Why Are DLers Obsessed With "Fraus"?
By DL definition, fraus are frumpy middle-aged, middle-class, middle-American women whose lives are boring and empty AF.
Yet so many posters here are seriously obsessed with them.
Every day there's a new thread about them: "Let's be fraus at the supermarket" "Let's be fraus redecorating our bathrooms"
Why are you all so fascinated by the lives of these women? Do you somehow feel that they are the competition, that you do "female" better than they do? Are you lumped in with them at work/church/family events because people don't see you as fitting in with the men?
I can understand the fascination with "divas" or with larger-than-life personalities, but WTF is the Frau Obsession all about? Is it a normcore thing?

This is a gay man's board and gay men are not at all "obsessed" with fraus.
Quite the opposite, and more like annoyed or slightly amused. The "annoyed" is largely due to their entitlement attitude and entitled behaviors and the "amusement" is watching them screeching, outdoing, one-upping and backstabbing each other, while trying to look like each other. They even treat each other badly. In general, many fraus (women approx. ages 35 - 55) act like teenagers trapped in the body of an adult.
And a true frauy-frau can't differentiate between the words "many" and "all."

R5, your stereotyping of women: "many fraus (women approx. ages 35 - 55) " is completely absurd and just as awful as straight people stereotyping gay men and lesbians. Lots of straight women are sure not fraus, they are hard working women supporting themselves, most aren't even married or even in relationships. Even some beautiful, independent, intelligent straight women cannot find a decent straight man to date let alone marry.
Some of these women have even sacrificed their own private lives care of an ill parent while working full time. The hate on DL is over-the top. If it's all about you guys wanting to fuck straight men, that's a whole other kettle of even more bullshit. If a 'straight' guy wants to fuck you, he ain't straight. Get that through your thick fantasy filled skulls!
Some of you frau haters make it seems as if all women are gold diggers, want to have children so they can secure the purse and spend every minute spending their husband's money. You guys seem to live in some alternate universe. Do you know how many women work these days, some actually have careers and some even make more money than their husbands. My mom, who is now elderly, worked all of her adult life, she continued to work well into her 70s.
Stereotypes involving any group of people will always be WRONG.

The DL term Frau has been around for a long time. There's even a hilarious definition of frau on Urbandictionary from 2007! Which one of you bitches wrote this?
"Stupid fat ugly older woman who posts non-stop on message boards about old lady topics, such as hummus recipes and their current object of lust. This object of obsession is usually a fugly contestant on American Idol (e.g. Taylor Hicks) or some other fug and/or gay singer, who they insist is very sexy and/or straight. Also hausfraus."

That had crossed my mind R11 -- the only time I see women one could describe as "fraus" is when they are corralling packs of high school students through Times Square. Otherwise, out of sight, out of mind.
And no R5, "more like annoyed or slightly amused" is so far from true. Many of the posters on DL are fucking obsessed with them. Do a search (okay don't, because the new search function is kind of broken) and the number of threads and references is overwhelming.
But back to R11's point, it seems that many DLers are in close proximity to or lumped in together with these types of women. That's all I got.

Go fuck yourself, honestly, who cares what you think abut my grammar mistakes! I'm not a 'Frau', I'm a gay man who has been at DL since 1999. Unlike most of you bitter angry queens here, most who seem to be DL newbies, I'm happily partnered, have a career I love and I sure don't spend time obsessing over anonymous women I don't know. Don't any of you have lives?!
Do frauen make your life a living hell? If not, WHY do you care? Do you want their boring unattractive and BFs? Again, if a 'straight' man wants to blow or fuck you, he's not straight and you are only kidding yourself.
I can instantly figure out the type of bitter gay men here who are obsessing over faceless fraus. Honestly, who gives a shit about these women? I can only imagine the type of gay men who are the obsessive 'frau haters' on DL. I surmise they are impotent or ashamed about their micro-dicks, flabby, balding, have crappy jobs etc, basically the gay equivalent of basement dwellers.
A message to all you bitter gay men here at DL who rant incessantly about frauen: get your own shit together before posting non-stop daily tedious bitter invectives about people who do not affect your lives personally.
The old DL was never this boring and tedious.

OP used quotes around "fraus" so zip it with the proper grammar complaint.
We used to have people lose their fucking minds if someone dared to use "frauen" instead of "fraus" because they were so committed to the DL meme/slang version of the word.

Okay, I'll bite OP, I think some of the obsession withe a frau, fraus or frauen is how ubiquitous they are in society.
They're in TV commercials (think those fucking chewy.com commercials- "I'm such a busy mommy, I can't be expected to go out and shop for the animals I have for my spawn... that's why I use chewy.com" - blecch).
They occupy space in supermarkets and elsewhere with their offspring who tend to misbehave... poor little frau who has never figured out that the brat should be reprimanded and corrected, so they do not misbehave.
I work with one - on the phone in her office, you can hear her start a conversation with, "Oh I'm fine, a busy Mommy, but you know what that's like" - I kid you not. And she's married... if the husband isn't helping out, leaving her feeling overwhelmed (she has ONE adopted child - ONE!), well that's problem with the marriage, not a self-inflicted mommyhood.
And don't get me started on the facebook posts where they pose with a wine glass and girlfriends - "girls not out!" - oh gag, as if their suburban lives are so awful that the deserve a night away from the crotchfruit and husband (who probably is thrilled she's out of the house for several hours).
Lastly, fraus reek of white privilege. See Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman and so many other examples in the news of their helicopter parenting and interference in their child's lives.
Mocking them feels good, because they present themselves as so put upon when they are most-definitely not.

They overidentified with women in their youth. Men and boys were scary, because these future DLers intuitively knew their lust and crushes would be disapproved of by their families and the wider society. However, it was safe to focus on the opposite sex. No straight males or females give women as much thought as this type of gay DLer, and in such detail, and this even extends into the fictional realm (discussions as to whether certain sitcom characters were good mothers, etc.). It's exhausting. Straight women (including the dreaded " fraus") would probably have disdain for any man who took such an intense, positive/negative interest in them.

I think R115 and R116 nailed it, thank you.
I also think that many frau obsessed DLers feel powerless compared to them. They likely work in similar pink-collar jobs (retail, fashion, lower-level office work) and yet somehow because they have husbands and children, it seems like the fraus are more powerful which breeds resentment. (They may also hold back DLers career-wise because, being childless and husbandless, he is not a part of their inner circle.)

That many gay men feel like they are more competent than and smarter than these women, but because society favors heterosexuality and parents, the "fraus" are actually in positions of power, even though the gays, as men, feel that they should be the power position.

Women, aged 35-55, who are self-righteous and with a sense of entitlement. The vast majority of Frauen are Gen-Xers. That was the unanimous/collective definition from a prior DL Frau thread, one that I happen to think is most accurate.
Not every woman in that age group is a frau; most are, but some clearly are not. Maybe because the ones who are not, don't have (I know, bad grammar) that entitled air and immature attitude that defines them and so they don't come across as entitled, emotionally immature, self-centered, disrespectful, argumentative know-it-alls who think they are always right.
Most of the Real Housewives cast members are Frauen, as are the majority of their audiences. You could never convince me that the RH cast members and their loyal fans are emotionally mature and intelligent. They are quite the opposite = Frauen. Dr Phil and Oprah followers/fans tend to be Frauen as well, maybe with a few Millennials and Boomers in their loyal audiences. But almost all of their loyal fans are Frauen.

The ostensible irony is that men who actually have relationships with women hardly ever discuss other women (i.e., those who don't play an immediate role in their lives, such as female celebrities and other public figures) at length in a non-sexual context. When I see threads here on DL about 1960s women's hairstyles or fashions or the appeal (or lack thereof) of Gisele Bundchen or Kate Moss, I hope for the sake of the posters in the thread that they're overwhelmingly female. It's embarrassing to think many of the posters might be male (but then the same is true for the Mendes and Chalamet threads).

Wait? You actually think frauen come to DL for validation and attention from gay men? 😀 😁 😂 🤣 😃 😄 😅 Boy, this just proves how fucking clueless most gay men are about straight women.
I have a few questions for you? Do these women come here and post homophobic bullshit? I don't seem to see many threads where the frauen are verbally attacking the gay men here, yet I see LOTS of attacks by MAGA hat wearing GOP assholes and Russian bots. Those morons are likely straight MEN.
I do think a lot of straight women come here to join the celebrity threads and other general interest threads, such as the product and medical threads. In fact, I don't even think the fraus got into the porn threads, if they did, you'd probably see lots of "ewww, how can you do anal, it looks so painful?" and stuff like that.

Are you new here? The majority of those tedious reality show threads at DL are not started by straight women. So many men here obsess over the men are on those reality shows, you can easily figure those threads are not started by straight women. Unless these straight women are spending a lot of time and energy using creative writing to come across as gay men, who would bother?
Honestly, most of you are grasping at straws.
The guys in those threads were wondering about whether or not the 'housewives' grown sons or male assistants are gay. Straight women would not post incessantly about that stuff. Those reality shows are definitely gay men territory.

It makes no sense to use the German plural ("Frauen") in English and capitalize, and I say that as a German speaker. "Fraus" is funnier and makes more sense, since you're anglicizing the word.

Exactly R209
Fraus seems to be something that our working class Flyoverstani brethren encounter daily as they work in jobs where they are among the only men, and they come here to complain about them.
But like you, I only see them lumbering (great word choice) on and off those red tourist buses.

In this case, Frau is an English "loan" word, so follows English rules when used in an English language situation: she was a typical frau, the place was overrun with fraus! Frauen is cute, but a bit show-offy.
Same goes for "panini" from Italian: I'll have a panini, no tomatoes, please; I didn't know what you wanted, so I just ordered couple of paninis.

Whatever you might think of it, The Guardian is read by all kinds of people worldwide and as such is not really a social or cultural signifier. Considered left-of-centre in the UK but that's still not saying much.
For Brit fraus, look no further than old episodes of "Come Dine With Me" or watch "Loose Women," Britain's version of "The View."

Some posters are confused. An obsession with Jill Cayburgh, Suzanne Pleshette, Mamie Eisnerhower and Patty Duke has nothing to do with fraus. In fact, celebration of broads like that has always been part of the gay community and still is. Granted the gaylings post YT videos about Ariana Grande and RiRi but still, we like women. One of the aspects of being a gay man I love is that a 25 year old gay man will know who Suzanne Pleshette is. Give me that over straight women who only know what they see on Facebook and straight men who can only discuss fantasy football. That’s what I come to DL for.

I see so much frau behavior every day.
A lot of it is what I call the "tee hee" behavior. It's when they do something they know they shouldn't, or make a mistake, and instead of taking responsibility, they do the geisha girl "tee hee" hand over the mouth shit.
Lots of that and a shrug when they cut you off in traffic. Or when 5 foot 1 and 120 lbs Frau almost runs you off the road because bitch can't drive a fucking Escalade. Oh Tee Hee! Oopsie!
I spent this afternoon shopping and between the drivers and the women who literally couldn't pay attention to anyone else in the store and kept bumping into us, I saw "tee hee" a million times. Tee hee, I've hit you again. Tee hee, I cut in front of you....accidentally of course! Tee! Hee!

R275 That’s interesting. My brother has a boy and a girl and I’m already seeing the difference in how they are raising the girl vs the boy. I’ve also been infuriated by some women who try to bat their eyelashes or cry to escape being taken to task. But now seeing my brother interact with his 8 year old I can see how that behavior starts and how the parents encourage it.
And I accidentally cut someone off in traffic this morning. I don’t think there’s any good way to applogize for that. I’m still kicking myself for doing it because it’s a pet peeve of mine. I did lol at your description though, I was almost mowed down in a Walmart parking lot by a frau (complete with Kate Plus 8 hairdo) in a F 150 pickup truck and when she saw me and stopped reversing she put her hand over her mouth and tee-heed. My knuckles were white clutching my shopping cart and I thought I deserved a “Sorry” and a genuine wave, the tee-hee added insult to injury.

My definition of a frau is the female walking onto a bus or into a subway car or onto an airplane that you immediately pray does not end up sitting next to you. I had to deal with a frau on an airplane with a baby, and she asked me to switch seats with her so her precious brat could see the lights outside the window. It was a red eye flight, and I wasn't planning on getting up, so I politely explained that I always choose a window seat on red eyes because I never get up. Needless to say, she hemmed and hawed all the way to the next stop. I was glad when she got off for the brief stop-over where those flying on were asked not to disembark.

I agree with upthread that fraus (or frauen) are a subculture of women. And they are between the ages of 35-55. Most Baby-Boomer women are grandmothers, the youngest are around 59/60 and are not in that 35-55 yr old age group.
Fraus not only hate the generations on BOTH sides of them, they are the only generation that is that way.
Most fraus won't even make eye contact with Baby-Boomer women unless they are in a position/job where they have no other choice. The typical fraus' mother, many of whom are Baby-Boomers, complain that they feel like they are walking on eggshells whenever they are around their adult daughter. It's not just their coworkers and cube-mates who suffer from their emotional immaturity and narcissism.

So the suburban frau 4th of July picnic thread has piqued my curiosity again.
Why ARE so many of you obsessed with boring middle aged, middle class women in Flyoverstan?
Do you see them as competition? The person you'd never have let yourself become if you were a woman?
Is it that because you're gay they talk to you about scented candles and Live Laugh Love posters and all that?
Is it that you have more interests in common with them--dinner parties, home decorating , fashion--than you do with other men, but they have completely different taste than you do?
I don't mean to be snarky, but it's sort of baffling to me as I've never given much thought to married women I'm not related to.
