    This could also be a great textbook example of social conditioning. Women and men self-perpetuating gender stereotypes and acting weirded out when they’re being violated.

    Well, it’s probably because he’s the leper king of Jerusalem, judging by that mask

    If your mom is nice to you she simply protects her assets. Her behaviour towards you is in no way an indicator on how attractive you are for potential partners from outside your family.

    Her behaviour towards you however may be an indicator on how attractive you are for potential partners inside your family.

        It’s funny - the bi women I know have a much better understanding of how difficult it is to date women than the straight women do. “But why don’t you just do online dating? I had a lot of success meeting men through online dating!”

        (Before anyone says anything: yeah, straight women have their own problems.)

            Lesbians aren’t toys to play with when you’re bored.

            I’m a lesbian. I’ve had times where I’m hella single and don’t go to dudes because I’m bored or lonely. If I did, I would consider myself pan/bi.

            You’re bi, just say you’re bi. You can’t be a certain percentage of something like that.

              Nah, I think I’ll identify how I please.

              Lesbians aren’t toys to play with when you’re bored.

              I’m fully aware of this, having been the one toyed with before.

                What bothers me, is that this creates this idea for some men that they can “change” or convince lesbians. If you’re like “Oh I’m a lesbian, but I have a boyfriend.” You’re going to make some men think they just have to ask enough and that lesbians just “need a good d” to turn straight again.

                Why lesbian over bi, if I may ask? Do you find yourself moving between the two labels when it’s convenient or would be awkward to say? Like, if you meet his family-- do you tell them you’re actually a lesbian?

                  No, I totally get that, and I hate that I “prove” that idea in any form, because it’s horseshit. I hear that shit all the time and frankly, it’s disgusting.

                  I identify more with lesbian, because quite frankly I’m not physically attracted to guys like…at all. I just happen to really be attached to this one guy in particular. Outside of him, I’ve never had a guy as a romantic partner, and should we break up at some point, I don’t see myself doing it again.

                  Regarding his family, I probably wouldn’t say anything at all about my sexuality haha

      I’m kind of surprised what gets downvoted these days… do people actually not know that humans are imitation learners in almost every social and scientific aspect? 😨

        In the same vein I’m shocked how little reading comprehension people have these days (such as this comment) and how people and how quickly people jump to align any information with their worldview. The post even said “majority” with no indication that the father wasn’t around. For example someone that has two siblings, both sisters would fit that category.

        I think you misinterpreted some or most of the downvotes. The problem seems to be the role model that they did find.
