Of course, no one learns these lessons to perfection. Straight or gay, males and females occasionally break the rules and act like the other sex. However, straight or gay, males and females also learn to conform to many of the expectations set before them. As a gay man, you obviously didn't do everything you were taught about how to be male. But you probably do many things very much like the way a straight man would.
Studies show that gay men sometimes are more like women than like straight men.
But overall, gay men still are more like straight men than they are like women. I'm not saying we're exactly the same as straight men. But in a funny way, we forget this when we're dating. You may think that you're Barbie to his Ken. But to him, you're the Ken.
