Crappy gaydar
 
Yeah, I have the lamest gaydar in the world. Synth, Porky, Hayden, other forum queers...how is yours?

I think this guy was flirting with me in a coffee shop, but I couldn't tell at all. Lol.

Oh well, I like to think he was.

avantgarde1 11.12.2007 01:11 AM

i'm straight and i have superb gaydar. when i use to live in key west, one of my friends was an MC at one of the drag bars, and me him & my x-wife use to go there and watch her perform. every now and again (when i was broke or being funny), i'd take off my wedding ring and have my wife stand a few feet away, and wait for some guy to hit on me. then i'd fenagle a drink outta him, say thanks and walk over to my wife. lol, man that shit was funny. gay bars... the only place a straight man can act like a dirty slut of a woman.

Alex's Trip 11.12.2007 01:18 AM

Hahaha. That's funny. But it'd suck to be the dude who bought you a drink, you manipulative bastard. :p:

avantgarde1 11.12.2007 01:45 AM

lol, yeah but they were usually good sports about it. we'd all have a laugh, then do some shots. although once there was a guy who was pissed! almost got into a fight w/ him too. he was one of those "lives in the gym" gay guys too... he was swole as fuck! thank god my buddy diffused the situation. something i learned the hard way... if yr a straight guy in a gay bar... use the womens bathroom. it's totally kool w/ the chicks, and you won't get a "peter gazer" peeking over the partition or stall. a word to the wise.

SynthethicalY 11.12.2007 01:59 AM

I have bumped into several occasionally. I have flirted with them, there is this guy at work who I am always flirting with, but he is an idiot. But I never take it more than that.

HaydenAsche 11.12.2007 09:06 AM

My gaydar is exceptional. I can spot a queer from miles away.

sarramkrop 11.12.2007 09:15 AM

Very good. It's not perfect because some guys simply you wouldn't tell they're gay.

krastian 11.12.2007 02:06 PM

It's def. really good when talking to someone face to face, but it can get a little tricky just by looking at somebody in a crowd (especially in this day in age). I know I really don't come off as THAT "gay" myself, so yeah, it can sometimes be a little tricky. The Dark Gift is different for us all.

girlgun 11.12.2007 05:44 PM

i really don't have very good gaydar at all unless they're obviously gay. i think straight guys are gay or gay guys are straight. just not so good.

Savage Clone 11.12.2007 06:15 PM

I'd say I'm right about 70% of the time.

yeah, its not that hard to tell when someone is gay these days. not usually. there are exceptions to everything.



Because we're gay. Gay, you know, like gay.

SynthethicalY 11.13.2007 05:15 AM

Am I gay?

krastian 11.13.2007 05:02 PM

Judging by the cock suck, I'd say yes.

They dont really. No more than idiots feel the need to remind you of how detrimental to humanity they are.

I have the most insensitive gaydar there is, i just cant tell. A while ago a female freind of mine had recieved some roses for Valentines day and i was going
"sooo who's sending you roses then!"
and she went
"Well... you know Sarah?"
and i went
".........."
".........."
"....OH!"

Why do you make broad assumptions about the motives of others on the internet?

gmku 11.13.2007 11:16 PM

Best way to tell, give a guy a long hug and see how hard he gets.

PAULYBEE2656 11.14.2007 07:57 AM

is there such a thing as a straightdar?

MellySingsDoom 11.14.2007 08:53 AM

PS Hello sarramkrop. Long time no speaky. How be you?

Gay, thanks. Yourself?

MellySingsDoom 11.14.2007 09:07 AM

sarramkrop - Hmm, gay too, I think. But good, nonetheless.

MellySingsDoom 11.14.2007 09:08 AM

Hi Nefeli!

Hehe very descriptive. I've never even seen you, but I know exactly what your face looked like there.

!@#$%! 11.15.2007 01:20 AM

i was watching some random anime when suddenly my gaydar went off

 


 


 


tell me, oh great sages--

is it working properly???

atsonicpark 11.15.2007 01:35 AM

well, I guess it's great, since everyone who is being honest is kinda gay..

choc e-Claire 03.26.2019 06:43 PM

There's a teacher at my school who gives off a big lesbian vibe. Have no way to confirm or deny, though.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 03.26.2019 08:22 PM

what the hell are you even searching, claire? these threads are from like the nethervoid lmfao

i forgot all about "alex's trip"

blast from the past

Derek 03.26.2019 08:24 PM

Also reminds me that sway's horrid posts are all gone besides the people who quoted him to argue hahah

d.sound 03.26.2019 08:41 PM

I'm a trans woman so people will ask "are you gay?"
The answer is
No, but yes, but no

They are asking if i like guys which they would consider gay. As a woman i see that as a straight relationship. I'm only attracted to other women, but that includes transwomen.
So I'm gay, just not the way they are asking.

It was funny recently. I had only dated cis women, but my last girlfriend was trans. It didn't occur to me that it was any different until I noticed how my mom reacted and how people on the street reacted. Turns out I'm gayer than I realized. My middle school bullies were right all along.

Homophobia is so funny. Why do men freak out? What in the world makes them think a gay person would find them attractive? Gay people aren't attracted to all men same as I'm not attracted to every woman.

floatingslowly 03.26.2019 09:00 PM

Unless you are actively trying to hook up, why are people so curious to figure out how others like to fuck?

I never understood that. Straight people with “gaydar” are all guaranteed pricks.

d.sound 03.26.2019 09:15 PM

Dr. Eugene Felikson 03.26.2019 09:24 PM

one of the cringiest homophobic lines is

"i dont have a problem with gay people, just dont do it in front of me!"

heard this one a lot from my dad growing up. dude flipped once when i was like 5 and came outside wearing a wig and one of my gma's dresses once when he picked me up from her house. i just wanted to make him laugh. prick.

Usually, I have a look to see what threads all of the bots are currently trawling. This one was just an observation I'd made, so I searched "gaydar" to see what my options were.

Not when you're the victim, unfortunately. It's fun to laugh from the outside though.

Maybe because our stupid society only praises hypermasculinity and all sorts of things like this, and so being considered gay is terrible to all your insecure men. (And I'm turning into one of those 'identity politics' people that Symbols is always complaining about, oops...)

d.sound 03.27.2019 07:56 PM

No, when homophobia turns into verbal and physical assault, it isn't funny. I've experienced too much of it. I just mean it's confounding.

I will be honest here. Amy i heterophobic? I do get a little grossed out by heterosexuality. Like that, "I don't want to see it" sentiment. Men and women displaying romantic affection for each other is common in media and culture.
Like i was watching Hot Shots the other day. (hilarious if you've never seen it) and i skipped past the love scene. It is kind of funny, but I'd still rather not see it. Ew.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 03.27.2019 08:10 PM

^ thats actually super interesting. im not really grossed out by any display of affection.

choc e-Claire 03.27.2019 08:59 PM

A girl I know is holding hands with her boyfriend constantly and it pisses me off.

I mean, seeing people hug is nice, but only for brief periods of time. After a while it just reminds you of all the shit you're missing out on.

EVOLghost 03.27.2019 10:08 PM

AWww don't be bitter 'bout it. ANyways....they'll probably just end up hating each other later on in life.

In hindsight, I have realised that this could be the backstory for a porno.

choc e-Claire 05.22.2019 04:47 AM

Update: apparently literally everyone thinks she's gay.

you only have one gay teacher in the whole place?

must be a tiny school :D

d.sound 06.09.2019 01:45 PM

There were two teachers in my high school that everyone assumed were in a lesbian relationship. They were always together. One taught chorus, the other math, but the math teacher was very involved with chorus, went on all the field trips. They visited each others classroom several times a day. Maybe they were just good friends, but they did give off a vibe. They had the telltale signs in their smiles and eyes when they looked at each other.
