4) My favorite: the Johnny Depp hypothesis. Basically, there are a lot of genes that make you attractive to members of the opposite sex. Get a bunch of these genes, and you're in luck, because they make you 'more feminine' which is attractive to women. Get too many, and you become gay. The notion is that there's a whole bunch of genes which push you closer and closer to the gay tipping point, but also increase your fitness. Sometimes you only get a few, sometimes you get the right balance, sometimes you get a whole load of them and end up homosexual. In this way, all these genes evolve in the population and become more frequent, but as a side effect, homosexuality also sticks around.

Wait so all gay people are sexually attractive?

I dont understand please elaborate.

The hypothesis suggests that there is truth to the commonly held stereotype that women love gay men.

Okay, wait. I have a gay friend, and he is not sexually attractive in any way shape or form (being straight I'm not exactly the best judge of this, but I can tell you he's as dead sexeh as the sexeh Scotsman, and indeed looks quite a lot like him).

The level of attractiveness across the population is what matters.

I don't think you could apply any theory universally, but it is true that homosexuals tend to find it easier to communicate with girls in their teens, because they don't have several gallons of testosterone trying to drop hints in the way that Heterosexual males do, girls who don't pick up on the sexuality will read this as someone who is 'comfortable' around girls, not someone who isn't interested in a sexual relationship, and that will attract them. Often knowing they are gay means that the girl can get a male perspective on certain things in life from a male without having any pressure put on her, the 'Gay Friend' effect.

I've known Gays who wouldn't be considered sexually attractive to women in any way, one of them liked dressing up as Vera Lynn, and yet the number of girls constantly coming round to visit him for a chat, advice or even fashion tips was astonishing.

Those who actually stop and think will realise that Lesbianism is far greater threat to male sexuality than homosexuality is

Yes, but lesbianism is hot... at least in theory.

As one of my friends put it, the main difference between Male and Female interpretations of Lesbianism is the phrase 'with a man watching'

But yes, in essence, I'm not arguing your point...

They're not lesbians if they're trying to get a guy off. They're just irritating ****s who should all die.

[Flipside]

Sez You!

Take everything else, but leave the male half of the species their dreams at least!

[el_magnifico]

Well, you don't decide my sexual fantasies and fetishes. So

[iamzack]

Just informing you. They're not lesbians. They don't even like women most likely. They're just good old-fashioned liars.
