gay men are just as picky as women

Men have different levels of pickiness for one night stands and relationships though.

same but the point is loneliness not just men that are virgins, some men might have had sex one time in a one night stand but are still lonely and never had a gf. So you say they can go gay but their choices are a fat ugly guy. If they were gay they'd want a hot guy. A straight guy would rather have a fat girl than a fat guy but actually would rather just have neither cuz neither is sexually attractive to him.

Considering around 28% of gay men have had over 1000 sexual partners, I doubt that.

well 28% ok that is better than the 20% of straight men that get all the sex but not that way off. But it's just showing a small % of people having lot of sex with each other.

Potentially, I was merely pointing to the higher rates of promiscuity and reckless sexual activity amongst gays which somewhat indicates that there is less pickiness in their choices of partner. By the looks of it, nearly one in three would shag anything that lets them.

I don't see why you think that when 28% is a minority of them, not a majority. Yeah that small minority is very promiscuous, just like all women are and around 20% of straight men.

I don't call nearly one in three insignificant.

In terms of this discussion it is. The whole point is a majority of men don't get sex. So turning gay, even if it was possible to change what your brain wants, still won't help.

That's probably true. I simply don't believe it's down to being picky. If I were to pick any reason why men are not getting sex, it's because they must be willing to improve themselves. Those I've met with significant issues in finding a woman simply refuse to change.

well it is

Well, if you are ugly so much that even gay men don't want you then I'm afraid there's just no hope for you.

[–]William_World 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

yeah and that's true there is no hope. If there was hope or a solution what would it be, they say make money then you can get a trophy wife but she'll just quickly stop having sex with you.
