WHEN MALE EGOS COLLIDE: MR. TITANIC, MEET MR. ICEBERG

You are a guy. Socialized and trained from birth to expect that your needs will be met in a timely fashion. You probably invest much of your identity in your job. And you internalize hurt way too much. And of all the aerobic exercise you do, you are probably most adept at “jumping to conclusions.” Probably to a good techno house beat.

Even though you’re gay, you are still a guy. The gay gene is not always as dominant over other character-trait genes as we might think, and remember, you are fighting what Carl Jung refers to as millions of years of male “collective unconscious”—a history of male patterns and behaviors passed down from generation to generation that then become part of our genetic makeup.

So the question is, on paper, would you want to date another you? Would you jump at the chance to date someone who has your same issues? Well?

Unfortunately, we don’t live on paper or the answer might be simple. “Hell no!” you might shout in defiance. But don’t forget you are fighting powerful forces of sexual chemistry and rules of attraction. Most of the men you crave will be similar to you in core ways, so accept that his traits, and yours, have advantages as well as disadvantages.
