    ...I know what you mean about sensing kids' future orientation. My sister is a teacher and gets that different vibe from a few students. One day she asked the 6-7 year-olds to call out words beginning with "G". After some kids had listed Ghost, Golf club, Giraffe, etc. one little boy suggested (in a precious voice) "The Gap?"

    Stereotype alert! Not all gay males are effeminate, if that is what is being implied with "The Gap" example. Not all "fashion-conscious" males are gay. Who knows? Maybe this little kid's mom just took him to The Gap yesterday so it's fresh in his mind. That's not a very good example of "gayness" in a child, in my opinion. I'd wait to see before making any snap judgments. Let the kid figure it out himself before you start labeling, ya know?

    If there's a gaydar, I don't have it.

    I can tell that a woman might be gay or bi, if when I flirt with her she flirts back. And if I suspect it, I tend to flirt. It just happens. If I think they are straight I don't flirt. It's a whole different situation.

    Unless someone flat out tells me that they are homosexual, I don't have a clue. But that's probably because I don't really care who's sleeping with who as long as it's with a consenting adult who is not my husband.

    My gaydar was going off when I met my last boyfriend. Skinny, awkward, liked drawing and cooking...but his personality won me over and let me tell you, he was as straight as an arrow! When my cousin met him, his gaydar was going off too. Yup.

    I've never noticed women flirting with me, except for at a gay club. There were some real cuties there-pretty much impossible not to flirt back!

    Sexual orientation is a funny thing -- I've had sex with men who said they were gay and women who said they were straight. There are usually fun things to discover if your don't pigeon hole yourself or others.

    I THOUGHT I had good gaydar.

    I have a group of gay male friends.

    But

    I was proven wrong when my boyfriend of 2 years was posting ads and talking to men online


    :noway:


    That ended rather quickly. ( The relationship)
