What do gay men find attractive
The Attractive Male lover Man
In less homophobic countries like the UK and France, certain surveys demonstrate that about 4% of the mature person population identifies themselves as homosexual. The taboo in exploring one’s sexuality makes a lot of people conform to the social expectation that they are supposed to be heterosexual cis-gendered individuals. Even if an individual explores her/his identity and finds out that she/he doesn’t fit the social norm; the stigma that haunts an individual in the aftermath of coming-out scares away people from publicly sharing their sexuality. Hence, this 4% is a highly deflated number. But still, let’s operate with this 4% by assuming that this percentage of the world’s population is gay.
4% means only 1 male child among the 50 students in our co-ed classroom, 10 men in a 500-student batch of our college, or about 20 men in the (say) 1000 clients, customers, colleagues, suppliers, workers, staff, etc. that we deal within about 10 years of work, all considering a 50% sex ratio. With ‘Coming-Out’ still organism so difficult in India, I am sure most of us won’t even know who that one classmate was. The proportion of 4% is so tiny and yet we often overhear sayings around thi

A new study from a researcher at Harvard University finds that gay men are most attracted to the most masculine-faced men, while straight men opt favor the most feminine-faced women.
The findings propose that regardless of sexual orientation, men’s brains are wired for attraction to sexually dimorphic faces — those with facial features that are most synonymous with gender.
The investigate is published online in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, and was led by Aaron Glassenberg, while completing his master’s degree in the Department of Psychology at Harvard. Glassenberg is a doctoral scholar in organizational action in Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School. Glassenberg’s co-authors are David Feinberg of McMaster University in Ontario, Benedict Jones and Lisa DeBruine of the University of Aberdeen, and Anthony Little of the University of Stirling, both in Scotland.
“Our work showed that gay men initiate highly masculine male faces to be significantly more attractive than feminine male faces. Also, the types of male faces that lgbtq+ men found attractive generally did not mirror the types of faces that straight women set up a
What Gay and Bi Men Really Want
Are physical and sexual attraction the most appealing qualities in a partner? Or are unseen qualities like good manners and reliability the most attractive?
Following on from his research into what straight women want and what straight men want, D&M Research’s managing director Derek Jones has taken the next logical step with his latest study into what gay and bi(sexual) men want.
In order to dig deeper and draw out a accurate list of turn-ons and turn-offs for gay and bi men, Derek once again used of the Im-Ex Polygraph method. He originally devised this method of analysis to distinguish what people say they want from brands, products or services from what they really want by comparing stated versus derived measures of importance.
Qualities the gay and bi men said they desired in a partner (‘stated’) were compared to the qualities give in example celebrities they nominated as attractive (‘implied’). The equal comparison was made between stated and implied negative qualities, to determine what attributes are really the biggest turn-offs.

Just like straight women and linear men, “we enjoy be
