It doesn't seem like a change you can consciously control, which would make it not a choice.

Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.

My spirituality loves sex so much, we revere it as a path to "god"

@Gabrael, really? so does mine!

@Radical Taoist, I think it's a change you can control if you are willing to exert some effort over it like any habit. However, most people don't. I think most take the path of least resistance no matter who that means that they are attracted to. I also don't think that exerting the control can completely override the initial attraction.

These are begging for bad pick-up lines.

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - Silasw

Funny enough I have used it for a pickup line before, but only on a girl. Never a guy.

Not only did it work, it left enough of an empression that we started a relationship tongue

An orientation isn't a habit. Acting on it may or may not be.

There's a good reason for that.

Try Craigslist. You have to sift through an awful lot of spambots and hookers, but there are actual, live people on Craigslist who are just interested in meeting new people.

And, as a general dating rule, don't sell yourself so short. You're defeating yourself. Not everyone cares about the size of your pecs and/or bank account.

Just under 40k can get you a decent middle class living in rural towns and Suburbs. The downside is you have to live next to a lot of extreme republicans a lot of the time. Though I don't know if it's a downside for you.tongue

[up][up]Nah, you wouldn't mind it all that much as long as they weren't the Tea Party.tongue Though I think you would mind the fact that car ownership is practically a requirement and you have to do a 45 minute commute to get anywhere.

A gay couple who were asked to sit in the back of a bus in New Mexico because they were holding hands have received an apology from the company that operates the shuttles at the Albuquerque International Sunport, where the incident took place earlier this summer.

...holding hands? Oh, well, that's a relief. Let's all take a moment to appreciate whichever fine champion of social justice stepped forward to defend us all from the horrors of having to witness gay people holding hands. My nonexistent children could have been on that bus! They might have been forced to witness hand-holding!!! JUST THINK WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN!!!
