gay men looking at this video.
That's it.
