Thank you for your response. I do understand that most member will not have scientific expertise.

You poste an interesting question
although I am no authority on this matter, I would think that Homosexual males cannels the aggressive impulses, that comes as a result of Testosterone, in a different way than a straight man.
This change of channelization, is a result of a, what shall I say, independence from the heterosexual norms.

It is possible. It is also possible that our Darwinian experts do not have a full understanding of testosterone, however they unintentionally posit over-simplified theories in their attempt to increase our understanding of human nature.

The need to be “the alpha man” is deeply embedded in our genes, as well as our culture, the same gene, the “alpha man gene” if you want, lies in homosexuals, but due to the fact that they are ruled less by heterosexual norms they have a lesser need to be as aggressive towards others.

Why are they ruled less by heterosexual norms since they are men and also live in the same culture that predominantly promotes heterosexual norms? Gay men should simply replicate these heterosexual norms within their gay society. Based on biology, there should be no core differences between hetero men and straight men, since they are biologically men. The only fundamental difference that should exist is that gay men are attracted to men and heterosexual men are attracted to women.

In other words: Homosexual males are less aggressive than heterosexuals because they don’t feel the need to impress females.

However, gay men are attracted to males so based on darwinian logic, gay men should feel the need to impress other men.
There are substantially more straight male violent criminals than gay violent criminals. Are you asserting that, straight males are violent criminals so they can gain female attention? Most females find violent criminals abhorrent. That is a pretty odd way of trying to impress the ladies. The aggression that I am referring to is
anti-social. There are some seeds of truth in your theory when it concerns pro-social aggression which is considered sports, self-defense and protection especially when it involves ladies. However, the aggression that I am referring to is
anti-social.
