    According to studies, gay men are particularly good at detecting the musk of other gay men...


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaydar


    Would like to know what the ratio is.. How many people think they're gaydar is functional? Mine sure as hell isnt if they do not act fem lol

    And if you have one, how do you figure you detect it?

    Through years of development, my gaydar has become extremely accurate, even for guy who don't portray the stereotyped gay behaviors.

    I tend to notice very subtle signs...eye movements, body language, spoken codes, even things as subtle as the "aura" that emits from a person. It's like I can pick up on subconscious vibrations that indicate homosexual tendencies even in men who don't realize it's there.

    The hard part is determining whether or not they're interested in me on a sexual level, or if they're just a naturally nice person. For that reason, I very seldom make passes at them. Instead, I show a very accepting persona so that they can feel comfortable opening up to me. That seems to work well, because out of all the "straight" identified men I've been with, I have never made the first move.

    Out of all the signals and signs, I think the one I most rely on is the length of eye contact.

    An unfamiliar straight man will only maintain eye contact for an extended period of time with another man if he thinks he recognizes him. Otherwise they don't feel comfortable doing it. That's here in the US, at least. When I was in France all the men, gay and straight, looked at each other as long as they wanted to.

    I love France... =P

    I'm terrible at it. I sometimes get an inkling about someone, but then 9 times out of 10 I'm wrong.

    I did a thread on this topic once before and received a lot of really good responses.

    I think I'm better than what I used to be (which isn't saying to much honestly), but I have been correct in several cases which weren't easy.
    My bf was much better some years ago when I was new to the scene, but
    I think a good "gaydar" comes partially from experience.

    No I don't have it, or if I do have it, it doesn't work well at all because all it provides are false targets.

    Most of the time when I get a feeling about someone it just turns out to be wishful thinking.

    Mine tells me when a guy is definitely NOT gay. Other than than I am left wondering.

    I tend to befriend those who make me wonder and some are straight and some are not.

    Other than that I can usually tell after the first kiss.

    I can't tell if you are, though. I'll need further investigation to see if your body responds sexually to men icon_wink.gif

    Ditto. A guy has to practically sit on my face before the notion that he's gay crosses my mind.


    I hear you...I am too shy to make the first move...and only if it's a dramatic person...and then I'm out the door.

    That could be what I pick up on. I think as homosexuality becomes more socially accepted we'll see all people showing a more fluid sexual behavior. I long for the day when sexuality is no longer seen as straight bi or gay, but rather attraction or no attraction. That makes much more sense than trying to label a natural carnal desire.
