Gays don't fall in love, they fall in lust.


The above is the poll question.

Have I been living with false hope all my life, of finding love? That's rhetorical. :-)

1. No, I think that's an incorrect assertion.

I think homosexuals are entirely capable of falling in love and do, just like heterosexuals.

2. The writer was treated badly. But as a blanket statement....

"gays don't fall in love, they fall in lust"

That's simply not true.

And Hypnotoad. Your prince will come. Trust me.

3. No. And, besides,

It's not a straight-gay thing, it's a man thing. And men can, and often do, fall in love.

It's just that some of us (myself NOT included) are into being tomcats for a while. I've seen this with gays, and with straights like myself. I suspect that gays have the advantage, here, since straight guys who fuck around have to a.) lower their standards, or b.) be incredible jerks to their erstwhile partners when they tire of them, or c.) both.

6. You know, I could respond with the mutha' of all double entendres,

but even that would invite deletion. :evilgrin: (Okay, so I'm partially slime too... :D )
