women are more homophobic than men.

As far as relationship standards in general, actually yes.

There are more men who would accept a girlfriend being bisexual provided she was still very appealing to be with for the man. To an extent, some men would not even find the possibility of the bi gf hooking up with other women as an immediate threat. Some men would welcome that kind of fetish scenario as long as it never impeded on their benefits in the relationship.

Women, on the other hand, are typically not as eager to accept that arrangement with a bisexual man for multiple reasons. There might be a notable amount of women who sexually fantasize about male/male scenarios just like the amount of men who fantasize about lesbians, but that's not equivalent to the women actually wanting a relationship with a bisexual male partner. Not for the long run.

Women in general either initially or eventually prioritize commitment in relationships. That means the man desires "just her". It's very rare for a woman to not fall into this age old trend once she's ready for a significant relationship. Once most women reach that stage, they're typically not okay with their men having any open sexual encounters because it could cause issues with common advanced relationship goals like marriage and raising a family. Most women don't want their men sleeping around with other partners when it comes time to settle down, open relationship or not. They want the man's priorities to be set on supporting the family and home, not his open sexual adventures which could naturally conflict with that.

There is a longstanding stigma towards bisexual people that implies they're promiscuous nymphomaniacs and casually dishonest about it; that they can not grasp the value of fidelity and are unable to be exclusive. However, it's bisexual men who receive the greater brunt of that stereotypical criticism both from women attracted to men and ironically some fellow LGBT peers.

The AIDS controversy actually has very little to do with why most women will lose their interest in an attractive man once it's revealed he's any other orientation besides heterosexual. It's why it's not uncommon to see a rapid decline in female fan base once a popular hunky icon comes out as queer. It kills the women's fantasies of the male icon ever being intensely attracted to them and no one else. The key words being there: "no one else", because many women still desire unquestionable commitment as part of the package when they fantasize about their ideal trysts.

If I was really into someone enough to want to get married to them, like just head over heels in love with them...it would take far more than a simple request of a prenup to turn me off on being with them. I would gladly cooperate with any reasonable prenuptial agreement if that is what would help my partner feel more comfortable with our union.

To me, getting upset over a partner asking for a prenup is like getting insulted that they wanted to use a condom to have sex with you.

"Why do we need a condom? You think I'm not honest about my last check up? YOU DON'T TRUST ME?!"

If you're going to throw away a relationship just because the other person asked for some premarital agreements, you're weak and pretentious...

My GF'S mom in particular is being very pressuring, I didn't care for it, I ignored it/humored it. My GF'S was down too, but about a month ago she started to slip. Recently after asking me why we wouldn't get married she goes "If we're going to be together forever, why not make it official" and "Do you not love our family" and "Why are you afraid to commit, you always need and escape route and things won't be the same forever" she doesn't usually talk like this, so I'm sure he moms is planting those words in her head.

Bad thing is she knows how much I dislike marriage, so I can't even brush it off with some we'll see shit, she wants a yes lol. There's no manual for this shit once it's actually in your face, TV and Movies have not helped me out all, or Steve Harvey. We live together, raise our son together, but heaven forbid being called someone's baby mama instead of wife, that changes everything.

Commit or quit.

If you're not interested in marriage at this time, that's your right.
Women should not be pressured into marriage. Neither should men.

Talk to your gf and explain how you really feel about the idea of marriage at this time.
Find out how SHE really feels about it too. Say you want HER feelings about it, not a regurgitation of her mom's.
If she has a habit of constantly parroting her mother's opinons, thats BAD. That needs to go before you agree to any matrimony, period.
No really, that needs to be one of your conditions, I'm serious...or you're basically going to be marrying her mom also.
A lot of men don't realize that they can haggle a bit on premarital agreements before proposing. It's the smart thing to do.
So be sure to make it clear that if your gf wants you to step up and propose, she needs to then think more independently without her mom.

And hey maybe a reason you don't feel confident about marriage right now is because YOU need more confirmation that it's also a good deal for YOU. What you want as the man also matters. And it's your gf's job to fill in those answers and convince you it's worthwhile for you too. If all she's got ready is ultimatums, that's not a good sign...

Marriage is not something to rush into. You should want it to succeed, but on conditions that benefit both of you. Tread carefully, take the time to make a good foundation. Don't get married just to shut up the mother-in-law. Don't do it just because you got a kid. If you do it, make sure it's for reasons you want.

And if it's not what you actually want...just be straight up honest about it. Better now instead of after the rings are on.
If your gf still wants to hold out for the possibility of marriage after that, than apparently she needs to up her own game to convince you it's a good deal.

To be fair, there's also a lot of misogynists who do actually get laid often too.
Ironically enough, having sexist perspectives doesn't always negate a person's ability to repeatedly attract sex partners or even relationships.

The "incel" controversy isn't accurately summed up as just a matter of potential misogyny; it's much more complicated than that. And I feel it's one that's going to increasingly get worse in the US before it gets better due to how American society responds to it instead of taking it more seriously from all sides of the issue. We typically just side with one and tell the others to "get over it and conform". Which isn't a feasible solution...

Boys need more help before they reach this kind of stage. Men need more support to avoid it.

Just don't assume every woman who looks pretty at a gym is hunting for a new boyfriend (or girlfriend). That's stupidly presumptive.

They already kind of do. And even discounting the conflicting fact that I'm only attracted to men, it's annoying when a woman flirts with me for a date because of the superficial reasons usually involved. They either got their eye on my career, my muscles, my height, my assets. Very rarely has their initial interest in me ever been something more than just my surface stats. It gives the impression they want me as a material possession than a person with an identity.

It's a big part of why I can also sympathize with how many women have to deal with awkward encounters with thirsty guys who just want a trophy to brag about, a convenient fuck toy, or both.

"Ladies' lingerie," he joked.

He was attending the International Studies Association conference in San Francisco at the time. Simona Sharoni, professor or women's and gender studies at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, also present in the elevator, took offense and several hours after the incident, she filed a complaint with the association, which found that Lebow violated the group's code of conduct.

Some people are not eager to chat about their pasts on initial dates. Sometimes their past is why they're looking for someone new and they don't want to reminisce about it much.

Although I will concede: if someone's really hurting for a new relationship, they need to let some awkward questions slide. Like that should be a standard to do for anyone agonizing over being lonely. Otherwise, they basically want to stay single and buried in cats.

I didn't say everyone should just let any triggering question or comment slide just because they're lonely. I'm saying give some leeway with awkward comments when you're looking for a new relationship. Learn to gauge between responses that are outright appalling to most people and ones that are really just you being over-sensitive...

Before you consider flipping a table and walk out over a date's comment, ask yourself 3 things:
-what was the real intention of the comment/question and was it really that bad?
-is the date completely destroyed or can it still be turned around into a better experience?
-just how fucking lonely are you?

Ask your cats; they would know.

I'm not keen on the bandwagon term.

However, yes, it is possible for a gay man or woman to be so aloof (shy, oblivious, antisocial) or repelling (physically, socially, or both) to other people that they continue to be unintentionally single.

Even a gay person who's stereotypically expected to get laid left and right in communities promoting sexual liberation can still get stuck masturbating alone with their tears when they have socially conflicting traits.

is social isolation really that bad?

Depends on the person.

Some people have the mental constitution to survive fine without daily means of socialization/pop media intake. They make great candidates for outpost careers away from civilization and jobs that are locally within a city yet boxed in by architecture. To an extent, some very important means of production and services rely on this uncommon type of people. They're actually a good thing to have contributing to society as far as finding someone to do some very unpopular jobs that benefit through economy.

To be frank, modern society kind of takes these people for granted despite the important economic contributions because their places of work are hidden away from most eyes and they rarely get credited for anything. Fortunately most of the people who step forward to accept these positions typically don't care about the credit.

The point is living day to day in a socially isolated life does not automatically have negative results on everyone. Most, yes. Everyone, no. Some people are just that mentally tough and naturals at isolated function.

And I can kind of relate because I've even been in this type of situation where I wasn't keen on a partner wanting drunken sex with me, because it often led to awkward or straight up uncomfortable aftermaths. However, I also realized that part of the reason these situations kept happening was my own participation. I got drunk too, I didn't do anything to discourage the drunken advances on me while I wasn't sober myself. Hell sometimes I drunkenly encouraged it.

I know what a case of rape is. Despite me being drunk with several partners making sexual advances on me, I wasn't raped in any of those instances. Fits the general narrative of what could legally constitute as a rape case, but I was never raped during those times. And I fully understand how my willing participation beforehand (sober or not) led to those uncomfortable events repeatedly occurring.

Culpability, man. I have it no matter how inconvenient it is for me.
That's why partners haven't been afraid to ever call me back...

Theyre young, frustrated white males in their late teens into their early twenties who are having a hard time adjusting to adulthood. Theyre the same kinds of people you find in white supremacy writ large, Beirich said. They have grievances about the world theyve placed onto women and black people.

Unfortunately, media like youtube says otherwise. Bitter misogynistic views are not exclusive to white men at all and it's kind of funny the article even nodded in that direction. There's men of varying races submitting video commentary and angry posts targeted at women daily, just like you can find online examples of women doing the reverse by criticizing men rather harshly as well.

You might be surprised by how far you can push a site's line of rules without getting banned for crossing it. Many sites are either too lenient or have user rules that are easily danced around. Wording an offensive online submission carefully enough to dodge penalties is no longer a gift; it's becoming more and more a public standard with our increasing reliance on web exchanges.

Look at gamefaqs. Sure there's alts that get moderated daily for crossing the line...but they're alts. It's a higher level of dodging penalties. Banning a disposable alt is like hitting Mario when he's riding Yoshi. One Yoshi takes the fall and Mario survives to troll another day on a new Yoshi tomorrow.

Roles and expectations of each partner can take a dramatic turn after the initial pregnancy. It can change the climate the couple was having the most success within, or worse even eliminate it (a primary factor for break ups/divorce).

That being said, I still cross my fingers that a happy couple will last after becoming parents. I like knowing the child is getting a positive start like that and the couple's efforts will be rewarded for raising a new life into the world.

You still need to be attractive to some degree to get buried in dick as a gay man.

I'm saying someone...anyone...has to find you hot enough to bang. And it has to be multiple someones. Otherwise you're not getting easy hook ups at all. And for the "gay = easy hook ups" stereotype to apply, you need to fall into categories that a decent portion of gay men find attractive.

And unfortunately, some of those categories are straight up discriminatory. That's not to say it's impossible to get laid every night as a demographic underdog, but you might have to search more or even move locations to have luck as good as those who already fall into the popular picks.

You can literally be born into having shit luck with gay dating if you have too many unpopular traits. It's only "easy" for some.

im a straight male, and i probably would not approach women who are with men. you don't know who is dating who, and i'm generally worried about (a) offending a bf, or (b) getting into a bad situation with guys who are interested in her and also trying to get with her

That's not uncommon despite what media portrays.

It might seem like men in general are thirsty as fuck and prowling around for every attractive woman they can find (that's the popular stereotype), but it's not the actual case. For example, in western nations like the US the amount of men who make a habit of asking out every hot chick on sight make up a very small percentage of the male populous. They're the horndogs of the population; OF COURSE they're going to approach every decent looking woman they can find and it can make it seem like it's all men doing that because a horny guy is always asking random women out in his radius. But in reality it's only a small portion of men.

A larger majority of men prefer to "wait for the right moment" to ask an interesting woman out. They're typically looking for that easy, non-adversarial moment to do it. Because, like you mentioned, they don't want to risk asking the woman out at an awful time and get shot down. Or worse, branded an annoying creep. That's a bummer, a social hazard, and a missed opportunity to connect with someone they're interested in. She could be really engaged in a phone convo, she could be hanging with close friends uninterested in anything else at the moment, she could have had a stressful disaster at work that an average man can't instantly fix, she could be having irritating pains that just flat out make regular introductions and conversation not a priority...and those first impressions are super important. Women have their own lives going on and there's a bunch of inopportune hassles that could turn a guy's innocent approach into more annoying shit hitting the fan. The majority of men know this and instead aim for "a right time". In other words: an easy moment to approach that has minimal risk to backfire.

And there's even a small subset of men, from all ranges of attractiveness (ugly, average, hot) who just flat out never bother approaching women for long or never at all. We just don't pay much attention to them because society assumes the ugly are destined to be single, the average ones aren't significant enough to watch, and the hot ones MUST have a girlfriend somewhere or the universe will collapse. No really, there are some incredibly gorgeous looking straight guys who for whatever reason never focus on dating women as a life goal. They could be super into their careers, ideologically oblivious about female attention, they're more into their bro time or family, or they can be practically asexual as far as urges to date. All these reasons can also be applied to exceptional women with the same behavior. No surprise, it happens with men too. Guys can also get so enveloped in their own lives, they're not paying attention to what chicks are checking them out or even care.

3 distinct subsets of men as far as attractions to women.
