A scientific gaydar?

I won't even get into the problems that manifest with the study; I'd need to do more research on it and a lit review on the topic to judge it and anyway it's interesting no matter what.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

The small sample size is the biggest problem I have with the study at a quick glance, but it's still very interesting.  The basic conclusion is that you can tell if a guy is gay by how he walks, but the same doesn't go for a girl.

Well, I haven't clicked yet.  The best test is to walk down the street with a guy.  The gay guy will check out the guy long before they ever look at you, and if they are looking at you, apparently they are summing up how many guys in the "free heap" you might be able to steal from them!

Bastards!   :P

I believe I can tell I have seen both gay men and women when I worked at a casino doing their thing.

The gay guy looked like he was walking with his legs closer together like one of those models on the catwalk.

Has there been a study on why some gay guys speak differently, with the lisp and all? I have wondered about this for a long time.

I think that most of it's cultural. I've heard them
put those accents aside.

How do you tell if a guy is Bi, then swings full gay?? A friends brother did this. He was a closet Bi, and nobody knew he was swinging the other way because he always had a girlfriend. One day he just came out of the closet all the way and quit having girlfriends and had boyfriends.

Does it matter if the guy is a bear or a twinkie??

I remember my PE telling me that watching me
and my best friend walking made her think we were
both queer. We wiggle.

Yet, I still think I'm straight.  :laugh:

What's to tell?

I've kissed, and 69'd.

Not much. Didn't get what I
hoped out of sucking.

Kissing a guy is always interesting
though.
