Wait up. You are advocating behavior modification.
If I suggested behavior modification for a transgender person instead of allowing them to mutilate themselves and take hormones, I imagine you would scream bloody murder. |
why wouldn't you want to modify your behaviour to become attracted to obese women? |
For the same reason that gay men and women wouldn't want to modify their behaviour to become attracted to the opposite sex?
I think it's very dodgy to suggest that people should make a conscious effort, for ideological/political/religious etc or any reason, to change who they are sexually attracted to. I would also think, although I haven't bothered to check, that evidence will show that it is a futile effort anyway. It's oppressive and controlling to attempt this type of behaviour modification, and I'd suggest that any "successful" instances are more likely to seem so because the individuals concerned have been coerced, brainwashed and threatened into apparent compliance. |

so you are comparing liking obese people to eating excrement? 
Marcia, you didn't actually offer a reason why a person would not WANT to change their preferences. i am not talking about forcing someone to change, i am talking about people being openminded to the fact that preferences change and evolve anyways so people could choose to do so consciously. preferences are not hardwired. if i found that i had a preference that was bigoted, for example, i would want to change that. this is logical to me.
homosexuality is not a preference, by the way. that is what makes it distinct from something like this.

While, admittedly, the number of gay people I hang out with is extremely low, According to the gay people I've talked to, many of whom are obsessed with the idea that "Everyone is gay, they just don't know it yet", tend to belabor that conclusion to the point of obnoxiousness in their attempts to 'Convert' you.
Which makes it feel Oddly like what you are doing in this thread regarding overweight people.. |

yes, it is noticeable that you do not really have gay friends. i do. i have never had a single one of them try to "convert" straight people. i am sure it happens (just like people try to convert gay people back to being straight, which i HAVE observed), but i am pretty certain it is rare. they don't get a free toaster oven for every straight they convert.

I don't understand that. Just because they are gay doesn't mean you wouldn't have anything in common with them, any more than being straight means you have something in common with them. |

Why not? I don't want to listen to them talk about their debauchery, buggery or what have you. It's again, simple preference. I stay out of their way, they stay out of mine, both of us are happier. |
