In the show “Lie to Me” there was an episode where it was relevant that someone was gay, and they knew he was gay because of the structure of his facial musculature.
Is there some truth to this? Is this part of the subtle cues in gaydar?
like this one?
Well, it’s recommended that babies not suck their thumbs (or use pacifiers) for too long, because it can (allegedly) cause facial structure problems. Sometimes when I see some gay men, it looks obvious (to me) that they’re gay, because there’s something about their faces that looks like they’re deformed from sucking, uh, pacifiers a hell of a lot. Now obviously there are gay men that don’t look this way, there are straight men that look this way, and I’ve not yet seen a women with the facial characteristics that I’m thinking about, although presumably they would be so effected if it were true. All I’m saying is, some dudes simply look like suckers.
But they could be born that way. I heard there’s one born every minute.
Wow. You’re brave. I wouldn’t be calling any 300-lb Maori gay!
It typically means a “pretty” young man with fine features. Masculine but bordering on effeminate with large eyes and sensuous mouth. Typical boy band and teen idol type faces. Human anime faces.
Really weird that you would ask this, as I was contemplating this very thing yesterday… it was triggered by an interview with Pastor Ted Haggard. There was something about his face that I have seen in other homosexual’s faces, don’t know what it was exactly and it was by no means scientific, but it made me wonder.
As a big homo, I feel confident in stating that I look at men’s lips when determining gayness. At a certain age, some gay men start to get “gay lips”. I can’t describe it, but it has to do with the coloring. So add one check to the “anecdote” column under “data”.
I got exactly 50%… does that mean I have gaydar or not? I don’t really have a use for it if I do.
I hate these kinds of tests. They always try to trick people. The race ones are especially bad… I saw one once where every single person was multi-racial. Anvilicious.
I have a lesbian friend who swears she can tell if a man is gay virtually 100% of the time. I showed her a family picture of my cousin and his 9 siblings. She picked him out without hesitation.
Be careful…you could be forced to kneel before the middle one…
Heh, my hair whorls counter-clockwise I think.
With a face like that, there’s no way he’s straight… but then again, my gay friend said he doesn’t believe this particular celeb is gay, simply because he doesn’t want him to be…
I scored exactly 50%.
