Gay Vibrations

[rareboy]

When I was coming of age, there were so many more DL and closeted homos...but it was always easy for me to pick up the vibration from a look or something said.

Sometimes though, my partner and I will not agree on whether a guy is giving out signals.

How is your Gaydar?

my gaydar is most excellent but I honed the mastery of gayfriendlydar to perfection - in the ole~ days if you couldn't spot a straight stud who would be open to a blowjob then most often you weren't getting any D.......

If you get a window seat in a London coffee bar you can play a game called "gay or European?", which basically means guessing whether the well-groomed, sharply dressed men walking past with smart haircuts, designer sunglasses and expensive-looking shoulder bags are home-grown homos or visitors from another world (mainly France or Italy). We don't get foreign visitors where I live, so if you wear anything smart, or even just clean, people assume gay.

I always go to the same Italian barber's in London, and when I go up to town for a haircut I wear my best Steve McQueen threads. The neighbours probably wonder why I'm all tarted up and assume I'm a mincing poofter. Then when I get there I might see an actual Italian customer in a snappy suit and handmade shoes, and suddenly instead of looking like the gay King of Cool I look like the bloke who's come to unblock the drains.
