A Stereotype above all else

[Wheatley]

Hey,

So now that I've been at uni for a while and met with mature people (in the sense that they aren't 15 year old slaves of society), I've noticed that a lot of stereotypes and judgements towards gay people has subsided (as expected - and very much appreciated).

However, the one that still seems to prevail is that "gay boys are popular with, have had and can talk to girls".

Am I the only one who has a huge problem with this idea?

I find it hard to talk to girls still, purely because there's not much to talk about. I don't "window shop" for boys, and without assuming stereotypical gender roles Me and girl's just don't often have that much in common.

It may be because I came out as bisexual at school and thus got rejected by both genders, but I've never had many friends who are girls either.

Sorry, just a little rant, nice to get off my chest. Feel free to share your thoughts on this.

Thanks!

It just depends on the type of person that you are. Try not to look at gender, naturally gay guys do befriend females easier, I wish I knew why. Just one of those things in which it's just the way it is.

However there are many that just mostly have guy friends. Then there are some that have a mixture of both genders are friends. Don't worry too much about it. In addition, don't worry too much about this stereotype either. Befriend who you want to, not what is expected of you.

Approach someone and explore new relationships with an open mind. If they happen to be male or female. You said it yourself being bisexual make take a toll on this issue. I do wish the best for you though. :)

People who attend universities are generally smarter than those who don't.
In the UK only 50% of the population attended/attends university.
34% of the 27-year-olds had achieved a bachelor's degree or higher (US.)
This is just a quick google statistics. Numbers may be a bit different.

I personally have no problem talking to girls but I just don't, I usually have absolutely zero interest in them even as friends.
