Please let this thread die, it was a parody of another thread and served its purpose
Honestly, I think they feel so bad about being gay, that they ape every heterosexual standard, just to prove to themselves how normal they are, down to the white picket fence and country club membership. They still want the best of both worlds. The truth is that if they could honestly admit to themselves that they want to run around screwing everybody else, there would be way more happy, long-term gay couples.
Gay men tend to bail at the first sign of trouble, so cheating is often the end of the 'monogamous' relationship. After two or three of these relationships that end after a short time because of cheating, guys despair, realizing that many guys pay lip-service to monogamy only until a new dick comes around. Then it's back to being the dreaded 'single' for both of them, more jaded and more disease riddled than before, because the first thing they do in their relationships is to toss the condoms and cheating partners can bring home nasty souvenirs.
After denying their desires for so long, they then hook-up as much as they can. They figure they aren’t straight and can’t marry so why act like it. Gay men are different after all…. why not just play with anyone who is willing? Until they realize they have become the gay stereotypes they hate so much, then declaring loudly, under much applause by other like-minded fuck-ups, to be done with hook-ups and look for their next monogamous relationship and so the vicious circle goes on and on.
If only they could learn. Because a relationship is not about what you get out of it. Sex doesn’t add to your worth or value…however, being able to sustain a five or ten year partnership or more does. It makes you a better person and you grow up a lot. You accomplish things that single people don’t. You learn how to love through fights, jealousy, ex-boyfriends trying to break you up, mad parents, pissed off bosses. You learn that how you define yourself is tied to what you do and how you treat the people around you. These lessons can’t be learned while looking down their noses at other people's happy relationships.
I think defaulting to monogamous relationships is destructive. The inability to hold onto a partner saps self-confidence and not living up to your own standards makes you feel like a loser.
This is my version and I approve this message. (And I did not have to change much from the original text)
