I don't think the premise is flawed. Traditionaly economics played a role in gender favoritism. If a man prefers the company of women (aside from providing an heir) then I think a hetero man would prefer to populate his world with women. A truly gay woman would also prefer women.

Do you socialize with alot of gay people?
I do, and most gay men, in my experience, prefer the company of women, whether straight or lesbian themselves. Since a person having a child is not having it (hopefully) for sexual purposes, but instead as a companion, I think the same theory would hold up.

I don't think that parents primary purpose for having children is to create companions. There might be some motivation for living vicariously through your children, and thus wanting a child of your own sex to "represent" you in the world.
In my experience, parents who want children want them because they love children, and want to raise a family. This is unrelated to who they are attracted to as mates AND who they would choose as friends.

And why did children enter this discussion? I don't want any. I never have.

I've noticed some couples entire purpose of life revolves around raising children. It's like there is no reason to life beyond raising children. I can understand that perspective; the children are not companions but merely a product of life.

Yes they want children and gender doesn't matter to that mindset. But we're discussing a single instance, in this particular case, of a woman who decides she is tired of being bonked. Is she gay or merely redefining her relationship with members of the opposite sex.

So in the truest sense of the word would you consider your self gay as in bi-sexual or definately homosexual?

It's probably too early to tell. Perhaps you'll feel unfulfilled and get the hunger after you have experienced life with your own sex?

I don't feel the need to splice up my sexuality any more then I already have and I don't see why it's important. I know that my sexuality cannot be defined by language, but gay is the only thing that remotely fits based on how I feel. I may not even be a practicing gay. I might just stay nonsexual for life, like a monk or a shaman. But I like women's boobies and bodies and faces and lips and their softness and sensuality and I wanna touch them and be intimate with them...so I would say I am gay.
I do not feel that way about men.

I say 'Awesome' because a woman can publicly say these things without derision yet a man cannot, let alone a pedaphile say it. So shine on, you crazy diamond.

Why do you blanket all your statements?
Maybe if you were gay and you were a guy you wouldnt be able to say it, but that makes you a coward.
Personally ill say whatever the fuck i want, and im a male, just like any other man. If i was gay id say it, if anything was on my mind i would say it.

i never understood why someone would want to make love to another male.
Males are just hairy, smelly, ogerish bodies, with fecal-smeared anus.

When society threatens you with death by a thousand cuts then only a fool would not be a coward. You're exempt of course.
