Researchers Prove Gaydar Exists, Kind Of Works

gaydar guys Here's a startling piece of news: gay guys are more anal.

Okay, the real phrase most news outlets are using here is "detail-oriented."

When Dutch scientists examined how heterosexual and homosexual people focus their attention, they discovered gays are much more detail-oriented.

This suggests they are able to hone in on even very small details as well as the bigger picture, according to the research, which appeared in the journal Frontiers in Cognition. In gays' daily routine, researchers believe, this close attention to detail could help them to detect others' sexual preferences.

"This is the first time that scientific proof has been found for the existence of a gaydar mechanism amongst homosexuals," researcher Dr. Lorenza Colzato of Leiden University in the Netherlandstold the Daily Mail. "This perceptual skill allows homosexuals to recognize other gay people faster and we think it's because they are much more analytic than heterosexuals."

There you have it: once again, proof that most gay people are more intelligent and enlightened than straights. And, you know, should suffer through marriage like the rest of us.

As a perpetually unorganized person, I guess this makes me straight? ...I'm going to need to make a lot of phone calls today.

Even though I am straight my gaydar is really good. I figured out my roommate was gay, because his dick tastes like ass.

Does this mean I can blame my poor GRE score on my straightness?

Uh, thanks, clomb... although I'm straight and I have to agree that I have very good gaydar. Maybe I'm just too meticulous.

I think everyone's missing the point of this piece. Science has proven that gay men are superior to straight men.

Thank you, Dan. I gave the gays a chance to brag and no one was taking it.

brianfairbanks commented on Jun 02 10 at 11:29 am

We gays don't brag, which is why we are so much better than everyone else.

Actually, this makes perfect sense. Women are more detail oriented than men.

"Women are more detail oriented than men." — I dunno about that.. plenty of guys like looking at de tail.

This may arise from habits learned out of necessity because of the differences between trying to date as a straight person versus trying to date as a gay person.
