The Evidence Suggests Otherwise
Are all gay men stupid or is it just the ones in Phoenix are exponentially stupid? Really, I wanna know.
Still stinging from this incident, I'm revisited by a blast from the past.
Remember this guy?
He sent me a friend request on Facebook. A fucking FRIEND request.
The hell?
Dude, let's be clear on this: We. Ain't. Friends.
One thing my therapist cautioned me about was making generalizations about people. Instead of saying something like, "All gay men are stupid," I'd have to say, "Not all gay men are stupid, just the few I've encountered," or something like that: something based on my experience rather than just a blanket statement about everyone.
Fair enough, however the INSURMOUNTABLE GROWING DATA I've collected during my dating lifetime seems to indicate the former and stupidity appears to be a terminal disease that is spreading quickly.
Ugh.
So I'm opening this up to you dear readers. (And by "dear readers," I of course mean my 98.99% gay male readership. Feel free to chime in with a holla too, ladies and Mark.) Does your research support my theory or discredit my claims?

Brian I think it's all men, not just gay men. It's funny because being a man (and a gay one at that) I should not have that opinion but I do. So I guess I just called myself stupid...

Lest I implicate myself, let me approach this with a Logic 101 theme. Shall we??? We shall!!! All gay men are men. All gay men are gay. But not all men are gay. All men are stupid. Therefore, doth it not follow that all gay men are stupid? Um, perhaps, but more likely not. Therefore, gay men confound the structure of a logical deduction. My head now hurts. Now I feel stupid. Therefore it is true that all gay men are stupid. Problem solved.

Brian, he probably had Facebook search his address book and send invites to everyone. So yes, he is stupid and lazy. But then, almost all men are.

Why stop at all gay men, or all men? Let's face the fact:
All humans are idiots. Except for us, of course. And our friends.
And if your therapist doesn't go along with that, he's an idiot too.

All men are not stupid. Just very, very confused. Including myself. So very, very confused.
There you have it.

YOu need to get on manhunt-- the caliber of men is lower, but they aren't as ass-holish.
And its pretty clear why everyone is on that site...

just discovered your site and really like it. And I think we've all been there with the "hello" ... "um you there"... "Ok, well bye now a-hole".
