you cant always. Some people are very misleading. My best friend gets accused of being gay all the time and he is really as straight as they come.

In my business I've been accused of being gay and have been hit on. Most people that know me or have met me would never think it was possible. Just goes to show you that anyone can be gay. Many effeminate men are straight and many masculine men are gay. I used to have a client come in for flattops and he looked like a 6'4" navy seal. He made the shop go queit when he entered. There is not a person I know that would have ever guessed him gay, and no way in hell anyone would dare to make dispariging remarks to his face! It's best not to guess unless you're wanting to date someone, and then it's perfectly safe and not remotely rude to ask.

I think most people know a guy out there who's gay but could not be spotted by anyone. But maybe you have a finely tuned gaydar? What do I know?

I have little to no problem telling with men, but women are another issue. Even if a guy is not affeminate (did i spell that right?) or dress like the fab 5 i can pick it up from other things, but with women i have no clue. are there any women with hints on how they can tell which women to approach?

Well, the easiest way besides just flat out approaching them is to go to a gay bar :-D

redheadablaze is right on that one. you can tell alot about a person through their eyes too. from living in key west my gaydar is on point plus i have dabbled with women. i can always tell if a women is in to me by looking into her eyes. if she is looking as deep as you are, thats a pretty good sign to iniciate (spell check) conversation. are you looking for a lesbian or someone who is bi? because there is a difference on approach.

I will let you in on a little secret:
All women fantasize about being with another woman. If you are hot you could get pretty much any chick!!!
Just ask, I wish that more bi's would approach me!!
Because for 2 years before I met the man I'm with I thought that maybe, just maybe I would be happier with a female!!!
Just go for it girl you might be pleasantly surprised!!!

I think she right about lookin' in the eyes...but oh well....to be safe about it, just wait it out and see if she makes any type of move or indication of interest....It really is hard to tell unless they're butchy...or wearing a sign...........or maybe a rainbow....some people think that a tongue is also a sign....oh well...if they want you to know...you'll know...
uuuummm.....I have a tongue ring...I wonder if anyone round my way figures me to be les or bi......yeah...looks can be deceiving...or correct... confusin'

okay, some people aren't even trying to be serious. one way that i know is when they intentionally make physical contact by brushing up against you. whether engaged in conversation or not, and there's no apparent reason for it. leaning in close to say something that it wouldn't matter if anyone heard. eyes are a good clue too, the intensity in them. if they are looking at you when it's quiet and when you glance over at them their eyes move somewhere else because they know they got caught. i hope these pointers give you some clues. good luck!

I don't think you can know unless you ask! Maybe try going to a gay bar...most of the people there ARE usually homosexual after all. When you are in a regular bar, many people are straight. There are also, I am sure, clubs and social functions for homosexuals you could attend in your hometown.
Just some suggestions.

I would say that it would be really hard to figure out someone's sexual orientation just by looking. Alot of people get my sexual orientation wrong. It doesn't bother me in the least, but it shows me that, of the people I have met, their "gaydar" could use some adjusting. I will not type here what my orientation is, because I bet people will get it wrong. (feel free to guess lol)

Point is, *cliche alert* don't judge a book by it's cover. Just ask them what their preference is, if that is too hard then it's best left unknown.

The original poster hasn't posted in a long time and is likely gone.

Straght/gay you can usually tell by their date. If they are single, I don't know how to define gaydar.

OTOH, gay women are often quite turned off by bisexuals. They consider them "experimentalists".

Identifying other bisexual women? How they flirt with you when you talk with them is usually a good clue. The bigger question in general is "is she in to you". If she is, sh'e likely bi or gay, if she's not then it doesn't matter what she is.
