10% Gay! You’re a walking, talking, red blooded hetero guy. Just way too straight for these modern times mate! ---

> [@clairobscur](#): > > I know. Online tests are genrally nonsentical. I just think this one is spectacularily so. Yes, even for a joke this one was dumber than most. If you’re going to use silly stereotypes, it would be more fun to go all out. The “How Gay Is Your Pet?” is perhaps even more stupid. All questions were completely irrelvent to anyone who has an indoor-only or neutred pet. I’m pretty sure Fatcat is at least 43% gay, but he can’t take the test because the questions are all “not applicable”. ---

> [@clairobscur](#): > > 33%. While I’m probably more like 3% so. > The questions were essentially all completely irrelevant, of course. Apparently being gay is all about being worried about one’s look and secondarily liking flowers and redecorating flats. Silly me! I thought it was about being attracted to other men. > > I know. Online tests are genrally nonsentical. I just think this one is spectacularily so. Agreed. Now, IF there’d been any questions about Broadway show tunes, I might’ve DESERVED my 26%- but as it is, I still haven’t figured out how I got anything but a zero. The approach seems to be: 1. “Do you like having a penis in your mouth?” Uh, no. 2. “Do you fantasize about naked men?” Er… nope. 3. “Do you like Bette Midler?” Nah. 4. “Would you rather meet your favorite football player or be your favorite football player?” Uh… I dunno, meet him? BUSTED!!! 25% gay!!! ---

43% gay. I’m a happy and well-adjusted hetero babe, apparently. Nice. 🙂 ---

This is weird: I took the test as a straight man – which I am – and got %30 gay, (seems about right for a throwaway fun quiz.) Then I took it as a _straight woman_, answering as if I were me, but happened to be a straight woman. I scored %43 gay 😕 : I’m a well-adjusted hetero babe! I guess it’s true what I’ve always suspected, that i’m neuter 🙂 ---

Odd. I’m 43% gay according to them, which makes me well-adjusted as both a hetero woman or a bi woman (I took it twice). ---

> [@astorian](#): > > 1. “Would you rather meet your favorite football player or be your favorite football player?” Uh… I dunno, meet him? > > BUSTED!!! 25% gay!!! I think their assumption there is that meeting him leads to blowing him. Being him, however, just means you’re a good football player, which isn’t particularly gay. ---

43% here. Why do I feel disappointed, being a straight white suburban chick? :dubious: ---

**60% gay!** “Congratulations! You’ve scored right in the middle and are a happy well-adjusted hetero babe!” 🙂 I had no idea I was so gay (or really gay at all). Nifty! ---

I’m a “walking, talking, red blooded hetero guy. Just way too straight for these modern times” Anyone who feels cheated because they aren’t gay enough can have my 20%. ---

_ **HARMLESS IS 66% GAY!** _ Hhhmm…maybe my mother was right after all. :dubious: I wonder how my husband will take the news. 😃 I did tell him a few weeks ago that I didn’t mind if we got a live-in lover, as long as she’d be willing to clean the bathroom. 😉 ---

Hubby, the only true hetro of the three of us is also the gayest at 60% gay. ---

I’m confused. I got a 50%, but apparently that means I am a happy and well-adjusted hetero babe. Wouldn’t that make me bi? (I’m not, but the test says I’m right in the middle! And everything I know I learned from internet quizzes!) I dun get it. ---

Only 40%. I got a less-conventionally-guyish score on the transsexual test we did last week. No questions this time on whether or not I get off on tampons though. ---

Only 30% gay. I bet it’s because I don’t watch lesbian porn. ---

OK, a few moment’s experimentaton yields that changing your sexual orientation on the first page doesn’t have any effect on the answers or how they’re scored. Changing your gender does have an effect: you get a different set of questions (with some overlap). ---
