Looking to purchase a gaydar

I would love to help... but my gaydar is probably just as bad as yours LOL sorry this didn't help one bit.

 

LOL

Apparently my straight friends are better than I am. How silly is that? So, have your straight friends help you???

Anyway, how is Kelowna? Is that on the mainland? I went to university in Victoria, so that's my only reference point in your wonderful lands.

 

She's talking about this:
That 3 To 5 Seconds.. - YouTube

ImO a shy girl might look away first and give a few interested glances later...

It might also be interesting just where people look at... at which persons...

I'd quite like to replace my pleasebegaydar with a functioning gaydar.

 

Haha, me too! My gaydar is so out of whack it's crazy. Which is probably why I can't manage to get a girlfriend, let alone find that many girls to talk to who are gay.

I wish you luck!

 

When I read the title, I thought there was some app you could purchase that shows other people in your area running the same app.

Well, I suppose "real" gayday does not exist yet.
Would be fun to use, but it's not that relevant to me.
I absolutely encourage inventing it for the gay populace, though, it'll make things much easier for them!

 

I just watched this video, and this happened to me so many times today. I went to pride today, and there were women everywhere Men to, but, I wasn't looking at them. Anyways, I lost count of the amount of times someone gave me this look. It definitely works, it's like a 3-5 second communication between the two of you. I learned something valuable today. (!)

 

There's a lot of books, audio books, podcasts and youtube videos on improving your gaydar... they vary in quality though and some actually kind of come across as a bit offensive and/or hilarious (example below). Worth a look though.

I guess straight people don't have the "I hope they're gay" fantasy running in the background when they're trying to work it out.

There's also - I think it's called "the three step, turn" that straight people use.
If you're walking in the opposite direction past someone and you like the look of them - take 3 steps and then look back. If they do the same thing, then you're in.

 

I wish I had one of those. Why don't they sell them in stores. :newcolor:

 

Yeah, please don't try and tell who's transgender or not, we try and live our lives in stealth (Or some of us do anyway) I personally don't want people trying to clock if I'm trans or not

But my gaydar is on point, I thought one of my friends was gay, all the girls were after him, 4-5 months later he came out as gay

 

Mine's pretty average.

For me it's more intuition, i can't really explain it more than that. It's certainly not something i've learned to do. Unfortunately it does get thrown off occasionally by, as Maddie put it, pleasebegaydar.

 

Mine's okay, for the most part...you just have to be very observant is all.

 

There have been times when I was spot on and others where I was just plain wrong

 

I'd say keep practising... you don't necessarily have to smile, but I'd say its better...
its just a longer glance than just looking... its getting across I like you or I'm interested in you...
and possibly getting that back...
she might look away... but might look interested later...

There is a difference if she looks not interested, or if she looks shy...

you could take it from there, starting a casual conversation...

just remaining calm, being friendly and interested...
sometimes the others are shy, too... so it comes down to just saying hello and saying something that shows you like her or you want to come in contact with her... asking questions, for example... open questions possibly, not ones that can be easily answered with just yes or no...
