I'm sure plenty of straight men enjoy listening to female pop music, I certainly have met a fair few Straight men can listen to some pop girls but they never stan, if you saw a man bopping to lyrics like "I'm gonna marry the night" or "Switching the positions for you" or "who run the world girls who run the world girls", they're 100% gay. 1
wantedyoutogrow Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Straight men are NOT stanning any pop girls, they may like some of their music but stanning is something completely different I don’t even think straight men stan anyone 3

Outside America some straight men stan girl groups. For example, Twice was largely stanned by men in Korea through their fanbase has gotten more female in recent years. 1
Doogle Posted February 20 Posted February 20 55 minutes ago, GraceRandolph said: Studies revealed years ago that men often skip pop girl songs on streaming platforms. There's definitely a bit of an aversion here. Of course SOME straight men do listen to pop girls often but they are a minority. Yeah it’s overblown on both sides. Some stans act like every straight is bumping Doja Cat etc when we know plenty of men just flat out don’t listen to women (I shared a uni flat with a guy like that, he was the most basic white bread excuse for a human being) but the inverse is true in more cases than ATRL realises. 1
Suilen Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Some things you don't have to worry about when you can count all members of your fanbase with your fingers. 1

Orsay Posted February 20 Posted February 20 There are self identified straight male stans of just about every pop girl (besides Kylie Minogue) there’s at least a small handful of them that post in the Gaga base, I mean maybe they’ll come out as gay someday but who am I to judge or decide 1 hour ago, wantedyoutogrow said: Straight men are NOT stanning any pop girls, they may like some of their music but stanning is something completely different I don’t even think straight men stan anyone They mostly stan sports teams, and to a lesser extent the star players
Erreur2 La Nature Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) Rihanna and Shakira are the only two popgirls who are listened to by straight men as much as male artists. Edited February 20 by Erreur2 La Nature
liquiddiamonds Posted February 20 Posted February 20 (edited) every single one of them tbh lol straight men mostly listen and are inclined to male POV music, so they mostly stan other men they can relate to. there's a reason most of the demo of our girls are women or gay or kids. straight men do appreciate when the women are technically talented in something they appreciate (vocals, playing, writing etc). the dua, rihanna mentions are just because they are played in straight environments, especially because they appeal to straight women, not because straight men are stanning and waiting for their releases. it's mostly us there. ask a man an opinion on them and it's mostly surface level knowledge from hits I think it's easier to catch a straight man admiring a female DJ, a rock or an indie artist than a pop girl tbh (they would be sexualized amidst appraisal too), but I only had this experience when they were way more into music than the average straight man As far as stanning, i don't think I have ever seen a straight men gagging over female artists in a stan way. just compare to how they feel about soccer, basketball and football players or even some damn anime or marvel filme star: THATS STANNING behavior that we never see directed to pop girls. they keep it to other men. i feel a part of stanning comes with wanting to incorporate aspects of who you stan and it makes no sense for the usual straight man to want to be anything women are...... look around Edited February 20 by liquiddiamonds

Into The Void Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I saw 'Born This Way' cd in my cousins truck . He told me he listens to her.
Achilles. Posted February 20 Posted February 20 The male aversion to supporting female artists is not exclusive to pop music. It’s also why women struggle so hard in rap and country music. Adele is probably the only pop girl who can genuinely claim to have a straight male fanbase because she’s “mature” / “respectable” enough that older AC type listeners enjoy her. Swifties know that Taylor doesn’t have many straight male fans, but we also know that there are plenty of “dad swifties” and “boyfriend swifties” who know and enjoy her music with their kids / female partners. Plus a small subset of guys who are fans in their own right, I fuess.

If the people who said that went out and touched grass they’d meet all kinds of people and realise there are plenty of straight guys who aren’t rap obsessed muscle bros lool Also there's something about ATRL gays who obsessed over straight men validation for their favorite female artists and then downplaying female fans, especially teenage girls And we all know why it happens smh 2

shyboi Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Very pleased to come and read all these replies. I don't care if str8 men stan or like my fav, it doesn't make me proud, actually idgaf. 1
TaggedGalaxy Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I work with a lot of straight men, they don’t stan anyone however the pop girls I always hear them praising/quoting and singing lyrics/listening to music are Taylor, Rihanna and Gaga consistently
