Strong but Weak Trade Deals

It boggles the mind. 

Because it’s extremely obvious.

Men tend to perceive gay men in negotiations as more passive and less dominant than straight men, which leads them to make worse offers to gay men compared to straight men. This perception is driven by stereotypes about masculinity and dominance, with gay men being expected to be less assertive negotiators. As a result, gay men may face similar negotiation disadvantages as straight women, receiving less favorable outcomes due to these biased expectations. These findings highlight how both gender and perceived sexual orientation shape negotiation dynamics and outcomes.
