Theorem: All the hot guys are gay.
Let A = 'hot' and B = 'gay.'
Given: If A then B. [1]
[Note: ~ = 'not;' :: = 'therefore']
Problem: Using Survivor, Project Runway, and American Idol as examples, prove that while the contrapositive of the above statement, ~B = ~A (i.e., all the straight guys are busted) [2], is true, the converse statement, B = A (i.e., all gay guys are hot) [3], is false. Show your work.
Example 1: American Idol
1. Adam Lambert = A (hot) + B (gay) :: TRUE
2. Taylor Hicks = ~B (not gay) + ~A (not hot) :: TRUE
3. Clay Aiken = B (gay) + ~A (not hot) :: FALSE
Example 2: Project Runway
1. Daniel Vosovic = A + B :: TRUE
2. Jeffrey Sebelia = ~B + ~A :: TRUE
3. Chris March = B + ~A :: FALSE
Example 3: Survivor
1. Todd Herzog (China) = A + B :: TRUE
2. Rupert Boneham (Pearl Islands) = ~B + ~A :: TRUE
3. Richard Hatch (Borneo) = B + ~A :: FALSE
Bonus Example: The 'Liberals vs. Conservatives' Factor
1. Anderson Cooper = A + B :: TRUE
2. Rush Limbaugh = ~B + ~A :: TRUE
3. Ann Coulter = ~A + X (tranny) :: FALSE

ReplyDelete. there are more women than men to begin with, i.e. the female population is stronger in numbers (well, not only in numbers, but thts a different one altogether...)
. yes, most of the hot guys are gay
. further, most of the decent not-gay guys are married...
=> result: forget about guys or wht...??
PS: problem is, trying to leave stereotypes behind has created new "boxes" and we have achieved a pansexual, open society NOT
