I've just had an interesting experience. I am usually long-haired with uncut, dirty hair even when my hormone levels are higher. Short hair appears to me as being feminine, while long, unkept hair (in bearded men) shows the mental development of that man (yes, it looks autistic, that's the point) to me.
Anyway, after having taken BCAAs prior to bed for a couple of days I started having a desire to cut my hair short. My libido was also improved and I felt "bossy" but that's sort of leveled off (3rd day) so this can more or less rule out an increase in androgens. I now also feel like doing things I wouldn't do before because they're too risky. This suggests obviously that I have an increased dopamine to serotonin ratio.
Since gay men almost always have short hair, in fact they have the shortest of hair compared to straight guys, and homosexuals are said to maybe be deficient in serotonin, and another guy said he got a "feeling of homosexuality" from taking BCAAs, I thought this was very interesting.
Yes, it sounds comical because I haven't formulated myself well but I think I'm on to something here, namely that BCAAs can induce some of the characteristics of homosexuality in men via possibly modulating neurotransmitter levels in favor of lower serotonin.
