Little brother? Left-handed? Youngest sibling? Can’t read maps? Well according to some recent interesting research published by the Sydney Morning Herald (with extracts from the Los Angeles Times) these are very common in gays. I found this interesting so here’s an extract: Full article here:http://www.smh.com.au/news/science/young-man-does-science-see/2008/06/25/1214073342446.html
Interesting article....I fit some of them Also, I noticed a lot of programmers are gay/bi as well (I program too lol)
hmm .. older brother right handed and i don't ask for directions, i ask for a map - memorize it, and don't need directions
Left handed, youngest brother, and I have a sense of direction like you wouldn't believe. And I can read maps.
I like the ring finger longer than the pointer finger thing better.. it's worked for me and the gay/bi guys around me so far; and in the straight's too
Hmm, that's a trait I haven't noticed TBH. That said, I'm a programmer myself :roflmao: Same here, and I'm fairly sure I can read maps.. Not that it's something I have to do too often.. I might have to mention the "Each older brother will increase a man's chances of being gay by 33 per cent" "fact" to my mum, I have 4 younger brothers hehe. Though, the oldest of my younger brothers is as straight as they come.. The others are too young to tell yet!
OMG PROGRAMMER STEREOTYPE? That's amazing.. I'm not like an uber programmer, but I'm actually in ADV Programming in school and I love it and will probably base my career on it.. and there's this other guy in there who is bi I think Swamp56 has discovered something.
Right handed (though I have crappy handwriting) Youngest brother. Can read maps. I do program, but I think on online forums you're going to find a tend of more pro-tech people, and people tend to have friends somewhat like themselves (eg: pro-tech).
Wow. I'm the oldest. Right- handed. I think my sense of direction is probably average. Almost didn't remember what programming was.
Hmmmmmmmm..... does this apply for lesbians too?? Because I'm oldest sibling, right handed and can read maps remarkably well if I do say so myself. So I'm think no!
Right handed, and one older brother. I can read a map! And I'm studying to be a programmer (and I guess I could consider myself one already.) Wow, time to pick up some guys in my programming classes.
Youngest (one older brother), right handed, can read a map, always have my handy phone on me (which has maps + directions on it), I love computing/programming and yeah...
I also read somewhere that many gay people have hair that grows counter-clockwise... doesn't apply to me, probably just a statistical coincidence in someone's research. I don't fit those characteristics either... oldest, right handed, no problem with maps or directions, also 6'1". The programming trend is interesting. I've done lots over the years, but absolutely hate it!
Uhhhh youngest sibling, but older sibling is female, I'm six foot three, right handed.... I can read a map, or at least attempt. but I'm technically geographically illiterate
Oldest, Right-handed and have enough sense to read a map.. I generally have a good sense of direction. I find it silly, how they try to study us. Don't they have something more important to be researching, like a cure for Alzheimer's or something?
