10 Signs He's Gay ...

Have you ever wondered if your other half is gay? Well, most of us would probably answer “no,” but for those who have, it’s a horrible dilemma. Do you risk it all and ask him, or keep quiet and try and forget about it? While honesty is the best policy, and if you have serious concerns you should definitely confront him, but before you ask him, check him against these top ten signs he’s gay, and see how he scores...

Bathroom Rituals...

While it might be stereotypical, it’s often true! Watch how meticulous he is with his grooming, and see what products he owns. While it’s good that he makes an effort, if he takes two hours to get ready he’s taken it a bit far! If he’s got more products than you and a huger shoe collection, that’s a big hint too!

UPD:

It's all in his styling choices! Obsessing over the latest fashion trends might be his thing—if his magazines are brimming with runway shows rather than sports recaps, take note. And it's one thing to be tidy, but if he's ironing his jeans and aligning his shirts by color in the closet, he's showing a level of meticulousness that's worth pondering. Let's not forget, an absolute tell-tale sign is his reaction to your outfits—sarcastic remarks might just be playful banter, but if he's providing fashion advice with the expertise of a seasoned stylist... it's an eyebrow-raiser for sure!

His Idols...

Gay men often idolize people who have elaborate, over the top lifestyles. I’ve never met a gay man who hasn’t loved Cher, Whitney Houston and Paul O’Grady! If your man loves divas, or watching famous “out” men such as Graham Norton, he might be gay.

His Favorite TV Shows

Again, this is a stereotype that’s always proven true for me! Gay men often love watching stereotypical “female” programmes, such as beauty pageants, that reinforce the importance of beauty and glamour. He might also love over the top makeover shows, and big award shows such as the Grammys.

UPD:

Absolutely, Project Runway and RuPaul's Drag Race are practically staples! The drama, the fashion, the flair—it's all there and often beloved. Don't forget the sitcoms with strong LGBTQ+ characters or unapologetically gay icons. Shows like Will & Grace and Queer Eye provide not only entertainment but also a sense of identity and community. It's about the love for narratives that embrace diversity and vibrant characters who are unafraid to be themselves. And it's not just about the content; it’s the camaraderie when watching with friends that really seals the deal.

His Eyes...

Who does he look at when you are out? Do his eyes jump from man to man, does he focus on hot men or does he not look at anyone at all? Like it or not, men have wandering eyes but a straight man will look at other women, even subconsciously. If he makes more eye contact with men, he’s probably more interested in them...

UPD:

In addition to his eyes, there are other signs that may indicate a man is gay. For example, his body language may be more expressive when around men than women. He may also have a more flamboyant style of dress, or a preference for colors and patterns that are traditionally associated with gay culture. He may also prefer activities that are traditionally associated with gay culture, such as going to gay bars, attending LGBT pride parades, and participating in LGBT-related events.

Another sign that a man may be gay is if he has a lot of gay friends or if he talks often about his gay friends. He may also seem to be more comfortable talking about gay issues than about straight issues. Additionally, he may have a more open attitude toward gay people than other people his age.

Of course, none of these signs necessarily mean that a man is gay. However, if you are concerned that a man may be gay, it is important to pay attention to his behavior and the way he interacts with others. It is also important to remember that being gay is not something to be ashamed of or to hide. If you are concerned about a man's sexuality, it is important to talk to him about it in a respectful and understanding way.

His Toilet Habits...

Gay men who haven’t yet “come out” often feel uncomfortable in public toilets, and either don’t go or use the toilet rather than the urinals. If he refuses to go to the toilet in public and instead wants to go home, it might hint to him not being comfortable in his sexuality. Remember, though, that some people are really only comfortable using their own toilet.

UPD:

The article is discussing potential signs that someone might be gay. One of the signs discussed is his toilet habits. It is suggested that gay men who have not yet come out might feel uncomfortable in public toilets and avoid using them. This could be an indication of discomfort with their sexuality. However, it is important to remember that some people just feel more comfortable using their own toilet. It is important to be aware of the signs of someone being uncomfortable with their sexuality, but it is also important to not jump to conclusions.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

His View...

Most straight men cannot understand gays. While this doesn’t mean they are homophobic, they just cannot understand why a man would choose other men over women. If your boyfriend regularly talks about how gay men had a hard fight and should be accepted, or quotes gay men or Oprah, he might be trying to justify his sexuality.

His Gaming...

Gay men will often pick a female character in a game, or choose a very hunky man. The reason for this is unknown, but it is psychologically proven to be correct! A study shows that gay men almost always chose to play as Storm, while straight men chose from a range of men. So watch his gaming habits and see what charcater he picks as his avatar.

UPD:

It's fascinating to observe the choices made in character selection, with personal representation in virtual worlds sometimes being a mirror into the inner self. Whether it's the allure of a powerful female presence or the allure of a muscular male protagonist, these selections can be telling. It's all about comfort and preference when someone immerses in a gaming universe. The choice might reflect aspirations, desires, or even an ideal self-image. Just remember, gaming can be an expressive space, unbound by the strictures of the real world.

Compliments...

Listen for the way he compliments you. Does he tell you that you look beautiful, or tell you that your jacket goes great with thoseskinny jeans and you should finish the look with diamante boots and pink nail varnish? Gay men are often very fashionable, so see how clued up he is.

His Profile...

Is his MySpace full of men he doesn’t know? Does he have a secret online profile? Social networking sites are often the place men “in the closet” let themselves go a little, and be themselves. So they can offer big hints as to what he’s really like! It’s an even bigger hint if his new friends have particularly revealing or sexy pictures.

UPD:

If you're noticing that his social media accounts are peppered with likes and comments from unfamiliar guys with whom he seems to have a close connection, it might be a clue. On platforms like Instagram or Facebook, he could be following a multitude of male fashion icons, gay influencers, or LGBT-related pages. It's worth paying attention to the kinds of communities and groups he's interested in, as these digital footprints can sometimes signal his personal interests more transparently than he might do in real life.

He Hates Gays...

He might display an over the top rage at gays. This is a classic reaction to prevent people from guessing he is gay. As the homage goes, the greatest homophobe is the homosexual! It’s worth bearing in mind that some men actually cannot stand gays, however, and it isn’t always a sign of trouble.

If you still think he may be gay, it’s time to sit down and talk to him. Remember that he might be feeling confused, and that however hurt you feel, there’s a reason why you love him and you shouldn’t use his sexuality to hurt him. He won’t have been trying to hurt you, and probably honestly thought he could “change.” Be respectful, and calm, during the talk. Have you got a tip for finding out if he’s gay? Please let me know!

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

It's not a nice experience, fancying someone than being disillued because he's gay! Really that most of these persons show thie gayness but there are some too which really act normal, and most of them are soo cute to be passed unoticed! I have to comment to the Bathroom Rituals… point. Although some shows signs from this ritual others just love taking good care of themselves, which I've met men like this and certainly they are far from being gay! But thanks for this interesting post Kati, we'll sure watch out better now!! :)

I would like to add the this discussion, from the perspective of a gay man. I use gay chat internet sites to find dates, and never cease to be amazed at how many identify as married/bisexual. f we discount to ones who are simply in denial and do not have an female sexual partners in reality, I would stil estimate that 20% of all married/ostensibly straight men in relationships, are having sex with men. A few tips for women to look out for: Check his mobile phone, are there APPS for gay chat sites/ Check his pc, look at the history of sites he has used/visited. Check his phone bill.statement-are there lots of texts shown/ Looks at texts on his phone, are there lots from men? Is he working away a lot? I feel terribly sorry for anyone cheated by a partner, when it is a woman who is sysyematically being cheated on and put at risk that is even worse.

Hi...I would also like to add that he would often "jokingly" play around with female studs; pretending to want to have sex with them and say sexual things to them. One day his friends girlfriend told me that she over heard my ex BF say to her boyfriend that he wanted to bang the bleep bleep out of his friend, who is a stud. Well the stud has a girlfriend who is very feminine and pretty. So, my ex bf's friend corrected him by asking if he meant he wanted to bang the girlfriend. He said no I want to bang (the stud). Weird. I would also like to add that during sex, he often seemed someplace else. He rarely made eye contact with me. I hope I haven't offended anyone and please remember that I am only sharing my experience with a man whom I speculated was gay and finding evidence that he was responding to men on Craig's list and possibly meeting up with them. No greater proof than that.

So, I'm in high school an I've liked this guy for a while now and 3 people that went to school with him before I moved to the high school I'm in now have said that he's gay. That he actually told them. Some might say I should just ask, but I just can't seem to bring myself to it. Any tips!?

This list is a confusing mess of paranoid stereotypes and just oddness. 1. I'm pretty sure the whole term "metrosexual" came out specifically due to men like this. 2. Clearly, straight men are scared of gay men celebrities. *rolls eyes* 3. I generally worry about anyone who watches "female" programming (including women) so I'm unable to comment. 4. I think this one might be the only thing on the list that makes sense. If he's lusting at men, he might be at least bi. However, that's the thing. He might be bi. Bisexuals do exist and I resent the idea that one is either straight or gay, with no other options. 5. I know a lot of women like this. 6. Now this is just insulting. Men who care about gay rights are clearly gay? Maybe they have gay friends who they have seen have troubles or maybe they're just actually compassionate human beings. 7. Gamers often like to experience the game from a different character than usual. And some guys pick female avatars in games because other players give them more or because they have to stare at their character's asses for hours at a time... 8. *facepalm* Are we living in a word of stereotypes here? 9. That might actually make sense in some odd way. 10. Even if that's not a sign he's gay, that is a sign he may be a jerk. Dating homophobes should never be done.
