Has anyone noticed that the three guys pictured in the advertisement are rather young, have flawless complextions, and look like they could be directly from any high school athletic team.

I don't see any gray haired, toothless wonders, or belly busters. I'd imagine that they are far too young to even consider "marriage" ---- much less be father material, yet...

I just wonder who informed them that they had to be "gay" and that they were hopeless as far as the ladies were concerned?

And L-N, why are YOU starting a gay thread.

For goodness sakes sir. Don't stir up the mob.

I don't know what the ad is that you're looking at.

But you seem to be confused about what being gay is.

I can't see the ads, but from your description I don't see anything 'gay' about it :confused:.

I am not sure I know the Ad you are referring to. A link or something would be nice, since you go on to talk about the Ad in more detail.

EDIT!!! Be sure this is not an Ad that appears on this site at any time, otherwise I fear this thread will be closed...

You expect an advertisement to be accurate in such? Or to portray the more real, but much less appealing, side of anything?



Plus, age and looks really don't accurately reflect whether a person is ready to consider marriage or fatherhood.

I just wonder who informed them that they had to be "gay" and that they were hopeless as far as the ladies were concerned?
And this shows you have little actual knowledge about gays. They don't become gay because they can't get a date with a girl, or anything like that. They don't want the girls in the first place. Simple as that, really.

Honestly - if it were as you seem to think - then why would so many attractive individuals be gay, and so many unattractive ones be straight?

Besides the fact that what I just said is such a stupid stereotype I can't even believe I actually used it...:doh:

I take it you became heterosexual because you couldn’t get guys to sleep with you, eh, LittleNipper?

Actually, when I was 19 through my mid-twenties, I had at least four come onto me. The biggest surprise to me at that time was when a 40 something came onto me.

And frankly, that is who I feel is the biggest threat to confused young men. Older "mature" men (sexually experienced might be a far better term) who lure in young guys who are still trying to figure out what life and love is all about. They get attention, some praise, and their vanity stroked and they get sucked in (bad choice of a word but true).

Whoa, so dude, why on earth are you straight? Clearly you were doing well with men, why on earth would you bother with all the effort it takes to pick up women? You know—the flowers, the chocolates, the flunitrazepam—all that stuff costs money, looks like guys are giving it away for free!

… Do you not see why this is a stupid argument?

Wow, shock horror, older man finds younger person attractive. Do you know how many 40-something men I’ve had come onto me since I was about 16? Frankly, they are the people I feel are the biggest threat to confused young women.

A "gay" old time! You must be really young. Is Bart Simpson all that the youth have to remember today?

Yeah, because Fred Flintstone is such an excellent role model.

Of course I remember the Flintstones, I still don't think you understand what someone being gay is since you think it has something to do with women not finding you attractive.

Do you really think young adults are that confused about what they're attracted to?

Y'know? I hate that people make that joke. I really do. But that is another argument altogether.

Speaking of the Simpsons...do not Fred and Homer seem very, VERY similar?
Sleeping in the hammock, drinking at the lodge/bar, bowling all the time. Arguing with the neighbor all the time and making it a competition. Seem like they are about the same. But that's just me.

...and say hello to Derailment. He's pretty nice if he only stays a little while. :wave:

Speaking as a young adult...I really am not at all confused about what I am attracted to. But maybe I'm not the norm?
