I only got 45 %. But it is very hard to tell in a picture. Gaydar works better in person.

How accurate were you? I scored 65%. Not so hot. Do you think Gaydar exists and how accurate is it in real life?


I scored 70%

You personally got 14 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 60% of all test takers.


Yes, I believe Gaydar exists. However it's one of those things that ebbs and flows.

There have been phases in my life when it was particularly strong and others where it seemed to have died completely.

Edit: I think the reason I was better at spotting gay men than gay women is because, unless they are really butch, lesbians aren't even a blip on my radar.

However, as a 100% straight woman I notice men and will rule out the gay ones for dating. Unlike some crazy women, I have no desire to waste my time trying to convert a gay man to straight. :tongue:

Agree with others, gaydar really only works in person (and not always then, but usually).

I have the worst gaydar imaginable when it comes to guys, but I can tell a lesbo from a mile away.:biggrin:

I took the test twice and got the same score both times.

:confused:

Sure, it works online, but in real life, my gaydar's a little tainted. Blips register where they shouldn't, and vice versa. :worried:

As a gay guy, I know gaydar exists. I scored 70%, but half of those were women, and it doesn't work so well on the opposite sex. Plus, still pictures are harder to judge, it takes more than that for the gaydar to kick in. Still, considering half were lesbians, I think I did pretty good. In real life, not just pictures, I pretty much have always hit it right about 95% of the time.

14 out of 20, better with guys.

I don't consider myself particularly observant or perceptive with people.

Alex8 plainly is.
