B..."Gay men:<br />[...]<br />Very large city 6.0"<br /><br />Broadway!<br /><br />But seriously, I think the that the anonymity of the big city makes it easier for promiscuous gay males to find partners. The reason why we see the sorting for gays and not lesbians is that: <br /><br />1. Gays are more promiscuous that lesbians, and<br /><br />2. There is less of a stigma against lesbianism than gayishness, thus less need for sorting.Mr. Thingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-88346415022592501622009-05-23T19:29:32.877-07:002009-05-23T19:29:32.877-07:00Of course it's harder for them to find partners in...Of course it's harder for them to find partners in a small town. It's also harder for them to be out in a smaller town. All people seek their tribe. <br /><br />Ron, you read gnxp and the occasional post from Greg Cochran, right? In answering questions about his pathogen hypothesis of male homosexuality, he has said that gay men raised in or near a city outnumber gay men raised in more rural areas by a margin three to one, I believe. <br /><br />At one point (I just don't recall if it was in the same conversation) he pointed to the difference in deaths from AIDS in rural vs. urban areas.<br /><br />A few posters argued that the urban numbers were simply the result of the migration we are talking about, but Cochran insisted he wasn't just talking about migration. I don't know who his source was. Bailey maybe.<br /><br />Anyway, I don't suppose you've found something that would tell you the numbers on place of birth or place of rearing for gay men, huh? It would be interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-73627146306745562322009-05-23T17:20:27.660-07:002009-05-23T17:20:27.660-07:00It's always been my understanding that lesbians te...It's always been my understanding that lesbians tend to concentrate in well-paid professional and business jobs. Lawyers, physicians, college professors, engineers, and so on.

Lesbians are looking for an affordable, safe, place to make a nice home for their artist girlfriend and their enormous dogs on their vet tech / flower nursery / small business income. <br /><br />But to be honest, I don't know if my little stereotypes of "lesbian jobs" are very accurate. They can't all work at gas stations or play acoustic guitars for a living, but beyond that I'm confabulating. My lesbian stereotype is: impeccably clean faded denim clothing and enormous dogs. Not much else.B322https://www.blogger.com/profile/18257802768718375656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-3449610507745358862009-05-23T14:46:54.146-07:002009-05-23T14:46:54.146-07:00Gay men are known for "gentrifying" high-crime urb...Gay men are known for "gentrifying" high-crime urban areas and turning them into low-crime areas that families can move into.
