Browsed through Facebook,
found a group for the all-boys schools and stumbled upon this discussion topic "Why other boys from non all boy's schools say we're gay".
Laughed at it at 1st, till i scanned through the comments.
This was what the initiator of the topic introduced:
I keep thinking that there has to be a reason that they love to use this on us and that would be: PURE JEALOUSY. Is it me or are all boys school somewhat above the grade? Is it because we grow from boys to men while for them, boys will be boys? What make us targets for such insults? Are we better?
and as well, from some other similar species:
Specie A: bcos they suck..
Specie B: They are epic failures ( referring to co-ed people ) so they tend to use this insult as it is the only one, I am not saying that every one of them is the same. Have u ever seen an all-boys school that is not one of the FINE INSTITUTIONS? :) yeah, i love VS. ty.
Specie C:
I feel that we have a disadvantage somewhat when it comes to girls like what XXXXX said, but it only applies to some of us, not the entire boy population in the school so I still feel we're better off.
We become more manly and gentlemanly than co-eds cause there aren't any girls in school to make us wanna "show-off" or be the hero to get their attention, so we become what we truly are when we are around friends, not girls. We act normal cause we're only among guys.
Well, unless you count in the occasional homosexual that enrolls, but that's a different story.
Specie D:
like the topic starter said,
PURE JEALOUSLY
we aint competing so hard to get hooked,
we're just too manly to fairly choose the girls that adores us (boys in boys' schools)
I had to say, boys from mixed-gender schools are the gays!
instead they were just trying to get attention by their physical appearance despite their conscience, compassion and, competence of being men in true manners. more likely, we can call them douchebags

well, after all those bits and pieces of info from our lovely boys, i shall share a lil of my 2 cents' worth.
Pointing fingers at the starter, its really weird to say that people call you a gay coz you are superior to them and that they are jealous of you. Who the hell in poly or JC, and coming from a co-ed environment, would not be realistic enough to realise and mean what they meant? Who the hell call you a gay if you aint one or behave like one? and wtf, jealous = call you gay? lol. And if you guys evolve into men in your own world, elaborate why we, as co-ed guys, dont.
And then, we have a Specie A, who said that we suck. Thanks for the compliment, i guess not all boys turn into men afterall.
haha, and then we have Specie B degrading us being epic failures in this society who snob at people who are superior to us. ironic right? How can inferiors run down on the superiors? And, i sense elitism in his comment, and being such an elite, the inferior us actually snob at them. wow, we suck, now i agree with Specie A, lol.
LOL at Specie C. he says that the co-ed guys pretend to be masochistic so as to be attention-magnets. Oh, and that we dont behave like ourselves in front of them.
omg, we are FAKERS! how many times have i come by more boys trying to be these magnets instead? i think we co-eds behave normally in front of girls but instead it's these boys that act manly in front of girls wanting to be the magnets, lol. Sorry if i offend, but seriously, i dont find this problem prevalent back then in my secondary school days. oh, and also the part about them being more gentlemanly and manly than us T_T
well, i do have some really really nice boy-school friends. really really nice! gentlemanly is really the word for them. but hey, C is being too generic saying that they will definitely be more gentlemanly and manly than us. well, at least i can say that i am very very nice too. probably nicer than the best they could do. and some of them really suck. suck ttm.
The Specie D is the best.
"we aint competing so hard to get hooked,
we're just too manly to fairly choose the girls that adores us"
lol, some of them fucking want girlfriends like despo shit.
and people like him who have too many suitors, good for you.
but do choose one quick ok? the co-ed guys are waiting for gods-for-the-girls like you to make your pick so that we have some chances to get the leftovers. lol.
is getting hooked some kind of competition?
and omg, damn pissed at this sentence "get attention by their physical appearance despite their conscience, compassion and, competence of being men in true manners".
wtf, we no conscience, compassion and competence?
and get attention by physical appearance. we do dress ourselves up, but hey dude, we want ourselves to look good in front of everyone, not only the females. and it's only right that we do so, because dressing nicely for an appointment shows how important a meeting or gathering is to you, not solely to attract attention.
and summing up, you guys didn go through a co-ed life. and whatever you boys said sounded more applicable to your characteristics. like "being manly to attract", "not behaving naturally in presence of opposites" and "we are boys while they become men".
1stly, its not manly to bicker about this issue and openly saying that co-eds suck. and 2ndly, Species C and D now call us, the co-ed guys "GAY". Should we start a new discussion group on facebook named "Why other boys from all-boys' schools say we're gay"? i am in for it, i guess. COZ THEY ARE JEALOUS, lol.
see? dont try to decipher one another from completely different backgrounds, coz we will hurt each other instead. embrace our differences, and come together. and to whoever who called the manly initiator gay and really mean it, you suck, coz you just made me blog about it and made me damn pissed reading their comments.
Still, majority of the boys from boys'-schools are really nice.
people like weirong, bastien and tengyau and many many many more.
we are all gonna grow up to be men, be gentlemanly, natural and fashionable - not entirely for girls, but for a better and more gracious society. Now, i feel at ease.
