How many of us have Gaydar?

I can seem to pick up on the men but do have some difficulty with the women. As for clues, I dont know as I seem to know right away as to whether they are or they aren't. They dont have to dress or look anything like the sterotypical gay person looks like or for that matter talk. They can be just an ordinary type...we are all so different but I do pick up that they are gay or bi.

Yep, the way a human's brain works, categorizing people and things, doesn't take a whole bunch of time, thought, or information . . . really. It seems almost instantaneous. And no, they don't have to be Richard Simmons or be waving around a rainbow flag for a person to get it. I think most clues are registered on a subconscious level. The clues trigger a recognition of type, and we look for confirmation.

Some of the other guys said it is in the eyes. I think that is where the final confirmation is. And in my experience, it is when you look in the person's eyes and you can tell that they have been coming to the same conclusion about you as you have been coming to about them.
