It doesn’t imply that at all. Sexual attraction isn’t reinforced by being around a given orientation.
Go hang out with gay people exclusively for a few weeks and let me know if you find yourself attracted to the same sex.

- alphabettsy 5y agoI absolutely disagree. How do you support that conclusion? What I’ve heard from incels makes it easy to understand why women would be uninterested. That worldview and subsequent outcome would seem to be reinforced by spending lots of time with people who reinforce the negativity.
