Does your gaydar break when you see a Femme Lesbian/Bi Girl?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

do you take it to a shop to repair it?

what do you do with your broken gaydar?

are you sure you are not confusing gender stereotypes with gayness or lack thereof?

1. I have a whole drawer full of burned out and broken gaydars.

The shitty part is you can't throw them away because of the heavy metals, but recycling facilities are only found in LA, San Francisco, New York, and Provincetown. :banghead:

3. ROFLROFLROFL

That's funny as hell.

Actually I heard the P-town facility is closed for the season. It should open up again in May.

5. No, we have a little satellite center here

in Key West too. :rofl:

2. guilty

*raises hand*
confusing the stereotypes = wishful thinking.

What I've learned: make no assumptions; approach all with respect, as if they are part of some couple, regardless of who-with.

:shrug:

8. That's an awesome lesson to have learned.

Wouldn't it be great if more people figured that out? :)

10. For a number of years I had the pleasure of working

with one such hot "femme," and it was through that stop-my-animal-baseness work that I got the opportunity to know her on a better level, and which gave us grounding to be good (working) partners.
It was a wonderful lesson, and I love her still...:)

4. My Gaydar is infallible

And I say that you're all gay. Even you over there by the coffee machine.

[Evoman]

6. I don't have a gaydar, not really...unless they a person acts in a stereotypical "gay" way

i.e. flamboyance in men, flannel butchiness in women, I can't tell. Not that it really matters in the long run...I have a gf, so I don't hit on women anymore, and gay men never hit on me. I went to a gay club one time with my brother and his work mates (one of his work mates was gay and sponsored us), and I never got hit on at all. I guess I'm more attractive to women, for whatever reason.

15. I thought you were attractive in a picture you posted here at DU

I suspect if you went to gay clubs a few more times (especially not with a group of people) or if you hung out in gay chatrooms and posted pictures of yourself while there you would get hit on. :shrug:

7. My gaydar only works around other guys

It's not a very strong gaydar to begin with. Mainly, I pick up on an overall "vibe" I'm receiving from the guy.

With women, however, it's useless. And I do know some very "femme" lesbians, too.

[xchrom]

9. my 'dar is reasonably reliable.

it's been a survival tool through the years.

[Sapphocrat]

11. No, but...

...if I posted a picture of every woman I'd ever... dated, the overconfidence of many self-proclaimed "gaydar" experts would be shattered.

[idgiehkt]

12. I've broken quite a bit of gaydar.

I've never been clocked by a gay person yet. So there must be scads of us out there. I identified as 'pure' (lol) lesbian for over a decade and always had to out myself to gay people. I have known so many women that don't fit the sterotype...more that don't than those that do, actually.

13. what do you do with a broken gaydar

early in the morning

[graywarrior]

14. Are you gay if you like men who wear makeup?

If so, I am so gay.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

16. there is the occasional stealth chick.

no doubt about it.

sigh. i suppose its what keeps the world interesting. and cruel. oh so fucking cruel.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. i dont go in stealth. i just go as i am.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

19. you may not.

some do though. not intentionally stealthy btw. just not showing up on my gaydar, that's all. no system is perfect. there are some b2s out there.

[RetroLounge]

18. I've had my Gayday removed

It was so Obviously broken, i mean, i thought it worked, but, well, you know...

:shrug:
