Pretending that power dynamics don’t exist in homosexual relationships is either being willfully ignorant or just plain naive. Frankly the hot takes of people here pretending that heterosexual relationships are inherently dysfunctional are just stupid and no better than the people who used to say that homosexual…

Why should Bezos delete his Twitter account for making a joke you didn’t think was funny?

That’s the thing. It’s really easy to find similar prank videos for homosexual relationships, which tells me that the author of the article had an agenda in what they wrote that isn’t based in reality. They were trying to prove a point they wanted to make by ignoring half of the evidence, which obviously resonates…

Lol. Maybe, but the sample size is pretty small, it might be bad luck with the sampling.

I wasn’t trying to make it about infidelity. I was only making a point that it’s ridiculous to pretend that videos like this say something specific and unique about heterosexual relationships. I was critiquing a position someone else made regarding infidelity being a hallmark of heterosexual relationships, which is a…

Honestly I’d have to go back to the study to review their intended methodology for the demographic breakdowns to make a call on that one.

Lol. So misrepresent the study, blatantly disregard anything i say in an effort to not answer a simple question, assume my sexuality, and then bail when it’s clear you can’t win the argument. Fair enough, I was getting tired of arguing with someone so unwilling to have a reasonable discussion.

Still waiting for anything to back up your original assertion. Anything at all. 

They really don’t seem to understand the fact that this study was only provided for context to illustrate the point that what they said is not backed up by any evidence. They are instead desperately manipulating data in an effort to try and prove a point that completely misses the forest for the trees. 

Just looked at the chart you were referencing and realized that you are in fact cherry picking from the chart. You left out part of the dataset. Maybe you don’t think the B’s belong in the LGBT.  When included in the general figures it makes sense with the findings in the conclusion. 

So far as the chart, I’m not sure why it doesn’t square with the actual findings of the study, and I don’t care to dig into it anymore when there are other studies that say the same thing. Providing the study was only meant to be illustrative of the fact that studies exist that show that since you asked for it.

You seem to be cherry picking from the study. Those numbers only work if you exclude men and all other female groups but lesbian from the study since the prevalence of NCNM was lower for women. Excerpts from the study conclusion:

Pretending that there is no difference in how heterosexual an homosexual people behave in relationships is just silly. Homosexuals are also far more likely to be okay with an open relationship than heterosexuals according to similar studies, which is a healthy thing. Certainly healthier than infidelity. Just because…

Your statement makes a few false assumptions.

Here you go: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5958351/

Do you have literally anything to back that up? From studies I’ve seen before rates of infidelity are higher in homosexual relationships, so it doesn’t make sense to say that the resultant relationship dynamics associated with infidelity would be more prevalent in heterosexual relationships. That’s nothing more than…

It appears they do. It took a 2 second google search to find that, yes, men do similar pranks on their partners too. 

I’m not sure what this has to do with heterosexuality. This seems more like narcissists being narcissists. Implying that this is proof of some kind of overarching toxicity that exists as a unique part of heterosexual relationships is just dumb. 

I’m not sure why anyone would make a video like this, the pranks don’t seem funny in any way and it’s not exactly what I would consider a healthy thing to do in your relationship. It’s certainly not a nice thing to do to your partner. 

It’s not a stunted view to think that things should have specific qualities in order to be able to categorize them as that thing. Saying that the only quality for something to qualify as art is that it is someone expressing something in essence makes everything art, which is a ridiculous view of categorizing art. If…
