Why So Many Women Want To Befriend Gay Men

For years, friendships between straight women and gay men have been a subject of pop culture fascination. Books, television shows and feature length films have all highlighted this unique relationship, noted for its closeness and depth. But with society’s attitudes toward gays and lesbians changing, it’s become all the more important to build a holistic understanding of the relationships between gay and straight people. As a researcher in social psychology, I’ve often wondered: why do straight female-gay male relationships work so well? Why are straight women so drawn to having gay men as friends? And when do these relationships typically form? The trailer for ‘G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend),’ a 2013 teen comedy film. During the course of my research, I’ve discovered that the most interesting,...

How Men Can Break The Insidious Cycle Of Relationship

It takes a long time to build a relationship. But it does not take long to destroy it. In fact, the cycle of failure needs no pushing; it gathers its own momentum. And once it does so, it becomes very difficult to stop it or put it in reverse gear. The important thing is to stop the cycle of failure from moving on its own. This can only be done if the two partners realize what's happening. One of them has to step forward, and stop the relationship from cracking. Often it is men who are responsible for the emerging cracks in a relationship. This happens when they are overambitious or move up the ladder. They get so obsessed with their work that they forget their spouses. The distances increase, and a rift develops. A relationship may also get affected if the man enters into another relat...

Poll Finds: A Record Number Of Americans Back Same-Sex Marriage

Support for marriage equality remains high across the United States, with new Gallup polling published Wednesday finding that a record 71 percent of Americans are in favor of it. The results are slightly higher than last year’s, when 70 percent of respondents backed same-sex marriage. The findings, from telephone interviews conducted throughout May, carry extra significance in the wake of the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade. LGBTQ+ legal experts have warned that overturning Roe could endanger marriage equality by eroding the right to privacy typically protected by the 14th Amendment’s right to due process. The Gallup polling underlines how the court’s potential decision on Roe — and the potential consequences for Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that lega...

Dating, Aging And The Gay Man

The gay scene in Toronto Canada is probably like that of many other large cities in that it suffers from ageism. It seems to be the place for the youth with little room for men in their 40's, 50's and beyond. The trouble is that there appears to be a large contingent of men in that age group. There also seems to be less and less ways to connect with other gay men of the same age. There are fewer bars and dance clubs for the gay man in general, and even fewer for the older gay man. But a lot of gay men don't want to go to a bar anyway. So where and how do they connect? For the sports oriented individual, at least in Toronto, there are gay leagues and teams for almost any sport from tennis to bowling. These are great - unless you are not a sports fan. Tech savvy men have the use of dating we...

In this article, if you are still confused on how to flirt, two specific flirting techniques will be discussed to help make flirting easier. They are Push/pull and a playfully challenging vibe.

So Your Ex Boyfriend Doing The No Contact – How To Emotionally Handle This

"My ex boyfriend is doing no contact, I miss him so much!" That begins many conversations that women have in the days following their break up. They wake up one day, text their ex boyfriend, try to call him and then make the difficult realization that he's following the no contact rule. The knowledge that the man you still love is purposefully ignoring you is a bitter pill to swallow. It's harsh and it's real. It stings and it can leave a woman obsessed with the broken relationship and what she can do to fix it. It's natural to feel overwhelmed and incredibly worried when you come to terms with the fact that your ex is no longer talking to you. Instead of panicking, there is a better way. Acceptance is going to help you immeasurably and may even be the key to getting him to come back to yo...

The Role Of Relationship Therapists & Counselors

Adults are embarrassed about sex because of their emotional insecurities. Our emotional needs include a need to impress, a need to belong and a need to be valued. Some people lack self-esteem, which stems from anxiety. Women tend to be much less confident than men, which is quite natural. We avoid discussing relationship issues for various reasons. We want to avoid conflict. We don't want to admit that we have behaved badly, that we have said things we shouldn't have or that we were wrong. We may want to continue behaving in a way that suits us but that we cannot justify logically. The suggestion that women can enjoy sexual pleasure through intercourse in erotic fiction (and the sexual bravado of both sexes in society) drives everyone's interest in any story that suggests intercourse might...

The Dating Jungle: How Men And Women See Each Other When Online Dating

In the world of online dating, nothing is as it seems. But that doesn’t stop many of us from leaping to the wrong conclusions about people. A recent paper presented at the Annual Conference of the International Communication Association and reported on in the press suggested that when evaluating photographs from online dating profiles, men and women judge enhanced and un-enhanced photos somewhat differently. Enhanced photos, those in which a person has used makeup, hair styling, filters, or post-editing, were rated by both men and women as more being attractive. But while women also rated men in these photos as more trustworthy than in ordinary photos, the opposite was true of women: men rated women in enhanced photos as less trustworthy. One theory posits that “what is beautiful is good”,...
