How To Tell If Someone Is Gay
Have you ever wondered if someone you know is gay? Before you ask him, check him against these signs he’s gay, and see how he scores.
- He´s Views
- Most straight guys cannot understand gays. While this does not mean they are homophobic, they just cannot understand why a man would choose other men over girls. If he regularly talks about how gay men had a hard fight and should be accepted, or quotes gay guys or Oprah, he might be trying to justify his sexuality.
- He´s Gaming
- Gay men will often pick a female character in a game, or choose a very hunky dude. The reason for this is unknown, but it is psychologically proven to be true. A study shows that gay´s almost always chose to play as Storm, while straight dudes chose from a range of men. So watch his gaming habits and see what character he picks as his avatar.
- Bathroom Rituals
- This is often true! Watch how meticulous he is with his grooming, and see what items he owns. While it’s good that he makes an effort, if he takes long time to get ready he’s taken it a bit far! If he’s got more products than most girls and a huge shoe collection, that’s a big hint.
- He´s Idols
- Gay guys often idolize people who have elaborate, over the top lifestyles. It is very hard to find a gay guy who does not like Cher, Whitney Houston and Paul O’Grady! If he loves divas, or watching famous “out” men such as Graham Norton, he could be gay.
- He´s Favorite TV shows
- This is a stereotype that´s always proven true. Gay´s often love watching stereotypical “female” programmes, such as beauty pageants, that reinforce the importance of beauty and glamour. Gay´s also love over the top makeover shows, and big award shows such as the Grammys or Eurovision.
- He´s Eyes
- Who does he look at when he´s at the club or gym? Do his eyes jump from man to man, does he focus on sexy men or does he not look at anyone at all? Like it or not, men have wandering eyes but a straight dude will look at sexy girls, even subconsciously. If he makes more eye contact with men, he is probably more interested in them.
- He´s Washroom Habits
- Gay´s who haven’t yet “come out” often feel uncomfortable in public bathrooms, and either do not go or use the toilet rather than the urinals. If he refuses to go to the toilet in public and instead wants to go hom, it might hint to him not being comfortable in his sexual identity. Remember this is not always true, because some people are really only comfortable using their own toilet.
- Compliments
- Listen for the way he compliments girls. Does he tell them they look beautiful, or tell them their jacket goes great with those skinny jeans and they should finish the look with diamond boots and pink nail varnish? Gay guys are often very fashionable, so see how clued up he is.
- He´s Profile
- Is his Facebook full of men he does not know? Does he have a secret Facebook or Instagram profile? Social networking sites are often the place men “still in the closet” let themselves go a little, and be themselves. So they can offer big hints as to what he is really like! It is an even bigger hint if his new friends have particularly revealing or sexy pictures.
- He Hates Gay´s
- He might display an over the top rage at gay men. This is a classic reaction to prevent people from guessing he likes men. As the homage goes, the greatest homophobe is the gay! It is worth bearing in mind that some men actually cannot stand gays, however, and it is not always a sign of trouble.
