    I so happen to be a stealth bomber on almost everyones gaydar whether they are gay, bisexual or straight which sort of gets annoying and I have no idea how to change it. Every new person i meet assumes I'm straight even after they get to know me and when i tell them i'm not? :eusa_danc they end up not believing me :eek:

    So how do you beep on peoples gaydar and how can you make yourself "visible"

    I'm not quite sure what you're asking...
    Are you wanting advice on how to act gayer?

    Don't worry about people who don't believe you're gay. Don't act a different way to prove anything to anyone. Just be yourself. :slight_smile:

    I'm not even blip. Most people didn't believe me when I came out, and some still say that can't believe it. Probably why I was in that damn closet so long.

    Usually people know i'm gay when a cute guy walks by and my jaw drops or I say something stupid like, "DAMN!"

    I don't think I register one way or another. Anyone who knows me knows I don't have a life, so they don't really seem to wonder.

    People would really need to pay close attention to even have the thought that I might be gay. I just don't give off that vibe. And I don't act very strangely either unless I'm around close friends. Someone might eventually catch me checking a guy out, but apparently I'm doing it right, because no one's ever seemed to notice.

    The best way to actually get people to think you're gay if you're barely a blip is probably to wear some sort of pride bracelet or something.

    All the people I came out to(except one) said they had no clue. I don't make a beep on gaydars apparently.

    As someone else who isn't in the spectrum the gaydar can pick up on, I'm going to give another plug for rainbow paraphernalia; it certainly helps me be more visible on people's gaydars. I have a rainbow ribbon pinned on my book bag and I wear a rainbow hemp necklace from time to time. Those two things together let people know that all is not as it seems with me. :slight_smile:

    Pretty much everyone assumes for me. Its weird, because how exactly does one act like a bisexual? There's all the stereotypes that gay men are flamboyant and lesbians are manly, but people just assume that bisexuals are sluts from what I've seen. I'm far from a slut... I don't understand people but whatever :slight_smile:

    I have a wristband i sometimes wear, but it makes my wrist itchy, so i dont wear it often. But if im not wearing anything girls usually figure it out. I asked one of my straight friends once, and she said i'm "very comfortable with girls". hehe. Most guys dont believe me, or think i'm bi but don't know it or something :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    EDIT: I just realised how pervy that sounds xD

    If im not wearing any rainbow pride jewelry.

    I'm the exact same way -- most people assume I'm straight. The rainbow bracelet has helped a little bit, but otherwise, guys don't look my way.

    A while back I thought I should try dressing the stereotypical "gay" fashion--ie V-necks, stylish hair, and speak with the "gay" tone of voice. I quickly found (a) it didn't work out for me at all, and (b) it's always better to just be the way you are.

    Get your eyes done. You apparently are in the 1% who don't have "gay eyes".

    This. And you don't have to change your appearance or habit to make other people see that you're not straight, because even if you do, there might still be people who won't believe you, so you would have done all that work for nothing. In short, you can't make others think what you want them to.
