I know we all hate them, but alotta people fit alotta stereotypes, regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
I have been deliberating for a while now whether any gay stereotypes actually annoy me and whether that would limit the kind of people I could have a relationship with and I have realised that I can grow up and love people for who, not what, they are.
I doubt very much I am overly feminine (no one guesses until I tell them I'm gay, so that says something!
) and have always felt more attracted to the school jocks and more masculine guys in my teen years, but I have felt put off by feminine guys through stereotypes and my socialisation process that included putting these people in a negative light.
What I've grown to realise is that feminine men are fantastic people and actually feel that I could have a relationship as successful with a 'pansy', as my lovely family call them, as much as a really masculine guy.
Once I got this out of the way, I got thinking what other guys thought about this. If you're more masculine, do you find more feminine men to be easy enough to get along with and have a relationship or even vice versa?
Silly topic, I know, but interesting to know none-the-less.
