Okay, so, “sex the gay,” right? Sounds wild, I know, but lemme walk you through how this went down. It wasn’t pretty, wasn’t smooth, but hey, it’s a learning experience, right?
First, I spent hours just staring at the screen. I mean, where do you even start with something like that? Googled some stuff, yeah, don’t judge me. Mostly just trying to figure out what the hell people even mean by it. Saw a bunch of different interpretations, nothing concrete. So, I decided to just dive in and see what happens.
I started with the basics. I needed to simulate some kind of interaction, so I thought about what that would even look like. Figured I needed two things: one, some way to represent the individuals involved, and two, some kind of action or interaction that happens between them.
For the individuals, I just went with simple data structures. Something like this:
- Name: String
- Orientation: Gay
- Attractiveness: Number (1-10)
- Desire: Number (1-10)
Real basic, I know. But it’s a starting point. I then just made two of these with different values. Gave them names, set their orientation to “gay” (duh), and gave them some arbitrary attractiveness and desire scores.
Next up, the interaction. I needed some kind of function that would take these two individuals as input and then do something with them. At first, I was thinking something really complex, with all sorts of factors involved. But then I realized I was overthinking it. Keep it simple, stupid, right?
So, I came up with this:
If * > 5 AND * > 5:
print("Something happens!")
Yeah, that’s it. Super basic. If one person’s desire is high enough and the other person is attractive enough, then “something happens.” What that “something” is, I left vague. It could be anything, right? A conversation, a hookup, who knows?
I ran it a few times, tweaking the attractiveness and desire scores. Sometimes “something happens,” sometimes it doesn’t. It was pretty random, but it was something. I felt like I was actually getting somewhere.
But then I started thinking, this is way too simplistic. It doesn’t capture any of the nuances of real-world interaction. So, I started adding more factors. Things like:
- Proximity: How close are the two people to each other?
- Social Context: Are they at a bar, a library, a family reunion?
- Mood: Are they feeling happy, sad, angry?
I tried to incorporate these into my interaction function. It got messy real fast. Lots of if-else statements, lots of tweaking parameters. It became a real headache.
Eventually, I just scrapped it all. I realized I was trying to simulate something way too complex. I wasn’t building a dating simulator, I was just trying to “sex the gay.” I went back to the basics. Simple data structures, simple interaction function. But this time, I added one more thing:
print(* + " and " + * + " are having a good time.")
That’s it. No more if-else statements, no more complex calculations. Just a simple statement that says the two people are having a good time. And you know what? It worked. It felt more real, more authentic, than all the complex simulations I had tried before.
Look, I know this sounds ridiculous. And maybe it is. But the point is, sometimes the best way to approach a problem is to just dive in and see what happens. Don’t overthink it. Keep it simple. And sometimes, the most important thing is to just have fun.
So yeah, that’s how I “sexed the gay.” It was messy, it was weird, but I learned something along the way. And hey, maybe you did too. Now, don’t ask me to do it again.
