By Ian Tindell | Los Angeles
Fellow frustrated heterosexual males: are you tired of being alone? Sick of hearing "there are plenty of fish in the sea"? Well, up to now, we’ve only ever considered half the fish that are even out there, haven't we? What about the other half? What about the fish that are gay?

If there's a little gay in all of us, then here are nine good reasons why letting that flag fly could work if your hetero single life is in the dumps. Get ready to open your mind, among other things, to new horizons.

    Attract More Women
    Attract More Women
    This may seem counter intuitive given that we’ll now be having sex with men, but hear me out: it’s a scientific fact that women like gay guys. Women love that whole “hard to get” attitude and what’s harder to get than a gay guy? Oh, and there’s the whole "since we're gay, we'll understand women". Not because we’ll be more like women but because we’ll actually be listening to them rather than trying to figure out how to get in their pants. So “hard to get” plus being more understanding will equal more women if we decide to swing back. Back-up plans, my friend, is the name of this game.

    Run Hollywood
    Run Hollywood
    We all know it's hard to make it down in Hollywood because it’s difficult to find an "in". Well, according to this old guy I met while in the swamps of Georgia “Jews and gays run Hollywood.” Well we might not be Jewish, but we could possibly be gay if we tried it and liked it - and that transition takes a LOT less reading. Plus, those of us who are Jewish will suddenly have TWO avenues to pursue in our pop culture domination. Think about it.

    Double Your Wardrobe
    Double Your Wardrobe
    When we move in with our new lover we’ll immediately have access to a whole new closet full of clothes (and according to Queer Eye it'll all be trendy and fashionable). So if you’ve been putting off buying a new pack of underwear, just consider what kind of money you could save by going gay and moving in with a dude you share more than just a bathroom with.

    Be Funnier
    Be Funnier
    Gay guys are naturally funnier. What might get YOU slapped will just make everyone think a gay guy's "sassy". If we become gay, then we can be guaranteed an increase of at least two humor points (which would help this particular column) as well as a FIFTY percent increase in invites to cocktail parties. That’s just simple math, folks.

    Make New Friends
    Make New Friends
    Being gay is going to throw us into a whole new social network. The great thing about being gay right now is that the LGBT community is being persecuted by right-wingers over the marriage and military issues. “But that’s not great at all!” - You, just now. Wrong! Uniting against persecution has always formed the strongest bonds between people. Becoming gay will provide us with friendships that just might be the strongest we’ll ever know.

    No Unwanted Pregnancies
    No Unwanted Pregnancies
    This one’s pretty self-explanatory. We can have all the sex we want and never have to worry about the dreaded unwanted child down the line. Ok, sometimes you'll have some other serious shit to worry about in regards to sex, but screaming babies won't be one of 'em. When we’re finally ready for children, we’ll just adopt like those guys on “Modern Family.”

    Get in Better Shape
    Get in Better Shape
    Let’s face it, gay dudes are in much better shape than we are. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I had a friend who came out and had rock hard abs only six weeks later. Dudes just have really high standards and it's really hard to please us. Just ask any girl that reads Cosmo. The pressure of having to please dudes is WAY better than any workout system you'll find on TV.

    Have More Fun at Concerts
    Have More Fun at Concerts
    There’s something about being a proud gay man that strips down social barriers far more than being a repressed straight man does. Being gay will mean we can get way more excited when our favorite band takes the stage, so much that we can belt out that scream we want to yell instead of just cheering, clapping over our heads and looking around for the nearest girl to "protect". This will allow us to just tune out the world, DANCE (for a change) and have way more fun than we have ever had before at our favorite concerts.

    Even Playing Field
    Even Playing Field
    When you're gay, your partner will never, ever withhold sex as a punishment or use sex as a weapon. There is no sex as a bargaining ploy to get something else. And oral sex is also never an issue. It's not for "special occasions" It is just a given. According to my gay friend Eric: "gay men are easy. You won't need to take them on a bunch of expensive dates to get some action. For gay guys, sex is like a handshake, and the "getting to know you" part comes afterwards. As it should be... ...They just like sex as much as we do and want it just as often..." and that in of itself, friends, is the king of reasons to give switching teams a try. Batter up!

As a gay man, i totally agree. I'm mystified as to why the writer thinks you can change your orientation. Maybe they just don't know? But back on topic, all of those are true. Its quite liberating to be gay. And even if you're straight you can still make gay friends. There are advantages and disadvantages, but i'm happy the way i am. GAY POWER!!!!! =D

I think you forgot an important one: gay men are the best cooks in the world. You wake up next to Mr. Wonderful with a hankering for an asparagus and goat cheese frittata with a side of truffled hash browns? No prob. A gay gourmand not only knows how to make it, but has all the ingredients in his pantry.

I *can't* go gay, (as you should know, it's not a choice) but that last one was is a really really good point there.
