We know there is such a thing as gaydar but is there an equivalent for quickly sensing a man is bisexual?Bi-dar?

As imperfect as it is we know that gaydar exists were apparently some of us can detect upon seeing someone, not necessarily even interacting with them that they may be gay. The clues for those who are attuned is apparently in the face.

But is there a similar phenomenon for bisexual men?Do they have a particular look or mainly non verbal indicators that suggest they could be bisexual?

One thing I've noticed - Bi's are often extremely handsome.

& this makes sense, in fact - if you're needing to be attractive to BOTH sexes.

I think so, I also think their is trans-dar. I’m really good friends with 2 transsexuals. And believe me their is a certain aura or ping of a guy into trans. We could be at a straight club and they can claim to be straight but they love sucking and being fucked by trans

I was once at a party and after it one guy said, "There were a lot of bi guys at that party." I asked how he could tell and he said, "Tactile with both men and women, checking out the guys and also the women's boobs." I was like, yep.

The straight guy that works at the gay bars as a bartender. Has had girlfriends in the past but all friends are gay guys, and adds hot girls to his Instagram. Also he has said nose ring

Biguysfuck dot com. They exist. That site is so hot sometimes. Not all the 3ways. But some because it’s like the guys are fucking girls they can let their gay inhibition go wild because they still feel like manly studs. It’s not gay if a girl is there! Hot!

r8 I've never met a bisexual guy with nose rings but I have met several who haven't!

Is there an instant recognition or sense?What I mean is I read of research, not saying it was robust that concluded we subconsciously make up our mind if someone is gay within seconds and have a decent percentage chance of guessing if someone is gay from a facial picture?Anyone remember this research?I'm wondering if the same or similar could be said for bisexual males?

"One thing I've noticed - Bi's are often extremely handsome."

Based on what? I've known plenty of ugly bisexuals. Just because you are attracted to both sexes doesn't mean tons of people lust after you.

There have been a lot of studies about "gaydar" but few about "bi-dar"......if I had to guess, I'd wager that Kinsey 4s and 5s probably ping as gay to most people and Kinsey 1s and 2s probably just blend in with straight people

How to ID a bisexual man:

He's a gay man married to a woman because he wants all of the privileges of being a straight man, with a wife with two tits and a cunt and a couple of spawn. But doesn't want to fuck her and trolls for cock.

It's not that complicated.

by Anonymousreply 15October 24, 2019 5:49 PM

I read in a book about sex somewhere that bi face does exist. It’s a mix of feminine and masc traits, like Cupid bows lips with thick eyebrows. Or strong jaw, long eyelashes. Some bi faces are - chase crawford, channning, the kid on nip/tuck, Simon Rex

R7 Those bi blokes into the trans probably have it even harder insofar as some sort of radar detection. When discussing trans, especially MTF, everyone forgets the genuine intersex. They're virtually indistinguishable from trans. In the UK 1 in 500 men have Klinefelter's Syndrome, and those stats are a bit higher here in the states. That's only one type of intersex, where the karyotype is XXY. There are also simply many unfortunate types with hormone deficiencies who appear mysterious.

I now wonder how they sort them out, or hedge their bets. My Gaydar never worked well, and things have just become more confusing since the 1990s. I'm only reliably able to tell when preppy athletic ladies are lesbians with [italic] some [/italic] degree of accuracy...and even in those instances I've been mistaken.

No one ever said anything about statistics. You're making it up as you go along.

But as you are bringing it up - bisexuality is generally so underground, so hidden, so misunderstood for obvious reasons (that you probably would not be able to understand), statistics never come into it.

There's no proof to suggest he's gay or bi. He played gay in a movie and the gays have run with it ever since.

There was the Toothy Tile episode, for what that's worth, on top of various other unsubstantiated gossip. But he also was in a blatantly, cringe-makingly fake and stage-managed relationship with Taylor Swift (a year after she bearded for Taylor Lautner and a year before she did so for Zac Efron).

Oh wait, I forgot, there's no proof to suggest Taylor Lautner or Zac Efron is gay, either.

R30 what?? Say that you know that there are people in a closet, but you don't know how many there are, because they won't come out and be counted. Then, 2 people come out the closet and tell a statician that they're bisexual. Just because those 2 people came out of the closet doesn't mean that there aren't still more to be accounted for!!

Statistics only work if people allow themselves to be a part of that statistic.

R46 I agree with you Angel... Have had three bi blokes as friends (messed around with one of them quite regularly), and have been in a relationship with one for almost four years. I've been on DL for about three years, and the reigning opinion here on DL ranges from "they don't exist... all closeted weaklings too afraid to come out, or they're scarce as hens' teeth, and are sociopaths who always end up in a straight relationship. It's quite tedious and narrow minded. I support bisexuals of all sorts, and happen to be an outlier here.

by Anonymousreply 50October 24, 2019 11:51 PM

R50 Great post. There also needs to be appreciation that there is variety amongst male bisexuals. I know some male bisexuals whose overwhelming romantic attraction is for men yet going by some comments on here and elsewhere youd think ALL bisexual men only pair up with other men for sex and nothing else substantial .

by Anonymousreply 51October 24, 2019 11:56 PM

Hm. I have too much time on my hands, so let's do a deep dive, shall we?

Tbh I don't know if you can even say that gay people have gay face. IMO the gay face shit is just that--BS. There are a lot of straight acting gay men who marry women and don't have gay face. They're passing, because they fool everyone else around them. No gay face.

Zip. Nil. Nada.

I also have questions about that. Does gay face only apply to men? Or does it also apply to lesbians? Doesn't gay face seem scarily similar to the way Nazis used to measure people's heads to determine if they're Jews or not? Isn't Eugenics sooo 1939? "Studies" on "gay face" seems to be just another excuse for researchers to ask for more grant$ for their "research".

Getting back to the subject at hand, a bi face would seem counterproductive. Because bis like both men and women, they've got to act straight enough to attract the women that they want, so they (bisexual men, in this example) can't act too stereotypically femmy/gay or it would run the risk of turning off their potential female partners. Gay men LOVE straight acting gays, so they don't really have to be too gay acting or femmy to attract guys. Gay guys prefer straight/acting men. So bisexual men would have to act really straight to pull both men and women, generally speaking. Not all women are fag hags, after all. I'm not using bisexual women in my example because the only people who hate bi women are lesbians. Straight men love it and gay men don't care. Bisexual men have it the worst because straight women think that bi men are gross gays who can't be tamed by the all powerful P.

Now, if gayface is real, and that's a big IF, then wouldn't stand to reason that bis would have somewhat of a gay face, if they are in fact attracted to their own sex? So, in my own hypothesis, I would say that bis would have somewhat of a gay face, but it would be subdued enough to attract the opposite sex without raising suspicion (that's for all you bi-hating straight women out there).

But really, I don't think your personal appearance has anything to do with your sexuality, for reasons I have mentioned above. And when I say personal appearance, I don't mean the way you accessorize, like dying your hair or wearing white after Labor Day. I'm talking about the immutable, unchangeable aspects of your appearance and personality, such as your bone structure, facially and physically, pre-op plastic surgery, the way talk, and the way you act.

by Anonymousreply 52October 24, 2019 11:59 PM

I'm not a Bi, so I don't have any insider info, but from the outside, I can't tell anyone apart. Now that metrosexuals have gone mainstream, it's hard to tell one from the other. At least we have Grindr.

There was this poll on the DL a week ago with a link to a story about a bisexual guy who presented super femme. I'll look for it, but I don't think it has anything to do with gay facing.

R13 yes I remember that research a few years ago. Fascinating. Did they even say what the markers were? Like, big nose/wide set eyes/etc? Or was it just subconscious?

I've never been able to tell, but my gaydar is not very accurate anyway.

by Anonymousreply 56October 25, 2019 12:30 AM

R56 I don't believe in a "gayface" per se, and yet again agree with Angel. There have been creepy studies showing that gay men, femme or not have more symmetrical faces, and oddly, those most generally are perceived as more attractive, even by infants in some studies. There is another study which claims AI and facial recognition software can identify gay men by face with a frighteningly high degree of accuracy.

Some of us are simply more obvious, but then again many straights seem gay too. I think mannerisms and personalities are more telling IMHO. I'm not aware of any studies regarding bisexual or lesbian faces... I agree everyone is unique, why would bisexual people be any different?
