Ok Jayson I, lets take off the kid gloves.
"Homosexual dudes are the most promiscuous guys I've ever met." Just how many have you met and how do you know theyare promiscuous? Did you ask? You probably know a dozen at most because I don't think a bigot like you would hang around a bunch of Homosexuals. And I got news for you too, Homosexuals brag as bad if not worse than Heterosexual about their conquests.
Can a man love a man as a woman does? Jayson if you haven't experienced the love (and I do not mean raw sex) two men can share then you have no reference from which to make a judgment. Compassion, Faithfulness, Integrity, Valor, Beauty, Tenderness, Sanctity, Warmth, Strength, Sincerity, Kindness and the like? Sorry for you, You loose. The term love includes all of those and more.
Compassion? The depth of understanding between two men for the feeling of compassion toward one another or for others is unlike anything you can even begin to imagine.
Faithfulness, in a truly loving relationship two men never even think of not being faithful. Look sure. (Hetros do that too) But sample the berries Not even.
Integrity, As with hetro relationships integrity (trust) binds the relationship just as surely if not more so because the relationship comes under attack from far more varied sources.
Valor, Have you ever seen a mob attack on a human being before? I have. The young man was attacked by 6 people who started to pummel him so badly that he was nearly killed. What saved him ONE yes I said ONE man stood up to all 6 and gave back double what they had each handed out. He was an ex marine who was gay. And don't try to tell me that "well that was because he was a Marine" crap. He was out weighed by at least 25 pounds on each one of them.
You notice I said ONE man. That gay man is more man than you will ever be!
Beauty, Have you ever seen the statue of David? or simply gone to the beach and watched the grace of movement of the men on that beach? Have you ever watched a mens volley ball game and been awed by the agility of the players? Have you ever watched mens gymnastics of the Olymipics? That is beauty too. For beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder.
Tenderness, Have you ever felt the loving touch of another man? or felt the caress accross your forehead of a single finger then have it cross the side of your face joined by the rest of the fingers on that hand and down the side of your neck? I think not. Again, no point of reference No point score here either.
Sanctity, There is nothing more cherished by a couple Gay or Hetro than the sanctitcy of the relationship.
Warmth, Oh you mean the exquisit glow a man gives off when simply close to the one they love? Or are you just looking for a bed warmer?
Strength, Your words here not mine "think about the labor, for one" Oh yeah! That "keep 'em barefoot and pregnant" at home to clean house raise the kids cook the meals do the laundry etc Have I got your style correct? I think I do and so does everybody else that reads this answer to you.
Sincerity, Just like women men can read right through insincerity. Without sincerity and truthfulness, no relationship can last.
Kindness, Have you ever been to the AID's ward of a hospital? Where at any one time there could be as many as 30 patients all in the last stages of dying? And as you watch the friends, partners/lifemates/husbands/wives or parents come in and ever so gently wash their loved ones having to wear surgical gowns, masks and gloves for fear of giving their loved ones something that will kill them even faster? That you sorry excuse for a human is kindness. I think you could not. You would turn tail and run for the nearest exit and puke your guts out. Why? Because you don't have the intestinal fortitude to stomach that kind of pain and suffering. Over the last 40 years I have seen hundreds die from this horrorible disease.
"Emulate these qualities" You loose here too. We do not have to "emulate" anything. We are human beings that create these qualities from within our own being. They are a part of each human to develop and nuture these qualities. These qualities of love are what creates the bond between other humans, not just men to men or women to women or men to women, but to all humans. The true gift that God has given us is to be able to love another human being. Man or Woman it does not manner.
And you know what? You could not even get the last thought correct either. "Life would be hard for a man who doesn't look at women this way...." Boy how wrong you are.
The women I know (and I am speaking of hetro women) would take you out behind the wood shed for making the statement "strength (think about labor, for one)" , and beat the live daylights out of you, hang you there until they got rested up and come back and do it all over again. You bet it would be hard for any man to treat a woman like you imply they should be treated.
Jayson, every human has the capacity to love. It is how much we train ourselves to give unselfishly to another human being that determines how successful we are at becoming Compassionate, Faithful, Poses Integrity, Display Valor, Appreciate Beauty, Express Tenderness, Maintain Sanctity, Give Warmth, Show Strength, Express Sincerity, Give Kindness. To emulate is to copy. Truly loving people do not emulate, we create each of these qualities as we grow to love our fellow men (and women)

Lets put it this way...
Men are filled with hormones and are the 'hornier' one of the two genders. Thusly if you are gay it is natural that you would like to sleep with other men for the simple gratification of sex. If a lot of straight men had the same oppotunity I assume they would take it. However, this does not quite answer your question.
How can a guy not look at a women as a gift from God? I ask you how you can not look at a guy as a gift from God.
Just because you see something one way doesnt mean that it is right or the only way.
Thusly, to say that men CANNOT posess [no matter how hard we try] 'compassion, faithfulness, integrity, valor, beauty, tenderness, sanctity, warmth, strength, sincerity, kindness' is a preception that you hold -it doesnt make it true.
As someone said before me, what kind of existance is it for someone to persue someone else in order to be happy?
I know plenty of people who have those qualities and are men. I myself, Id like to think, am one of them.
Thus to answer your original question of can a man love a man as a man loves a women, I put forward two simple points.
Firstly -if a man cant love another man then why do gay get married and, like straight people, have the potential for long lasting relationships.
Secondly -If I didnt/cannot love another man, then what did I spend three years of my life doing with my previous boyfriend?

I know a lot of women who don't posess those qualities you mentioned.
I also don't see how a man and a woman are a good match. From what I see everyday, they really don't seem to like each other very much, and they're so different that they usually don't have any sort of emotional attachment or much of anything in common. Plus they go on and on about how they can't understand each other. Why would I want a relationship like that?
That's also why I say men and women can keep their asinine institution of marriage. It's a joke and I really don't want any part of it.
So yes, I think a man can love a man even better than a woman can because two men have a better connection, more understanding.

Exactly how you feel about women is how I feel about men. I can get off with a woman, but I have NONE of that kind of emotional connect that I do with men. The man I have been with for 15 years possesses all those traits and more. And part of the reason he does is that he is not afraid of his feminine side.
It's not reasonable to lay "promiscuity" on the gay doorstep. First off-- look around you man! EVERYONE is sexualized! Look at history, or art, or literature, or anything!
Secondly, if you take a bunch of people and tell them that their sexuality, their core, and their personality are all wrong/ugly for 20 odd years, then when these people finally wake up to the reality...... well, it's like a pressure cooker blowing up. So the boys in the Castro-- do they overdo it? Sure they do. But there is a reason. It's the first time they are not hiding, and they are feeling entitled to show off, same as straights do daily from day one.

Well, they're not the most promiscuous. You see Africa for an example. Homosexuality is very much a no-no in those countries. The people are very promiscuous (thus AIDs being such a huge epidemic there).
I don't understand homosexuality and don't agree with it, but they are not the most promiscuous people out there. And I agree that women have characteristics that men cannot have. BUUT men can be faithful, compassionate, etc. Soo... I get what you are saying and I agree with some of it.
Thanks for thinking us gals are a gift from God. It's nice some guys value girls.

Another Stereotypical Generalization.
All "homosexual dudes" are NOT promiscuous.
If you, as a man, cannot possess compassion,
faithfulness, integrity, valor, beauty, tenderness,
sanctity, warmth, strength, sincerity, and kindness
on your own, do you really expect a women to fill
those voids for you?
Life would ONLY be hard for me if I expected
another human to make me complete.

Yes I totally agree that Women ARE a gift from the Divine... but Love is not just about physical attributes of a body, boobs and the private area.
Yes... women DO have all those virtues that you have afore mentioned, but you are DEAD WRONG if you say men CANNOT have them...
Why?( I am assuming you are Christian based on the comment on God)
If God... made man in his image, then what you are saying is God doesnt have all those benevolent qualities you have so mentioned ( and more? since those are a simple few ?)
Men AND Women are Divine Gifts from God. They are our fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, friends and lovers... as long as 2 people can love each other and show those qualities you have mentioned to one and another... THAT in itself is a gift from God...A truly Kind Heart has no gender or sexual preference.
Correction: Homosexual dudes are the most promiscuous guys...not. Men who lack self-control when in a Committed Relationship and still go sowing his seeds are the ones. Its an inbuilt instinct to sow their seeds... but what makes humans different from Animals, is that Humans have the option to choose...

Women are great, but if I cannot feel love or lust for one, then am I really supposed to force it just to make other people feel less uncomfortable? Give me a break.
Gay men are no more promiscuous than their heterosexual counterparts, that's a myth, a very outdated myth probably left over from the 70s.
But oh look, it's almost 40 years later, amazing how long outdated ideals take to work out of the population.

valor, sanctity, strength aren't qualities that i've seen in the majoirty of women i've met, strength in the physical concept of course, women can be just as strong-willed as any man.
faithfulness, compassion, tenderness, sincerity, kindness are all personality traits, and just as capable of being replicated in males as females, i'm a male, but i'm compassionate, 100% faithful, kind sincere and can be as tender as any female i've met.
warmth is from anyone, it's generated by intimacy, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, you might consider a women beautiful, but i think they are ugly ( i'm bisexual, so i see women and men in equal terms, i dont judge on gender).
my boyfriend is more than capable of replicating everything that you've listed, but he makes me feel Secure, i don't have to be the one that protects all the time, he's my fortress, my inpenetrable wall that keeps me safe from the world, something which i wouldn't ask of a woman. my man understands things and parts of me, physically and emotionally that any girl wouldn't. he's patient, caring, and to me, the most beautiful person on this planet.
and life isn't hard for me, i'm not saying i dislike women either, i find plenty of women attractive, but i don't consider them superior to males, or visa verca. both are capable of feeling and recipricating emotions and feelings as the other.
and to seal the nail in the coffin, i'm bisexual, so i can feel attracted to Women AND men, AND i've been in a same sex relationship for 2 1/2 years, long distance. Long distance relationships are difficult from their nature, and as a bisexual i'm probably more likely to have more oppurtunities to cheat on my partner ( according to the view of most people, it's debatable). and i have not once, in my life, been with anyone else.
Sexuality doesn't have any effect on Monoganimity.

Yes, of course a man can love another man. Although not all of us gay men are promiscuous, a significant amount of us are. Gay men get angry whenever somebody points that out about us, but the reality is there are indeed a significant amount of promiscuous gay men.
But also you have straight men who are whores too! Womanizers, men who cheat on their wives, men who have a wife and a young boy-toy on the side too. So don't criticize just gay men. Criticize all men, PERIOD!

If women are so kind then explain Rose West?
Guys are promiscuous regardless of sexuality though. Life isn't hard for guys who aren't interested in women though as there's other sexualities and men can be kind and gentle too
