Mildly (but pleasantly) surprised people are actually trying to talk some sense into him.

I don't think they're talking sense as much as they're trying to dissuade him from saying the quiet part loud - that it's a lifestyle choice pursued for convenience.

Hmm, I suppose there's an element of that.

OP may have a fetish but he sounds quite rational and honest to me. That's why the comments need to push back.

Sure he seems rational. But he seems to need a great deal of external assurance just to come to conclusions. It's like watching a full grown man use buildings blocks to compute simple math. Why can't modern men simply internalize this conversation? Why aren't people like this able to come to conclusions on their own?

He has a fetish but he also has a sense of shame and a social life worth maintaining, so he has options to weigh, unlike the loser brigade below him who have long since abandoned any hope of self-respect for the coom.

So many responses going "I'd rather be an ugly woman than a pretty man". Bro you're gonna die as neither.
