    So a little while back I began to have suspicions that a good friend of mine was bisexual, me and him started talking and I said to him I'm gay, he said cool I'm bi. After that I was all like "yes! My gaydar works!!!" XD
    Do any of y'all have a good gaydar?

    my gaydar is shockingly bad. Once i was talking to this guy and i just thought he was being interesting and nice, my boyfriend said that he is clearly gay and coming onto me but i said he was delsiounal.... Yeah. turns out that he was and tried to put his hand down my pants. I was just like WOAH....

    Mine works pretty well, over 50% of my friends happen to be queer. Many times I have silently guessed my friends sexuality correctly.

    I sometimes get strong feelings that someone is gay, bi or curious. I'm usually correct. My gaydar doesn't work if I'm just looking at pictures or I'm put under pressure. I also have a tv watcher-dar. I can usually tell when someone is addicted to tv.

    Sometimes, yes. I knew this one kid in school was gay before he did. :grin:. I can usually tell by looking at pictures but not always. It's normally much easier in person. Looking at how people walk and gesture helps too.

    I go to vet school and when I'm bored in lectures I often sit and try to work out which of the boys on my course (of which there are very few) are gay, straight, bi whatever (because vet schools tend to have few straight guys compared to other courses/unis). I've sort of guessed in general terms what I think each of them are, or what I know some of them are, but it's very hard sometimes.
    No, I don't think my gaydar is that great. Every so often I can guess right but as a rule it's pretty hard to guess

    It's hard to say actually because I have no feedback. I just see some people who I think could be gay but because I can't just go and ask them "ehm, are you gay?" I don't know if my gaydar works or not.

    It works almost never for me, and I end up always falling for the straight ones...

    My Gaydar is pretty good but only if we interact with each other. Not sparse interaction because then I won't get a good reading...LOL I sound so weird.

    Pretty terrible. I am acquaintances with a guy who is in some ways pretty stereotypically gay and was still surprised to learn he has a boyfriend.

    It's a hit and miss. It seems to work the best with men. Whereas with women, it seems to be much harder for me to pick up on the signals. That or I misinterpret the signals.

    I have to admit that mine is pretty close to excellent. I'm only very occasionally wrong.

    It used to be not as good, but now it's pretty darn good :grin:. What happens with me is that I suspect that the guy is gay/bi, with the somewhat possibility that he's surprisingly straight. I have a Chilean friend whom I contact a lot on Facebook and Skype, and I immediately knew that he was gay because...he gave me "the signals", meaning...something that I've picked up because...I myself am gay, and I know that my straight guy friends would never act like this towards me. He was super friendly, being coy, and never ever explaining his romantic situation. So, I was right :slight_smile:
