It's rare to read something like this or hear a guy say it, but it's true. The reason, I believe, that this is so is because of our instincts and the evolution of our culture. <br /><br />Men throughout history sought to attract mates by coming off as the "alpha male" as they say. This is primarily why we want to be star athletes, rock stars, the hit at the party, and the winner of any given contest. <br /><br />In our culture, when you put the "homosexual" or "feminine" label on a guy, there's a contest going on there, and you won it. If he's gay, you are the "alpha male". Even if there is no female around, we're bred to avoid these labels at all costs because our subconscious is telling us that we'll never get laid now, and that directly contradicts or instinct to reproduce.<br /><br />We avoid showing more than a certain level of compassion towards men, especially when we can be overheard (or read) by other men, because it leaves us wide-open for the "you're gay" label, and as I explained, we've developed to avoid that at all costs. I'm comfortable saying what I want to other men at this point after having thought it all through, and I admire anyone else, like yourself, who is the same way. Actually, being honest and intelligent has got me way more women than trying to be the tough guy ever did. Remember, if you can out-smart that guy calling you gay, YOU become the "alpha male."Three Toehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287412774965642160noreply@blogger.com
