What does facebook "interested in" blank mean?

[scooter63]

Signs, signals, hints, twitches, crossing legs, wiggle the ass ............

From this the answer comes. Yep he's gay.

Don't you think that during an update to the page just maybe it was erased and maybe accidently and he doesn't even know it?

Oh my god ...........

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.

And you know this how? Have you personally met this person? How in the love of Mike can you repeatedly state such stuff? Has he publicly stated that? If he hasn't and unless he has a secret sex tape showing him fucking or getting fucked by some guy then know one knows.

Observe his pictures though. Pictures tell A WHOLE LOT MORE story!!!

Wake up, folks. Your profile easily outs you:

Project Gaydar: Facebook profile reveals your sexuality

Leaving your preference blank is one of many hints you leave.

Well, your signature says it right there. You want other people to believe your lies, so you want everyone to believe these my-interested-in-is-blank-on-Facebook guys.

Life doesn't work that way. People see right through that shit, sorry.

Desperate is not seeing the elephant in the room.

Desperate is putting your head in the sand.

A blank interested-in is as sure a clue as any that he's gay/bi.

People are saying, if its blank, he's gay/bi. Wrong, people leave it blank, or change it, or even have it listing the opposite, for whatever reason they choose. This doesn't define their sexuality, and people telling this guy that it does, is just getting his hopes up for nothing.

No one knew... leave it blank...

Your whole existence is based on secrets. That's the first sign that someone is gay/bi.

I have more respect for people's intelligence and kindness.

Just more signs? Signals?

From where can you say someone is gay because they leave a field blank on some computer message board is beyond me. And just where is this elephant any way? Not every person that someone talks about on these message boards are gay and in denial about it. Making it seem so doesn't make it so.

SAGUY84 Re: What does facebook "interested in" blank mean?

I'm quite shocked at how stupid some people can be, if its blank, yup 100% gay.....

Well said and I am too. Those darn signs again. Reminds me of Bill Engval and his routine of "Here's your sign."

As was said famously by someone, even if it was hollywood, "I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore." Unsound, unsounded, unsupportable statements and advice should be called on so that the OP of any thread can make sure that not everyone agrees with what it being said and should be cautioned about actions.

Unless someone comes right out and says "I am gay, bisexual, or transgendered" or anything else for that matter, no one knows for sure.

Let me guess, Scooter: You're in the closet, right?

Nope. But I was beginning to wonder if the Pigs Eye Treatment Plant backed up again and polluted the Twin Cities water supply. Otherwise I am at a lost as to how you are coming up with all of this information from a few lines in a post. Whatever you are paying that gypsie with the crystal ball you better give her a raise.

While every option you listed is certain possible, possible and probable are not the same thing.

I just find it funny when people have to come up with all sorts of weird explanations when there is a much simpler explanation staring you right in the face. And it's usually the closeted guys who want people to believe their lies who like to believe these "possibilities".

All these weird outlier possibilities are probably right--5% of the time. So, no, I don't know that anyone's gay. But I'm usually right.

That's all.

P.S.--Your profile says you're in the closet at work. Do you need to change it?

Thanks for checking out the profile and noticing the details entered there. I too have looked at your profile and read through some of your blog postings. Very interesting to say the least.

I find it interesting that there is information staring at me in the face or any one else for that matter. What I see staring at me is people. Just ordinary people. Some of them may be straight, some of them may be gay, some of them may be an alien as well, and some of them may be a communists too.

Unless someone comes out and states categorically that they are gay all the rest of it remains as guesses. As I have asked before, just what is the number of gay people in the world, in the US? Most of the postings in this forum are written by men and they are asking about what other people may be or may not be. And on a good many of those posting you have made a response to them that the person in question is gay and in the closet and in denial. That is the issue that I have with most of your posts. While you were married to your ex-wife, how many people did you meet that were gay? How many of them were in denial? How many of them do you know personally now that you are out?

Not everyone we meet is gay. Not everyone is in denial. Not everyone has to wear their sexuality on their sleeves whether they are gay or straight. Most of the time our guesses are wrong.

As I said, my issue with you is the blanket responses of "he's gay" and "he's in denial." You state this as if you have absolute proof. You never couched your responses as an opinion but rather as fact. And that my friend from Minnesota is just plain wrong IMHO. It is wrong to lead people on with words of false hopes no matter what you may personally think may or may not be happening in a given situation.

And just for the record, no I am not in the closet. I am not in denial. I am not pretending. I am not lusting after straight friends. And no, I don't go around trying to get everyone I know to come out as a gay person either.

Please take some advice given Lube and take a breath to stop and realize what it is that you have been posting recently in your advice to others. What you are giving as opinion is coming across as fact and that may not always be the healthiest or wisest thing to give to others.

I am no expert, as are most of the people on JUB, but some times we can say something that will help one person, a dozen, or society as a whole but, we can also say something that will hurt one person, a dozen, or society as a whole as well.

Thank you very much for a measured, thoughtful response. There are so many shrill argumenters here, it's nice to just have a conversation once in a while.

Yes, it's a guess, but an educated guess.

• Do you not wonder if your sister is pregnant with your first niece or nephew when you see her belly grow, even if she denies it?
• Do you not wonder if your parents are on the road to divorce if they constantly fight, even if they deny it?
• Do you not wonder if your bf is trying to figure out what you want for your birthday when he asks more questions than usual at your favorite store, even if he denies it?
• Do you not wonder if your bf is cheating on you if you find a used condom that isn't yours and wasn't used on you, even if he denies it?
• Do you not wonder if a new JUB member is bogus if his stories and escapades seem just too good to be true?

Life is not black and white. People are not always honest with themselves or others. In my opinion, you cannot successfully go through life believing what everybody tells you (look what happened to Europe in WW II).

Elucidating fact from fiction is a life skill that will do you well.

You're right, I do come across strong. That's for two reasons. One, is the old "been there done that", and no one should go through what I (and millions like me) went through. Two, is that I see a lot of denial here at JUB. Even from out gay guys.

How can out gay guys be in denial, you ask? Oh, not about their own sexuality, but about others' sexuality.

Time and time again I'm surprised by posts from guys ("guys" meaning guys and gals) who apparently need incontrovertible, documented proof that someone is gay before they'll even consider it. As I posted above, that's a terrible way to live life, because you will be duped over and over again.

I'm just trying to present an alternative perspective.

And just for the record, no I am not in the closet. I am not in denial. I am not pretending. I am not lusting after straight friends. And no, I don't go around trying to get everyone I know to come out as a gay person either.

By the same token, telling someone to abandon a potential love interest because there is no incontrovertible proof even though they have a deep emotional connection (best friend, etc.) can be just as bad if not worse advice than telling them to pursue it.

We can agree to disagree, and continue to post our independent viewpoints, and let the thread starters make their own decisions.

Mine is currently blank even although I am 'out'. I'm bisexual, not gay.

You're free to check both Men and Women, if that's what's keeping you back.
