What makes a person gay?  That is the million dollar question.  First you have to decide whether genes or environment make a person act male or female.  Could you take a male baby and do a sex change, raise it as a female and have him/her lead a totally normal life?  (This was actually done once but only because a circumsion went real bad)  Answer is no;  why?  Because it is in our genes to identify us as male or female.\n\nWhat if you didn't identify yourself as male or female?  Isn't it a little weird that gays have feminine characteristics and lesbians male characteristics.  Did they just adopt these when they made their "choice" to be gay (as you think)?  Or did thinking like and identifying with the opposite sex seem more natural because of their physical and mental characteristics.  Imagine a prissy little boy who couldn't play sports and had a high pitched voice.  They were never accepted by the other boys and over time identified more with the girls.  Sure they don't have a "gay" gene.  But the question is, can genetics cause someone to identify more with the opposite sex.  I'm not saying that all homosexuals actually want to be transvestites.  I'm just saying that boys could have always wanted to be "one of the girls", or vice-versa for lesbians.  \nHomosexuality is a complicated mix of nature and nuture.  I don't believe there are specific gay genes, but they are definitely inherited characteristics that under the right environment could cause an individual to adopt a gay lifestyle, even at an early age.\nBy the way, scientists may believe in a lot of things like spirits, angels, god, aliens, life-on-other-worlds, etc.  that can't be proven.  They just know that science can't be used to get other people to believe in these as well.  These things are faith and have to be adopted independently from science. \nBy the way, this is coming from a heterosexual, spirtual, scientist, married man of three daughters.

Hi\nVery genuine question!\nIn my opinion everyone has one's own individuality and we have no rights to make any goof-ups with their personality at all.\n\nNevertheless,if I were to choose a boy of my kind,I would love to reject the following things in him,which are:\n\nDouble-mindedness\nUnfaithfulness\nSuspicious-nature\nDemanding\nDominating\nFussy\nUn-supportive\n\n\nAnd the day I'll find my boy,I'll surrender my whole life to him.\n\nRegards \nPooja

... Male ego & pride....They say that all men are nothing more than children deep inside... I can't argue with that - most of them sure act like one.\n Damn men !!! Can't live with them... can't make them ask for directions...

Depends on the context\nBoys are, generally speaking, superior athletes\nwhile\ngirls, generally speaking, are superior journalists.\n\nI could go on with these comparisons, but I think you get the idea, we all have our strengths and weaknesses and some of them are linked to our gender.\n\n*******Mozart-n-Me\nPlease read someone's post carefully before you attempt to correct, I chose my words carefully so that essentially your rebuttal makes you look extremely ignorant as you are just repeating what I said.\ni.e.\nI did NOT say ALL boys are more athletic than girls

"Little boy" or "small boy". Not little man.

A well kept beard on a man makes him distinguished and manly. Make sure you keep it neatly trimmed. Get the help of your barber if you can't.

Humor - a guy has to make me laugh, and be able to laugh at himself, or at least not take himself too seriously.  My boyfriend is really funny, and everywhere we go, he can make people laugh...even angry grocery store clerks.  Intelligence is equally important - including overall knowledge of what's going on in the world, politics, and also problem solving skills, objectivity.  Caring about other people is also a big one - compassion and eagerness to help others by volunteering or just helping someone with directions.  And with all of this, he's got to be "manly" - as stereotypical as that sounds, I like a guy that isn't too emotional, is physically strong, knows how to fix stuff around the house, and helps me do things that are easier for him - like carry heavy luggage, etc... \n\nI just realized that I've described my boyfriend perfectly...so I'm suddenly very happy to realize what I have!  Thanks for asking!
