After subscribing to Seventeen, Candy, and Meg magazines for nearly four years now and after careful study and analysis on the male species, i have come to the conclusion that the male species could further be divided into several subspecies which compose the gender continuum prior to seguing into the female part of the spectrum.
although i’ve lived with the story of adam and eve since the first time my nurse maid read to me snatches of the stories in the bible, particularly the myths in the book of genesis, i believe that with the current state of our society today, no longer are adam and eve alone. no longer will adam and eve be the only known pair because thanks to societal evolution, we can truly say that apart from the traditional couple, we also have adam and steve to be elaborated later on in this analytic study.
now, how do we exactly divide the male sex into the various subspecies which i have mentioned a while ago? let us start from where the female continuum trails off and blends into the first subspecies–gays.
MAINSTREAM GAYS. for a long time now, gays have been regarded as some of nature’s mysteries. no one exactly know whether gaydom can be achieved through nature or nurture and often, several cases contradict each other. generally, gays are characterized as being biologically male, yet psychologically female. gays have the charms of a man and yet the heart of a woman. they usually gravitate towards the physical expressions of beauty such as the arts and they usually are flambouyant. mainstream gays are comfortable with their sexuality and thus are able to interact with other people without being too selfconscious about their gay-ness. gays are attracted to troglodyts or to fellow gays.
SEMI-ECLIPTIC GAYS. then you have the semi-ecliptic gays. these are the gays who have partly accepted their sexuality. the operative word here is PARTLY. that means that being gay has not totally sunken into their systems. they might act like gays to a select group in society while act otherwise to another. they are inconsistent in terms of their gay-ness. it is a misnomer to refer to these people as ‘effeminate men.’ semi-ecliptic gays are attracted to men, although they deny it sometimes and to fellow gays.
ECLIPTIC GAYS. ecliptic gays are gays in hiding. they are still indenial of their state of being gay although they do have an inkling of what they are exactly. they do not want people to know that they are gay. at all costs, they deny any accusations of being gay. they try their best to act like men, to dress like men, and to be like men and this often is to no avail because no matter how much they try to hide their true sexuality, it simply manifests itself through their movements. ecliptic gays are sometimes attracted to men and they try to affiliate themselves with men in the guise of friendship.
JANIC GAYS. janic gays, janic from the roman god ‘janus’ who has two faces, are gays who, although they may have shown manifestations of being gay, likewise show manifestations of being men. they are open to their sexuality and they are attracted to both men and women,and at times, to their fellow gays. they do not crossdress. that is, they dress like men and often give importance to their looks.
PRETTY BOYS. pretty boys are more popularly known as metrosexuals. they are vain and they give much importance to their looks. they are meticulous when it comes to prepping up. they take into consideration each and every minute detail that has anything to do with their physical self. their lashes must be perfectly curled, every strand of hair must be in the right place, the powder must be able to bring out that inner glow in them, their lips must be a perfect shade of plush pink. they love class and they love the social scene. they love fashion and they will never leave their homes unless their shirts have been properly pressed or their shoes polished to a perfect shine. pretty boys are attracted to women, not to gays, not to troglodyts or anything else in between.
ILLUSTRADOS. illustrados pay attention to how they look but not too much. they are usually sophisticated to a certain level and yet boyish and athletic at another one. they know culture. they are civilized. they are informed and they put value both on their looks and on what’s going to beef up that gray matter in their heads. they are usually engaged debates. they are inclined to the intellectual side of things without being fashionably disastrous. they are attracted to women who have attained the same intellectual enlightenment as they have had.
MAINSTREAM MEN. mainstream men are your stereotypical male. they love cars, they love gadgets, and they love video games to dearth. they don’t dress that shabbily and although they complain about studying, they still study, anyway. they are not particularly brilliant but they are your typical knights in armor. mainstream men have a little bit of everything. they still desire to be the typical 8-5 working father, the bread winner of the family and they have traditional views of women. they are attracted to women and most often are desired by gays.
TROGLODYTS. troglodyts are the hunter-gatherer types in the male kingdom. the krunks. the cave men. they don’t care about how they smell, they don’t care about how they look, they don’t care if they’ve even been using the same pair of pants for a month. they just don’t care. troglodyts stoop down to the most uncivilized ways of attracting attention and don’t get me started on that one. troglodyts don’t bother taking a bath. they eat like ravenous wolves and don’t wipe their mouths right after. troglodyts lug around town with a swarm of flies trailing them wherever they go. they are attracted to women. unfortunately, women are not attracted to them.
the above subspecies are only some of the more prominent subspecies in the male kingdom. i might write a more detailed account although more studying has to be done to be able to come up with a truly exhaustive presentation. an edition on women might come up later on.
