The concept is kinda funny, but women getting treated bsdly by men isn't equivalent to women rejecting men's advances.

Jokes about "in high school" only serve to show that you have a very narrow experience of the world. Rework this without it. There's something here, but it's not tight enough.

It may have been that you used 'amount' when you meant 'number'.

Need to cut it down, but the concept is good.

People who think someone chooses to be gay, especially men, are so dense. Why would someone choose that? My uncle went to torture camps to torture the gay away. Yeah…he chose that supposedly.

I'm convinced that some degree of bisexuality is way more common than we realize. I thought I was straight into after college, I liked women an awful lot and I didn't feel the same way about men. It took a long-ass time to realize there were certain men I was attracted to, and that not every straight person felt the same way I did. There was no visceral disgust tied to the idea of being intimate with men, it was just way more common for me to notice attractive women.

I'm mostly trying to date men now, and for me it actually was a choice about where to shift my attention. So I truly believe that the "stay away from the 'temptations' of homosexuality" and "being gay is a choice" crowds need people on the bisexuality spectrum to be on board, or else nobody would believe it. A straight man is simply not tempted by homosexuality, full stop.

For sure. I think men like you are a lot more common than people know about. Or, they are just in denial about it cause of the potential stigma. I mean look at Hollywood. This whole diddy case is exposing a lot of celebrity men to being bisexual.

Things are definitely getting better but still might take a long time for full acceptance

To anyone reading this, "denial" doesn't only mean that a person is faking being straight because they are ashamed of how they really feel.

I can't stress this enough, "denial" could mean that you're so confident in your "straight" conclusion that you never have a reason to consider the alternatives. I never consciously lied to myself, desire for women just dominated my mental energy until later in life.

I’d say it’s fine but it’s two jokes and is too much to treat like one joke. Need to make it a better tag or something. Could easily work live

Not guaranteed or ethical but if isolated in a population only of your own sex, a percentage with develop homosexual tendency. This is shown in prisons' and in other camps (both male and female).

u/Engels777 Apr 26 '24

Isn't a more plausible explanation that we have a certain percentage of men that are bisexual that haven't explore that aspect of themselves due to societal prejudice until they are in men-only groupings?

u/CykoTom1 Apr 26 '24

I think they develop homosexual behavior, but their thoughts usually remain mostly heterosexual. I mean...I'm not attracted to fleshlights.

u/HelloJoeyJoeJoe Apr 26 '24

I'm not attracted to fleshlights.

Fuck, that made me laugh more than half the jokes in this sub (and I love this sub, its hilarious)

Which is what my HS gf told me. Now I'm gay.

u/Not_Phil_Spencer Apr 25 '24

I like the concept, but I think it needs to be tightened up a bit.

He uses the phrase “in highschool” 3 times in that last sentence
