sexual orientation grid

[flamingsword]

There's a discussion I'd like to be part of, and to provide meaningful input to others they will want to see this:



I've never considered my sexuality in terms of a "goal" before, and it's a little uncomfortable to think of it in those terms now. I'm with the partners that fit my sexual and emotional needs while fitting into my life. That (to me) has nothing to do with their gender. Boys tend toward direct, and that's a lot easier for me. I must admit that most women continue to baffle me with their subtlety and reliance on emotional tools that I can not use, but that's largely cultural. Black women, nerd women, and riot grrls do not apply those standards to themselves, and I get on much better with them romantically.

Also I am, by inclination, attracted to men ~2x as often as to women. The fact that women are underrepresented in my dating portfolio to this degree has more to do with the fact that the kind of women I like are generally above my pay grade.

"Goal" is definitely a weird word for it. *sticks pin in quiz to do when time allows*

Am I "above your pay grade"? Or just not on the radar? ;-)

So there's this nifty little thing:

I agree on the goal thing. The only "goal" I would make here doesn't involved sexuality at all, just being social. I find myself much more socially anxious around women and would like that to not be the case. Maybe it has something to do with my childhood and being terrified of my mother. Not sure. *shrugs*

So first tip to dating women. All women are above your paygrade. Your job is to convince them not to care.
