Do you have a good gaydar?
-
I would think yes i do. but thats probably biased cuz i only noticed the ones i think are gay, but there could be even more i dont notice
-
Back in the late 90s I figured out that I have good Queerdar. About 5 guys I identified as to myself as being Gay (over a couple of years) came out as Transwomen.
So, I can pick up something with men or women that might end up being Trans or Bisexuality or Gayness but I'm not neccesarily good at distinguishing 'Gay' in particular.
Except for celebrities - I even figured out Dumbledore from the books. -
My gaydar is dreadful. Occasionally, though, it may wind up being right. However, because it is so dreadful I never really act upon it.
-
Not at all. I told my boss I was gay years ago now - and he had invited me out with him and his mates one night (which id refused at the time). It was only later everyone else told me he was. And it was so obvious looking back
-
My gaydar works best with people around my own (middle) age. Under 25, I find it more difficult to be certain.
Maybe that's a good thing, as more guys, both straight and gay, become more confident in living their own truth, and being comfortable with their emotions, rather than valuing conformity above all, as in generations past.

Not really. It usually depends, if they're people who have similar interestst, then it works, but other than that.
-
I think I do.
Even when I find out the person I think is gay is married to a woman and has kids...I still haven't been convinced I'm wrong.

OMG - my Gaydar is non-existent! I'm generally clueless about other people in groups.
Case in point:
In 2014, I attended a party - a mixed party: gay/straight, male/female, old/young - and there were about 50-70 people there. I was still at the end of a 4-year marathon divorce process, but i was "livin the single life" and made it clear to several people at the party that I was "available"... Nonetheless, I went home alone
2 days later, I got a text from an unknown number. This guy says we met at the party, and that another person there gave him my number. He wanted to have dinner. I wasn't sure WHO this guy was, but there was this dreamy 55 y/o guy there I had had my eye on. He too had kids, but he was financially well off and retired... (I was struggling financially because of the divorce). He was looking forward to traveling and "enjoying his life to the fullest"! Anyway, we had chatted briefly, but he had "moved on" and started chatting up a group of very young guys... message received.
But, now I wasn't so sure! The thing was: I was certain his name was Richard, and the caller's name was David. But, I'm awful with names, so I went on the date.
Instead of 55 y/o Richard, this beautiful 26 y/o ebony God sits down at the table, says HE is David, and he was so glad I agreed to see him. Well, I did NOT go home alone that night...
David, being much younger, was still a very active "socialite" in the scene of Tampa Bay's Gay Life... we were invited to parties, and David liked to go out dancing (I'm an absolutely horrid dancer!)... On MOST nights, David would point out guys who HE SAID were checking me out...
The romantic thing would be to say "I only had eyes for David", and while that is true, the fact is: I was as oblivious to their presence or interest in me as I was to David at that first party!
Hence: I HAVE NO GAYDAR!
PS: Sadly, David passed away in 2017 as a result of a medical missed diagnosis. My heart remains, to this day, broken...
-
Dunno - never tested it on real people.
-
Not in my case. I'm very bad at identifying gay people around me...

If you'd like an amusing test of your gaydar, download "Playing it Straight" on here at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?returnto=%2Fmytorrents.php&id=0fcf8d30b4bef36f3f627acd8bc2072fdecd2cf98061038f, or "Boy Meets Boy" at https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=0e3e6ff1611472b33f627acd8bc2072f739d8c510482de62. These are similar miniseries (one British, one American) where a girl/guy dates a bunch of guys, some of whom are straight, and some gay. You don't find out which until someone is eliminated. (Note: Don't look these up on Wikipedia, as it will tell you who's gay and who's straight, and that takes the fun out of it.
PS: The torrent for "Boy Meets Boy" is an unnecessarily large DVD/ISO file. If you want it in .avi/.mp4 format, let me know and I can share it.

Problem with such shows is that you cannot really check them - their supposed orientation could be designated at random (or specifically) by screenwriters with the real thing being completely irrelevant.
