One might also look at other factors. Western culture is far more tolerant of homosexual women than it is of homosexual men. Homosexual women may have an advantage over homosexual men when seeking employment.crabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881445941488969523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-30537408600443210152008-10-30T18:03:00.000+02:002008-10-30T18:03:00.000+02:00Gay men make less largely due to the nature of emp...Gay men make less largely due to the nature of employment. They also tend to have fewer family financial costs which is why gay men are seen to have more disposable income.rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824176585273550263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-35192242734938323532008-10-30T13:53:00.000+02:002008-10-30T13:53:00.000+02:00An exception would be if whatever disrupts orienta...An exception would be if whatever disrupts orientation, also disrupted partner number preference, but this is doubtfully the case here. However many sex partners gay guys take, it's probably a good indicator of how many sex partners straight men <I>would</I> take if women were just as polygamist as men.<BR/><BR/>This shows that the sex difference isn't as large as popularly believed.
