jol ( @jol@discuss.tchncs.de ) English7•6 months agoAnd those are the few bisexuals. Because the gays… Well those are a complete graph basically.
jak ( @jak@sopuli.xyz ) English4•6 months agoThere’s also two male students between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock on the ring, but I don’t actually see the connecting line

Rentlar ( @Rentlar@lemmy.ca ) English31•6 months agoThat one circular chain of people who seemed mostly to agree of having either two gfs or two bfs and never crossing another person in the chain…
mozz ( @mozz@mbin.grits.dev ) 27•6 months agoI kept looking at that too. It’s crazy to me that there are only 2 cycles in the graph and one is the big accidental one. It honestly makes me think that either something must be wrong with the data, or it’s reflective of some deep principle of math or sexuality (e.g. that people won’t fuck around within their close social grouping nearly as readily as they will with people on the outskirts of it).
Knedliky ( @jnplch@discuss.tchncs.de ) English31•6 months agoThe authors wrote that they were surprised too and went back to talk to the students and apparently there was an unwritten rule that you don’t date the ex of the new partner of your ex. So if Bob and Alice split up and Alice starts dating Ben, then Bob should not date Ben’s ex Alison.
Liz ( @Liz@midwest.social ) English6•6 months agoI’ve spotted five cycles.
- The big boy.
- Six member cycle at the top of the big boy.
- Four member cycle with that guy who slept with nine girls.
- A second cycle with that same guy.
- That three way over to the right.
It’s possible there’s more but I’m pretty sure that’s it.
mozz ( @mozz@mbin.grits.dev ) 3•6 months agoAaaahhh got it. So the whole issue was my lack of paying attention. Makes sense.

Schmoo ( @Schmoo@slrpnk.net ) English20•6 months agoThere are 6 people who’ve had gay sex that I could find and all but one of them are bi (or at least bi-curious). That seems like a statistical anomaly.
antonim ( @antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English32•6 months agoIt’s a 90s high school, somewhat rural and religious, according to the article. Either there really were few homosexual relationships there, or the students didn’t want to reveal them.
flying_sheep ( @flying_sheep@lemmy.ml ) English7•6 months agoYou think?
I think people feel liberated to say they’re gay these days, so there are much more people claiming to be gay than in previous decades. On the other hand, there’s still a lot of homophobes and also quite some biphobes around, so there’s probably a lot of bi people that present as hetero or even gay.
I’d assume that most people are at least a little bi, and that they’ll try that out in high school even if they later decide they won’t pursue it.
jjjalljs ( @jjjalljs@ttrpg.network ) English8•6 months agoNot long ago I saw a woman’s profile on tinder in NYC that said “No bi men”. I guess it’s good that she put her phobia right out front like that.
jak ( @jak@sopuli.xyz ) English10•6 months agoI’m a 90s kid, with a stepsister the same age (who grew up in a Massachusetts college town, at that). When I was in college, I dropped my then boyfriend’s ex’s name in a conversation with my dad and stepsister (he was out already and didn’t make a secret of anything, he was cool with it, I swear). My stepsister asked all shocked if I knew he was bi when we started dating and then explained that she’d never date a bi guy, because she could never “be sure”. My dad made a boomery joke and said something noncommittally biphobic.
I’m so grateful I had that conversation before I came out to my family. I’m bi and an afab egg. I just married a bi man, and I told him pretty early on that I don’t know what the situation with my gender is yet. His response was “that’s why we date bi people, we like all the situations,” which had never occurred to me (sometimes I’m dumb), but it was a perfect level of humor and acceptance for the moment.
I’m sorry, this was a super long and mostly irrelevant comment. I intended to agree that biphobia is present in the people and places you’d least expect, even when straight up homophobia isn’t (stepsister was a member of the gsa and loved pride parades)

TheOakTree ( @TheOakTree@beehaw.org ) English17•6 months agoThe one guy who got with 9 people… is he a liar or a rizzler?

ParsnipWitch ( @ParsnipWitch@feddit.de ) English12•6 months agoPeople in the comments straight out believing all of it are sex relationships… Read the paper, or at least the headline.
