Really? I have heard differently. I mean it's true in the dating sense of searching for relationships. However if you are single I hear getting laid is waaaay easier. They just straight up ask and go. So I'm told. What the hell do I know?

[–] Vibi@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's different in some ways. Most of my friends are gay and they have specific apps for specific things. It seems very straightforward to find people to hook up with, but that's different than dating and looking for a relationship. Just like most people, many have various issues most likely stemming from society being lame about sexuality and such. They'll find someone who seems entirely put together and then get slammed with issues relating to abandonment, insecurities about their masculinity, or crazy jealousy.... So pretty much normal stuff.

That last part happened to my cousin. He dated a guy for a few years and everyone liked him a lot. After they got married, he let all the crazy out and became mentally and physically abusive. It apparently started pretty much immediately after marriage, but it took several years before anyone found out what was happening.

[–] RoquetteQueen@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

That's pretty standard for any abusive relationship. The abuser usually waits until they feel like their partner can't escape before they become awful.

[–] Elderos@lemmings.world 16 points 10 months ago

Yep, to the point where it is actually hard to meet with someone who is not immediately expecting sex.

It depends on the country you live in, really. I understand where you're coming from with this idea. In my home country, it appears that gay people are more open about their relationships than heterosexual people. It's a conservative country on this topic, but once I started traveling the world, I've come to learn that it's not the truth.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This comment is so open ended... how is it not the truth? It's a comparison... so do gay people get laid less in other countries, or so straight people get laid more?

[–] mstrk@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Apologies, English is not my native language. If you get to see my reply eventually, it means that straight people have the same chances as gay people in less conservative countries. So by your own words, straight folks, men and woman, get laid more.
