Being able to check out a sexy ass while taking a piss...

I'm STILL waiting to see THAT next to me at a urinal.
But the cool thing is that it COULD happen!

It's already been stated but not having to deal with women.

You just need to discreetly inquire whether your urinal neighbors would be interested in a butt massage while they're standing there, so you'll have an excuse to pull their pants and underwear down to their ankles.

In our society, despite most women being in the work force either full-time or part-time earning income for their families, they are still expected to excel in their traditional roles with regards to homemaking and child-rearing. This phenomenon, called "the second shift" by sociologists, impacts women the most and puts a strain on their families. Statistics often show that men still do not equally share the burdens of domestic and child-rearing chores to help the women achieve some balance in their lives.

Maybe in some relationships, but this is 2013. That excuse is getting a little tired. Most women refuse to give up control of the household, even to their husband. They prefer to use him as an ABM.

No risk of accidental pregnancy
Not having the robotic Suburbia lifestyle
Having sex with curious guys
guys knowing what we want
Not being Pussy Whipped by females ( i know so many guys that turn into puppy dogs when it comes to a girl)
Stupid Straight Drama

I don't think that some of these (rather superficial) "positive" elements compensate for the hostility and rejection that most gay men face in their lives. Also, many gay men actually want to have the prototypical suburban lifestyle, are easily swayed and manipulated by any male who is attractive or in a relationship with them, and they are Drama Queens big enough to make a Shakespearean tragedy out of nothing. On top of that, having sex with conflicted bisexual/closeted (oh, sorry, "curious") men isn't exactly an emotionally rewarding experience.

If anything, I would say that we gay men have to know ourselves very well and be very strong and courageous, in order to deal every day with a world that subjects us to infinite forms of discrimination and harassment. In fact, many of the most emotionally healthy, compassionate, generous and noble people I have met, were gay.

In light of the above conversation on women, I'd like to add emphasis to what Huntneo said. I think by being gay we don't objectify women as much as straight men do (or at least publicly state), but revere in their power. Which is pretty much why a boatload of our 'gay icons' are women. We're okay with recognizing a woman with sex appeal, brains and heart.

I met this woman and she was in school to be a carpenter. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. Who hears about women as carpenters? Or 'tradespeople' as women in general? I have an admiration/appreciation for women that so openly object gender-specific careers and roles in society. I don't know many heterosexual men that are open about that.

What a gay man might consider an advantage, a straight man wouldn't.

I agree.

Anyway, unless a person has been in a happy long-term straight relationship, as well as a happy long-term gay relationship, at some point in their life, it would be impossible to make a proper comparison.

In spite of being happily totally out for the past 35 years or so, I can't say I have ever noticed any real advantages of being gay. But one advantage of being straight would appear to be the greater number of potentially available partners, plus the fact that society is oriented towards heterosexual relationship. Also, if you have the misfortune to live in a religiously dominated backward country you could be put to death for loving the cock.


I wonder why these sort of threads always seem to go in a misogynistic direction. It's almost as if a lot of gay men are actually afraid of women.

In a vaccuum one might think this but you should hear how many female friends over my lifetime I've heard say the same things about dealing with women as many people in this thread have.

I think its the approach. The OP began with saying that the biggest advantage of being gay had nothing to do with actually being gay but instead being able to avoid women and their periods. Then others joined in saying what they didn't like about women. (Some people just look for that opportunity It seems to be the same ones over and over) While others were probably just following the context of the thread.

These threads are kind of like validation. Its nice to be validated every once in a while. To get other people to solidify the fact that you arent missing anything and the grass isn't greener on the other side. Just like the other one that was posted today "What do you like better, loose pussy or tight ass?" LOL. In the Straight and Bi section there are threads like that all of the time. "Which would you rather give up pussy or dick?" This JUB for goodness sake.

That's true too. Women engage in it as well with the comments or sentiment you often hear of "men are pigs" (and similar truisms among many women) and I don't feel threatened by them at all. It is as you say a form of validation. We all have different perspectives and experiences.

Yeah but I would kind of liken this more to a group of lesbians talking about cock and their straight girlfriends having to deal with abusive or lazy men (or what have you) it could be anything. Either way it always tends to end with.

Lesbian forum: "Poor straight girls... they dont know what they are missing"
Gay Forum: "Poor straight guys... they dont know what they are missing"

Exactly! And how some women frown on other women for their choices. I think some women put pressure on other women to succeed at everything BECAUSE they are women. My wife was dissed because she chose to be a stay at home mom, only to be sabotaged and ridiculed by her "friends". For her sanity she went back to work and I quit my job and became a stay at home dad (to the thrill and astonishment of my buds). The women were vicious to her. That was our experience, and sadly we weren't alone.

You left out straight friends of gay guy: Poor gay guys.. they don't know what they are missing.

Oh lol yeah. In college I overheard a group of straight guys talking. One of the guys was like.

"The thing about being gay is that they will never get pussy..." He just shook his head in disbelief. I had to get out of there. It was so stupid.

I think virtually all of us who have had straight male friends, particularly earlier in life (h.s., college) have had the experience of having them say something like "I don't think you're really gay... we just need to get you a girlfriend." With the implication seeming to be, once you try pussy you'll like it? I guess? lol.

I often wonder if heterosexuals are at risk of turning themselves off, or of failing to appreciate their own sexuality, because they are focussed on "not being gay."

I actually think bisexuality, done properly, is probably the most well-adjusted.
