Gaydar - How Good Are You at telling if someone is Gay? + How To Develop It? + What Are The Signals? (Compiled)


Recommended Posts

i must say its getting harder and harder to detect. nowadays so many guys are into gymming and the straights also like to wear tight tops, berms etc and have good fashion sense. as for eye contact, some straight guys look back at you cos they detect that someone is looking at them. some have gfs but look at you, you thought they think that u are looking at their gfs but they are in fact bisexuals. some manly guys u think are straight turn out to be gays, some feminine guys u think are gays turn out to be straight. and then there are people saying that no guy is 100% straight, some are bicurious....

There are some that are so discreet and closeted that they exhibit no signs and behave just like straights

yea these are the hard ones, most of the time they tend to be tops. they 'purposely' do not exhibit any sign but are in fact 100% gay!

Guys whom you can easily detect as gay are not my cup of tea....much prefer guys who are so str8acting, you can't tell they are gay unless they tell you...and even then, you think they are joking...

Agreed, those gays who easily detect often not my cup of tea. I like gays who cannot tell and even he tells me he is gay, i also think he is joking, and die die i also dun believe. :P

  • The Fashionista Gay:
  • Branded stuff e.g. LV, D&G, etc.
  • Colour matching or brand matching accessories, bags, etc.
  • Hang out at cafe, high tea, hotels, etc.
  • Stands out amongst the crowd when they shashe elegantly The Gym Gay:
  • Branded NUM, Nike, Addidas, etc.
  • Color matching or brand matching accessories, shoes, bags, etc.
  • Hang out at gyms, cafe, in their tight shirt with bulging muscles.
  • Stands out amongst the crowd when they swagger with their arms sticking out from their body. The Executive Gay:
  • Branded or Tailored wear like Armani, Prada, etc.
  • Matching accessories like Tie and briefcase, leather shoes, etc.
  • Enjoys good food, into fine dining and wines, etc.
  • Carries Blackberry, Palm and or Slim Notebook e.g. MacBook
  • Stands out as someone with impeccable taste and you never see them sweat even when they are in their suit. The Chubby/Bear Gay:
  • Not really into brands, more towards comfort fit with oversize Ts or baggy Check Shirt with short sleeves
  • Carries electronic gadgets like iPhone or Mac.
  • Avid gamers, comic books collectors, etc.
  • Spent much times at home with computers socialising using Facebook, IRC chat, etc.
  • Stands out with very short hair cut, with beard or goatee and burly built.

The above are just some stereotypes, of course, there will be those which could fly below the gaydar and are undetectable. Those I find harder to detect are the Beng gays, the Married gays and the uncle gays.

Many of my straight friends have branded or tailored wear like Armani, Prada, etc.

Will you be my valentine's? :D

The str8 can own branded stuffs, but it's the not just the branded goods, it's also the mannerism and actions that gave them away.

I agree, it is the combination that matters.

It is too fast to jump into conclusion based on one or two common GAY characteristics. But when many factors come together, it is becoming too hard to ignore your beeping gaydar.

For me: so far, the easiest way to 'catch' a gay is to check the Facebook mutual friends, although this applies only to the not-so-discreet ones. Gays also have the tendency to enjoy certain types of music/movie/TV shows. Clothes and mannerism can also tell tales. And then there are the classics (e.g. ear piercing, a bit generic and has become a trend even among straights, but again... it's the combination that matters).

Altough mannerism and actions might be correct for some gays, but may not correct for all gays. Some guys who is gay but u really cannot tell by their mannerism and actions.

It's true lor. I noticed this tall handsome man smiling at me at Taka while I was at the cashier. Anyway, i m not in the mood coz I just lao sia & want to pay for my purchase & get out asap. His gal was so sensitive & stared at me. She was wondering why her guy so happy.

The straight guys are turning more metro nowadays. They like to look at guys who are more manly & sexy.

I have a straight friend who has a high-pitch voice & lots of hand gestures/movt when he talks. He's happily married with 2 sons.

But his wife is more butch & domineering. Role reversal in marriage seems very common nowadays

I think gal also got gaydar - to seek & destroy!!!!!

I have heard stories of divorce bcoz the man turned gay or had a fling with guy. To the wife, it's unforgivable.

I wonder if if the same guy, of thai chinese mix? Super 8" bow-liked 'copulator'.

I met this guy one nite in a sauna. The nxt day, i saw him with his gal at Kino Taka.

For a few seconds, i was in a daze. I could not reconcile.

Nowadays, there are no sure way to tell if anyone is gay.

Everyone is a suspect.

I don't have to tell often have to tell people im gay. They could easily guess.

Girls generally have a better sense of gaydar cause they can tell whether you are into her.

That could have meant that he is bi and/or his gal does not satisfy his needs and he has to find it elsewhere.

to the straights, if a guy is very manly, he cant be gay.

to us gays, the more manly a guy is, the more he might possibly be a gay.

LOL.

quite true to a certain extend. some gals will tend to think that if a guy is unwilling to sleep with her, it will mean that he's gay.

At the same time, i always wonder if most straight guys are discriminative who they sleep with or they simply jump to bed at every hole possible.

To the ah beng straight, any hole will do :) he will even do your nostril or your eye if they r big enuff for his dick to enter

To the more educated straight, u must have a cute face & know to how to slang.

To the straight unker, u must have nice chest aka neh neh, esp if he can see ur erected tits thru your t-shirt.

To the straight ah kong, not applicable bcoz his dick has already retired.

OK, enuff of the fishing and soul bearing, lets get back to the fun stereotypes...

what's a 'gay-giveaway' CAR here in Sg. Im from Europe and there its 100% certain a guy in a Merc SLK is always gay, and two guys ..120% double-confirmed

Its basically the girly cars like Mazda MX5 that you'd expect to find in a Barbie toy set for the kids ..hehehe

Thanks for the advice!

What about a Porsche 911 or an Aston Martin?

Most gay like to wear tight pants.

Nowadays really not easy to tell whether a guy is gay or not, by looking at his dressing. Many str8 guys also wear until very "gay" now. :P

So wonder wht cars do most gays drive?

It's all in the eyes usually. It's easier to identify a gay man when you're a bystander. Just look at who the other person looks at, and usually they will immediately look down and then look at the other person again.

The more discrete they try to be about looking at the other person, the more likely he is attracted to the person and if the person is a guy, then that's your answer.

The only problem is whether you have the confidence to approach the person. Something which I wish I could do T_T

stereotyping

stereotyping

guess what? not all gay ppl act "gay". not by their voice, vocabulary, syntax, body language, dressing, accessories, car, apartment decor.

sure there are all those that are "typically" gay and quite often (more so in the past than now) a straight man would not be caught acting in that way.

in the past acting "gay" was the only way you were allowed to tell the world, to signal that you were gay. so some did. but even then the majority of gay men just hid themselves away and did their best to act "straight".

but as gay men have moved more into mainstream society and have become more visible, their "signature" actions have been picked up by straight men with no hangups (or possibly are just clueless) about acting gay.

and there are many, many, MANY gay men who even if they are not closeted would rather die than appear gay or "too gay".

and there are many gay men who act "straight" naturally, without even trying.

and all the chatter about eye-contact only works if one person is hot or attractive in some way to the other. otherwise the glance wouldn't linger. just because a person is gay doesn't mean he finds every male homo sapiens attractive.

and guess what? it is normal even for straight men to look at the dick first when presented with a naked male. it's a competition thing. (go and google this subject if you don't believe me.)

and as for the hot guy who is going out with a bunch of gay friends? welcome to the world of fag-stags! Straight men who enjoy the company of gay men. the world is changing.

all this means that while it is easier to tell if some men are gay, when presented with a "straight acting" guy basically short of getting into bed with him you will never know. and of course if you are not attractive TO HIM, then you will never know.

as my friend says: you could always just ask.

++++

as a post script we really shouldn't see the world as a straight-gay duality. there is the whole universe of non-gay MSM. so just because he is married with kids does NOT mean he will not be MSM....

Guest Truth
do you know is against the law to have an erection(visible or not) while working out, taking IPPT, in public transport, at hawker center, etc.

Huh? The lawmakers have got to be kidding me! Pubescent guys cannot control their erection at times.

I think most gay is more careful than straight.

Most gay will wear earring and 'sexy' shirt.

And i noticed something, most muscular and hensem boy/man is gay lol

I think the straight going for some hanky panky with guys are more careful.

Nowadays, all gaydars all up & at full alert esp over the wknds - just go to Orchard and experience yourself.

Not true, I just saw this uncle wearing a diamond studded ear ring(quite big & nice) at the market, with his wife.

Sexy shirt? long-sleeved or T-shirt.?

Dun forget, some ugly, out-of -shaped guys are also gay

another way is to go the cosmetic & fragrance section,chk out the guys there, 99.9% gay.

Same goes for outlets like Bodyshop, Starbucks, C&B, % lower though.

Not really 100% true. Many pple think gay will have erection on every single guy he saw, but i think gay also has his own liking lah. I only get erection if i see the type of guy i like or something attracted me. :P
