Overfeminisation

[Idolfan]

Okay guys... I know I've been going overboard with all the gay stuff, but I thought this deserved a thread of it's own since it's become apparent that some people don't actually read to the end of a thread before replying. Statistics show that there are more gay men than there are gay women. Now, whilst I am over the moon that this means perhaps people are going to stop shitting out children all over the place... this leaves us with a social dilemma. Because doesn't this mean that there are LESS men around for straight women? We can't force gay men to get with women. And we can't force straight women to get with women. So... how do we get around this? There is a higher proportion of feminine people to masculine people. It will diminish the opportunity for partnerships for women, whilst some men will be lavisciously supping it up as they get more women to shag! Am I just being paranoid? Because I could swear that this could cause some problems right?

In theory, yes. In practice, no. It can be interpreted as beneficial if anything. Due to the fact that it will slow down population growth on an already overpopulated planet. Not to mention, how many people die single? I'd wager the number is quite high. Now for some, yes this could be do to the fact that they are unable to find a mate, but I would assume the number of those people not to be as high as you believe, simply because some people just enjoy being single. Its not as if every man and woman on earth need to be partnered up, nor would that ever happen even if homosexuality didn't exist. In theory, yes its a problem. In practice, its negligible.

[Photolysis]

Well it's not really as if people are rioting in the streets because some die single (some by choice, some by force of circumstances). Yes you are being paranoid; it's always happened. Technically if all couples had 2 children total then it would eventually cause the extinction of everyone. But this doesn't happen, and in any case, there are way more infertile people than people who can't find partners.

Gay people are like 1% of the total population...Probably not even that. Don't worry.

[Taosaur]

Do you have a source and some numbers for the claim that gay men greatly outnumber lesbians? Anecdotally, having lived in or near gaytown in two different cities for eight years, I always encounter vastly more lesbians than gay men, and at least ten to one bi girls vs. bi guys. I can accept that there are actually more gay men, but I would question it being a significant margin.

[Oneironaut Zero]

Yes. You're being paranoid. There are far too many straight/bisexual people in the world for you to ever have to worry about it being a threat to the reproduction of mankind.

[The Cusp]

Am I just being paranoid? Because I could swear that this could cause some problems right? A problem? I like those odds! Not to mention guys are more likely to die than women, which leaves even more single women! With that kind of supply and demand I should be charging for it.

[Black_Eagle]

Less males to compete with for lusty womanz? Sounds good to me.

[Replicon]

In practice, about 20% of men will shag 80% of women anyway.

So this is why I've been single so long and can't find a halfway decent guy to date to save my life? I knew it.

[Taosaur]

Nina!

[nina]

Yey! Hugs!

[Hercuflea]

well that jus means more hot women for me...

[Universal Mind]

Free love is the answer. :peace: :peace:

[Invader]

Where does it say that every human being needs a mate? Even if by some odd turn of fate there were an equal amount of males to females, there would still be plenty of single people, either due to lack of interest, other priorities, or incompatibility.

[Mes Tarrant]

Well my response has already been covered by several people, so.... yaaaaay banana! But anyhoo, yeah, that's silly. And even in theory, it wouldn't diminish the population anyway. Just one male can impregnate a LOT of women.

[Maria92]

There's, what, 1-3% of the population that is gay? I think the other 97-99% will cope just fine...plus, more chicks for me! Perhaps this will cause women to become more desperate, and seek out men they would not normally go for (nerds, dweebs, etc.). This would in turn lead to more smart people passing on their genes, and a more intelligent society. Just a theory, probably full of holes, but it would be nice if it happened. Also, I'm all for decrease of the population. There are too many people in this world, and it shows.

[mowglycdb]

femenization is something that's happening more in these times. feminine and masculine doesn't have to do much with gay or straight in men. Gay people will know they can cum in a women if it's necesary or done seed if it's necesary o.o.

[nina]

Whoa! Where have you been?! *Hugs* ~ More hugs! Awesome.

[ChaybaChayba]

Ewww girls...

[mowglycdb]

ohhh come on girls are prettyyyyy I'm gay too

[Oneironaut Zero]

So this is why I've been single so long and can't find a halfway decent guy to date to save my life? I knew it. Well, that, and the fact that you moved away from my general area.

[ebullere]

Though there are more gay men than there are gay women, there are a lot of bisexual women. Most queer women identify as bisexual rather than gay, and ultimately queer women outnumber queer men. So no, I don't think there's a problem here. Also, gay people are not 1% of the population as someone here said. Estimates have been given that we're somewhere between 2 and 10%. Definitely 10% if you count other queer peoples like bisexuals, transgendered people, etcetera. Also, it's not like all 6 billion people on the planet are in a relationship at one time. People are constantly breaking up, being single, getting together, hooking up, getting married, divorcing... Also, the more that women have to compete for men, the prettier girls get over time, because men end up selecting the hawtest. Personally I think that's a plus.
