Gaydar Confirmed

This site having quite a few members with this orientation, this seems to be something we could discuss - or not.

Great cartoon! it comes from the link.

While at the Las Vegas airport I noticed two young women looking at a poster of the Chippendales dancers. One of them remarked to the other, "Those guys are all fruits." I wonder if it was something about they way they looked, or if males strippers in general tend to be gay.

So if this were true, Will and Grace wouldn't have actually happened *sarcasm* :) I would say that this leaves out the possibility for bisexuality. Would a women be able to identify gay/bisexual/straight men just from pictures? Also, if this were true, then more women wouldn't be caught up in sex scandals when their husbands are caught in hotel rooms with hustlers and blow....

I have suspected many women of *knowingly* marrying gay men. There could be multiple motivations for that, but the one that stands out in my [actually uninformed] mind is the need many women have to be control freaks about their home, and zeroing on Mr. Milquetoast.

The best Gaydar joke was on Futurama. Bender claimed to have it, and then he pulls a box with a dish antenna to prove it :)

I don't know if mere facial features are universally that strong a signal.

There is no question that teenage girls about to ovulate are at their peak of olfactory skills. There is a difference between women on the pill and women not on the pill. Evolution probably selected for receptiveness at appropriate times of the month. For females its a real investment and skills that avoid wasting time with a male who doesn't rape, pillage and kill probably came in handy.

Many species determine the sex of an offspring by resource availability so in other species its not all One or the Other. Cruising gays seem to recognize each other, so why would we expect human females to not have some ability to recognize a disinterested male who would make a poor investment.

I don't think that there are more than the standard 10%. What does your gaydar tell you?

Perhaps it is a compliment to the Wizard and his site, that quite a few here feel free to be open about it. I don't have the figures.

My wife says if a man looks attentive, like he's paying
attention, he's probably Gay. If he looks distant, he's
probably not.

Clearly not all women have this skill or pay heed to it. One woman had no doubts until her honeymoon when she felt her brand new husband was looking too long at the bronzed males. Some women marry "caspar milquetoast" for control issues but it would seem that would be so foolish that it must be infrequently done. Many of those Chippendale-type dancers are straight but once the women get "pre-heated" during the show its often not an issue afterward.
