Gay person’s perspective: Even in the worst case, a straight man’s dating pool is so much larger I’m envious.

Also something to consider: When 2 straight people couple off, it’s only -1 from the dating pool as far as other straight people are concerned. But when a gay couple exits the dating pool, there’s a loss of 2 people, heightening competition for an already tiny pool.




I don't quite follow the math. Why would only 1 person exit the pool in the one case and 2 in the other?


In the gay case, both people who left the dating pool are potential mates. In the straight case, only one potential mate left.


Yeah but gay sex is so easy to come by. Open up Manhunt or Grindr with dick pics galore.
