Lack of "Gaydar" makes it difficult to tell 'em straight

what a ridiculous article...

The only Gaydar I would need is that if some guy ever grabbed me is to launch a right cross to his pretty face or a kick to his testicles.

[Cathryn Crawford]

You need to read this.

[Lil'freeper]

Clearly, my gaydar needs help. Is the author a male or a female?

[LanPB01]

What's really odd about this is that when I was an undergraduate, my floor in the dorm seemed to have an unusually large number of homosexuals on it. There was always talk of "Gaydar" back then.

You hardly need Gaydar anymore thanks to our cultural toilet. Most gays are in your face (pun intended) and very few are hiding their lifestyle.

True. And if this woman is looking for quality men a bar is not the place to find one.

[Temple Drake]

a "normal" conversation with a woman? I DON'T think so. I worked for an arts organization once -- all the fags there did was make evil remarks about any woman who stepped out of the room.

[Agnes Heep]

Just look for the ones who are one hundred precent artificial in everything they say and do.

[Nonstatist]

This ditzoid has too much time on her hands. She needs to get a job.

I don't know if it is a lack of 'gaydar,' the fact I really don't give a fig, or that none of my gay friends (male or female) flaunt it - but someone else has had to inform me about every one one of them.

True again... they should look into the Episcopal church.

[rrrod]

this article is an insult to bars and saloons!

[talleyman]

Just ask if they like Barbra Streisand

[=Intervention=]

She makes the age-old mistake of assuming those who can hold a conversation and have some kind of intelligence must be gay. Maybe that's the problem with being relatively intelligent and straight, is that all the women think you're gay? Her gaydar needs some tuning alright.

[joesnuffy]

Don't get me wrong: I applaud the metrosexual's aesthetic and culinary advancements and the Fab 5's contributions in transforming straight stinkods to savvy studs.

I thank the good Lord.. I grew up in the country and married a country gal

[Gabz]

Not fair to use such a broad brush.

I met my husband in a bar - and a quality man is the perfect description of him.

Don't forget mens room etiquette - you don't stand next to someone you don't know at the urinal unless you're at a ballgame, and when at a ballgame, you don't talk to anybody you don't know at a urinal unless you're drunk, and then, the only permissible subjects are the game, women you saw, or something about renting beer. You never mention the latest shoe sale - thats a dead giveaway.

Don't forget mens room etiquette...

There trully is a such thing as mens room etiquette... it's always been an unspoken rule... but it does exist...good point!
