actually most arent as shallow as they pretend to be. its a social convention for gay men to be vain, shallow, like kylie and use copious amounts of hair products.
its how people think they are supposed to act so they do but most grow out of away from pubs and clubs.
crap like QAF has a lot to answer for
I'm extremely vain but I don't see it as anything that have to contradict the fact that I'm also super serious when it comes to relationships. My vanity is just me, a part of my personality. It doesn't reflect my sex life or how I treat emotions or commitments. Sometimes though, I use it as a defence mechanism against people who are clearly shallow and untrustworthy. I'm loyal and I'm looking for loyalty and trust but being vain myself allows me to uphold even exterior respect and dignity when dealing with ruthless people.
In my experience, typical NT gay guys who study to become engineers or suitcase liberals, keep their hair short and tidy and look/dress like a straight average golden boy next door are just as shallow as the club b*****s with the hair gel. They also play a role, how they think a relationship and love should be. These guys bore me to hell, they are judgmental and goody two shoes and a relationship to them is a well edited real life version of random american TV drama series number X with clear rules and codes on how everything should be.
There aren't many guys who are just random and beautiful.
