Hard to define. US southwest regionally. But also experienced in college towns where the male:female ratio is anywhere from 3:1 to 30:1 depending on context. Then online avenues just reinforced it. Browse r/tinder for an idea of the difference in experiences in online dating. I’ve had women (hundreds?) come out and tell me as much online across the decades-not confined to any one location obviously.
Edit-just so this doesn’t seem solely bashing one side. I’m not gay. But I actually had a fellow/alumnus grad student friend for a while who all of a sudden was asking me to do all these minor tasks for him from afar. Turned out he had somehow gotten into his head we were in a relationship despite nothing of the sort having been discussed. (I’m not gay and would have made that clear had the topic came up.) Stands out I think because he ostensibly was only interested in developing a relationship with me through these tasks or something.
- em-bee 4y agook, i didn't go to college in the US, and i also didn't experience the tinder demographic, fair enough. the second part of your comment is a bit confusing to me. wanting to be friends doesn't imply that someone is gay. doing things together and for each other is one way to keep that friendship alive. we actually had this topic a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31713720 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31713720 asking someone for a favor is an opening for that person to ask for a favor in return. obviously it doesn't work if the other person is not interested.
