60% but I got “You’re very open-minded between the sheets and just as balanced when out on the streets.” Other 60% er’s got “Your right in the middle, yada yada” What’s up with that? And why does thinking that young Elvis was beautiful make me more or less gay? And which one is it? Yes, lots of very stupid questions, forced to make not quite true answers, because the truth was not an option. ---

13% gay. A walking, talking, red blooded hetero guy. Just way too straight for these modern times mate. I don’t think it’s that I’m incredibly straight, just lazy. A lot of the mens questions seemed to orient around how fussy about your appearance you are. Guess this is one less thing for my fiancee to worry about. 😛 ---

53% Congratulations! You’ve scored right in the middle and are a happy and well adjusted hetero man. Once again I come out as a centrist. ---

10% - About the same as last time I took the test. Go figure. Anyway, it claims I’m too straight for our times. How is _that_ possible…? 😕 😉 😛 ---

46%. I have to say that it _does_ seem to equate kinky with gay, which ain’t _necessarily_ so. ---

“Miller is 40% gay. You’re open minded between the sheets, but hide your gay side when out on the streets.” Scarily accurate, actually. ---

Kat is 60% gay. Congratulations! You’ve scored right in the middle and are a happy and well adjusted hetero babe! Well, first off, I’ll be the first to admit that I am _faaaaaaaaar_ from a well-adjusted _anything_, but…doesn’t being “60% gay” signify that I should be somewhere between bisexual and lesbian? 😕 ---

56% “You’re very open minded between the sheets and just as balanced when out on the streets.” Too true! Even though I’m actually, like, totaly straight. ---

43 per cent and I am a well adjusted hetero man. I guess that 43 per cent reflects my metrosexual side. ---

I think the scale that is being used here is 0-10% on the straightest extreme, and 90-100% on the gayest extreme, so those of us scoring in the middle are well adjusted. Make more sense that way? It’s still a superficial little test, of course, but I’m sure the point was to have fun. ---

First I told it I was a girl (as per my sig) and it gave me a 63%. Then I told it I was a guy, it gave me 30%, and told me to loosen up. :dubious: At least it’s consistent. 😃 ---

23% gay. Is it because I get my hair cut really short? ---
