THE TTH ABOUT ‘GAYDAR’

"But while might sound almost dismissive to imply that we have vic our bras that tect some kd of wav of gayns emanatg om other people, gaydar is a well-studied phenomenon.

Unfortunately, the rults of all that study jt seem to ph a unified theory of gay tectn further and further book Gay, Straight, and the Reason Why, giv what's probably the most eful fn of gaydar: "the abily to spot people who are gay whout the benef of any explic rmatn about their sexual orientatn. He says, scientifilly, gaydar is mostly tectg tras typil of another genr:Gaydar appears to volve the tectn of ordary genred tras, by and large—tras that distguish men and women and that are important to anyone's life as a social animal. What turns "gendar" to gaydar, for the most part, is simply the mismatch between some of the discernible genred tras and a person's physil 2012, psychologists Joshua Tabak and Vivian Zayas, performed a gaydar experiment volvg the intifitn of fac.

(It's worth notg that experiments, gay people appear to have better gaydar than straight people, but those numbers are snt, and looks like an area that uld e further study. Scientific rults jt barely better than chance might feel wrong to anyone who claims to have a powerful gaydar, particularly those who enjoy outg celebri.

IS ‘GAYDAR’ REALLY A THG?

After all, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been subject to gay mors sce he was a kid, and they persisted well to adulthood, but unls he's playg a very long game, Arnie is probably not acrdg to Simon LeVay, 's not jt false posiv llg gaydar's reliabily to qutn. "The studi I'm faiar wh ually fd that plenty of gay people are mis-diagnosed as straight, " he told the nuts-and-bolts level, there seem to be two basic ponents of gaydar: The physil, and the lguistic, both of which have been at least partially nfirmed by scientists. Also unfortunate: tryg to e the ditors to nudge your gaydar one way or another would often be as awkward as tryg to practice phrenology on a bld stance, you n theoretilly sometim tell a man is gay by lookg at the crown of his hair.

THE SCIENCE OF “GAYDAR”: HOW WELL CAN WE DETECT OTHER PEOPLE’S SEXUAL ORIENTATN?

Gay men also have also been shown to have more "feme" x and rg fger length rats, or 2D:4D "dig rat, " an attribute that's also associated wh beg a dick to women straight men.

A more promisg study at Tufts Universy found that jt by lookg at static imag of fac a laboratory settg, people were able to distguish gay fac om straight on wh an accuracy level above study suggts that there's some kd of gay face shape, an ia that was proposed last year a Czech study that claimed gay men have "relatively wir and shorter fac, smaller and shorter nos, and rather massive and more round jaws, " and that this reprented a "mosaic of both feme and mascule featur. The director of that film, David Thorpe told VICE that he ma bee, "I worried that I sound too effemate for some guys to be attracted to me, " and that he "sometim felt vulnerable suatns where I thought I might not be wele as an openly gay person, but, like or not, my voice gave me away.

DO GAYDAR REALLY EXIST?

Sure, distct sounds have been isolated studi, and associated wh a gay (aga, ually male) voice, but the range of sounds is all over the a pneerg 1994 paper on the topic, the anthropologist Rudolf Gd found that subjects uld intify a gay voice, but Gd failed to fd what he expected terms of dynamic range, or what might be lled a "sg-songy voice. " As is often the se studi of gay male speech, supposedly rembl feme speech, acrdg to Pierrehumbert and for nsonants, is there a "gay lisp"?

" A study by Ron Smyth of the Universy of Toronto found higher equenci the letters S and Z among gay men, and found that gay men e the "dark" L sound (That lk is to a YouTube vio that will tell you what the hell a "dark" L sound is). In an terview wh VICE, Benjam Munson of the Universy of Mnota explaed that he had also observed the e of California English Mnota speakers who were gay. "The reference to the Kardashians gets at a major problem wh tryg to e of verbal cu to figure out whether someone is gay: It's subject to trends, and we don't know which on are gog to be permanent.

Also, when people are given the opportuny to gus a target’s sexualy on a spectm—a la the classic Ksey Sle—rather than makg eher/or cisns, gay and bisexual persons tend to be given pretty siar ratgs.

SCIENCE EXPLAS WHY 'GAYDAR' ISN'T REAL

This suggts that gaydar really only distguish heterosexual om non-heterosexual, meang don’t necsarily help when to makg more fe-graed termatns. Bottom le: The rearch nducted to date suggts that there is somethg to the ia of gaydar that people appear able to tuively terme others’ sexualy at levels greater than chance rponse to a variety of cu.

At the same time, though, gaydar is clearly an imperfect tool, and one that don’t necsarily appear sensive to the wi spectm of sexuali that exist.

While many people believe stereotypg is wrong, llg “gaydar” merely provis a ver for g stereotypil tras – like someone’s fashn sense, profsn or hairstyle – to jump to nclns about someone beg gay. My lleagu and I spected that even people who would normally try to rea om stereotypg might be more likely to e gay stereotyp if they are led to believe they have gaydar. We told some participants that scientific evince says gaydar was a real abily, led others to believe that gaydar is jt another term for stereotypg and said nothg about gaydar to a third group (the ntrol).

TT YOUR GAYDAR

Those who were told gaydar is real stereotyped much more than the ntrol group, and participants stereotyped much ls when they had been told that gaydar is jt another term for stereotypg. Usg gaydar as a way to talk nocuoly or jokgly about stereotypg – “Oh, that guy sets off my gaydar” – trivializ stereotypg and mak seem like no big al. Participants learned only one thg about this other person, eher that he was gay or simply liked shoppg (people tend to assume men who like shoppg are gay).

In one ndn, therefore, the participants knew that the man was gay and the other they might have privately ferred that he was gay though wasn’t nfirmed, but that wasn’t known to anyone else (who might have acced them of beg prejudiced). As we predicted, the vertly prejudiced people tend to rea om shockg the man who was nfirmed as gay, but livered extremely high levels of shocks to the man who liked shoppg.

FOUNR OF ONLE DATG SE GAYDAR DI AGED 51

In the studi, rearchers prented pictur, sound clips and vios of real gay and straight people to the participants, who then tegorized them as gay or straight. Half of the people the pictur, clips and vios were gay and half were straight, which meant that the participants would monstrate an accurate gaydar if their accuracy rate were signifintly higher than 50 percent. But as we’ve been able to show two recent papers, all of the prev studi fall prey to a mathematil error that, when rrected, actually leads to the oppose ncln: Most of the time, gaydar will be highly accurate.

INTRODUCG MASCULY STUDI TO INFORMATN SYSTEMS REARCH: THE SE OF GAYDAR

In a world where 95 percent of people are straight, 60 percent accuracy means that for every 100 people, there will be 38 straight people rrectly assumed to be gay, but only three gay people rrectly tegorized.

If you’re disappoted to learn that your gaydar might not operate as well as you thk do, there’s a quick fix: Rather than g to a snap judgment about people based on what they wear or how they talk, you’re probably better off jt askg them.

In a procs known as genr versn, gay men tend to sway their hips like straight women, while lbians tend to swagger their shoulrs like straight men.

GAYDAR

Aga, we see that gaydar works like other social tuns, that the stereotyp people nscly hold don’t match the featur their tuns tect at an unnsc level.

The fact that facial featur provi visual cu to sexual orientatn lends support for epigeic theori that attribute homosexualy to prenatal experienc such as exposure to hormon utero. The term is often ed a humoro llaborate wh the wacky bunch at SyWatcher Comics om Facebook on this the past, there were many theori and studi about how gay people n sense each other.
