The scholarly lerature on what homosexuals fd attractive isn’t as robt as we might like, and for some reason has foced more on lbians than gay men. In a 2010 survey, both lbians and gay men reported that what they’d ially been most attracted to their partners were personaly tras: “fun, ” “sense of humor, ” and “telligent” were at the top of the list for both groups.

The same study of personal ads found more than 96 percent of the tras gay men sought their partners were characteristilly mascule, and all of the unsirable tras were feme.

WHY ARE THERE GAY MEN?

If turns out that a hband is, fact, gay, the fallout n be difficult to al wh, particularly for the straight partner.
