Gay men seem to have maintained the sexual revolution in their world, whereas straight dating is lot less what it was in the 90s/00s. I don’t have to date anymore, but I went back to undergrad late and there were a lot of straight people, men and women, who just did not fuck. Not ugly either. The ones who did tended to do it a lot and run in the same social circles. Was not the case the first time I gave college a go. The ones who abstained were more focused on hanging out with their friends. For gay men, that was not the case. I think straight people have over complicated their relationships. There are too many games, too much anxiety, too much narcissism on both sides- even if it’s not particularly well deserved. For instance, people do not really want what they claim they want. “Incels” or men who struggle with dating I think want to have sex with the hottest women possible, but either can’t do it or aren’t willing to work for it. And I think the same is true of straight or ostensibly “bi” women- everyone feels deserving of the cream of the crop but they probably aren’t lol. I also never see a focus on the positive aspects of straight dating or the idea of dating. Think about it- are there any straight relationships in popular media that aren’t portrayed as toxic or way overly complicated outside of the MCU or something else meant for children? I can’t think of any. There may be some, but they aren’t exactly the norm. If female sexuality for men is alien, then male sexuality for women I think has been obscured or warped, and it’s partially straight men’s fault.
