Gay men report better overall health and fewer behaviors that lead to obesity and hypertension than straight men. Sixty-one percent of gay men said they considered themselves to be in excellent or very good health, compared to 52 percent of straight men and 44 percent of bisexual men. Gay men are less likely to drink sugary beverages daily and were less likely to binge drink than straight and bisexual men. Twenty-seven percent of straight men in the study were obese, compared with 21 percent of gay men and 20 percent of bisexual men.

Straight women have the best access to a doctor they see on a regular basis, overall health and the lowest rates of unhealthy behaviors. Half of straight women said they were in excellent or very good health, versus 44 percent of lesbians and 45 percent of bisexual women. Twenty-seven percent said they had engaged in binge drinking within the previous year, compared to 50 percent of bisexual women. Ten percent of straight women were smokers, compared with 23 percent of bisexual and lesbian women. Lesbians had the highest rate of obesity, 35 percent, compared with 26 percent of bisexual women and 24 percent of straight women.

Does this surprise you or not?

I guess if they think they're healthy, it must be ?

It's not that women ignore the fitness of a man they're attracted to. It's often the opposite. They're just more likely to consider other traits (wealth, status, charisma, etc) as compensation for lower fitness.

Men, not as much. Most do not give compensation points for a flabby woman's wealth or status. She typically has to win the beauty and talent competition or she's out...

Well the only lesbians I've met in real life are by far the angriest people I've ever met. Most have a permanent scowl on their face together with that "Die!" gaze when they look at you.

So that their hate is rotting their insides makes sense. Beyond that. Straight men live and eat like slobs.
Gay men and (most) straight women always seem to be more health forward.
Yeah a lot of that is generalizing but I can't help that.

^ These two speak the truth.

Flip side, pursuit of status through work has a tendency to create a high-stress lifestyle, which tends to drive unhealthy eating/drinking habits.

So feminine people make healthier choices? Can't say I'm surprised.

So youre saying that banging women is bad for your health?
---

So this is just about physical health. Makes sense.

Women bring more stress in people's lives.

Nah.

Men are visually stimulated, so people who seek male courtship will opt to look better which includes diet and exercise. Straight men and lesbians don't care about their appearance as much (and subsequently their health) because that's not something women seek in their partners relative to other qualities.

Online dating is probably ruining this tho. Fat chicks get limitless chad dick too. No need for straight chicks to stay in shape anymore

Not surprising whatsoever.

Lesbians are obese, gay men are fit, straight women are fit, and straight men are in the middle.

It's sexism with some homophobia sprinkled in.

Gay culture is shallow as fuck, so it isnt surprising we place a greater emphasis on looking good and staying healthy.
