Ramble about my sexuality and gender roles

Just a short rant about my sexuality and attractions, gender roles, masculinity and femininity. It's not the best rant, but I really wanted to talk about this subject in some way.

There are the stories of my childhood of why I was so awkward and nerdy, but I went into that with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThCZLjMVayk and I might touch on it again in a future video.

I may be speaking ignorantly here, but are you implying that being fatherless pushed you into being gay? If you were looking for a masculine role model, why does sexuality enter the equation?

@TheHunter14792 I don't really know the origin of why I'm gay. I think the probability is high that it's genetic.

If one is sexually attracted to men, why wouldn't sexuality enter the equation when looking for a masculine role model or father figure?

When I was in my 20s and looking for that, I didn't KNOW I was actually looking for a father figure, it never occurred to me--but looking back, that's EXACTLY what I was looking for.

@TheHunter14792 (continued) I knew I wanted to be masculine, but I didn't know I wanted a father figure.  I knew I wanted to be dominated, but I didn't know I wanted a father figure. Things would have been so much healthier had I realized in my 20s that I wanted a father figure.

Very good point. What interests me about gender roles though is where they come from. Is the fear of violence that gets masculine men respect, or assertive confident behaviour do you think?

[kizzume]

@northernvoxmedia Interesting... I guess there could be *some* fear of violence, but I think assertiveness and confidence are the main things that get people the most respect.

Good video, man.

simply because i find nerds or nerdy introverts ect tend to think deeper about life and philosophy, which makes for more engaging meaningful conversation. Just my 2 cents :)

good video bud glad to hear from you again :). I personally think there is nothing wrong with being nerdy or awkward, i myself am a HUGE nerd that spends FAR to much time in competitive gaming online, but i also have the long years of martial arts dedication, so even tho ppl might see me as a nerd i never rly got pushed around, which makes it harder for me to comment about that aspect of being a nerd. To me i rly like nerdy ppl and find typical party ppl or whatever quite boring in comparison
