Does gaydar really exist in the first place? The only "gaydar" you can have, in my own belief, is when you see your friend ogling at his waiter's ass. Clothing choice, gait, speech style, and hobbies/interests are misleading, and to guess someone's orientation from them will almost always play on stereotypes. Unless, of course, the only topic your friend talks about is how he thinks boys are so hot, or how your other friend mentions how much she loves looking at boobs. Even then, they could be bisexual. Who knows? But yeah. My two cents.
If someone has an advice for that it would be useful. But 'catching' someone on a gaydar is more for their gay stereotypes... and the person doesn't need to have any of the stereotypes to be homosexual, the only thing they need is to like the same sex. Though i have something i call a 'gay magnet'. Idk how i easily meet so many gay guys and guys that still haven't accepted they are gay seem to always fall in love with me. But unfortunately in my whole life i have met only 3 gay girls
Want to switch places with me? I swear, all the girls I know are lesbians, but I only know two queer guys :eusa_doh:

Evidently, gaydar has been shown scientifically to be around 60% accurate on average. It's a pity that mine's well below that; it would be awesome if there were a way to improve it.
The more you are around gay or lesbian folks, especially ones who are out, the more dialed in it will become. As for the ones who are not out, shorter exposures to them wouldn't be much help, but longer exposure to them tends to work, as they tend to deliver on some of the clues. Being male, my gaydar developed first, mostly toward the end of college and then by entering the workforce in a big city. By the time I hit 30, the sixth sense for identifying lesbians also improved. As for bisexuals, it's not that easy, especially if they are in an opposite sex relationship or are married. However, they can also register on some of the typical traits and you might be onto something. Being onto something out of malice or for a feather in your cap, though, is not cool. Being onto something for the purpose of handling yourself around GLBT folks if there is a potential interest or to act properly, meaning respectful, if there is no interest is ok. Sorry for the candor. Ask a question. Get an answer.
There was a super cool research thingy I read about lesbians. Basically the pheromones that humans emit when they feel attraction or interest are picked up by similar parties. That's why sometimes 2 people can feel an instant "zing" just walking past each other or similarly, lesbians can literally smell eachother just by pheromones. AND it's completely subconscious. I have NO clue where to find these studies but I'd google up "lesbian pheromones" or "gay pheromone" or something like that, you'll find a bunch of articles on it. This doesn't help you with updating your gaydar though Have you tried installing the newest version? lol
My gaydar must be jammed as well. I think we both received the same defective model. Did you keep the receipt?
