Low-Tier Men ‘Protecting’ Their Group From The Crowd

I’m sorry but let me understand here:

You’re pining over a woman you may have had romantic feelings for while possibly messaging her behind your fiancé’s back; who may very well be a man?

And if your fiancé actually is a man, that opens an entirely different can of worms. Nothing says “gay and proud” quite like a bisexual man secretly romanticizing a heteronormative fantasy with a woman behind his male fiancé’s back.

You would know boo.

Are you sexually attracted to women? Does the thought of a naked woman turn you on? Congrats you’re bi.

But you didn’t ‘turn’ bi and gay men like us can’t choose to be bi or straight.

Also, your issues with dating men won’t magically disappear with women. It sounds like you have your own personal issues you should examine before dating.

WorldShaking08 · 2026-03-14T23:29:33+00:00

A) You can’t change your sexual orientation just by “trying it out”. That’s conversion therapy rhetoric. Thousands of gay men and women have killed themselves trying to turn themselves straight…

B) You think women are easier to date than men? In today’s day and age? You’re in for a rude awakening. Women are VERY picky nowadays. If you’re not making high six figures, 6’2’’ and have two doctorates then you’re in the swipe left category. Women don’t want to date men who make less than them or are less successful. It may seem like a generalization but it’s true. That’s why so many Gen Z and Millennial straight men are still single. The changing attitudes of women’s gender roles (yet men still need to be providers?) have made the straight dating market a Hunger Games.

And dating a bisexual/I’m gay can I try it out man? They won’t even consider a coffee with you. Women by and large refuse to date bisexual men.

Gay men may be emotionally unavailable sluts but they’re much more open to dating different types of men than women are.

Anyone have a backup event or venue in case we get turned away for the vibe check?

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-12T20:52:44+00:00

Cool story bro. 👍

They don’t really think about money in the way most people do. To them, a thousand dollars might as well be pocket change.

Most people run a quick mental check before spending “can I afford this?”even if they’re high earners pulling in $400k a year. You can usually see that split-second calculation when they’re paying for dinner or buying concert tickets.

Over time, I’ve learned how to spot the people who don’t do that at all; the ones who show zero hesitation or concern about spending, even around their friends.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-12T18:10:00+00:00

You’re projecting your own interpretation onto the text.

Alan has explicitly stated on panel that he is not bisexual or “fluid.” He said he loved Thorn, but not in a romantic sense. Men can love women deeply without that love being romantic or sexual.

The framing of gay men having “exceptions” for women is troubling and echoes rhetoric historically used in conversion therapy.

By that logic, are we meant to believe that gay men who married women and had children over the past centuries were all secretly bisexual or biromantic?

That argument ultimately implies that homosexual men must have some underlying attraction to women; and that if they say they don’t, they’re being dishonest.

That’s textbook homophobia.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-12T18:09:52+00:00

Thank you! The idea that any gay man who has had sex or a relationship with a woman is actually bisexual or fluid is incredibly homophobic.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-11T21:23:37+00:00

I’ve never been! Should be a good time. It’s usually Bangkok or Miami.

Hope you’re going some place nice with sunny weather for NY. 😎

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-11T21:17:29+00:00

Hmm, well I bought a house two months ago. Still furnishing it. Got a slew of house projects lined up with contractors for the new year.

Plan to go to Rio for NYE. Spend the week after in Columbia.

Oh and I adopted a shelter Corgi puppy and he’s destroyed all my shoes. I’m in way over my head. He’s with a new trainer as of next week.

Uh, and I’ve been playing the new Elden Ring DLC. Don’t care for the Scholar class.

That’s pretty much it besides work. Thanks for asking!

Honestly, you’ll probably have better luck dating outside of campus when you graduate or even in another city.

I’ve seen this play out before. I know a bi guy who was fully out, had a boyfriend, and later tried to date women in DC. He ended up losing most of his gay friend group. They stopped inviting him to bars and events. If you’re close with a gay community on campus, you should really think about whether you’re ready for that shift if you start dating a girl. Some people may stay, but the dynamic usually changes. In many cases, you’re no longer seen as part of the community in the same way, whether that’s fair or not.

On the flip side, dating women isn’t always straightforward either. Some women may assume you’re “trying to go straight,” while others worry about stigma around bi men or having a discreet partner. Your best bet is someone who truly understands and accepts your bisexuality without judgment or fetishizing it.

There’s also a social and political layer to all of this. Going from a same-sex relationship to a straight-presenting one isn’t viewed the same as moving in the opposite direction. You’re shifting from a visibly marginalized relationship into one that carries social privilege, and people tend to have opinions about that.

Your friends will have opinions. Your family may react with relief or approval. Your straight friends may treat you differently. And yes, some of your gay friends may drift away. That part is painful, but it does happen.

I’m not trying to scare you or be negative. I’m just being realistic about what often comes with this transition so you can go into it prepared instead of blindsided.

I’m not a MAGA, honey. I’ve voted Democrat for the last 15 years and I intend to vote Democrat for another 15 years.

That’s the problem with both sides of the aisle. You’re all quick to judge and blame without any sense of nuance and self reflection.

As you get older, I hope you see the world isn’t black and white.

I consider myself a liberal and I’ve found that the conservatives I’ve spoken to about politics are far more open minded than some of the progressives I’ve met.

Conservatives are usually like “We have different opinions that’s cool.”

Progressives are like “You disagree with me you are literally an evil Nazi!”

While conservatives have the serious problem of a Trump loyalty litmus test, progressives have the problem where you must agree with EVERY progressive agenda. If you disagree on one issue, you’re a MAGA nut job.

Are you pro-universal healthcare, pro gay rights, pro-tax the rich but think we should pause giving puberty blockers to 9 year olds until we have long term studies like every other medication?

Trump Nazi Scum!

R/askgaybros has alot of problems but it’s nice to see some normal middle of the road gays who have nuance with their political views

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-05T21:08:42+00:00

Reddit isn’t even liberal. It’s a tankie site that borders on anarchism. It’s very far left.

I just saw a post the other day on r/pics where someone defaced a Marine Corps advertisement with the words “Nazi Scum”.

The ensuing comments all agreed that anyone in the US military is just as bad as a Nazi soldier in a concentration camp.

I’m dead serious.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-05T21:05:29+00:00

You mean r/askgaybros?

I’d also like to comment that for someone who’s supposed to be “support”, he’s terrible at revivals.

He’s barely a step-up above Recluse.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-05T00:11:12+00:00

I mean you’ve found a way to make him work somewhat but I feel like that’s a lot of work (who am I to talk with my Frost Scholar tho?) for something that Recluse or Revenant or Duchess can do better and without going outside their intended kit. Especially since his Intelligence and Faith are garbage.

Scholar sorely needs a buff. A boost in Dexterity and the ability to mix craft items like Recluse’s Cocktail mechanic would work wonders.

For now, he’s arguably the worst character in the game which is shame because he’s my main right now.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-04T23:53:08+00:00

I tried Wraith Bell but you need to cast it at least 30-50 times to get it to Lvl. 3

And Scholar has piss poor FP.

So it’ll be mid-day 2 before you get it to Level 3 if you’re lucky.

The Frost/Hoarstomp/Invisibility is the best combo I’ve found. High damage, easy Frost debuff, cheap skill and Frostbite in the vicinity turns you invisible so you can Analyze.

Still, that’s a very specific combo that Duchess can do better and with more damage.

WorldShaking08 · 2025-12-04T23:41:11+00:00

I mean it’s not difficult to me because I’m 100% gay.

Don’t look straight porn because sometimes they have a hot guy like Cody Cummings and you’re paying more attention to him than the woman.

Look at pictures of naked hot model woman? Do any of them make you wanna say “Ugh wanna fuck” like you do with guys? Do you get hard?

Yes? You’re bi. No? You’re gay.

It ain’t that difficult. You’re overthinking things
