So apparently Smith is no longer homosexual as well as no longer a man?

Remember that in woke speech men can be women and nonbinary. So you can still be gay in practice.

Yeah, pretty sure the women and NBs he is willing to date all have a dick.

That or he is a fucking hypocrite who has been claiming homosexuality when he is in fact bisexual.

Remember when he won the Oscar and during his speech he said he was the first openly gay guy to win a music Oscar? And of course the internet lit up to remind him that Elton John won one first over twenty years earlier. Well, now he can claim he was the first openly NB pan-whatever. SUch a special snowflake!

I seriously doubt this guy is even as half way good as Elton John.

Also, Elton John has something invaluable that Sams Smiths clearly lacks: a sense of humor and ability to make jokes at his own expense. As this skit showing him being interviewed by Little Britain's "Daffyd the only gay in the village" in 2009 shows: https://youtu.be/x0zUOzkHwAE

My experience is that most people consider a sense of humor & ability to laugh at one's self to be highly attractive, desirable characteristics in dates & potential partners. But the sorts of traits Sams Smiths displays - self-pitying whinging, attention-seeking, narcissism, regressive sexism - not so much.

Yeah, I mean upthread you said that it's really hard to be single in London: while I am not 100% in agreement with it, I would say that the biggest problem Smith has in finding a partner is that he's fucking insufferable.

I think the only chance he has in having a relationship is to find an equally insufferable wokie, but I doubt it would work well in the long run because such a relationship would be incredibly toxic. Not to mention, I am fairly certain that even people like this, at one point, get tired of constantly kissing each other's ass (metaphorically). They are happy to have someone doing it to them, but doing it to others is hard work.

That or he can get an up and coming actor/singer who is willing to "date" him in exchange of visibility.

upthread you said that it's really hard to be single in London

No, I didn't say that. Said nothing like it. What I said most people over generations haven't found it difficult or impossible to find someone to date there:

Sams complains that finding someone to date in London is so incredibly difficult as to be basically impossible - which is the opposite experience of most human beings who've lived in or visited that metropolis of 9-10 million people for many generations.

Whether it's really hard or easy to be single in London or anywhere else is a separate issue entirely. Life as a single person can be difficult, easy or in-between depending on a whole bunch of factors that have nothing to do with one's ability to get/find a date. Also, lots of single people don't date for a variety reasons, including not being at all interested in it; not everyone desires to be coupled up.

No, sorry, I meant what you said, not that it's difficult to be single. I meant that in London it's not that hard to find a partner.

Do you think he meant he would only date trans women?

The sudden change in sexual orientation is confusing. I know it happens, but I somehow doubt this is a legitimate declaration of bisexuality. I guess we'll have to see if he does end up dating natal women.
