Get Smart! Learn How to Tell if Your Guys Straight or Gay ...

Here’s a 'gaily' (pun intended) interesting article from AOL Personals about how to tell if someone's gay or not.

There's this study conducted by researchers NYU, UCLA **and **Texas **where they found out that **subtle cues are easier to detect in gay men than in lesbians.

…gay men had hourglass figures, while the lesbians had more tubular bodies. In addition, the gay men tended to sway their hips, while the lesbian women swaggered their shoulders more than their straight counterparts.

So what are the other signs to watch out for to check if he's gay or not? Here's a few, just for laughs:

1. He Cares about Your **hair **more than You do

2. He criticizes your choice in shoes

4. He always tries to catch the eye of the cutest guy in the room

Uhhmm… I really can't add more to the list but I do love "**Will & Grace**" – I guess if you find out that a potential bf's gay, you can just turn him into your** BFF**, lol.

    I use to date this guy for a couple months before he broke up with me. I am still not over him and have a hard time moving on because he is constantly on my hall, since his friends are my hall mates. But my mom and I were talking last night about the fact that he may be gay. He always hangs around with girls. He may have a couple guy friends, but rarely does he talk or hang out with them alone. This is why he is always in my hall because he is always with girls all the time. And he is a genuine caring guy, so he is not trying to hang out with girls just so he can get a gf. He also likes watching Disney movies and singing along to the songs (which is more than me). And he says that he is homophobic and will never watch Brokeback Mountain. I was wondering if he is trying to cover up the fact that he potentially gay? And that he was dating me either as a cover up or because he is still unsure of his sexuality. I also know that his mother and grandparents were very excited that he had a gf when he mentioned me to him. I was his first serious gf, but I sort of wondering if he is potentially gay. What do you think? Thanks

    Hi there, I think my guy friend is gay. Well I've known for him about 6 months and I really want to go out with him. Yet he talks in a soft voice but flirts with me like crazy...my parents say he's gay and I shouldn't waste my time with him. He likes to Cosplay as much as I do, he talks about gay stuff( he jokes about it), and likes to go shopping , etc. But, he will try to hold my hand or hint a relationship here and there or he'll try to poke me or play around with me. I don't get it , maybe its just me being paranoid, a guy has never been this close to me before. When we talk he'll answer my question with a question or with a joke, and there will be times he stares into space when I talk to him and he looks at everything else. Like today I was talking to him at the mall and he was just watching this guy walk by, he wasn't necessarily checking the guy out but just staring...it freaked me out. (not that I'm a homophobe which I'm not) I ask him many times if he's gay and he tells me he isn't and gets mad at me for even bring it up. He also talks about kids, not having them but adopting them. I don't know if that's a hint that he might be gay. :( I don't know if I am being tedious about him being gay because I like him or because my parents say he is and they've convinced me to thinking that...I really need help I want say that he's gay so my parents can leave me alone. And I'm hoping he's not....

    hi. i really need your advice.. I have a boyfriend, who was a former flight attendant.. we met in school, everyone says he's gay/bisexual because of the way he acts and moves.he is not a regular "tough" guy, because he's feminine on some other ways, but not on the physical. i love him so much but i'm afraid that he might be really gay and i'm scared that we may end up together but what if he still see other guys? that would really break my heart. honestly i still don't know if he is bisexual/gay but when i see his pictures in face book all of his friends in the airline he used to work are all gay and women.. i even read an email from his former classmate back in college, asking him if he still remember him, the boy said they watched a movie and he even gave my boyfriend a chocolate cake.(i think that's not normal for a regular man) also, he is not aggressive, he don't kiss me at all, all or kisses are smack kisses.. sigh.(our relationship is only new though.. 5 months) on the other hand he is such a really nice guy,literally, he would help everyone and he is very friendly. when i'm with him i can feel he is not a guy but i'm still confuse because of his feminine side and the email i read and his friends.. i dont want to ask him because im afraid he might get offended. i really love him, what should i do? please help me. thank you!

    I need some help here. I've been dating a guy for about three months now and our relationship has been perfect. He told me that he's in love with me and we've talked about moving in together. He's talked before about how he wants to get married and have kids. Both of our past relationships ended around the same time, so it was like we found each other at the perfect time. Anyways, when I first met him, he introduced himself and has sort of a high voice, so I wondered if he was gay. He has had previous girlfriends and says he was in love with his most recent ex girlfriend and that he was absolutely devastated when she broke up with him. He has had many sexual partners, all female. He said that after his ex girlfriend broke up with him, he didn't care if he broke girls hearts, he just wanted to play the game. He and his friends joke about being gay all the time, and sometimes will even say he is gay, although it always seems like he is joking. Sometimes he even calls me gay as a joke. There aren't any other signs that would make me think that he might be gay besides his sort-of high voice and always joking around with his guy friends about being gay. He cares about his body and loves to work out to make himself look good, but doesn't dress in a way that would come off as gay: usually a t-shirt and jeans. He doesn't primp excessively or gel his hair up or anything like that. We have great sex, he does things to me without me having to ask him to and always tells me how much he loves me and is super romantic. But I just can't help but wonder, because he jokes about it with his friends so much, if he actually could be gay. Is there anything I should be worried about, or am I just being neurotic?
