im pretty good at spotting a gay guy..but i admit i too struggle with lesbians hmmm unless i see two women kissing i struggle but then i cant take that for a sure sign they could just be good friends hmm... its tricky

CrystalCat · 15th Jun 2009, 04:59 PM

I can tell at times. But it's tricky at others. Im good at reading body language, so that helps, but at times my judgement gets a bit messed up

MusicIsLife · 15th Jun 2009, 05:34 PM

I have no idea. And thats a fact.

Apparantly I'm "obvious" but that doesnt help me find other girls who like girls xD

I don't know how you came up with THAT idea.

GhostDog · 15th Jun 2009, 05:44 PM

I wish I knew! I've spotted a few and then later confirmed that they were gay, but I don't know what I picked up on. And I'm sure there are a bunch I've missed.

Something in the body language, I guess. The ones I spot tend to be a little less overtly feminine, and usually had short hair, so I guess I'm only spotting the more obvious ones.

... Which makes me wonder if I'm spottable at all, haha. I just need to wear rainbows all the time! =P

Well.. Ask the girl if they like Rhinos or not and you'll know.

LOL! Does it only work for females or can us males use it too?

I can just imagine it.. Walking around school zapping people with it and seeing all the homophobes turn out to be gay.

littledinosaurs · 16th Jun 2009, 07:24 PM

Look for girls wearing rainbow stuff.
look for girls with shorter hair but lacking an artistic flair (some girls are just artsy and not gay)
look for girls who look kinda gansta.
look for girls in baseball hats?
(maybe look for girls without purses too?)

of course none of these are sure things but noticing these can help you identify lesbians.

Absentminded · 17th Jun 2009, 03:37 AM

Hey! I'm artsy AND gay!

Mention a rainbow, and listen to their reaction ("OOOHHH!!! I LOVE RAINBOWS!!!!" = TOTAL lesbian)

I only know the ones for the more masculine (being one..duh)

I've noticed that a lot of more masculine ones have some sort of bleaching done to their hair. Or extremely short hair...
That's about it. I can rarely tell based on the stereotypical things. My gaydar is quite special...

I thought it was called a Lesometer?
