This subreddit teaches me everyday that straight people in fact do not have it easier and happier in relationships

I'm 23, M, and have identified for most of my life as gay. From a young age of 18 or 19, one of the major pain spots for me was how easy straight people seem to have it. It seemed so fucking easy for them to partner up or navigate a dating life. Oh, a new relationship just months after the last one ended! Good for you. You met through mutual friends or a work party and fell in love? Every guy I start to develop feelings for happens to disappoint me by being straight or a bisexual guy with problems with his sexuality. Even the most single straight men in my life would eventually accidentally stumble into a 6 year long connection. The majority of the population is heterosexual, so surely that means they have it easier!

Wrong. Based on everything I have read here, the straight world just centers heterosexual men while women take a secondary role, often tolerating poor behaviors due to learned and taught expectations of a woman's role. You may have an easier time finding a partner in the wild because of numbers, but there are unhappy couples and marriages aplenty.
