I like long girthy vegetables with some bumps on them.
Does that answer both questions?

This feels wrong. The question seems baited.

Not vegetables related.

Really not sure what kind of detailed answers you expect.

I like steamed broccoli, spinach or chard on a pastrami sandwich, I sauté vegetable medleys (some mix of: carrots, squash, onions, peppers spicy or not green, celery, mushrooms etc) in butter. I like cabbage in meals (such as egg rolls) though don't cook with it often.

I wear baggy cargo shorts when cycling.

wrote last edited by [email protected]That is a rather odd combination of questions...
Vegetables are great like anything if done well.
I'm a hetero, but even with quite the "sex drive" my sexuality could also be described as non-existent lol

it's from a discussion at work that spawned from "do men like veggies" and I noticed that the gay guys answered more favorably to vegetables, so I'm curious if it's just a coincidence lol

some people like only some vegetables lol

Yep, it's what I thought.

This entire question says WAY more about your own sexuality and prejudices than it does your supposed target audience.

I think OP is seeing the wrong correlation in a very not-all-rectangles-are-square sort-of-way. The correct attribution being the type of people who engage with the culture war (with some ties to masculinity or status).
My parents eat way too much meat (even though they often get tired of it, especially when it's primarily cooked meat) and are the type of people who would say with a straight face that a side of edamame (soybeans) is basically HRT. They do eat vegetables but it's still very meat-and-potato centric, less vegetable if I wasn't always pushing for it (including proving to them that roasted carrots are good).

Only penis shaped ones that fit in my bussy and I’m hetero. Why?

Fully agree. I also come from a similar background, with the added irony that we were in agriculture country where they all grew soybeans while saying that stuff with a straight face

I have no data for this, so i'm just speculating wildly (and accepting this will be a unpopular conjecture):
Lemmas - Things I have data for
- Metabolic dysfunction is endemic in the population (96% westerners)
- Metabolic dysfunction impacts hormones, especially sex hormones
- Aromatase happens at elevated levels in metabolically compromised people
- This can manifest as man-boobs, love-handles, chin hair, etc
- Metabolic dysfunction is principally caused by diet.
Speculation - Things I have no data for
- There is probably some connection between sexuality and hormones
- There is probably some connection between sexuality and life-long diets
This means there might be a interesting correlation you could discover. However, I don't think anyone would fund this type of research, or publish it - it would cause controversy needlessly.
Seeing a population prefer vegetables doesn't speak to cause and effect, it could be a cultural appreciation for being healthy and vegetables are mostly seen as healthy by most groups.

Well there is a cultural thread out there that meat eating is masculine and vegetables are not, which certain macho types subscribe to, and even some not exactly macho types have been influenced by during their upbringing. So I would certainly expect a correlation, and have observed one. You don't need to subscribe to this thread to understand it exists. It would be interesting to see data. I'd like to think we would see a trend of it weakening across the generations.
