Gay people really do have an inbuilt radar that helps them seek out like-minded souls, scientists have shown.
This sixth sense, or 'gaydar', ensures they pay more attention to detail, allowing them to pluck potential partners out of a crowd.
The Dutch researchers looked at whether straight and gay people focus their attention differently when faced with a problem.
A total of 42 men and women were shown pictures of outlines of large squares and rectangles, each of which was packed with smaller shapes.
Our brains are wired to take in the bigger picture, meaning that if we are shown a square filled with rectangles and asked what is inside, we can easily be fooled into saying 'squares'.
When the men and women were asked similar questions, the heterosexuals replied more quickly but were less accurate, the journal Frontiers in Cognition reports.
The homosexuals took longer but got more answers right, particularly when asked about the smaller shapes, suggesting they were able to see the small details as well as the bigger picture.
Or they were able to see the trees as well as the wood. Differences in attention to detail have previously been shown among religious groups, with Italian Roman Catholics looking at the bigger picture more than those with secular views and Israeli Orthodox Jews paying less attention to detail than Israeli non-believers. Dr Colzato said: 'This fits with the strong emphasis on social solidarity in both Catholicism and Orthodox Judaism.' In contrast, Dutch Calvinists, who are counselled on 'minding their own business', focus on detail rather than the bigger picture.

Crap! I went in to buy a new suit at lunch and this skinny salesman with a spray on tan and this weird hair that was blond at the tip, but brown underneath came flouncing up to me all lispy and with overly dramatic gestures trying to convince me that I needed some Euro cut skinny suit.
I thought he was super gay. Maybe he thought I was gay. Could have sworn I was straight since I’m enormously attacted to scoopscandal in the best way. Did like “Les Mis” tho’. Food for thought.
With the risk of being politically incorrect, I think this is similar to how pedophiles seem to have a sixth sense in how to choose the most vulnerable children. Homosexuals may have developed a similar intuition or sensitivity to those who radiate a similar demonic energy or perverted lust.

Anderson Cooper: Familiar with the terms tea bagging and tea baggers.
It's a tautoloy.
Since "inherent" homosexuality is, at the end of the day, either nonexistent or at best an absolute fantasy, there is really nothing to say about it.
We are, as they say, in violent agreement.
Some items I learned from living in Washington DC and Austin:
1) Any man who says they ‘understand’ women is probably gay.
2) Gay men are the best hair dressers.
3) Want to dress well to impress women, let a gay man pick out your suit at Nordstroms.
4) Many ‘gay’ men believe Madonna is a kitchen witch who used the homosexual community to further her own career.
5) Gay’s love Tammy Faye Baker!
According to the article, with your highly detailed description of the suit salesman...you might be a......;)
Hey.
What’re you dudes lookin’ at.
The proved that gay people have a tendency to see things differently. That does not translate into “gays can pick out other gay people”.
On the other hand, I find I am very good at distinguishing between women and men.
Crap! And if you deny being gay, they say you’re gay. And if you say you don’t care, they say you’re gay. They’ve got all the exits blocked.
And entrances - rotflmao
What is the hint the way they walk or the little rainbows?
OMG, it IS called a Gaydar!
A manly man....
I don’t want to know!
And adulterers are able to spot partners who don’t mind cheating with them. Imagine that.
