There's a character in The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Tereza, who speaks about the 'unspoken fraternity' of all readers. She describes the pleasant sense of union she feels when observing someone else enjoying a book. She doesn't say 'a good book', or a 'challenging book', just 'a book'. That's how I feel too. I don't care what people are reading, as long as they're passionate and sincere about it.

Certain cultural trends will make it difficult for you to find a woman who takes art or philosophy as serious as you do. This is a shame, and sometimes I wish it weren't true, sometimes I do. A woman in the arts probably is more concerned with the social impact/implications of the art and in philosophy thinks they're fun ideas to think about but ultimately doesn't really care. It interests them as a business job interests them; they care, they might even have a passion for it, but view it very pragmatically, as a marginal pursuit of life.

Women have been cultivated in western society to be emotional, while men are cultivated to be logical. Even in current culture, (TV shows like The Mentalist, Castle, Perception), the women are in charge, yes, but the men still play the intellectual/creative/theoretical roles while the women keep to, not so much emotions, but pragmatic matters. So you still have the concrete/abstract dichotomy in there. Even with the push for feminism, it makes you wonder if females actually aren't biologically inclined to the abstract (not necessarily a bad thing).

Think about this as well: women stereotypically choose a mate based on profession/income (very pragmatic things), but men don't. It's just one of those weird ways our culture manipulates values. I think it would be curious if those values were biological, but obviously there's a lot of gray area, and I wouldn't say they definitely a sex is one way or the other at this juncture.

Guys, not one of you started off on reading 'serious' literature. Your first books were not special card board printed copies of Finnegan's wake, with big colorful pictures and special chew-able child friendly pages.

Your first books were almost certainly about the struggle of small, cartoon furry animals, undergoing crisis in life while looking for round (usually) red rubber balls, meeting lots of other cute cartoon animals and all having a happy little dance at the end before going home for dinner.

And you must of enjoyed reading them at the time as you kept progressing...

That means you're the submissive, faggy kind of gay, like a girl. What you want in a man is what a girl wants in a man.

The other kind of gay is the manly kind, that wants in a man what a straight guy wants in a girl.

I'm the faggy kind too, but of bi, so I have an excuse to keep coming to these discussions.

More? You want some more?

Alright, well, you know how they say male sexuality is more set in stone while female sexuality is fluid? And that's why there's so many more bi girls?

So I reckon gay male sexuality is more like male heterosexuality than bisexuality, because the former are basically the same except for who they're attracted to, while bisexuality, at least in my case, is more fluid, like female sexuality.

But if you're bi then you don't need to stop contributing!

No, there are more "bi" girls because they're sluts and they do it for the attention from heterosexual males.

For the record, I'm a bisexual male who has not yet participated in this conversation. I don't make much of a distinction between heterosexual and homosexual males. I think sexuality is always fluid, but societal factors tend to force people on one side of the fence.

>tfw you will never make out with a girl to get attention from heterosexual males

I agree, but the societal factors are much stronger on men, which is why more of them only deviate in one way (who they're attracted too) and not in how easily they're attracted to both genders, like girls and bi guys.

Yeah, I agree. I would say that many men have some degree of bisexuality, though. That's why there are plenty of "totally str8" guys cruising craigslist for anonymous cock.

Despite having a physical attraction to both genders (and describing myself as "bisexual"), I consider myself gay in all practical sense. So I'm an example of this too, I suppose, except on the other side of the fence.

>> No.3359431

>>3359419
Oh yeah, I forget about craigslist. I suppose that means male bisexuality is totally there just under the surface, just with more pressure to suppress it.

Why do you consider yourself gay? To the extent that I consider myself either single-object-of-attraction sexuality, I think of myself as straight, and would even in a relationship with a guy, likely because it would make me feel like a straight girl.

A general distaste of women, I suppose. I used to think similarly to you, but I became more accepting of my masculinity. However, I do prefer the sort of homosexual relationship that is analogous to a heterosexual relationship (i.e. dominant and submissive roles).
