Gay vs. straight: pickiness on looks. What do you think?

[peaceNlove]

Okay so, do you think in general that straight people are pickier when it comes to the looks of people they like, do you think gay people are, or do you think it's the same? Me and my friend were discussing this and we just seemed to think that gay people are less picky or at least with our experience with gay, lesbian, and straight friends. Just for example, i hear my straight friends talk about how they want their girlfriend or boyfriend to look like this and that( certain hair color, height, eye color, skin color), but my gay friends don't really do that. This is just something i witnessed not something that I'm trying to stereotype btw. So, what do you think?

I think it depends on who it is that you ask. Everyone is different, and I don't think you can generalize. I'm gay, and I do not have a certain guy that I am looking for. Of course I know what I don't like, but I am not very picky to answer your question.

Yea thats true. Some people are picky and some are not. Im not really picky myself. I guess I just ended up with picky friends that just happened to be straight and gay friends that weren't. I guess it could've been the opposite way.

I think it's pretty equal, but like the person above me said, it will depend greatly on who you ask, how old they are, what they're into, how many people the have "available" (e.g straight people: a fucking lot of people, gays: not so much).

I think most people have a general idea of the person they want, like they don't want to date someone a polar opposite of them, but when it's comes to specifics, smart people don't expect a very specific type of person because they'll be very lonely, I don't mean to imply people who don't have a specific type of person they want are purposely lowering their expectations, I'm just sayin'. I think gay people are really happy to have something to relate to and being gay is one of those things, so while a general person that a straight person wants may be tall, well-dressed, polite, likes book a gay person could be just gay, and general human niceness. You see, like, in my example, the thing they bond over is books, for the gay it's being gay itself because it is uncommon compared to straight people.

This went way off topic and I don't really have any idea what I just said.

I think it's pretty equal to an extent. However, assuming you're in high school, the pool for an LGBT student to choose from to date is pretty small, so they can't be picky. Therefore, I think they may seem less picky.

However, there is a very large problem with how shallow the gay (at least gay male) media and community can be. There's this whole Adonis complex where people want the idol man body and looks and anything less than that isn't good enough, which is just shallow and ridiculous. It pressures people to do strive for unattainable bodies and looks. Not good stuff. But, this tends to develop from college and forward.

It depends on the person.

You're straight, do you like every other straight person, I think not. Gay or bi people aren't less picky if you like someone you don't just like them cause they're straight right. I think it's the same way with gay people

Some gay are less picky cause there's fewer of us so it seems like we have to be. Others are quite picky anyway. As far as natural attraction, i really doubt its any different

Yea that makes sense. I was thinking that too.

Oh yea i understand what you're saying (I'm not straight though, I'm bi). Overall I'm not a picky person, so i guess it just depends on the person.

I'm bisexual; Im not that picky. As long as it looks human it's fine to me. But personality wise as long as they hold off on sexual conversation for a few days/weeks. Because all I care about is that they love me :)

I'm gay and I'm a picky bastard! I don't feel just because there are less gay people i should be with someone not particularly attractive. I do think that some gay guys just go with whatever because it's more difficult to find a partner though.

Lol! Yea i think some people just settle for anyone. I've done before. That relationship was super boring!

Sexuality doesn't even come into it. I'd say I'm more picky than my straight friends, but that's not because I'm gay, it's just that most of my straight male friends seem to go for any girl with big enough boobs!

Yea you're right, it doesn't depend on the sexuality, it depends on the person.
