Do you think rejections from women can turn a man gay?

Question

Do you think rejections from women can turn a man gay? Or they are born like this? I know there will be examples for both cases I think, but I want to hear what you people think. Me personally, I thought of myself as a straight when I was a teen boy, but I was rejected so many times by girls who I liked and everytime I was feeling even worst than the previous time. I am pretty sure that affected me. I liked girls, even loved girls, everytime I had hope and everytime I was badly rejected and I started to feel that I don't stand a chance with women at all. That affected my mind and changed me.. Now I think I want to be like a woman and be with a man, instead of be with women..

Yes rejections can turn a man gay. I'm pretty easy going, good looking, good career, etc,,,, hobbies,, but have found women nowadays to be self absorbed, selfish, too high maintenance because they think too much of themselves, when they're really not all that. The type of woman that expects more of a man far more than she contributes. The type of woman that claims she's very independent, but is actually quite needy or unadmittedly codependent. The type of woman that intentionally withholds sex as a punishment to the man which happens far to often in American culture. Women that are far more interested in their cell phone or dog. The list goes on. It is absolutely true that rejections as you call it, being much more than just that, does turn men gay (attracted to men) or at least bi,,, sexually. Women to many men have just become a hassle or risk no longer taking. Some women may feel the same about men, and if they disagree with my comments, they'll have to ask their own question under their own heading to get responses. My response is to, do men turn gay or bi from rejection. Rejection comes in many many ways. I am not attracted to men at all, but am finding feminine looking men/and effeminate more attractive by the day. Right up to cute crossdressers/pre or post op, trans, to just a girlish looking boy. I used to think that it was just the ease of better sex with a man, but am starting to find that for many reasons I'm becoming attracted to the same gender relationship wise. Or a greater possibility anyhow. The feminine type.

I know that a lot of men, particularly those who have been in long marriages/relationships who no longer receive any sexual gratification from their partners will seek out sexual favours from other men, including myself. I have spoken at length to many men on forums and the common theme is that they no longer have sex with their wives because the wife is frigid or no longer physically capable and seeking out other females when you're older is difficult. It doesn't mean that they have turned gay/bisexual, they are just seeking intimacy from someone in the same boat and other men are less likely to turn them down. I have had several encounters with other guys and it is simply just for some excitement. But if I walk down street, my attention is still drawn to females, I do not find men attractive.

I'd think women's way of treati g men during datin , can cause many tragically things as many suicide and other things, so why couldn't it cause men becoming gays too. But most of the reasons guys become gays must be the hype being a gay is given in msssmedia, as it's described as a natural thing, when I fact it's unnatural as hell, and a way our civilization could die out. But because every massmedia feel need of promoting being gay as somthing great, many young men thinks it's great , and women in general think it's super good

I think you may have always been attractive to guys. But I feel like, that's something you experience when your young growing up. But that also can effect you as you get older and experiences to many rejections in life for women. I'M SORRY that your going dealing with this. But, if you feel that you want to try a guy, then go for it. More power to you!!

urkindacute · Answer

Well i mean it really depends you know. Personally , i feel that if you're homosexual, it has been there since the starting... i mean maybe you've had crushes on the same gender but dismissed them as nobody is taught since the beginning that same-sex relationships are normal. Majority of people have been straight and the mainstream tv shows, movies etc also portray the girl-boy relationships as the normal ones you know. So it is possible that rejection from the opposite gender acts as a trigger to one "deciding" their sexuality. But i feel like rejection wouldn't lead to you to like someone that you've never liked. It basically acts as a trigger.
Also you said ,"Now I think I want to be like a woman and be with a man" so are you thinking about switching genders?
have a great day xx

Sexuality is a mindset. Just like if one person is a bottom but suddenly they like being in top. You can always change your mind. I have a friend who used to be no but thanks to rejection he is now fully gay. Used to consider sex with women as appeasing but now it's all about sex with guys. Which makes it even more difficult for him since he's heteroromantic.

AlienParasite · Answer

There are many men who are constantly rejected and never feel the way you describe. Beign rejected must hurt, but being homosexual or bisexual is something you already are when you are born. Is normal for many gay men to like women when they are teens. One of my friends used to like many different girls before realizing he's gay. Also it's normal for bisexuals to like both simultaneously.

About wanting to be a woman yourself, that sounds like gender dysphoria.

MissRomantic · Answer

Definitely not. Part of having love interests is motivated by sexual attraction. If he was into women in the first place, that was why he tried asking women on dates and not men.

1Sophisticatedme · Answer

Nope. Its a choice the person makes to themselves and I seen girls do thesame to all bc of rejections one after another.

LocalArsonist · Answer

Dude.. that's not how attraction works, I really can't tell how getting rejected made you less atracted to girls 💀

purplepoppy · Answer

There has to be a point when guys start looking for alternatives. There's a huge pool of men who are constantly rejected so it stands to reason that they'll turn to each other as a substitute.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

You cannot ever make somebody gay. It's all about the person's sexual and/or romantic attraction. Sometimes people may not notice they're having attractions to the same sex when they're growing up. I know some people don't notice until they're adults.

menina · Answer

I'm sorry to hear that you had bad experiences with women. But I don't think that being rejected by women "turns" a man gay. There are lots of gay men who never had a interest in women, so they never asked them out. They always knew they liked men.
Plus there are many men who were rejected but still believe they'll find a woman who loves them.
Also you could be with women even if you were a woman. No one "turns" gay, people are born that way.

greentealatte · Answer

It's all psychological, so, yes, I suppose being repeatedly rejected by women could make a man want to be with men.

Before my life became the one I'm living now I would said that no one can change their sexual preferences, but now I'm sure that people do make other people's life change and many times not necessarily in a good way. Now I can relate to many people who are struggling with similar issues, interest, orientation and or cravings of many sorts except drugs let me be clear on that... I'm not whom to judge anyone, God is the one and only whom will do that, but I believe that as long as ur a good person, help others in need and more of the good things we all know should do I would like to believe that God will see that from who has done or is doing good to others and that maybe we can have he's blessing and help us all understand ourselves better, so just try to move on forward with a good lifestyle be good and seek help from a professional if needed some times that's what it's needed. Good luck with to everyone out there with the same or similar situation that life brings us.

Hobbert · Answer

No and No. I've been rejected multiple times and I still chase girls and I don't believe you are born gay, It develops overtime, some people turns gay halfway through their lives

Newhead · Answer

You're pulling every excuse to chase the sausage? but in all seriousness, I don't think that is how it works.

Alwayreckles93 · Answer

No not really one of my guy friends he is gay and he told me he felt attracted to Enrique Eglesias when he was 7 at the time. People are just born like that.

Charli7 · Answer

People can be born gay and will not like heterosexual experiences when it happens. If you choose to be gay because you're settling due to previous failures, there's a possibility you will not be happy and fulfilled. Explore and ask yourself the right questions. Then pursue what your body truly desires. Don't let the past keep you from pursuing what your heart truly desires.

Cherokeehp · Answer

Nope.

Jacqp · Answer

No one can "TURN" someone gay. Rejection can hurt... a lot!!! It can make you swear off dating and that sex. "I hate women" or "I hate men" for awhile. (I have been there too) people can really do a lot of damage to each other
But no one can TURN you gay. You either are or you aren't. If your confliucted id suggest a therapist. That isn't a insult I see when regularly just because of the shit I have had in my life. They are amazing people with devotion to listen and help you feel better
