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

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

  • Honestly, everyone is unique, so there's no surefire way. It's best to communicate openly with the person and respect their privacy. Stereotypes aren't reliable.

  • If a guy is exploring or questioning, he might show interest in conversations about sexuality. But remember, it's their journey, so be patient and supportive.

  • Talk to him! Open, non-judgmental communication is key. Let him know it's a safe space to share his feelings.

  • Absolutely. Interests like fashion, cooking, or even wearing colorful clothes (like a cardigan!) don't define someone's sexuality. Everyone should feel free to be themselves.

  • Just be genuine and respectful. Maybe start with something like, 'I've been wondering about a few things about us, mind if we chat?' And remember, it's okay if it feels a bit awkward at first.

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.

Dear Alicia, I think if the guy says he is gay, it's either: a. He truly is gay b. Or he wants the girl to think he is gay (not to hurt her feelings etc.) In either way, it's better to find another guy who is 100% straight :)

Seriously? Okay Im not talking about the comments before me, but about that supposed study at the top of the page? I really hope that no one actually believes that shit, and girls- if you think your man is gay, then number 1- understand that he's in a way more difficult place than you are, so while it may be painful to let go, try to be supportive. And 2- He's got a whole whack of crap going on in his life and probably thinks he's all alone and that the world is going to reject him. (Just remember, in most cases- he's actually right on that score) If you love him now, then that shouldn't change because he's gay. He's not lying to hurt you, he's doing it to protect himself from the hurt of no one being there for him.

Please don't judge me for my age. I just thought that feminine features link to feminine hormones. Do you think that's true?

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....

thanks sheila for your reply.. i appreciate it,thanks! =) yes he told me he had a 4yrs relationship with a girl and others were just flings. i even confirmed it with his sister.. yes it also bothers me why he is not aggresive. he is already 32 years old and im confuse why he acts that way, though he is really busy with his work,but i think thats not an excuse not to kiss me right? i even heard with his friends that my bf had sexual relations with lots of girl before, especially with his former work as a flight attendant, but this is so inconsistent with his actions with me, but i dont want to initiate the kissing.. umm are you sure its ok he has lots of gay fiends whom he always keep in touch with? im afraid that maybe he is just repressing his gayness and perhaps he might just use me in the future as his front,but i do love him so much..

hi sheila, this is victoria.. i asked an advice from you few weeks ago. i've got a news, its confirmed, he is bisexual. i opened his facebook without him knowing it ofcourse, i saw several messages from gays from the past, he also had a relationship with a gay. i confronted him yesterday, he told me that it was already his past and that he loves me. i told him that i love him so much that i will accept it but i am afraid in the future. i am confuse, i love him soo much, but im scared he might be tempted again and still have an affair with gays. i saw one of those who left a message to him, one was already with a wife and another with a gf, though my bf's reply to them were just pure civil and without any flirt or whatsoever. still im so afraid, can you give some advice please. its possible he might get tempted even if he loves me right? what should i do?
