Hey Dude,

Fascinating study. I've seen a lot of research that appears to link homosexuality to hormones (especially in the womb), as well. It seems pretty clear to me from my reading that both gender and sexual preference are more of a continuum than a set of binary categories. There are, I think, several factors involved in determining both traits.

Hmmm,
I wonder if my appreciation for high heels is nature or nurture.

I also wonder if gay men have better odds at surviving themselves. Yeah, I know they have a lot of bad stuff going for them what with people who harass them, but consider money smarts. Many advertisements for cars and other expensive commodities seem targeted at heterosexual men. Apparently this sort of thing makes normal men less capable of sound judgment than those same men would have if they were not distracted by the sex messages of the ads. Maybe homosexual men are better able to keep out of debt because they aren't gonna stiff their retirement savings in order to buy the latest automobile that had the hot pair of legs (in high heels, Tarski) next to it.

Very good, Dude. Your argument was a good one.

Dr. H's argument, on the other hand, was not good.

Are you saying they're not?

According to this study to find an active libido female you should make friends with gay guys and date their sisters.

Leave it to Nehor to figure out the practical application of this study to real world situations.
