I'm getting that gaydar thing too - why would anyone want a gaydar? What purpose would it serve?? I enjoy doing the gaydar test. Apparently I can recognise gay people better than my gay friends. Sometimes I think that they only want to go out with me just because I'm good to spot them!

I don't have a gaydar. Plus, Stace, you don't NEED a straight-dar because it's statistically likely that pretty much 9 out of every 10 guys you meet will be straight. You can't try and tell me that you run into so many gay guys that you'd need one... A "gaydar" tells you if someone is gay. And I'm hopeless at telling My friend's Mum apparently has a legendary gaydar....her verdict on me (from a picture of me) was that I was gay, and then later she renounced that and said that I was a butch lesbian (I'm not butch) and then later she said that I wasn't really a lesbian and was just pretending to be one.... Er? wtf? How the hell does that work?

Errr actually i'd wager that 9 out of 10 of the guys we went to uni with were gay...if not openly then in denial And i could do with something that points out single, attractive, non-old, non-freak men to me

Wow..that's weird! The stereotype about my school is that we're all gay...there are 3 girls schools in Canberra, one's the "slut/teen preggers" school (they're right next to a boy's school), then there's the stuck up one, then there's the gay one...our brother school also gets called a gay school But all the people I know who are allegedly gay/bisexual are either faking it (I don't know why! They want to be "alternative and different") or they're really horrible/ugly/not my thing at all :S So yes. I think I need to move somewhere else..or get a gaydar, because so far I haven't met anyone available who I actually liked (only one guy likes me - a GUY. Yes, he's bisexual, but he's a guy!)

Gaydar....pah....if there's such a thing as Gaydar then i've got the Force... Oh and Chloe...don't worry about the "freakdar" thing....i've got that....they're called my ex's

I think gaydars are a load of complete crap. I definitely don't have one! I can make an objective analysis based on someone's behaviour and relationship history of their sexuality, but I can't go "Oh that man who walked into the room is OBVIOUSLY gay. I could feel the vibe." I mean..unless I was at a gay pride convention and he walked in wearing a rainbow flag as a cloak and a torn leather jacket with "I'm gay" on the back...and even then I might think it was a joke...
Yeah, my friend's mum is a complete utter loony. She had in her head that my family was a family of vegetarians who wouldn't give her daughter anything to eat. And I have NO idea where she got that from. Because I'm pale? Um...is that it?
She's basically a highly anxious, judgemental person who makes very rapid decisions and judgements of people based on pictures/other people's accounts/meeting them once for about 3 seconds. She seems to think my brother is a creepy weirdo and hasn't even SPOKEN to him...maybe she saw the back of his head once, but that was probably about it.

Yeah....that would be it....and by the sounds of it she saw the words "Child of Satan" written on the back.... Wow....how can people be so judgemental??? I get it a lot from people who find out i'm gay then find out i also like rock music...."Hang on you mean you like Bowling For Soup??...I thought you'd be a big Euro Disco fan..." WHAT THE FUCK? ?

Yeah..bit retarded. Luckily I don't get stereotyped so much..but I hate the gay stereotype. Obviously I don't suffer from it too much but the idea that all gay people are flamboyant swish showtunes loving men who have great fashion sense is just plain SILLY. I like my brother's friend because he's gay and he isn't camp...I actually find camp really really really irritating!
My bisexual female friend (the same one with the nutso Mum, who refuses to believe that she is bisexual - instead saying that she's mentally disturbed) for some reason really really loves camp gay culture - the drag queens and all that. Personally camp drives me crazy because it's so un genuine.
Oh, here's a corker from my friend's Mum..
Her: Oh, I can always tell lesbians because they have higher levels of male hormones so they have a more manly appearance and a deeper voice than straight women
Friend: But what about me? I've experienced same sex attraction and I'm feminine! (she is, long nails, high heels, all that palaver. I'm gender neutral)
Friend's Mum: Oh, but that's because you're mentally disturbed!
:S I'm so glad me Mum isn't like that. Worst Mum to have if you were in any way gay! For some reason that Mum doesn't mind gay men, but hates lesbians. Which is an annoying attitude which some heterosexual women have - some hetero men have the opposite - fine with lesbians and disturbed by gay men.
It's only because they have a deep fear that we're going to join forces and ravage them. Come on! As if that's likely.
On the same topic (yes, I'm going on and on) there's really annoying lesbian stereotypes in women's TV shows. Like Cashmere Mafia.
This guy is randomly having a wank in a lesbian bar's bathroom when a women comes in (allegedly a lesbian.) Woman: OooH! Naughty! (or something cringeworthy to that effect.) So do you come here often to pick up lesbians? Man: Only lipsticks.
Then they go off together. WHAT? That doesn't work! Aargh! For the start, if a man picks up a lesbian, she isn't a lesbian. And for another thing, even if you were bisexual or straight and you walked in on a man wanking, you'd be like "eerghhh get away you disgusting pervert! Save it for your bedroom!"

And that's why they didn't get a second season....
Oooo on the subject of TV is Kath and Kim still on air in Australia? I haven't seen it over here for ages.... I miss that show....anyway....
I love the way people either belittle or trash what they don't understand....I once had a friend (he was a good guy just a bit dumb) who couldn't understand how i could be gay....and every so often when we were in bars he would say "But look at her....does that not make you want to be staight??" and i'm like "Well...no...." and he just couldn't understand why i don't find women attractive....
It's odd....but out of the two sexes i find that women are the more accepting of the two when it comes to my sexuality....All my female friends were much more supportive wheni came out....i would say i lost 90% of my male friends....butyet not one female turned around and said "oh my god that's sick..." Life is odd isn't it?

^ I think women feel less threatened by gay men, obviously. Because they don't have to fear "BEING BUMMED..." Oh no!
Which I think a lot of straight men feel. They also (speculating here), might feel like hanging around with a gay guy will make them look gay and everyone will think they're gay. They feel threatened, basically, partially because they don't understand.
Imagine if we act like that with straight people! I must admit..well, I am a little unsure of men, I don't like walking past groups of guys cause I feel rather like "Oh no, he's checking me out, I bet he's checking me out and I'm not interested ever!" Stupid, yes, and it wouldn't stop me talking to them or being friends with them, but for some people that fear is so much that they can't even associate with gays.
