Strengthening Gay Relationships in a Heterosexual Society

Any idea where you stand in regard to demographics? I mean with your same-sex relationship? In other words do you know the percentage of the US population that identifies itself as Gay or Lesbian? Here is a multiple choice answer. We will examine the correct answer a bit downward in the article - 5.2%?  1.7%? 31.1%? 15%?

No matter which answer you chose, you will agree that the majority of the population in the US is hetero-sexual. Even though there is angst over "marriage penalty" and divorce rate is 45% of all marriages, it is a common fact that far more people in the US do not practice homosexuality than those who do.

This brings to mind a few challenges for gays and lesbians. The key ones, such as equality of rights, recognition of marriage etc. are important. But what about your rights to peacefully avow a gay or lesbian lifestyle in every day life? Whether you call your partner wife or husband, you have a right to live normally, at least according to your personal code of conduct, don't you?

Yet you are surrounded by hetero-sexuals. At work, at play, in clubs etc. How do you cope?

Well, let us first dispense with the quiz. The correct answer to the question, what percentage of US population is openly gay or lesbian?

1.7% in 2012 or about 4 million

This according to Gary Gates, of the Williams Institute in San Francisco, a creditable institution for gay and lesbian causes.

Here are a few tips on how to cope:

All Girls Love Being Seduced By The Right Guy

Have you ever met a girl whose dream was to stay home, read books, and NEVER meet her Prince Charming?Me neither. Just like all guys crave sex, 24/7, all girls crave Mr. Right. Sometimes Mr. Right Now. So when you're talking to her, she's not busily thinking to herself:"Jeez, I need to think of a way to get rid of this creep...". Or you'd know it. Trust me on this. She's more than likely thinking something like this: "He seems interesting. I hope he becomes more interesting and attractive."

Why is she thinking this? Because when a guy looks at a girl, he knows right away if she's hot or not.

But when girls interact with guys? They need some conversation. They're much more dependent on things like character, self confidence, communication, etc. They don't have it so easy. It takes time for girls to generate attraction.

Imagine you walk into a room, that's filled with smoke. You see a girl across the room. She looks like she might be hot.

You get close, and her figure and face start to appear through the haze.
