First, I have to say that not all women fit the following characterization (and a lot of males probably fit it). In most cases when I say “women” it would be appropriate to modify that with “in general.” However, the majority of females I know fits it to some extent.
With that said, I have come to the conclusion that I am sort of glad I am a homosexual. Frankly, women are difficult. My parents separated when I was about 10, and I lived with my dad between then and when I moved out to go to college. He dated several women during that time (and he also had several female friends), and, while I really wasn’t interested in the dynamics of his relationships, I couldn’t help but observe several things (furthermore, he would often complain to me about his girlfriends or women in general).
Also, being a person, I have interacted with females on my own. I have a mother and a sister. I also have an aunt who I am very close with. Those three women do not generally fit this characterization I am making about women, which is why I like being around all of them. My aunt, for example, is a former business executive. She is incredibly rational. Most women, however, don’t seem to be. I have been around many other women, and most seem to be rather difficult.
What I have concluded from my various interactions with females and from observing other people’s interactions with females is that they often communicate in a very subtle manner, and that other people not picking up on this subtlety is what often causes the “drama” they are known for. Not only do they communicate in this manner, but they expect everyone else to do so as well, and if you fail to do so, there is Hell Toupée.
So, here is why I am happy not to have to have relationships with women. Most normal men seem to have trouble understanding what women are thinking, because they have trouble picking up subtleties. However, I have trouble picking up some things that would be obvious to most men. When it comes to social cues, I am often entirely oblivious. Furthermore, I am stubborn. Not only do I not pick up many social cues, but I utterly refuse to care about them. And if you give me a hard time about it, I will give you a hard time back. You might be able to see why I might not be able to have a successful relationship with a woman. Also, women often think emotionally (to a greater extent than men do, in general). I’ve had many arguments with my dad, who isn’t an exceptionally emotional person, that resulted from him refusing to be sufficiently logical, and from myself refusing to relent my logicality.
In general, people who understand me and how I think (most of the time, my dad and my aunt fit this description, and my mom is so mild mannered that it is never even issue with her) get along with me perfectly, but those who don’t often have uncomfortable or strained relationships with me. In addition, people are often put off by my tactlessness. Being someone who doesn’t like drama, I have learned to be more tactful in some cases, but this also results in bottled up frustration which has a tendency to cause me to explode (in rage).
I don’t deal with this subtlety shit (I also don’t tolerate manipulation or passive-aggressiveness, which are other things women often do). I simply don’t have relationships (friendships included) with people who are like that. So, I’m probably more likely to find a guy who is level-headed and more likely to get along with me than I am a woman. Anyway, that is one way you can look at being gay.
