pining for a friend? or your.... sister? (kidding, just kidding
)
no, that's very true also. we like gay guys, we want our men to be gay... but then that'd complicate things...
personally i like my guys to not be effeminate. and i actually don't think gay guys can necessarily communicate better. maybe provide sympathy, yes, because some might be in touch with their 'feminine side'. but really i think it's mostly urban myth.
