I'm obviously wasted - I wouldn't be short of custom down at Kings Cross.

How much could I earn, given that I have no morals anyway?

Are there non-gay-walking classes you can go to?

Yes. "How not to mince 101".

If anyone seriously wants to experience being chatted up by other men, just go to a club, dance a lot, freely make conversation with people, hold eye contact and (crucially) smile a lot. They'll swarm.

The exact same approach tends to haul in the women too. My clubbing days were never dull.

Anyway, in my opinion, this concept called gaydar is hard to describe in neat, arbitrary terms.

People argue if it is really a legitimate social concept, and then there are others who argue HOW gaydar works, among those that agree it exists.


Does your gaydar help you determine another person's sexual orientation by behavior, clothes, and/or physical appearance??

I tend to believe that for the most part, gaydar relies on behavior and clothes and not physical appearance. There are many straight men who have similar or the same hair styles that gay men have, for instance.
A lot of straight men also have high cheekbones, so that is out too, in my opinion.

And there are gays who will hit on you, while not sure if you are gay or not -- they tend to find out AFTER they take an interesting look at you.


By the way, Starchild is going to spank you with his fairy rod for not including his name in the title.
And what about Asher?

Oooh! What does this button do?


Gay men sure are shallow.

Oh and no offense of course. I can also spot a jew any time. There mannerism's give them away. (*cough/ they usually have big noses and dry sandpaper-skin too*cough)

You don't get around much do you? I worked in a furniture store for years. None of the Jews working there had large noses. One looked Irish except for his hair which was a bit kinky. In fact his father was part of the Chicago Irish politcal machine and when his father died the other guys came expecting a wake and were surprised there was no corpse. First clue they had that he was Jewish.

Take a look at Kirk Douglas sometime and tell me he looks Jewish. He looks as goyisher as I do.

I can't tell when somebody's a Jew at all. I'm okay when it comes o discriminating between European or Asian countries of origin, though (can easily tell the difference between an Englishman, a Frenchman and a German).

Walk faster. If nothing else than no one will be able to catch up to you.

Men never hit on me. Then again neither do women. Not even when I was younger. Maybe I just don't notice. Mabe those two girls that were making fun of my fast walking in Junior High School were really trying to get my attention.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I would struggle identifying an Ethiopian jew.

It depends. Arabs look just like the stereotype of a Jew but they mostly have accents that give it away. I can tell if they are from New York but thats just the accent.

My mother looked pretty Jewish but it was just that for some reason her father's side of the family has an unusually large noise for Norwegians and Germans. Well the nose plus her occasional use of a fake Jewish accent.

Jews that like me think I am Jewish. Protestants that don't like me think I am Jewish. All the Catholics know better. Why is beyond me as I haven't been Catholic for a very long time now.

[KrazyHorse]

Some people are better at it than me...

My girlfriend is very good at it (she's part Jewish, dated a Jew for 4 years, has lots and lots of Jewish friends). I have some, but not much more than general English population would suggest...

Yuck, Wittlich, your avatar is getting more and more awful all the time

Back on topic. I think "gaydar" is just an acquired skill of reading body language the way heterosexuals read each other. From this premise homosexual men then would have to have their own unique cues - "the walk" is simply the most obvious one - that other homosexual men can receive.

btw gays are not allowed in the army. how that one got in, beats me. propably as not to get the "embarassing" card of dismissal.

hell, saying gays aren't allowed in the army never stopped anyone. I don't know of any males who had admitted to me that they were gay (I prudent move, although I heard enough of stories of gays in the army I didn't know anyone personally), I do however know at least two lesbians in the army, and of one of them I'm one of the few people who know she has a girlfriend. Which is funny because I do hang out with her quite a bit and everyone always asks why I haven't banged her, and of course I can't say because she's a lesbian and has a girlfriend because I promised her I wouldn't say anything.

I've also heard a statistic recently that they are more gays in the army then there are in the navy, although I don't know why.

Smoking weed also isn't allowed in the Army, but that hasn't stopped me from toking whenever possible despite the piss tests regularly given (I took one four days after smoking, and another five days after toking, passing both). Anyway, the point is it's actually pretty easy to slip through the system if your even slightly motivated to do so.

[Bereta_Eder]

my point was why would he WANT to go to the army.
because if he just said he was gay he wouldn't have to go.

and I answered it too: propably because he didnt want to get the embarassing card of dismissal.

(In Greece military service is obligatory unless you're psychologically unfit or seriously physically unfit or gay. if you get dismissed and you dont serve it means you are one of those 3 things - or at least that the army qualified you as such) exceptions: being the member of a family which has lots of sons (dont remember how many) or having a seriously dehabilited person of your family which is supported only by you etc.
