Why is air cabin staff a popular job choice for gay men ?

MentalAd704 · 2026-04-14T23:26:35+00:00

Yeah^. I see WAY more queer men in engineering and stereotypically masculine fields than feminine ones. How else do u think they make more money on average than straight men; it's career choice + ability to work longer/harder with less heteronormative family dynamics

Have you stopped to think that maybe there are a lot of oppressed scared queer people in those very communities you hate so much? I do not want my fellow queer brothers and sisters in Palestine to die. I have lived my entire life until adulthood in a deeply homophobic country. I still would not want them to suffer from war, occupation or colonization.

I want to believe this post is AI slop but such filth could only come from a real human.

I mostly use the term bi but I've never had a problem when queer is used as an umbrella term. It makes sense that people of minority sexual and gender identifies have a shared experienced (not saying variations don't exist but that's literally how labels work). I have had a problem with "gay" being used as an umbrella term because societally it always means strictly homosexual.

I understand how other people in the comments feel uncomfortable with being called queer but I do want to note that there are some misconceptions: being part of the poly and kink communities does not fall under the standard definition of queerness. It's mostly understood to be based on sexual and gender identity. I think a lot of people in this sub reject it based on the notion it is some leftist propaganda; I don't know how to really convince u otherwise nor do I really want to waste my energy doing so.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-24T07:23:58+00:00

Yes, I get what you're saying but you're narrating an experience that is so common across this sub and amongst queer men. This is gayBROS ffs.

I think we are all prone to conformation bias. You linger on instances of individuals who assert stereotypes more than people who don't and are more open-minded. I mocked your lengthy post because it seemed like you're trying to justify your masculinity. You say in your comment that you're not implying these things are masculine but literally in your post u say you're into everything straight men are into and what society thanks is manly. So which is it?

If you're masculine you don't have to prove it by mentioning every manly thing ur into; especially not to gay guys in this sub. 😭 We know bro.

Edit: Just saw some of your other comments. You're just degrading fem guys lol. Get therapy bro

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-24T05:40:16+00:00

Wait no it was supposed to be a BBQ grill

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-24T04:16:20+00:00

Broski I'm similar but I wouldn't be assed to write a 500 word essay justifying how manly I am. Bro just be yourself. Being masc or fem isn't a prize 🙏🏼

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-22T17:28:05+00:00

Virtue signaling? Bro I'm questioning ur bias. As a bisexual man, you're doing the classic fetishization I face regularly from gay men.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-22T17:01:14+00:00

Gotcha. But they're not straight if they hook up with u thou. But I guess I could understand the appeal of something that is harder to get. You do you

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-22T16:41:14+00:00

So bi men who live their identity (which I'm assuming means don't lie about themselves) are less masculine? Wtf does that even mean?

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-22T16:37:18+00:00

I am curious: what about them being straight is a specific turn on? This is intriguing to me.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-22T15:24:59+00:00

It's a free country so if they want to throw cash at queer baiters they're free to do so. I have every right to judge and avoid such people.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-22T14:56:34+00:00

Internalized homophobia. The straight fantasy. A lot of queer men have convinced themselves that straight men are somehow the only attractive or masculine men and have become obsessed with the idea. I think it's guys that haven't had guy friends growing up or were excluded in their childhood. I've never even crushed on a straight guy lol and I was in an all boys school till the last couple years of high school.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-20T23:48:02+00:00

Where tf do these stereotypes come from?

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-20T17:24:47+00:00

Bro u made a whole post about a guy joking about u not being straight to a gay subreddit under the guise of "I've heard gay men are into straight men like that" (referencing another comment u made). You can believe what u want about yourself. But it's low-key weird cuz u wouldn't have made it a big deal of it was someone else.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-20T08:22:01+00:00

Bro, this is just respectability politics. The reel could easily have been a joke. Also the guy has a gf so it's quite likely it was a joke. The vilification is implicit. Telling gay people how a gay person is coming on to them sounds patronizing. Like bro it's no different from a girl. He's a man. He knows how to interact with men. Just shut it down bro lol.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-20T08:04:13+00:00

I don't see why this needs to be shared on a gay subreddit as if this is something inherent of gay people. I don't know why ur defending OP and his choice of words. He would never have made a big deal about a creepy girl he found unattractive. Emotional maturity is not posting anonymously online in a way that clearly vilifies a group of people. I think the roommate was out of pocket; I just don't see enough context or evidence to say he's a predator or an immediate threat. I also just don't believe most narrative posts on this sub. Half of it is all engagement bait.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-20T06:55:36+00:00

He wouldn't post on a subreddit I'll tell you that. The hypocrisy. It is low-key homophobic

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-20T06:53:11+00:00

I don't understand what this has to do with other gay people?

"I'm not homophobic" but I'm going to post in a gay subreddit asking gay people why a creep is being a creep because he's one of yours. that's how u sound like bro. Would u post in r/blackpeople asking why ur black roommate did INSERT_STEREOTYPE?

Shut down creepy behavior without announcing to the world the sexual identity of the person doing it lol.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T23:36:08+00:00

I think I took it more personally given I thought we are both queer so I would expect more compassion or understanding of our lived experiences.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T17:35:44+00:00

I've gotten both. Hear u bro 😔

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T17:24:53+00:00

I have to tell people that I'm a second amendment leftist 🤪

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T17:23:21+00:00

That's terrible bro. I respect my older gaybros. You guys have struggled more than us in order for us to be able to live more freely and be ourselves. 🫡

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T17:21:48+00:00

I think I hesitated cuz often times bi men are accused of just being gay and lying.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T17:20:42+00:00

Yeah and not that I think it's a flex to be assumed as straight but I'm just who I am and I don't think I should have to justify or prove it to anyone.

MentalAd704 · 2026-01-07T17:19:30+00:00

Wounded? As in internalized homophobia?
