My gaydar went off the other day, is it too sensitive or accurate?

doubtful, can't a guy be friendly without people making ridiculous claims about them without even knowing them?

Like....You fill those jeans out nicely, big boy

that's why I started a poll. I'm not comfortable enough to ask a stranger what cologne he is wearing, plus like I could really care.


Just because you're too scared of what people think of you when you ask someone a simple question doesn't mean everyone else is.

Have you ever had a gay guy try to pick you up or convert you?

apparently, it's stereotyped that guys who work at BR or Gap are gay.

It isn't a stereotype if it's true.

Heh I think the stereotype is if you're into how you dress and fashion/clothes, then you are gay... but there are plenty self-absorbed people (not saying you are either/nor) who are very much into looks also. There really is no truth to any of it. I think those who are scared to be mistaken as gay purposely act like they don't care how they dress to spite this stereotype.

The irony of that question is astounding. Yes, all the time people tried to when I worked at Starbucks (lol).

Yes. I have also been told that I exude straightness (whatever the fvck that means...)

Just because someone didn't pay $50 for a t-shirt, then he is scared to be mistaken as gay and doesn't care how he dresses? 😕

Well hey, we haven't had a new blanketing stereotype in a few days now, might as well start something new. ^_^

It would be different if I said "I think those who don't care how they dress are scared to be mistaken as gay".
