[Kid_A]

1. It's super, thanks for asking!

[MissMillie]

2. 60% (n/t)

[sniffa]

3. i got 70

i'm ashamed

[JimmyJazz]

4. Mine, apparently is non-existent. Damn and the avatars are down --

now how am I supposed to tell? :P (like I really care)

[da_chimperor]

5. 50%, that sucks

[Mabus]

13. Me too.

Although I'm better at recognizing gay men. In a way that makes sense since most of my male friends are gay.

[Spider Jerusalem]

6. 80%...

and I was better at spotting female gays than males. Better score than 85% of test takers.

[XNASA]

7. 65% when using only pictures.

I not sure what that means. :shrug:

[meegbear]

8. I throw False-Negtives so mine is not so good.

[Meldread]

9. Gaydar must be getting rusty!

I got a little more than half. :P

[spinbaby]

10. 55%

Guess I don't have gaydar.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. 65%

Better w/females than males.

Of course, that is only using a still picture - which really doesn't tell much.

unless you can tell if the men use moisturizer... (personal joke)

[Allenberg]

28. 65 here too

but I've been on a military base in Japan for 2.5 years. I'm rusty. :P

[AlCzervik]

12. a little better then i thought

------------------------------------------------------------------------
You scored
65%


BTW, is franken web still being hacked?

[sniffa]

24. i suppose

it's offLine now (you know that?) - i know there's a super-secret rendevous web site for such an occasion, i just never had the common sense to bookmark it. :P

i sent eric an emaiL today, and i'LL Let you know what's up when i hear back. i know sir rhino was pLanning on puLLing the site for a day whiLe i tried patch things up, but it's been more than a day. :shrug:

the hacking was worse than eric intimated in his announcement.

[indigobusiness]

14. Mine's not so good. But why is it, if you are nice, men think you're gay?

I have to go around growling to keep my reputation intact.

edit- 65%??? Maybe I am gay???

This just confuses me further. Like I need that.

[Tafiti]

15. 75%, better at guys than girls. n/t

[Red State Rebel]

55. Me too -

I've been around a LOT more gay men than women - don't know that much about that side of the fence.

[Bouncy Ball]

16. Pretty damn good, apparently.

75%

"You personally got 15 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 72% of all test takers."

Better at recognizing guys than girls. Must explain why I never had any lesbian experience in college.

And in person, I bet I approach 100%. But I wonder what it's useful for. I mean, it's not like I need to identify gay people because they pose some kind of harm to me. So why the need to identify them in the first place?

People are people. And I thought a lot of those people on that test were cool looking.

(Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be a wet blanket or anything. I am sincerely wondering why I have such useful gaydar skills. It doesn't really serve any purpose for me, especially because I apparently can't even pick out gay girls very well! LOL!)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

22. Might be useful if you're single. (nt)

[Bouncy Ball]

25. True, true.

But I'm straight. Only mild bi tendencies. So it really doesn't serve any purpose in me. It'd be nice if I could give a gaydar transplant to some gay man who has none.

[Spider Jerusalem]

30. Yeah, BUT...

if you WERE single, being able to spot gay MEN would be an advantage, so as not to embarrass yourself...no?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

36. Gaydar-for-hire? Do I sense a business opportunity there? (nt)

[indigobusiness]

38. I have a bad habit of hitting on gay women.

Rejection is bad enough, but humiliation is the pits.

This is how it is useful...or would be...if I could get it down.

[Patiod]

17. 90%

and better at spotting girls than guys.

Too many predominantly lesbian Solstice parties.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

18. 75%

"You personally got 15 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 72% of all test takers."

[Bouncy Ball]

23. Hey! Exactly what I got!

Rock on with your bad (good) gaydar!

[Liberal In Texas]

19. 75% better at females than males n/t

[meganmonkey]

20. Well, I did it twice

The first time I kept thinking it was like trick questions, and I only got 45%.

So the second time, I went on instinct and 'impressively scored 75%'..
The pics were different the second time around - some overlap but paired up differently.

[sniffa]

27. yeah, some were so obvious

that i couLdn't pick them.

Like the girL with the rainbow fLag? it's gotta be a trick.

[kick-ass-bob]

32. I was thinking trick questions too. So I did it again and got 80%. n/t

[nickinSTL]

21. 70%

better at recognizing gay guys

Not a surprise, I've never felt too confident in my ability to distinguish gay women :shrug:

Probably good I'm not dating :D

[BiggJawn]

26. Pretty bad, I missed Spongebob....

Funny, it used to be better...:-)

[Dookus]

29. 85%

it's a gift.

[Lerkfish]

31. ok, my gaydar is worthless: 55%

[TahitiNut]

33. 75% ... and I DON'T believe in "gaydar"

"You personally got 15 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 72% of all test takers."

It's just NOT MY JOB to make such judgments. I firmly insist on honoring and respecting each person's right to define themselves without some labelling from me.

[carolinayellowdog]

34. 65%, better at women than men

which means better at random guessing than thinking about it b/c I did a lot more of that with women. Are gays any better at this than straights? I doubt it.

[orleans]

63. i got the same score and description

and i spent more time trying to figure out the women then the guys--obviously that higher level of thought paid off for me.

[Left Is Write]

35. 75%.

[bloodyjack]

37. 75%

Better at recognizing males than females, and 72% better than all test-takers

[NewJeffCT]

39. 55 percent, but better at men than women

I thought they were easier, but I guess that's cuz I'm a guy.

[DrGonzoLives]

40. 15 of 20

Basically got all the girls right, but otherwise, yeah, I'm pretty good.

[nickgutierrez]

41. 70%

And apparently, I was more accurate with the guys than with the girls. That could get me into trouble at some point...

[DrWeird]

42. I got a perfect score.

50%

[Lex]

43. 75%

You got 14 of the 20 . . .

[outraged2]

44. 90%

[Orsino]

45. 25%

I guessed, no doubt incorrectly, that whichever of each pair "looked gayest" was the incorrect choice, thinking that a major point was being made.

I think a big point *was* made, but not the one I expected.

[Redleg]

46. 70%- better for detecting gay men than for women.

Oh well.

[mvd]

47. 55% 1st time - 75% 2nd time

Guess my gaydar needs tuning up.

[clovis29]

48. broken -- I think everyone is the same

[6000eliot]

49. 45%

I can't believe I'm so bad at this. My gaydar used to be a finely tuned machine. I've been in a relationship for the last 11 years, so maybe it atrophied.
:shrug:

[Kenneth ken]

50. 65

You personally got 13 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing girls than guys. Overall, you guessed better than 40% of all test takers.

:shrug:

[drumwolf]

51. Took the test twice

Scored 65% and 70% respectively. Both times, I was better at recognizing men than women.

[Cadence]

52. Hey- I was asking about you earlier.

Were you at the protests today?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

53. 70%

[LDS Jock]

54. 45% .... I've always been terrible

and better at picking lesbians than gay men. I would never have thought.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

56. Sixty percent, but it's hard to tell from a still picture

A lot of my "gaydar" comes from seeing the way the person acts.

[libnnc]

57. 65% I need a tune-up

Young women with long hair throw me off...I'm kind of butch looking so I'm clueless about lipsticks :silly:

[DaveinMD]

58. 60

better at girls than guys.

[tibbir]

59. I got 70%, better with women than with me

which explains how I could have been married 23 years to a man who turned out to have been bisexual throughout our marriage and came fully out of the closet after we separated. I think my gaydar back then was in the negative numbers.

[miss_kitty]

60. I was surprised I did as well as I did.

55%-and better on the guys. I thought my gaydar was much worse. here's how it works in my real life-If I get a wicked bad crush on a guy, he's prolly gay.
But I AM bad on the gals, even though a lot of my girlfriends are gay. And my best friend leaves no one guessing, although, when she had a boyfriend 30 years ago, I had no idea.:shrug: I just can't tell, until I see them with their girlfriends.

[Biased Liberal Media]

61. Well ya learn something new everyday.

I got
You personally got 14 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing girls than guys. Overall, you guessed better than 57% of all test takers.

70% was my total...I thought I'd better on guys than gals!!!

[Taverner]

62. 55% and better at guessing men than women

Which I beleive....more than once I've asked a lesbian out.

[clovis29]

64. I am sometimes the same way

[prairierose]

65. ok I guess ....

75% right better at men than women...hmmmmmmm

[KitchenWitch]

66. My gaydar with still photos sucks

I only scored 50 % and was better at picking women versus men. But in real life, I am much better!

[clovis29]

67. b4 I thought this was funny but isn't it just sad?

[KitchenWitch]

68. Ok

the woman with the "Come out come out wherever you are shirt" was a dead giveaway!

[KitchenWitch]

69. hey, the second time I took it, I scored 90%

[Az]

70. 80%

You personally got 16 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 85% of all test takers.

Huh.

[FM Arouet666]

71. Nice link, only 70%

You personally got 14 of the 20 people correct and were better at recognizing guys than girls. Overall, you guessed better than 57% of all test takers.

[donheld]

72. Ok i can bragg

I got 80% :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[Lisabtrucking]

73. I got 75%, and was better at picking out the lesbians. n/t

[JohnnyCougar]

74. 90%!!! I have gaydar, I tell ya...

I only saw one other 90% on here....let's have a playoff!! I want to be Gaydar Champion of DU!!!!

[Neshanic]

75. 80%...better at females than men. That's not good for me.

[Kurovski]

76. Who needs Gaydar?

Aren't all liberals and cartoon characters "friends of Dorothy?"

:eyes:

EDIT: I'm at 70 percent.
