Here are a couple of signals we pick up on, some are more obvious than others:1.) The classic hiss when speaking. The drawn out "s", often accompanied by over exaggerated hand gestures. And of course overly feminine mannerisms. Many gay men act more feminine than the girliest girl.2.) Gay men lack the embarrassment gene. They can put their emotional self out there on display and not worry about what others think. Singing and dancing to their iPOD in public without caring about who stares at them. 3.) Gay men usually refer to themselves by their full name. I am not "Bob", "Bobby", or "Rob", I am "Robert". I am not "Bill" or "Will", I am "William". I am definitely not "Steeverino", I am "Stephen".4.) Gay men have good fashion sense and know the names of designers, the names of perfume manufacturers, what hand bags are in style, etc.. Hetero guys don't know or care about that stuff.5.) Gay men are usually good at dressing and matching socks with ties, etc.. 6.) Gay men are usually very gossipy and know the latest celebrity news.7.) A rainbow bumper sticker or rainbow window sticker on their car is their advertisement. Or perhaps other rainbow colored things like a wristband, belt, or other personal accessory.8.) An affinity for show tunes and musicals.9.) Older gay men love Barbara Streisand, Liza Minelli, Bette Midler and of course Judy Garland.10.) They know what topic was on Oprah yesterday.11.) They criticize others fashion sense (or lack thereof).12.) That look of happy insanity in their eyes is also a sign.13.) Picking lint off other guys clothes, and or fixing another guy's tie or adjusting a collar or lapel.Let me know if you need more and I will write back.
