I’m 31% gay, I thought it was going to be much higher.

“Frank, we need to talk. NOW.”

You are 47% GAY!

That’s gayer than average for someone of your gender and supposed orientation. The typical straight guy is only 31% gay!  
I honestly thought I would score higher. Frankly, I[m disappointed.

I am 60% Gay!

Percent females gayer than me: 1  
Percent females less gay than me: 98

It must have been the bandsaw. Or maybe that dancefloor grinding incident. 😛

…but I was. 34% - 26% are gayer, 4% as gay and 68% less gay. Gayer than the average straight guy.

I actually thought that it would be higher before I took it, but as I answered the questions I realised there weren’t many gay-making answers in there. Or something.

A bit disappointed.

**Superdude** is 25% gay. Which means that either one arm or one leg is and two fingers and toes (combined) are.

I’m 55% gay.  
Maybe that explains why I can’t seem to maintain a relationship with a guy. Funny, I didn’t think I was a lesbian.

38 percent gay here.

Apparently only 14 percent of people are gayer than I am, which I find VERY hard to believe. Where ARE all of these raving queens?

I am 24% gay, which is lower than average.

It is not a surprise to me that I am lower than average, but it is a surprise that I am almost a quarter gay. I sleep about 6 hours a day - maybe I’m gay whilst I’m asleep…

It is a huge surprise that the average guy is almost a third gay…

Mind you, the fact that Esprix is only 71% gay makes me doubt the whole thing anyway! 🙂

I gotta tell ya, Ig, using words like “whilst” will raise your relative gayness.

I’m 27% gay. Which I guess is better than nothing. Until recently, I was so down in the dumps, I thought I was asexual (poor **imthjckaz** ). But I’m feeling much better now.

Interesting test, and kinda fun.

Sorry, I didn’t realize I was resurrecting an old thread. I had a search on a particular poster going at the same time as a “view new posts” search. [/hijack]

Don’t be sorry, I must have missed this one. I liked the test,and all the others.  
Oh yeah - 35% gay, a bit more than average. What the hell.

24% gay. Hmmm. I don’t consider myself that much less gay than the average straight man. Maybe its cuz I have a bandsaw…

25% for me…less than the average straight female.
