Why are gay guys so attractive

What Gay and Bi Men Really Want

Are physical and sexual attraction the most appealing qualities in a partner? Or are unseen qualities like good manners and reliability the most attractive?

Following on from his investigate into what linear women want and what straight men want, D&M Research’s managing director Derek Jones has taken the next valid step with his latest study into what gay and bi(sexual) men want.

In order to scoop deeper and depict out a correct list of turn-ons and turn-offs for gay and bi men, Derek once again used of the Im-Ex Polygraph method. He originally devised this way of analysis to distinguish what people say they want from brands, products or services from what they really want by comparing stated versus derived measures of importance.

Qualities the gay and bi men said they desired in a partner (‘stated’) were compared to the qualities present in example celebrities they nominated as attractive (‘implied’). The similar comparison was made between stated and implied negative qualities, to determine what attributes are really the biggest turn-offs.

I've never had a gay male friend which now that I assume about it is probably a little strange since I'm bisexual. I assume I'm just not into the flamboyant feminine gal pal gay guy- and those tend to be the main type of gay men I experience. I have a lot of male friends and the reason I've often enjoyed these friendships is because of the way these men think, the logic, and approach they take to various situations that differ greatly between myself as well as my female friendsI love that difference and that is often why I choose to have friendships with men. With flashy feminine gay guys I tend to feel prefer they are similar to women but look appreciate "pretty" men and that combination just tends not to resonate well with me. It's always nonplussed me in fact--but I have many friends that have gay male friends and many of them enjoy these friendships for the exact reasons listed in this thread.

Re: i'm a female & i'm (sexually) attracted to gay guys

Got it, so it does sound like a big part of this simply has to do with a certain type of guy (but not the only type of guy) you find attractive.

When you want to be a guy in those moments, what is it, specifically, that you want? Is it to be able to engage in certain things sexually? To have a certain role in a sexual dynamic? Something else? And when you say this happens when you see adorable gay guys in your surroundings, are those guys who you know are gay, or who gaze a certain way?

With fetishizing or objectifying people, that depends on whether you see these guys as individual, unique humans or more as a blank slate that you can project your desires onto. It's also sound to think about what's attracting you to them and how much of it might be based on stereotypes about that specific group (it might be the case that none of it is) rather than the realities of that individual person.

Facing your preferences

A new research from a researcher at Harvard University finds that gay men are most attracted to the most masculine-faced men, while direct men prefer the most feminine-faced women.

The findings suggest that regardless of sexual orientation, men’s brains are wired for attraction to sexually dimorphic faces — those with facial features that are most synonymous with gender.

The explore is published online in the journal Archives of Sexual Conduct, and was led by Aaron Glassenberg, while completing his master’s degree in the Department of Psychology at Harvard. Glassenberg is a doctoral student in organizational behavior in Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School. Glassenberg’s co-authors are David Feinberg of McMaster University in Ontario, Benedict Jones and Lisa DeBruine of the University of Aberdeen, and Anthony Small of the University of Stirling, both in Scotland.

“Our work showed that gay men found highly masculine male faces to be significantly more attractive than feminine male faces. Also, the types of male faces t
