philsov 12/11/19 3:08:26 PM #13:	The Trent posted... isn't this story from like two years ago Yup! Dec 2017, lol https://hbr.org/2017/12/gay-men-used-to-earn-less-than-straight-men-now-they-earn-more Although the forbes article talks about married couples specifically and not just man vs man. Which... kinda makes sense in the large scale. There's going to be more dual income gay couples than dual income straight couples. Combine with the fact that gay men (on average) make more than straight men, then it's pretty logical about couples. Also the male-female wage gap, if applicable. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. <cite>philsov posted [p:931430658] in Forbes: &q...

ClockworkHare 12/11/19 7:17:10 PM #15:	It's more accurate to say gay couples CAN make more money than the average heterosexual couple. However, it's definitely not a universal standard...particularly for gay men, who actually have LESS incentive to seek higher incomes since we have to deal with less partners initially judging us for how much we make. On average, we're more likely to critique each other on "sexual market value" (including sexual availability) rather than the top limit of our incomes. There are gay men who nitpick about their partner's yearly income (such as wannabe sugar babies), but they do not count anywhere near the majority. Many gay men still keep relationship standards similar to most straight men, meaning a lot of us don't give a significant shit about how much our sexual partners make or educational degrees under their belt. We typically care more about how sexually attractive and available our partners keep themselves. Income is still widely considered important to a point, but it's really more in reference to our partners just being employed and not being a complete free-loader. --- Bite me like one of your French rolls. https://i.imgtc.com/k1IlqEz.jpg https://i.imgtc.com/p1ooHhw.png <cite>ClockworkHare posted [p:931441114] in Forbes: &q...

Dyinglegacy 12/12/19 9:07:50 AM #21:	Multiple explanations as to why this occurs, none of them mean superior or inferior. Gay couples are less likely to have unplanned children, thus forcing one parent to stay at home to raise them. Gay couples may or may not be more motivated to earn in order to prove themselvse as equal or better than their counterparts. Either way, it's neither here nor there. Nothing to be concerened with. That's if anyone was even concerened to begin with. --- Voted worst user on CE 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
