Gay men on facebook

Why do so many effeminate gay men prefer in their partners the very masculinity they've bleached out of themselves? The obvious answer is that they're attracted to their opposites. But that answer only goes so far. Effeminate men may lust for their masculine counterparts but most masculine men don't return the favor. Effeminate men get hoisted on their own chiffon petards. The more they take on effeminate characteristics the less able they are to attract the kinds of guys they want to sleep with.

The study found that it was possible to predict men's sexual orientation by analysing the gender and sexuality of their contacts on the social networking site — even if the rest of the information on their profile is set to private. The small-scale survey indicates that people who believe they have discreet online habits may still be making personal information about themselves public. As part of the study the researchers Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree scanned the Facebook friends of more than 1, fellow students who indicated their sexual orientation — straight, gay or bisexual — on their profiles. This analysis revealed that homosexual men had proportionally more gay friends than straight men, allowing the students to devise a computer programme to predict the sexual orientation of other Facebook users based solely on the sexualities of their friends. They ran this programme on 10 men who were known to be homosexual but did not reveal this information on their profiles.

The conditions are ripe, then, for an account like GaysOverCovid to thrive — which, at the time of publication, has over , followers and counting. GaysOverCovid, which has been active since July , is dedicated to posting pictures of mostly white, muscular gay men congregating at large parties and group gatherings, the ultimate taboo justifiably so! In a beautiful, horrible form of poetic justice, a boat carrying roughly 60 party attendees sank, though no one was injured. Circuit gay culture, which refers to a series of annual, hedonistic parties like the aforementioned Palm Springs White Party , has always been an object of ire for some in the queer community and the paragon of salvation for others. The pandemic has merely amplified these sentiments on both sides — some of which are justified, some less so.
