Is it normal i think all men these days look gay?

I think more and more men look like they are gay. the way they dress them self...i mean my goodness you cant distinguish them from the straight. Before guys only wore some simple t.shirt and pants....now the pants are so tight and t-shirt are so "fancy" . Cant straight just were some ordinary clothes so its easier to see who i gay and who is not. And stop all the gay hair styles you have too.

    What is a fancy t-shirt? I have one that has tiny seashells on it. But I've yet to wear it and it's been in my closet for months. Does that mean I'm yet to come out of the closet????

    Gay is just a sexual orientation. How can you look like it?

      You can often tell a lot about people by how they dress. You can't tell me you've never spotted a douchebag before he's even opened his mouth.

        You're missing the point. Dress sense says a bit about an individual's personality. Does it tell you whether they like men or women? No, no it doesn't.

          If a guy is wearing a shirt that says " I luv dick" ...?

          Well, nothing's for sure, but it'd be ridiculous to ignore some of your observations completely on the grounds that you couldn't be totally sure they were definite evidence of something. I would argue that for myself, style has predicted personality about as often as sexual orientation.

          You can't assuredly tell a person's sex by their outer appearance or voice either, but we make assumptions about sex based on facial appearance, hairstyle, body shape, and clothing everyday. You're much more likely to be wrong when you're trying to guess sexual orientation of course, but an educated guess can be helpful when you're trying to weed through possible suitors.

          If you look for them, there are clues about thousands of traits in someone's clothing, body-language, voice, etc., if you're perceptive enough to notice them. The more you see, the easier you can come to an understanding about who they are, and the faster you'll be able to help them.

            "[...] we make assumptions about sex based on facial appearance, hairstyle, body shape, and clothing everyday"

            Yes, we make assumptions based on body structure because sex is associated with numerous physical traits. Such as breasts and facial hair. Connections between physical appearance and sexual orientation lacks hard evidence.

            "an educated guess can be helpful when you're trying to weed through possible suitors. "

            An educated guess? I'm a bi woman. Do you want provide an "educated" guess about how I dress compared to billions of straight women (whom you imply all dress similarly)?

            "If you look for them, there are clues about thousands of traits in someone's clothing, body-language, voice, etc., if you're perceptive enough to notice them. "

            What traits are you talking about? Unless you're talking about body language which exhibits signs of sexual interest you're likely just guessing at their orientation.

            "[...] the faster you'll be able to help them."

            What is this? Some messiah complex?

              I really do agree with you on the main thing I think. Personally, I've been assumed to be gay countless times due to anything from my hair length, to my penchant for brightly coloured clothes, to my taste in music. I don't fault these people for having their guesses about me, but I do for sharing their unwarranted "conclusions" with me. Even your "hard evidence" distinction between guessing gender and guessing orientation doesn't hold up in every situation. I've been genuinely mistaken for a woman twice in my adult life. I guess my secondary sex characteristics don't always come through for me.

              You said I'd "...likely just be guessing", and you'd be right, but it's not exactly a guess per se, as it's unintentional. My mind just formulates these 'conditioned conjectures' we'll call them, by itself, and I'm not the only one. There's been a trend of sorts on YT lately where a lot of YouTubers have come out to their fans, but some of these people's fans weren't shocked at the coming out, but shocked that they weren't out already! They'd just presumed they were gay for years without ever having any solid proof of it, they had just assumed based upon things I'd mentioned in my last comment: voice, mannerisms, style, etc. We all make these snap presumptions about people everyday, but it's when we voice them as established truths that we frustrate people to no end. The skills we use to come to these conclusions (pattern recognition, categorization, etc.) they're crucial for everyday life. The problems arise when we use them to jump to the nearest conclusion and stubbornly stick to it without any further research or reflection because there are exceptions to EVERY rule, and this is truest when we're talking about people.

              There's not an exact science behind intuition, it's just clues your subconscious starts gathering until one day your mind can't help but construct tentative conclusions from it, whether or not they're welcome or agree with your morality and/or logical reasoning or not. I am in no way presenting as indisputable, universal fact that sexual orientation is visible. Of course, that'd be a ludicrous thing for me to believe, but I can't help but casually notice certain things that some people that I've later learned are either straight or gay or whatever have in common with other people who share their identified orientation (a la gaydar). Personally, I haven't noticed anything yet that bisexual people like yourself have in common with each other. I agree with you that one simply musn't come to a firm conclusion without firm evidence, and in the case of sexual orientation, the only acceptable evidence there is for me is self identification. I can have my guesses all night and day about someone, but until the person confirms or denies these, they have no real meaning, they're just my mind at work. I'm sorry I hadn't made any of this clear in my previous comments. I'd be the worst sort of hypocrite if I were the type to presume anything as true about a person for certain without hearing it from the horse's mouth, as snap judgment in others really bugs me. I sincerely hope I'm not coming off closed-minded or offensive here, as that's NOT my goal. I'm just sharing my observations. :/

            You're right actually. Like people with stupid bumper stickers are obviously warning you " stay away from me I'm an aggressive asshole".

    I like when guys clean themselves up and look nice. There was once a time where everyone fixed themselves up before they left the house. Now days people just throw shit on and out they go. If more guys are looking "gay" these days because they're actually taking the time to work on how they look then the world is becoming a better place.

    I don't think it; I know it. All of the men's fashions right now were big in the Toronto theatre community like five years ago. I have friends who are part of that 'scene'. Straight guys just copy gay guys (their hair, their clothes, their slang, etc.) unknowingly.

    That ghastly, dumb undercut (Is that what it's called?) hairstyle all guys have been sporting since like late 2009 here, that was in the gay community first. For some reason trends "stick" longer among straight men. When will that HIDEOUS hairstyle die?? It looks like a mistake, honestly. I'd sue if I came out of the hair salon like that. I'm sorry, but it makes everyone with it look like they have a weird shaped head.. it's just not attractive on 99 percent of guys. In general, I think fashion is just really ugly right now. People are gonna look back on the early 2010's in disgust, just you wait. </rant>

    I mean.. um... everyone can dress how they want :)

    OP: A heads up... gay guys are now dressing more "regularly", so if you want a straight guy, ignore the guys who look straight LOL

    You're making it out like being gay is a bad thing. That's not very nice. I'm not a big fan of today's "fashions" but who the hell am I to judge? You must be super radical and the epitome of awesome threads to be such a fartknocker about other people's choice of clothing.

    I'd have to agree, if you are speaking of younger guys, especially teens. But even the young urban professionals dress to be sexless and just don't appear to have any confidence in their masculinity. The word wimp often springs to mind when I see them.
    I feel quite sad for gals these days, as the choices seem to be rather limited.

      I don't pay much attention to young people's clothes. My son's are 38 and 40. One is a doper street person and the older is a hard working man that adopted his brothers son so he would not be taken by the state like the younger ones girlfriend that had 3 taken from her before my younger son met her. I never know what the 38 will be wearing. the older one dresses casual diff. kinds of pants and usually a football or some saying on it. The dumbest thing I have seen is guy's wearing their pants pulled down in the back so you could see their ass.

    On some jobs you have to dress a certain way.
    I had a job that I could wear Levis and a T-Shirt and tennis and no one cared. They just wanted a key made or their auto - truck right and fast. And I was my own boss. The same thing I wear when I'm not working.
    The same type of clothes I have been wearing for 50 years.

    I have wore Levis, a pocket T-shirt, And boots or tennis shoes since I was 14. In the winter I wear a snap-up flannel long sleeve shirt. I don't own a suit. When I went to the Lincoln dealer to buy a new car a salesman wouldn't even stop and ask me what I was looking for. I yelled at one of them "where is the manager" They sent him out and I asked the price of one, he told me and I said what is their cash price. All of a sudden I was sir and mister.

      Had the same thing happen at car dealers because they thought I didn't look wealthy enough to pay cash for a new car, even though I have more cash than many, I just don't flaunt it.

      I did an experiment a few years back when I was looking for a new car, going to car dealers dressed in ordinary old jeans, t shirt, sneakers, which makes them think I can't afford a new car. Later I wrote letters to a few of the asshole dealers who ignored me and with a copy of the receipt for $25k I spent at the dealer who didn't judge me on appearances.

        I started a locksmith business in 88. In time I was well known. Some of the new car dealers would call me as it was cheaper than doing it with their workers and they can't get key codes for their own autos. Many created a billing account. Most of my customers was private parties, small car dealers and body shops. After several years I was making over $100.000 a year. So I could pay cash for cars. I sold my biz in 2010 and retired for the second time. Now I do what ever I want when I feel like it. It has become boring. I wish I would not have sold out.
