I do that, and I’m not gay.
(Except for the leaning-towards-you part, since I’ve never, AFAIK, met you. 
)
Guinastasia – not to give TMI, but we use our hands a lot. stolichnaya has it right about “other art forms.”
Girlfriends Magazine did a survey asking what clues you in about a woman who’s a lesbian – short fingernails was #1.
Okay, I’m going to reveal one of our most guarded secrets…
Gay people actually have sonar. This is why we squeal. Our ultra sonic emanations bounce off all the people in our surroundings and tells us who is gay and who is just “bi-curious.”
I just know the gay mafia is gonna put me in cement pumps and dump me off Key West for this.
(Sigh). Married a woman. Turns out she’s a lesbian. Fast forward a bit, and see that my first hint that I was being hit on by a guy was when he told me “I find you very attractive”. We were in his hotel room at the time. My gaydar apparently uses tachyons as it’s only effective backwards through time.
I guess I’d have to answer the thread title question with “Very poorly”.
Dear pencilpusher, if all you are pushing is a pencil, it is no wonder you are as close to being a lesbian as you can get.
I am openly Gay and people at work have met my lover. Despite that, I once overheard two co-workers talk about me:
“Do you really think he is Gay?”
“Well, he brought his lover to the last party.”
“Still…”
“I donno.”
I was in total shock. Short of a photo with a dick in my mouth, what do these people expect?
I think I have pretty good “Gardar”.
All you have to do is watch what they are looking at. I have often seen three guys out together at a bar. Hot woman walks by with huge breasts and tight skirt. Two out of the three guys watch her walk through the room…it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the story of guy three.
I have also seen guys who are very feminine who I knew were NOT at all Gay.
The biggest trick is to figure out if they are interested in you. When I was single, people would constantly say, “that guy was majorly cruising you” and I really didn’t notice.
I think the trick is, you have to be looking, and they have to be looking and then there is chemistry in the air. At that point, I could find the one Gay guy in Shea stadium.
Gay Maifa? I bet you could make some interesting jokes out of that.
Too bad I can’t think of any right now,
That’s my boyfriend. He’s extremely feminine. We’ll be at the store or something together and the clerk will ask “Can I help you ladies?” He’s startled people by talking. (They assume female and when they hear his deep voice, they do a double take.)
Because of this, people assume that he’s gay. When he first introduced me to his friends from his dorm, they all went “girlfriend?!?”
He’s also made countless straight guys bisexual. 
He has no gaydar what so ever. He says it must have gotten broken after working in gay centers so long.
I, on the other hand, can usually tell if someone’s gay. I tend to view people as mostly bisexual, but I can usually tell which side of the scale they tend to swing to. Even the most feminine of men.
I have no idea how I can tell though.
So, does this mean I should let my fingernails grow?
Cuz like, my nails are really weak. It’s not fair.
