Their logic goes like this&#8230; If you&#8217;re not attractive and you know it, you&#8217;re more likely to be an alcoholic and be depressed, and you&#8217;re more likely to not ask questions when a guy you consider hotter than you wants to bareback.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d like to offer a different explanation&#8230; That guys who are into their bodies are stuck up and inhibited. How many ads have you seen saying &#8220;only hot guys should respond&#8221; <em>as if<\/em> there&#8217;s a single accepted definition of &#8220;hot guy&#8221;, yet you know exactly what the person is talking about. He&#8217;s essentially saying &#8220;I&#8217;m conceited and you need to be up to my standards or I won&#8217;t touch you.&#8221; Anything that&#8217;s messy and real is beyond them &#8211; they want plastic and pretty.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying all good-looking guys are like that, but the ones who are in the &#8220;I&#8217;m hot, UB2&#8221; crowd are pretty much like that. And being more &#8220;plastic&#8221; who knows if they&#8217;re telling the truth about their sex life. I can completely see them trying to keep up appearances and not being honest.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are &#8220;regular Joe&#8217;s&#8221;, and the bears and the chubs, etc. who have gotten over themselves. They&#8217;ve found that you can have incredible sex with the most unlikely people. It&#8217;s no wonder that every time I come across a true slut &#8211; the type that sucks off or gets fucked by several guys a day and pushes the 1,000 loads\/year mark &#8211; they&#8217;re almost always pretty average in looks. Yet they have way better sex lives than the &#8220;pretty boys&#8221;. Sure there are exceptions, like Dawson, but the general trend is true.<\/p>\n<p>The other problem with the study is that it lumps racial minorities into the &#8220;undesirable&#8221; group. The research was done in Toronto and if you know anything about Toronto you know it&#8217;s crawling with Asians, yet Asians are generally pretty conservative sexually and always seem to have the lowest incidence of HIV of any racial group. So I don&#8217;t get how that didn&#8217;t confound the researcher&#8217;s conclusions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s some truth in what they&#8217;re saying, but there&#8217;s enough other things going on that the conclusion of the study seems pretty short-sighted&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new study out of The University of Toronto has concluded that &#8220;undesirable&#8221; gay guys are more likely to take sexual risks.
