discussion ATRL Honest Talks: Straight Male Validation

[shyboi]

1. Why do you think straight male validation is so important for gays in general? 

 

2. What are the root causes? 

 

3. Is SMV (Straight Male Validation) important to you? 

 

4. Is this a thing of the past? Are we slowly shedding of those regressive ways of thinking?

this is atrl, can we please talk about why taylor swift is a climate terrorist and dua lipa is flopping 

 

[playwithme]

They are usually hotter (more masculine).  

[jonapova]

We want the straights to like us so we get to enjoy their peens

[Likingstars]

I appreciate all validation  

[TaggedGalaxy]

I just want them to use my throat **** the validation

[Glamthony]

i dont even care for queer people validation, and i actually avoid any interaction with straight men, i couldnt care less for the opinion of a man that only talks about soccer and t/ts.

[Kern]

I love all validation because I have low self esteem 

[gardendreams]

men scare me regardless of sexual orientation 

[Suilen]

Straight men disgust me so they can shove that validation up one place and maybe feel something.

[St. Charles]

I don’t have any gay friends sadly so I am constantly surrounded by them. It’s really weird because I feel disconnected from the LGBT community but I def don’t feel like I’m part of the “straight world” either.

[shyboi]

We need a "serious" tag me thinks

But ATRL is meant to be very LGBTQ2S+, i know is not exactly real life but you are not that disconnected. You interact daily here

[ImsoLOUD]

I think it’s fading. Growing up is realizing those men are not special nor much different than us. 

[Mikeymoonshine]

I actually dislike most straight men tbh. 

[Bosque]

Well most ATRL users also seek validation based on the fact how many Platinum certificates their fave has, so I guess it’s not too surprising.

1. Why do you think straight male validation is so important for gays in general? 

probably bc they got rejected from those straight male friendgroups throughout school, it's healing i guess ?

 

2. What are the root causes? 

above

 

3. Is SMV (Straight Male Validation) important to you? 

not at all

 

4. Is this a thing of the past? Are we slowly shedding of those regressive ways of thinking? 

not really

[Twilish]

What validation could i receive from someone who probably doesn’t even wash his a**

do people actually make friends here? I don't see a lot of interacting with others unless people are arguing about a random celebrity or debating chart performance.

[burninredhot]

No. Most of them have a very fragile personality which is very annoying to be around and the ones that don't are the kind of str8s I'm friends with

Thank you for taking the time to answer 

 

 

I agree btw

For many it's probably because it's harder to get from them. Women tend to be more emotional and give validation more quickly/easily than men, who tend to be more stoic.

[rebeltwat]

No  The only straight men in my life are the ones I'm related to
