Gay men flee economically dead conservative small towns to the liberal cities where economic advancement is possible.

I also think maybe gay men are more resilient because they get put through hell as teens and know their ticket out is money and independence.

A straight guy would be happy with a 75 inch TV and a mattress on the floor, if that is the height of luxury for them then the bar is set pretty low. A gay man would scour the planet for the perfect vintage Hermes trunk to use as an end table.

If you want nicer things in life then those cost money, if you want them bad enough you’ll work extra hard to get them, so it’s not a surprise to me that gay men on average are better educated and make more.

This! Gay men try harder and put more effort into their lives.

I believe women do the same as well. They gave microloans to women in Africa and they had a higher rate of success. The women used the money to better their families, whereas when they gave it to men it didn't raise their families up. Women still make less money than men though because we lean out more when we have kids.

Nice selection bias you've got there.

White cis males hardly have an edge in the workforce and really that is only when compared to women. White men are being hired and promoted less than male POC. White cis males used to have an edge in academics, but that is now long gone with male POC surpassing them and even white females surpassing them. White cis males used to have an edge in sports, but there are very few sports where white males excel over male POC.

White cis males = angry
Anger = death in brain cells
White cis males = dumber

Anger triggers a release of cortisol, and one of the results of cortisol is an increase in the uptake of calcium ions through the cell membranes of your neurons (aka brain cells).

This increased uptake of calcium ions causes your nerve cells to fire too frequently and can leads to their death.

Too much cortisol over time leads to a loss of neurons in the areas of your brain called your prefrontal cortex and your hippocampus.

There is no such thing as cis...? You know cis is simply the opposite prefix of trans, right? That's like saying "hetero" doesn't exist, or for that matter that "pre" doesn't exist.

But hey, if you don't believe that "cis" exists, then everyone must be trans, since trans has no opposite. I'm glad you are trans and proud! Fly that trans pride flag high since you're trans!

I wrote the post about hedonism but there is also this and I think it’s huge, people that have gone through the wringer and come out the other side have grit and that grit will make you successful no matter what it is you do.

Right? That PP is just another privileged clueless woman who was fortunate enough to have the money and support to pursue a PhD. It's probably in Psych anyway, which doesn't count.

When you have DEI policies designed to hold white men back and push others in front of them you can’t exactly be shocked at the results, that they are being surpassed. That’s what was supposed to happen with the hamstringing.

Or maybe they aren’t better than everyone else just because they are white males. Privilege breeds complacency. Complacency breeds laziness. Women and POC still need to work twice as hard as white men and be twice as good to get ahead. Even then some lazy white guy is telling himself he should have won.

Clearly you haven’t entered a corporate HR setting or higher education in the last 2 decades. White men are actively and openly discriminated against.

If white men were being openly discriminated against in HR settings for 20 years, wouldn't we be seeing more women and BIPOC C-suite types by now? We aren't, though, as evidenced by the graphic above.

White men claim they are being discriminated against, but it's all vibes. On the metrics, they continue to rise faster and higher than any other group.

Your argument is completely illogical. And in fact, it contrast with "trans" but is not exactly the opposite of. It came in to use only to make trans people feel as mainstream as people who not trans. Those of us who are not trans simply do not believe we have to be called "cis" now. People are especially applying it to women, far more than men, which is really just another way of white males to trample all over us and our rights. To the mom who said now her gay child can have more friends because they'll be friend with "girls." I just have to say, I was friends with many gay men when I was younger, but I learned over time, most them secretly--or not even so secretly--hate women. Almost every single one of my so-called "friends" who were gay men, I saw over and over, just treated their female friends with such derision and contempt. I finally asked one of my gay friends who didn't and he said, "don't you know, most gay men just think they are smarter, more interesting, and generally better than most women." It explained a lot.

All the gay men I know are not doing well at all beyond maybe monetarily. They aren't the type of people I enjoy hanging out with. Tons of depression, bipolar disorder, etc. All I've met have some sort of personality disorder and put sex at the center of their lives.

I hope that post is not deleted because it is a clear example of the Hitler level racist rhetoric that is being employed against white men today. It’s undeniable.

pretty much. being a white guy used to be a privilege and a foot in the door. but even with sports, white guys are becoming rarer and rarer. the top qbs drafted in 2023 and 2024 were black. baseball is now overwhelmingly dominated by hispanic and lationo men. basketball has been dominated by black guys for years and remains that way. hockey remains a white sport along with lacrosse, but most people don't consider major league lacrosse to be a 'real' major league sport.

companies can't have too many white guys on a team, or the optics look bad. i've been part of a hiring committee where the statement "yeah, but he's white" has been the only reason why they were excluded when we were down to our top 3 candidates. how is that not discrimination? it is imo!

it's getting to a point where being a white guy is a hindrance instead of a privilege.

A very successful and pretty famous gay man with a circle of similarly successful gay friends once said to me that he believes gay men are often successful type a personality because they are seeking approval and acceptance
