like, being ‘fruity’ or ‘zesty’ or whatever. Not all gay men but alot of them do, why do they act like girls or atleast in a ‘feminine’ manner? I’m curious, and does this come from innate?
Think of “alpha” men putting on a fake personality, it’s like that
so it’s a fake personality? not through female socialization?
im effeminate, not feminine, myself. its a combination of innate and theatre, effeminate gay men are really just like that inside but they play it up on the outside. same way women do things to feel extra ladylike, or men do things to feel manly. its also rebellion against the confines of toxic masculinity, which has been forced on gay men and used to abuse them their whole lives. youll often hear from gay men like this that traditional masculinity is wearing drab dull clothes and like being in a shitty boys club, so its also boring and restrictive, while women are colorful and sociable, which gay men admire and wish to emulate but also put their own spin on, as opposed to turning into women (which is also why drag queens exist.) i love effeminate gay men…
not being around moids 24/7
nothing is innate i think everything comes from socialization like liv said mostly just hanging around girls
I do think gay men really just exageratte it
I kinda hate the way some act it feels so artificial and performative. I really hope i‘m not like that at all
But i don’t have an answer either
being around girls
tru I had a straggot cismoid friend irl who always looked and acted like a gorilla (endearing) but got gayccent for a couple months when he started to hang out mostly with women
How does that even happen
idk i think (normal) pp mimic each other unconsciously, it just happens
couple months is a very short timeframe though
