The rankings might be flawed in the sense that for certain parts such as in the Middle East/ India etc people just don't identify as bottom or the max is to meantion vers top.

But when a top travels there to such parts of the world you get a lot of approaches from tops who in the chat identify as bottom.

 

But the side thing in Singapore seems to be true.

This might also be the reason that for Singapore you find so many profiles not specifying on top, vers or btm.

However, I also relate it to the general (in parts truly exaggerated) fear on STDs which is overly prevalent in Singapore by a vast majority here.

I don't think that these ratings can be trusted.  How to trust a survey of information most people are reluctant to reveal?  

 

So "side" seems to be prevalent in Singapore?  Maybe this is why I like Singaporean gays!  After all, I am a "side" too, :)

In my personal experience I don't think Thailand stands for "most bottoms".

There are plenty of tops around. I think it seems more balanced nowadays.

 

But what I noted is that some of these countries where guys place vers/ flex etc, these countries tend to be having more bottoms than tops.

Mostly after chatting the vers/flex turn out to prefer being bottom to topping...

 

I assume for Thailand, Thai bottom boys are just more open to mention it in their profile than for other countries (comparing it to Indonesia/Malaysia or India).

 

My experiences goes in hand with Vietnam.

Was never faced with so many bottoms... It seems to be a heaven for tops.

 

South Africa shows that liberalisation for gays comes with more openness in stating your preferred sexual role.

Comparing it with other (more conservative) African countries or Blacks in the US, nobody tends to be a bottom there, but in the personal chats it is totally different.

 

For the US: I don't think tops are that overwhelming... just browse the twitter profiles... Might have some flaws.

 

The  biggest issue (statistically) with those surveys or summaries are, did they consider also the amount of people who don't state any role at all?

Further, you would need to scroll through the profiles and actually ask every grindr member because (one other highlight for Singapore being in the top 10) is that

too many guys just don't state any role at all!

Haha too much sides in Singapore. What causes this phenomenon? And how do we change it.

 

Haha, cute observation.   What is "too much sides",  and is this a "phenomenon"?

 

To smoke gives pleasure.  The same with drinking alcohol.  But none of these pleasures are necessary, and they don't come naturally, they have to be learned.  I believe that the same happens with anal sex.   I remember when in puberty, full of homosexual desires,  anal sex never crossed my mind until I heard it being done by others.  And then I considered it disgusting but may have fallen for it if I had practiced it.  But I had no one to practice it with. 

 

My point is that to smoke is not natural,  to consume alcohol is not natural, and...  anal sex is not natural.  They lead to pleasures which would be unknown unless they are learned,  all pleasures that have their negative sides.  So it is advantageous not to experience pleasures that have negatives.  The fewer people who become smokers and alcoholics, the better.  Should it not be the same with the fewer who practice anal sex, that is, the more "sides",  the better?

 

Throughout life we learn of plenty of things that are naturally pleasurable and positive.  Should we not avoid learning and falling for the pleasuring things that are negative?

Anal sex occurs among animals too so I don’t think we can say it’s not natural?

 

Should it make a difference if it happens among animals or among humans?  Because we are animals too.  Therefore if it happens to us, it does to an animal, the Human animal. Shouldn't we accept the idea that animals do things that are not natural?   Since we don't speak with them,  this is difficult to determine...

Hmm… that could also be fodder for those who argue against homosexuality and call it a lifestyle choice and unnatural, no?

I’m no expert, so I’m curious: what do you think are some things animals do that are not natural?

LOL!  Did I argue myself into a corner?  Maybe I made a wrong choice with the word "natural".  After all, with all what animals do being natural, then everything WE humans do is also natural,  since we are also animals.  And there is no use for the concept "unnatural".

 

Instead of "natural",  I should have written that anal sex is not an "obvious" or "immediate"  result of homosexuality.  That all gays we are attracted to gay sex, but not necessarily to anal sex.  Someone may have discovered anal sex and then many gays now followed his example, ha ha.  Like our smoking and drinking alcohol also comes by example.

 

BTW,  I cannot answer your question of what animals do that is not natural,  because I don't socialize much with them.  Only with Human animals. 😄
