The more brothers you have, the more likely youre gay?

[RedStratocas]

I was watching 60 minutes tonight (because Im lame) and there was a report about sexuality and similarities in cases. Apparently, the more older brothers you have, the more likely youre gay. And its been backed by tons of university studies. For every older brother you have, your chances of being gay increase by 1/3. Sisters make no difference.

I dont believe in the 'Gay Gene' or any genetics for gayness, but this is kinda weird. There must be some logical explanation for it.

[brandon]

That would explain why I don't have any brothers :p

Life is all statistics! Thats what the latest report finds anyway.

Im not saying it matters who you are, I dont care if youre gay or not, I just thought it was interesting how theres a lot of connections.

[ross]

omg. i have 4 older brothers. omg.

[Aeon]

Ross is definitly gay according to that then <3

Also, I agree RedStratocas, life is all statistics :D

[RedStratocas]

omg. i have 4 older brothers. omg.

OMG! THAT MEANS YOURE GAY! 102% GAY!

Just kidding. It just means you have a better chance. But it doesnt mean if you have a lot of brothers youre gay, it just means your chances increase, even if its slightly.

Indeed. If you look at this chart:

You can clearly see life is about statistics

[NekkLe]

Well, I have 3 brothers and there all younger than me :/ I'm not gay and I consider never to be one.

[Charles]

I have an older brother, and a younger. Feel for him :x

[thesubways<3]

Well, Ross has 4 older brothers and he's gay, and no-one else has had more than one older brother and been not gay so far (in this thread). I have one older step-brother and I'm straight :]

[xMicHeLlEx]

i know they have all this re search or w/e but i still think it dnt prove anything, as every single person has different feeling and stuff.

[Victimized]

It's true i have 6 brothers,:rolleyes:

[jackass]

I have 1 older brother :o

[beth]

rofl actually when i look at it, alot of the gay people i know have older brothers LMAO. i don't believe that though, i think it's just a coincidence.

[Into The Void]

I have three older brothers, and i'm gay.
Not sure I believe in it, though.

[RedStratocas]

i know they have all this re search or w/e but i still think it dnt prove anything, as every single person has different feeling and stuff.

That isnt the point. They arent saying in this you are gay if you have older brothers, they just found that if you are gay, in general, you have older brothers. Thats how they found it out. Then they did math with the rest.

[RedStratocas]

I thought that too, but then it showed tons and tons of studys all over the united states and they all show the same thing. Im wondering if there is a connection (if there is, its probably phycological) or just a huge coincidence

[Mitch4?]

Hmm, i have no older brothers, and i'm.. straight? :)

[---MAD---]

I think its just a coincidence ;).

i don't think i'd like it to be true tbh.. cus there are exceptions to every rule and i think if people thought that, then everyone would be stereotyping gay people alot more.

[lust]

i dont have any older brother. and im straight.

[2hd.]

I have 2 older brothers and I am straight.

I also have a younger brother. For each additional brother that precedes him, a boy's likelihood of growing up gay increases by a third. Uh-oh LOL

[Drewar]

Hmmm, I'd always think that the more older sisters you have, the higher chance you are of being gay.

Just for the simple fact of having a whole bunch of female siblings who like take you out and pamper you or w.e and brainwash you. I don't know though.

I have an older brother and I'm not gay so. To hell with this study haha. Stop spending money on stupid things like this and find a cure for cancer please.

[laurenx]

Quite intresting.

I have no brothers..thank god.

I hate my sisters :(

[FlyingJesus]

I have a younger brother, he's a bit queer probably.

[:dallsgreen]

I have 3 older brothers :l

[Uwe]

Im eldest and gay... {:

[GordonFreeman]

The OP is completely and utterly stupid. I don't believe that can be true at all.

[GommeInc]

I have an elder brother and a younger brother... My younger brother is deffinately not gay. And life is statistics!

97.3% of all statistics are made up.

I wonder if that statistic was made up :rolleyes:

[pikachu!]

i have one older brother.

im not gay though :]

[BL!NKEY]

if you dont get the reasoning behind it I think I do.

If you have older brothers you grow up playing with boys alot because you are always playing with your brothers. You like it because it is what you are used to. When you start to play with girls you find out that it is not the same as playing with your brothers. Girls are in to different things and they are not as go with the flow (usually). So that might be the reason. I have no idea but thought I would just share that.
