I think I got screwed based on that whole stuffed animal thing. ---

On looking it up, I discovered that I killed that thread. Sorry, Sqrl.🙂 This time, I scored a 58, which is a Level 3- MOSTLY STRAIGHT ACTING. So apparently, I’m nine points more butch than I was last July. I am powerless to explain this. ---

I scored a 94 as well. Slightly feminine. So…how YOU doin’? Anyway, I got bored and clicked all the options. It gave me a score of 310. No explanation or level though. My guess is the computer was too dazed to determine just how gay I truly was. I’m thinking it wanted to say “Your mother is confused because you look exactly like her. You speak in so high an octave, only dogs can hear you. You’ve force shrunk your Adam’s apple into non-existence. Your male co-workers avoid you lest you jump over your cubicle and start dry humping their leg in a fit of mad passion.” ---

Did this one a while ago. I think I got a three then.I got a three this time too. But, i think I probably float between three and two, actually. ---

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. > > Esprix \*\* Huh. I got exactly the same score as Esprix, except that I’m not a fun-loving homo boy, I’m a fun-loving straight chick. 😃 So…evidently, I also rock. ---

I retook the quiz, using the following values: 1A 2A 3A 4AC 5ABCDE 6ABCDE 7CDEGH 8CEF 9AD 10BCDG 11A 12H 13ACDEFG 14BC 15ABCDFGH 16ABCDF 17BDFG 18AC 19ABCDE 20ABD 21DE 22BDE 23E 24AD 25B "Your score is 286 LEVEL 10 – QUEEN STATUS There is no more feminine than you. You’re simply a woman trapped in a mans body. You’ve made the calls about getting ‘the operation’ and you go to sleep every night thinking how easier it would be to be a woman instead. Over 50% of your clothes in your closet are designed for women, and life just gets better and better the more level 10 people you hang out with." I wonder if a score higher than 286 is possible. ---

> [@](#): > > Your score is 60 > > LEVEL 3 – MOSTLY STRAIGHT ACTING > > You lead a normal everyday life and it’s ‘no questions asked’ as people just assume you are straight. Every once and awhile a very aware person might notice something that causes them to think ‘fem’ but it’s a fleeting thought because you turn around and surprise them with more masculine traits before they even have time to fully analyze the last one. ---

your score is \*\* 16 \*\* LEVEL 1 – EXTREMELY STRAIGHT ACTING No one would expect you as being gay because your actions never show even a hint of femininity. You carry yourself in a macho, masculine manner at all times. You’re hung up on ‘guy things’ and if you dance at a club your feet and hands barely move. Your idea of a good time is probably watching WCW wrestling. that’s about right; except I LOVE to breakdance, and I hate WCW Wrestling… ---

Mr. Scarlett is a fun-loving homo boy . . perhaps we need to have a talk. 😃 Nah. He hates to dance, and if it weren’t for me his wardrobe would be a sartorial train wreck. ---

I took this test a few weeks back - someone posted the link on the AOL Utopia mailing list, and I did it just for a laugh. Level 2 for me, which sounds about right. Gay guys have no problem guessing I’m in the same boat as they are, whereas straight people work it out for themselves only if I let something slip. Must admit I’m not too keen on the term “straight acting”, as it’s not an act as far as I’m concerned - it’s just my natural behaviour. Even so, the test gave me and my friends a giggle, and we just enjoyed it for the bit of fun it was intended for. ---

FTR, I’m straight, but here’s mine: Your score is 54 LEVEL 3 – MOSTLY STRAIGHT ACTING **Mostly** huh? Maybe that would explain why my Uncle Marty (who was gay) once thought I might be gay. Luckily my mom stepped up defend me. She said there’s no way I’m gay, although I might be bi. Thanks mom. No wonder I’m in therapy. BTW - The only reason I saw _Titanic_ a second time was because of that thread **Jack Batty** started. ---

Don’t take my post the wrong way, **Esprix**. I didn’t mean it like that. I typed it out in a hurry and apparently made some bad wording choices. I was just reminded of the time my mom denied my being homosexual with the argument that I might be bisexual, which struck me as funny. If you knew me, you’d know I didn’t mean to treat homosexuality as if it were something to be ashamed of. Not everyone is out to belittle your lifestyle. Instead of posting a reply rolling your eyes at something I said, how about asking me about it first? My email is available. ---

BTW - the therapy line was meant as a joke also. Sheesh - you guy gays can be so sensitive. (kidding! kidding! another joke, I’m playing with you! I’m a kidder, I kid. Hey **Esprix** , if you makes you feel any better I did name you as one of the cutest posters on the People Pages when we had that thread going in IMHO a while back. Does that help you not be mad at me?) ---

Level 7: very feminine. That’s cool, 'cause I _am_ feminine, just not girly [an adjective I don’t particularly find complimentary when applied to women]. To me, girly has this flavor of being frail and waifish… someone who goes to college only to get her M.R.S. I think it was having neither floral printed everything nor incense that saved my score 😃 ---
