Does a GAYDAR actually exist? Can you sniff out gay men or women? The following picture is quite funny, but do we have a sixth sense to tell who is gay and who is straight?

That ad cracks me up.

And like nicki, the ad cracked me up
Quote by TonyZ
That is actually not an ad, but an actual product (jokingly of course) sold at a novelty shop in how Derek calls it Gaytown, USA. I saw it and had to take a picture of it.... way too funny! Especially the part that says "Gosh, I wish I'd known about Gaydar before I married Lance!" LMAO!

It would seem so,but I think it's really just body language. For the most part people accept me as strait but I have had a couple of guy's ask me if I'm Gay not feeling obligated to explain I'M Bi A usually reply, No- Why do I look happy to you? The fact is I'M not into Guy's only T-Girls. If A good looking T-Girl asked me that question I would reply I am for you hon & wink.

How's your gaydar, has it atrophied in Gaytown or do you develop str8dar instead?
Quote by TonyZ
Unless the guy is really obviously gay I have no gaydar sense... I like masculine manly men, so even if my gaydar was working well, most likely it would not work to find my perfect match anyway (
Quote by SereneProdigy
I guess everybody has some sort of gaydar, even straight people like me. Speaking of which, do the 'gay stereotypes' offend you, gay men? Voice, gait, clothes, etc? Honestly, some of them have been quite accurate for me personally to figure out if a man was gay. Sometimes it's not as obvious though.

You've no idea how much it annoys me. Go and ask an intelligent blonde what she thinks of the blonde bimbo stereotype then multiply it by 10 then you'll be close. There are gay guys that you'd have no idea that they were gay. We're the same as heterosexuals we come in all shapes and sizes, the diversity doesn't change just because we sleep with the same sex.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Does it annoy you that that the world thinks all lesbians have tatooes, a buzz cuts and wear jeans, cheque shirts and leather jackets.
It's all such a cliche.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Thing is, the gay stereotypes are not aimed at devaluing homosexuals in any way. I could see why the overt ones that are displayed in movies/television can be somehow offensive though. But I can honestly say that some physical features/expressions allowed me to find out that a man was gay, and I was in fact correct.
Does it bother you if someone gives significance to those traits? Sorry if it does...
Quote by Buz
For a year I was the only straight guy in my small apartment building. Duh? I wondered where the chicks were when I signed the lease. ha But anyhow, there are lots of guys I would never guess were gay.
I enjoyed living in the building. All the tenants looked out for each other. I even was once the only straight guy at Super Bowl party. Most of the guys there had an awesome sense of humor. I moved out to move in with my girlfriend/soon-to-be-fiance/now wife. Several of those guys attended my wedding. I made several good friends from that bunch.
A guy I played high school football with, announced that he was gay recently. He had a girlfriend in HS. I never had a clue that he was gay and we were pretty good friends in HS and still are.

Ha ha,
Before I read your post I thought "that.s unusual Buz posting here" but I'm glad you did, you prove my point. Tell me did you have preconceived ideas of gay guys based on media stereotypes?
Quote by slipperywhenwet2012
I think a gaydar exists. I can kind of tell before being told outright if a guy is gay or not...even if all outward appearances don't make it obvious.
Sometimes I can even tell when a guy is closeted gay or bicurious, even if he himself hasn't realized it...or is in denial of it. Of course I keep this stuff to myself, but it's not hard to pick up on.'
As far as females go, I'm better at figuring out if they're gay or not online than I am in person.
