I scored a 36, Level 2…

but my **real** question, is how **thinksnow** came upon this quiz…

Do you frequent [straightacting.com](http://straightacting.com)? Or maybe you mistyped straight_dope_.com one day… 😃

Life is too short to be someone you’re not, and you’ll be damned if you’re going to suppress your girlish charm for anyone.

And I’ve never even seen “Titanic” or “The Bridges of Madison County!”

Four guys got Level 1, two of us are gay. I wonder what, if any, significance that has.

Well, ok, I like bubble bath’s and I don’t care what ya think about it.

I got a 94. Somewhat feminine. I guess that means I get o join the ambiguously gay duo of Spiritus Mundi, and Dr. Matrix.

Your score is 42

LEVEL 3 – **MOSTLY** STRAIGHT ACTING

Which explains why I feel I have to sometimes suffix a statement like “I love to watch _Antiques Roadshow_” with “but I AM straight.”

I chalked up a 34. About what I would’ve guessed for myself. Amusing, or at least more so than work.

Score 25

LEVEL 2 – VERY STRAIGHT ACTING

You are incredibly butch! You are so straight your manhood has a manhood. Nancy boys need not apply. Sissies steer clear! Your lumbering swagger frightens small animals and children. Arnold Schwartznegger and Brue Willis are Fire Island cabana boys compared to you. You have no feminine side. You are THE MAN!  
GRUNT!!

Your score is 98

LEVEL 5 – SOMEWHAT FEMININE

Your Mom already knows. Smart girls in the office already know that you like to sleep with men. Your straight acting traits are few and far between as your feminine traits start to surface. You tend to be a real sensitive guy that gets along great with the female posse at work.

Ok, so I’m a straight dude, but maybe this explains why guys are always hitting on me, or thinking that I’m hitting on them.

I do cross my legs with one knee over the other, and yes I have alot of friend-girls, but c’mon I’ve never had any sexual interactions with men. What gives?

Didn’t we already have this thread before?

Without getting into how much I _loathe_ the term “straight-acting,” I’ll bite and let you know how I did:

> [@](#):

> 
> **LEVEL 7 – VERY FEMININE**
> 
> It’s kinda assumed ‘Oh, yeah he’s gay’. Your consistent behavior leads anyone you come in contact with to think that you’re more than likely a fun loving homo boy. You’re the life of the party and your hands are moving and talking as much as your mouth. You clothes are so perfect that sometimes they look fake.

Huh. Nothing there to be ashamed of - fun-loving, life of the party, perfect clothes. I don’t get what the big deal is…

Well, I don’t know what to make of this, but I’m a straight guy who scored Level 7: equal to distinguished SDMB gay-boys **Esprix** and **matt\_mcl**.

Okay, now for the backpedaling:

My eyebrows grow together if I don’t pluck between them!

It’s hard to keep dogs in the city…that’s why I’m a cat person.

As for the Nair…doesn’t everyone experiment when they’re young?

I always thought he was more femine than that. I guess it is who you hang around. With my male friends, Chris is more on the femine side. But that’s what makes him great to be with.

LEVEL 6 – MOSTLY FEMININE

People are starting to place bets that you are gay. You do a lot of things and have a lot of  
behaviors that are the stereotypical gay feminine traits. You enjoy exploring your  
feminine side. Most people just assume you are gay, and go on with it, which is just fine  
with you."
