The key to making it socially is finding gay friends.

Gay men are hands-down the most socially connected group in the USA right now, and their power levels are only increasing.

🏳️‍🌈Here’s why

Gay men have male-coded energy levels and ability to strategize, combined with having the female-coded nature of actually being interested in the thoughts and feelings of others.

Unlike straight men, gay men are out socializing instead of spending their leisure time gaming or obsessing over boring hobbies like guns, welding or 3D printing

Gays also want to make new friends. Straight guys will be happy with only the same 3 guys they met in 7th grade

Also, because women always have the option to get a desperate straight man to give us attention and do whatever we want, we often become socially complacent, waiting to be invited out first or always canceling plans because of frequent “emotional breakdowns”

Gay men don’t have this luxury! They know they have to be doers, planners, and connectors providing actual value to the social ecosystems they are a part of. Not just getting invited

In short, the practical move is to #invest in gays
