How To Tell If He's Gay or Straight

[Artiste]

Thanks tampatalon!

If you can tell if a man is gay or straight, let me know!! ??

Last year when I was  often on a gay internet site, I found out that many or some considered themselves straights even when they used their jack and/or saw those who did!! What a surprise!! You wonder why these refused the word gay?

"A 1999 Harvard study, for example, found that just by looking at the photographs of seated strangers, college undergraduates were able to judge sexual orientation accurately 55 percent of the time."

Which would mean this study was 5% better than guessing, and has error?


on an aside....it is ignorant of me to assume that half the pop is gay and half is straight?


Here is a fuller description of the UCLA study:

And BelAir - yes you are right! In fact, it says nothing about traits of gays or lesbians - read carefully. They had 4 gay men and 4 lesbians, 4 straight men, 4 straight women. That's a miniscule sample! Read the above carefully.....they essentially did no better than complete guessing!

Thanks Longhorn32!  And all!!

Wonder why that study had 50 per cent gay men?

Another study, many years ago, said there are 10 per cent of men in society are gay!

Wonder if we, gay men, are much than that 10?

The number of men who have, or have had, sexual relations with other males is certainly much higher than ten percent.

I agree with you very much according to my own experiences.

One reason that we need much more surveys?
