    I'm just wondering how strong everyone's gaydar is here, since this is a mainly gay/bi orientation site :icon_mrgr

    Mine is INCREDIBLY strong for men.....I can tell a straight from a gay/bi, but I can't really tell for a woman D: .

    I sometimes get very strong "vibes" about people, but I don't trust them at all!

    i just look for the typical gay stereotypes. but otherwise, it's pretty hard for me to tell. even some guys whom i thought were gay weren't. either that, or they were closeted.

    It fluctuates. Sometimes I'll get heavy vibes from a certain person and turn out to be wrong, sometimes a person will come out that I never expected. Of course, I have been right a few times, but usually it's because of how glaringly obvious the person is about their sexuality.

    QFT!

    But it also helps if they're guys wearing pink flip-flops and have bleached hair. :thumbsup:

    Bit of a sub-question: for those with strong gaydars, has your gaydar developed over time or have you always had this ability?

    i can usually tell me,even if theyre not stereotypically gay
    woman on the other hand,hmm not so great,shame really!
    there was a girl at work,told me as if did i know she was gay,ha woteva i knew the second i saw her.she reckons she knew bout me too. but a lot of ppl are shocked wen i tell them when i'm out - which is quite annoying cuz the woman are like "nooo i would never have thought it"

    Mine is pretty accurate.
    I can even spot a closet gay and one time I instantly recognised a trans MTF by seeing her eyebrow o0
    I have a bit more trouble with lesbians but I'm usually right.
    Sometimes straight guys in clubs set off my gaydar on purpose, like, they look at me, wink, start chatting but if I dance to close they push me away..

    Well, I have trouble some times, but I make eye contact with everyone. If our eyes lock its usually a good sign lol. But I dont know. I think my gaydar goes on the fritz to often to be really reliable... Bias by wishful thinking i guess.

    I don't even bother. If I think a person might be, and it's relevant, I'll ask. Otherwise, I just don't care. :slight_smile:
