Has anyone ever guessed your sexuality by looking at you?

    Someone told me today that I had a "gay look". Not sure what he meant by that.

    Has anyone ever told you that you looked like your sexuality? Was it because of something stereotypical, or was it more abstract like in my case?

    On my first day at college my classmate was staring at me and said 'are you bisexual?' I didnt have a clue why she said that but i just nodded. XD

    Nope,

    I've not had anyone comment on or guess about my perceived sexuality.

    Happy days :slight_smile:

    No, they have not. They (unfortunately) assume I'm straight.

    Or people assume it and they don't say it out loud. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    They do. It's a good thing and a bad thing for me because they are obviously saying it because of stereotypes (I use many hand gestures and am a bit feminine) but, on the other hand, other gay guys know :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    It happened to me once, not about my sexual orientation... About a private fetish/kinky stuff. I had no idea I was so easy to read, not that I try to hide it, but I wasn't wearing nothing related to it...

    Kind of things you can't forget :wink:

    Everyone assumes I'm straight, yet I'm not even that feminine looking/acting

    No, everyone assumes I'm straight. Yet I don't want to actively change my mannerisms and act more gay, but I do want to catch the attention of other gay guys. It's what you might call a catch-22 situation.

    Tons of times people have presumed I'm gay or bi, only one person has gone "are you pansexual?"

    Not quite. A few people have asked me if I liked girls, or had a girlfriend, after replying in the negative to "do you have a boyfriend?" Once, my cousin asked me outright. But so far friends have expressed surprise when I've come out, and I think most people operate on the assumption I'm straight.

    There was a guy once, when I was keeping it quiet, that somehow knew it after a few hours of hanging out around me.

    Or maybe he just realized how attracted I was to him? Who knows...


    Never right away, that I know of, though.

    Well, not my sexuality exactly, but one time one of my friends mom spooked me asking if I was trans! o.o I was out to that friend so I immediately grilled him about what the hell he'd told her but he hadn't said a thing and I was just floored that she seemed to know somehow... I think some people are just insightful though... >.> idk no one else has really guessed about me being trans >.> but that was just weird
