No, it’s quite the opposite, actually! 😂 We don’t necessarily gravitate towards beautiful women because they’re beautiful. A lot of gay men, myself included, grew up having difficult experiences with the attractive, popular kids who bullied us for being gay or different. I’m a gay man, I’m 41 years old, and one thing almost all of my female friends have in common is that they were nerds, alternative, bullied, rejected, or simply outsiders. Their character was shaped by knowing what it feels like not to fit the mould. And yes, they’ve often evolved into incredibly beautiful women, but that isn’t what created the friendship. If anything, it’s the other way around. First, because they have a gay best friend who styles them. 😂 And secondly, because these women often relate to queer people on a deeper level. They know what it feels like to be bullied, shamed, discriminated against, picked on or judged for being different. Gay men tend to like character. We like confidence, even when it’s quiet confidence. We like seeing our friends succeed. We’re cheerleaders, and we give women a little bit of everything that can sometimes be missing from heterosexual men relationships friendship or romantic , which is honesty, emotional support, humour and safety. It’s almost like a brother and sister relationship all rolled into one. Gay men bring a sense of youth and fun into their straight female friends lives, while those women offer gay men acceptance, loyalty and safety. And I will say this, every single woman in my life who I consider a friend is a fierce queen. Yes, they’re beautiful, but they’re beautiful because they’re individuals. They’ve become the best versions of themselves because they refuse to be held back by judgement, bullying or the pressure to conform to some cookie-cutter idea of what a woman should be. So yes, sister… it’s quite the opposite, actually. 😂
