....?

You said he helped them because he understood the power women can have.

I saw it as more that he was trying to get some pussy. Not really the same thing IMO.

I guess I'm not communicating what I ment very clearly...what I ment to say was I think he is aware of the power a woman's sexuality has over a man in society prime example being himself.

Krystal666 said:

Not to digress...but this awareness of the "power a woman's sexuality has over a man" is the very reason why I've never thought Prince was lyrically misogynistic. People used to say ...how can you ... claim to be feminist and watch Prince oversexualize women ...blah, blah, blah....He's no better than the rappers.

But really he's always given mad praise to woman power (Purple Rain violence against women aside )...it wasn't until 1992 when he changed his image/line-up and had Tony M and such that I thought ...this is a bit disrespectful (with booty booming questions and all :rolleyes:).

Ok...back on topic...

good point, thats what i think!!! i'm not bothered if anyone is straight, gay or bi!!! good for you, but just because prince doesn't follow the stereotypes of straight men, and he is an eccentric and does wear make-up, hello tell me one male celebrity who doesn't!!! anyway thats what i think!!

I agree with you. My friends say that he's gay because he "looks" like it. It's a very unintelligent thing to say. It makes them seem closed-minded. They think that whatever they see one time is how it really is all the time. It pisses me off.

Krystal666 said:

Krystal666, I agree with you 100% personaly I like a man that's not afraid to be different, he's in the musice bussiness. I hate those moncho types.

I totally understand what you mean. In fact, my boyfriend and I came up with the idea that Prince seduces women in a similar fashion to the way that a woman seduces a man. He uses his eyes, his mouth, his hair, (amongst other things). He seems to be the only hetero man who has figured out that using these "feminine wiles" can be used by men on women too!

M80 wrote, "pluse [sic] + ive [sic] meat [sic] him befor [sic] hes [sic] not gay".

That, unfortunately, is the same type, yet opposite, conclusion, to which Steph07 referred when she wrote, "My friends say that he's gay because he 'looks' like it. It's a very unintelligent thing to say. It makes them seem closed-minded." Steph07 is right because these sorts of conclusions, whatever their outcome, are based on visual preconceptions and prejudices rather than facts. One cannot necessarily determine if one is homosexual on appearance. Similarly, one cannot necessarily determine if one is heterosexual based on appearance. One should rely on facts and reason to make a reasonable conclusion. If Prince were to say he is a homosexual, one could reasonably conclude that he is, in fact, a homosexual, given that such a statement is one not made by many major artists or others in a public role given that the effect of which statement would likely be negative in terms of career and sales. In addition, if one were to see first hand or other visual evidence of Prince sleeping with another man, for example a videotape, one may come to a reasonable conclusion that Prince had homosexual relations.

Classic remark!!!

Also why is it that us gays are only identifiable by wearing make up and heels, that is so stereotypical, gays come in all shapes, sizes and types and we are all beautiful objects of Gods Creation

Yes I've always been attracted to men that were more artistic, intelligent or creative...is it any wonder that alot of these types of men may appear more effeminate or less agressive than other men? Cuz they develop these personality traits rather than bulking up and bench pressing their dates.

No seriously even if a guy acts softer or is smaller it usually is more attractive to me because their mind is soooo much more attractive. I can't stand those dumb guys who are like "I'm a MAN'S man" who just drink beer, like to shoot guns and make jokes about their woman being the "ol' ball in chain"

I don't hate anybody and I like many different types of men but guys like these...I really couldn't find myself being sexually attracted to them.


But hey, you never know...sometimes you will find that guy that looks like a monster and reads Plato and is as soft as a teddy bear inside...so you can never judge them untill you talk to them.

P isn't straight.

Krystal666 said:

You haven't met any hardcore masculine men who are artistic, suave and intelligent?

Shame.

I have. They are the only ones I dig.

Sounds like you meet stereotypes.

People -- this is the guy who did the Beyonce booty shake during his Musicology tour.

I like thousands others sat in concert and watched him do the 'uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, oh-no-no."

He is SO bi!

Wonder 505 said:

Would I care YES!!! But only for selfish reasons.

Part of the attraction to Prince, especially in the early days, is because here's a man, who wears high heels, eyeliner, makeup, prancess around, but still yet, he's hollaring out to women, being very mysterious, intriguing, dirty, sensual, and sexy, and it just drives us crazy. To me, if he came out gay, it would not work, because as a straight person, that is what makes it such an enigma, because most other straight men won't get away with that shit,only Prince can and that's part of what makes, Prince, Prince.

Okay, I know I'm not making any sense. This reminds me of the times I try explaining to my male friends why Prince is so sexy to me.

Like I said. All for selfish reasons. Either way, he's still a great musician to me and always will be!!!

I t o t a l l y f e e l u!!!!!

I just got to say im tired of this talk about masqulin and feminine, its made up by humans.
I dont care about if what i do is either feminine or masquline.

Um, Biology distinguishes men from women. Their natures are distinctly different.

How those natures are expressed (clothes, makeup, behavior, etc) are of course up for interpretation... and that part (gender expression) can be called 'man made.'

But masculinity and femininity are real and not contrived by humans.

Naw, that's ok though..I never really had a thing for the big muscular dudes...don't know why....maybe I always kinda found their mass threating or something. I like basketball player's bodies though...they are slender but have all that lean muscule.

Actually, ...he isnt.
The first guy, actually....to come with the makeup, the eyes, the mouth and the hair , to seduce women ...was..

Elvis Presley.

that explain why his hands look sooo young.

SynthiaRose said:

Good speech, hes like the flamboyantly bisexual Little Richard (like Prince, Richard was essentially gay, but he loved the ladies too and all his girls go on about how wild Richard was in bed with them , Richard says it himself in "The Quasar of Rock and Roll", I was creaming 7 8 times a day, if there was a trophy for creaming I would have won it, and stories about his girlfriend finding men and bringing them up to Richards hotel room and they both having their ways with them.

yup. All evidence points to gay or bi.
