Jack's and Ennis' gaydar

Since the prime driving force in humans is self-preservation and reproduction, "gaydar" really boils down to the same intuition that heterosexual people have when they meet someone who represents a potential mate.

I'm not so sure if it's really so simple. I once worked with a woman (straight) who had exemplary "gaydar" (meaning she could sense the homosexuality of others). Within a few moments of talking to someone, she would get a strong sense of whether that person was or wasn't, and more times than not she would be proved right. She said she knew about me within seconds of meeting me, and also picked up on my friend, who worked in the same place as us at that time.

I wonder about that myself! Her intuition was certainly uncanny. I know she had had a near-death experience many years before, and had a very spiritual outlook on people and life. I lost touch with her some time ago, and miss her.
