It seems pretty obvious to me why women have gay friends (similar interests, like talking about feelings), but some social psychology researcher is making a living proposing evolutionary psychology theories to explain the phenomena and publishing papers on it.
This seemed counterintuitive “because gay men are attracted to their own gender, they’re a “safe bet” for women—at least, from a sociobiological standpoint.”
Biologically speaking, no.
And in other news the sun rises in the morning.
Sociological? WTF???
“Brucey? I want to share my innermost thoughts with you about my period.”
If it wasn’t for the gay men at Columbia University, I would have had no social life in college. My female colleagues were mostly snotty rich girls, and there is no other way to describe the typical guy than “sexual predator.” As well, gay men, somewhat out of societal norms themselves, could accept the ways in which I was different and dig me anyway. After all the bullying and ostracism that characterized my years in scholl, I found their attitude really refreshing.
Hanging out with gay men, I could at least relax and have a genuinely good time. Broadway musicals and interior decorating were only two of many shared passions. After I left school, it was a gay man who got me my first full-time job. So Michael Musto et. al., this Bud’s for you.
Some people write and publish garbage just to get published. Want to bet what this Yahoo did?
Well, darn it!
I’m just glad that SOMEBODY likes em!
This is what passes for science these days.
Even though the article said nothing about how this ‘evolved’ rather than just being a part of human nature, the word ‘evolution’ forces every proglodyte to salivate and believe what it says.
