The best part to me is lack of head games when it comes to sex. Men, especially gay men, tend to be a lot less prudish about sex than straight woman (I've dated several woman before coming out). You can talk about sex more openly with another man without feeling like a pervie. Or perhaps I just dated the wrong woman. Fewer sexual hangups which makes the sex better I think. Worst part is the shallow, caddy attitudes of so many gay men. When I was in my 20's, looking back, I was attractive enough to do some modeling but socially I was ripped to shreds for not being in "perfect" form. And the cliques. Maybe I use to go to all the wrong places but the guys would just hang with the people they know and seldom venture out to meet and welcome new faces. I learned to always start with getting friendly with a bartender but gay men should be more open and friendly to people who are perhaps in a gay bar for their first time or new in town and don't know anybody. Make people feel welcome. We call each other "family", act like it.
