base talk Why are Gay Men so shallow?

[Minto]

do people think gay men are an entire different gender? we are men at the end of the day and men aren't exactly known to be as forgiving visually and yes i am generalising

 

[Strawberry Bubble]

many men and women are shallow in general 

[Katamari]

Everyone is shallow 

[MattieB]

They have the worst qualities of both genders

Be true to yourself and there just might be life on the other side of clubbing/ hedonism/ circuit parties/ sun-bed tans/ bleached hair/ lip fillers/ designer clothing ..

 

It can be happy in a deeper way and it includes none of the aforementioned things that were potentially a part of your previous life.

.. Then again, dress-sense never dies and a few designer labels might be worn now and then if you break on through to the other side.

Yal ask this question so many times on this site and I never understand why. 

Gay men are just as shallow as any heterosexual individual or those who choose to not identify. The stereotype that some of you are feeding into, that the media has trained you to believe is something shocking especially in 2024. 
 

Everyone has different aspects of people they find attractive and to what degree. Let people like and love who and what they want. As long as they aren't being a terrible person who the hell cares?

That applies to anyone. Straight men who treat women like property or sexual objects. Straight women who use men strictly for material things. People who live to flaunt their status symbols. Superficiality and shallowness is everywhere.

Outside of internet and circuit-y club scenes I don't really think this is the case. What kind of people are you aligning yourself with?

 

I think a lot of thee people who operate in that way only do so because it's the experience they've had in the gay community. I've seen how friends who are young and socialized amongst older white gay men are usually the ones who end up being this way — they don't get to form normal wholesome ways of relating to people outside of sex and drugs so it's not surprising actually.

lol exactly. Some here don't like to admit it but men are always gonna be MEN first in this society, regardless of their sexual orientation. 

 

It's not that everyone else is incapable of being shallow in different ways but I find men are the only ones that are encouraged to be, excused to be or expected to be because they are, unfortunately, the ones that have made such rules.
