You mean the giant, cheating, infinite-comboing doom crab of pure evil?.. Yeah, I guess it is kinda--HEY, I'm not a masochist! Oh, wait, I still have my copy of ToS2. Nevermind, you're right.Kialee said:
Wel... Come? What does "welcome" mean? You all speak this strange, silly language.Sniper Team 4 said:Because you are welcome here.(And others, like myself, feel your pain).
It really doesnt effect me much as Im already dead.. my pecker fell off about a decade ago.
In all seriousness... Gender is relevant for me. Part of happiness is tied into sex personally. I dont find men attractive, so if i dont find them attractive, even if there was a strong bond with a guy, the sex wouldnt be there, and if thats not there, it kinda kills the potential for full happiness, if such a thing even exists. To me, without the sex, man or woman, its just a good friendship.

Oh I can see it now, in fact its already happening. Goodbye next few hours of my life.Axzarious said:
OT:I doubt i could have a relationship with a same sex person. Might be good friends and hang out and roommate with them or whatever, but other then nothing would ever happen. Unless you include the crazy awesome guy thing's we'd do. Eat steak, go to the bar, and get in a fight! Rawr!
Oh, I get it now. Physical attraction is important to me (as it is for most people) in the sense that I won't date anyone six times my weight and only half my height, but it's definitely nowhere near what I pay attention to most.PayJ567 said:
As far as preferences go, if we're talking physically, it usually falls towards women; Men with certain body types, however, can grab my attention just as well. Then again, I feel like that's sort of a bad modifier to use - certain body types on women are often preferred, too.
See, now you have me thinking too deeply into this.
I don't understand, wouldn't someone who is a perfect person to you, but the wrong gender for a sexual relationship, simply be a great friend?
I have friends who are very similar to this, but I'm not about to start dating them.
Sexual relationships are sexual relationships because... they're sexual, it's all about your sexual preference and your urges. I see no reason why it is required to root the person you are really good friends with, otherwise there would be orgies in the streets constantly.

I'm bisexual.
And pursuit of happiness in a soppy romantic movie kind of sense isn't my thing.
Misery's more fun to share.
And you don't really have to fuck someone to be their life partner or something. I'd have absolutely no problem living even my entire life with a close friend assuming we mutually like each other and not be, you know, fucking them.
Although yet again, I don't bind myself with a rigid sexuality.

I would imagine that for some people, sexual relationships are based upon emotional ones, so if you aren't attracted to their gender physically, a desire to have sex with them could (possibly, [small]in case you haven't guessed I'm making assumptions[/small]) develop from the strong emotional attachment (that pesky thing we call love).Arcticflame said:
OT: I've never actually been in a relationship, but I'd like to think that if I loved someone of the same gender (or opposite, I haven't figured it out yet), that I'd be an awesome and empathising friend until/unless they initiated a romantic relationship, in which case I'd hope I'd say yes.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm also a supporter of consenual and open polygamy, so if sexual urges didn't grow from my emotional ones, and as long as my partner was honest, they could go get their sexual funzies elsewhere and it wouldn't bother me.
If they are the perfect person for you and you've already met them then you do have a relationship with them. It's called friendship. Why would anyone bother to take it past being friends if you weren't sexually attracted to them. I'd want to live with my best friend as a roommate but not as boyfriends because I'm not gay.
The case being "Whatever floats your boat", a same-sex relationship doesn't inflate my tube if you get my meaning.
Well, gender/sex isn't the issue for me so I'll just assume I find them completely sexually unattractive for some reason I'm too lazy to think of and even in that situation I say yes. When I think of how good/important sex is, and compare it to how awesome the super specialerest most wonderful person and relationship in the world would be it's really no contest.I'm completely willing to settle for a life of porn and my hand(or really bad sex) if the reward is that "perfect" relationship.
By definition I am straight and therefore not attracted in that way to other guys. People the same gender who I really like become just really great friends, thats the best way!
