He’s also the writer, director, and star of the upcoming film “Ornithomancy,” a bold new independent project exploring queer identity and human connection.In this episode, we debate why bald men are so attractive, whether “grumpy guy energy” is secretly hot, and the difference between confidence and bitterness. We also get into body politics in the LGBTQ+ community, beauty standards, attraction psychology, queer masculinity, dating preferences, self-image, and how gay men navigate desirability and authenticity.We also discuss why certain personality traits become attractive, how confidence changes the way people are perceived, and why knowing exactly who you are can be more attractive than trying to please everyone.The Gay Rugby Podcast explores queer culture, LGBTQ+ identity, sports, masculinity, dating, nightlife, body image, and the conversations happening inside the gay community right now.
