for Sarah

Gaydar
- the intuitive ability to determine whether another person is gay or bisexual
- Whether anyone actually has such an ability is a debated question, especially in Western (or Asian) culture
- relies on indirect senses and intuitions rather than direct questions or fact-finding
- also relies on sensitivity to certain mannerisms: anything from flamboyant or overt rejection of traditional gender roles (including occupation, grooming habits, and so on) to more subtle clues, like one's style preferences or other personal tastes or habits
-A study published in 1999 showed that homosexuals are better at correctly identifying sexual orientation than heterosexuals from silent videos and photographs

-from Wikipedia and personal observations

My so-called gaydar has never failed me before. I have actually prided myself on being able to "catch" on quick/er than other heterosexuals. Well. You know what happens when you become too smug about yourself; the universe bonks you right on the head.

gwaps, that's murphy's law for both of us. actually they do look like metrosexuals. s' eyes are just too pretty. not even the one-day facial hair can roughen the features. siguro, pareho sila nagmana sa mga nanay nila. hehehe. i guess next time we do this (if there's a next time), we better hear them speak before we make our conclusions. btw, you can comment on the "visitors' feedback" somewhere on the lower right portion of my blog. popup window nga lang sya. dunno if that would work with your blackberry..

ley, it's just some random people we were observing over the weekend :D
