Gaydar is real, so sayeth the scientists

A neat study out of Tufts suggests that people can guess better than chance whether a man is gay just by looking at his face. "The researchers found that subjects could accurately determine in 50 milliseconds — one-twentieth of a second — whether the men were gay or straight about 60 percent of the time. Rule says all the subjects were accurate 55 percent to 70 percent of the time."

founder makes total sense. homosexuality is clearly determined at conception and can be considered a developmental issue. it makes sense that there would be some "soft signs" of homosexuality that can be quantified. [QUOTE]

founder this is sort of neat. this is a really old story that got revived because someone clicked on the "gay issues" and voted, it then just happened to be reranked and has picked up 10 more votes in the past day or so. [QUOTE]
