What does facebook "interested in" blank mean?

OK. So I have this friend who I think might be gay, but who has always been really sketchy about his own sexuality. He has denied he's gay but never really wants to stay on that topic either. He hasn't had a serious girlfriend, EVER, despite the fact he's 24 years old.

Anyways, this is why I'm posting. About a month ago, I noticed that his facebook profile changed. While he maintained that he was single, he changed the profile from "Interested In: Women" to just leaving the field blank. If he was now in a relationship, I could see taking that down. But if you're still single but leave the interested in field blank, that seems to indicate to me that you're gay. I had the same thing in my profile until March 2007, when I came out and immediately changed my profile from "Interested In: Women" to blank, while maintaining my single status. What do people think?
 
Of course he's gay. Does he need to hit you with a bat for you to get it?

(I'm totally serious.)

See my Nobody knows I'm gay thread.
 
FWIW, many of my gay friends tend to leave that blank on fb
 
read the article... they conducted the study at my university!!
 
I have a friend who recently came out and his "Interested in" was "Women" when I met him, then blank after he came out to me, and then when he came out to everyone about eight months later he changed it to "Men". My boyfriend leaves his blank because I'm all the men he needs. I leave mine blank, but I leave everything blank except for my birthday and religious and political views.

So, yeah it's a good sign he could be gay, especially if you already thought he might be.
 
I'd say pretty high chance hes gay. I know some straight people that leave it blank also but they are in committed relationships and aren't really seeking other females.
 
Well I for one have always had my "interested in" blank even though I'm totally out. But I always think when any guy leaves his "interested in" blank then for me it means his got something to hide.
 
Thank you everybody for some of your feedback (although more is certainly welcome). I agree with what people are saying. I'm out of the closet, and I leave mine blank simply because I don't want weird people in my network running a search for males interested in men and then stalking me (trust me, it did happen during the three months that I DIDN'T leave it blank).

The only straight people I know who leave it blank are, exactly as one poster here said, those in serious, committed relationships. I think I know one or two others who pretty much leave everything blank but for their gender, just because they don't bother to fill it out. But when everything (including your relationship status) is filled in EXCEPT "interested in", that definitely raises some red flags.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
 
Signs are positive, yes. But if you're gay and out with him, and you've asked him if he's gay and he denies it, I'd say he isn't ready to talk about it. So stop pushing, stop hinting, and stop "looking for signs". Just be gay, be happy, and lead by example. :)

^ Yes, being an open, happy, well-adjusted gay man is what many closeted men need as a role model.

I'm all of that--except maybe the well-adjusted part. ;)
 
I believe a "blank" means you're gay but in denial. At least you know he's anything but straight because God knows those straight guys do everything to keep up their masculinity.
 
They removed the option of searching for "interested in.." so you dont have to worry about people finding you. As for leaving it blank, it usually means gay, not always. And I've known gay or bi guys who still say interested in women, when they barely are!
 
Yep he is gay.

Straight men don't mind saying they are straight.
But gay men don't usually say they are gay.
 
I recently changed my "interested in" to blank, from "interested in woman".

Why? I didn't have the guts to put "interested in men and women", but I also wanted to give INTERESTED guys a clue about me ;).

There is NOTHING on my facebook that's left there unintentionally. And changing my "interested in" status while remaining single can be a pretty strong hint if you know where I'm cuming from :).
 
I'm gay, mine is blank, just because my mom has fb and I'd rather she not find out from there.

There is one guy I know who leaves his blank as well which makes me wonder a lot (he's really handsome). When I get back to school from break I plan on having a little chat with him. Interesting post btw.
 
Honestly, it caan mean anything. It doesn't make him 100% gay for sure. I have straight friends who leave it blank. And with me, Im bie and i just recently put ''women''...don't have the guts to put both.
Observe his pictures though. Pictures tell A WHOLE LOT MORE story!!! ;)
 
If he left it blank there has to be a reason, especially because he specifically changed it. He's at least bi, most likely.

Wake up, folks. Your profile easily outs you:

Leaving your preference blank is one of many hints you leave. :)
 
Haha well I have nothing to hide. If someone's curious enough to ask me, let them come ask :).
