The fondue set would probably be wearing a rubber hood and call himself Alan when he wasn't hosting melted cheese.

Gaydar isn't lowculture, it's bottom-feeder culture. In both senses of the word.

I think Gaydar counts as proper lowculture and is worthy of its own thread. No, I'd cry if suddenly my profile was posted for ridicule! The weirdest profile I ever saw (and I'm sorry I don't know his username) was a guy who was turned on by giants! All his photos were of him reduced in size, hanging on to giant knobs. |

Goodness me. The Gays are such freaks, aren't they?

This is why I wish I had a Gaydar! Get yourself a blank profile and go window shopping then. It's funnier than the average ITV sitcom - mind you, that's not saying an awful lot. For someone who professes to hate it I do spend far too much time on there though. |

This is quite cruel, but I set up a GaydarGirls profile with pictures of my lesbo-looking-but totally-hetro mate just so I could laugh at lesbains. I'll go to Hell |

I went back on gaydar last week after a 6 month hiatus and nothing much had changed, except for a noticable number of couples now using the photos from their civil partnership ceremony when looking for a third.
I once went into the gay.com lesbian AA chatroom in the US with the screenname of Christine Cagney. I'd never experienced such hostility, and hadn't again until I informed a skeleton in skin that we didn't use skimmed milk in my cafe.

"2 fit horny guyz lkin 4 3rd" Well they do say that the family that plays together stays together. Do you think they get the wedding album out afterwards and all sit down for a cup of tea reminiscing about what a lovely day it was and how much their Mums loved it and were find about it in the end, really...? |

Oh don't worry I wasn't suggesting that sort of thing at all! Oh dear me, no. That's all a bit too Outpost Gallifrey and their 'real world' section. Is it wrong to read the 'members pictures' thread for amusement?
I was just thinking more along the lines of amusing gaydar related stories, but that might get out of hand very quickly.

My best gaydar story is unfortunately not one that I ever intend to post on a public messageboard.

I'm always surprised [not really] when people say they are "only lookin 4 onest guyz no time wasterz plz" and have to resist the temptation to start deliberately wasting their time!
Also, the instant messages with the devastatingly effective conversational openers, eg:
"all rite?"
"Owz u bud?" and one of my personal favourites:
"What you like doing?" which has elicted the reply from me:
"Reading 19th century novels and watching trashy television". I don't think that's what they generally have in mind.
I haven't been on for months.

I don't think that's what they generally have in mind. Yes one of my favourite retorts to 'What are you into?' is usually 'Kylie Minogue and the Pet Shop Boys!' I rarely get anyone messaging me for sexual meets though and use it as an msm type thing to speak to my friends and laugh at others profiles. In fact the other night a friend had added the tag, 'big and shaved' to his and it kept me laughing for hours. |

The green door was near the Co-op. I've heard the story of the green door. I can sensationally reveal that Marilyn Chambers has absolutely nothing at all to do with it.  |

Not even in that clip where he's been cute, bouncy and homoerotic with a very young Richard Madeley?
Perhaps not
