Amidst all the normal people there seems to be a disproportionate amount of nut jobs (thats on the boys and girls versions) so, without linking to any profiles (well not obviously anyhow!!) I thought it'd be a laugh to talk about the cliches of gaydar.
One of my favourite things is when someone (who obviouslyt doesn't read very much) puts Ann Rice as their favourite Author.
And also, can anyone else understand the body type thing? i mean, I put myself down as Average, but i think I am being a bit harsh on myself seeing as some reet bloaters put 'average' too. What's a boy to do?
I have more, but will let you lot discuss:

Gaydar seems to me to be full of old people who call themselves lads, and fat bald ugly people who call themselves sexy. Do these people not have mirrors?

What about.... guys that say they are "honest" are usually liars. And guys that say "looks aren't everything, and personality is what counts and I'm a good person," is usually judge other people by looks and like to gossip behind people's back.

Guys saying they are looking for friendship are the funniest ones.
I think that you can tell if they really mean it, there's a certain desperation in the tone of their profiles: "I don't have any gay friends and I've just come out and help me!". It's sweet. Note Friendship is not the same as fun and friendship, which, let's face it, means no-strings sex.
And nic, surely you've just described most Leeds lesbians? They need large hoopy earrings and transparent lesbian clubbing shades as well...
I saw one oldy man's profile and under the picture he'd put 'i'm no oil painting, but i'm genuine'. I just thought awwww.. Hope he's found a nice young man for himself.

Oh well. I might sound like there's a stick up my arse, but at least nobody'll throw me down t'pit.
Anyway, I am on Gaydar now as I am in bed sick, and needing a laugh. I have noticed this morning that nearly everyone from Norwich using the site seems to be fat, bisexual, and looking for 'a women to join in with me and my partner'. Eurgh.
Although Gaydar does bring up some classics:
".i suffer with psorises but dont let that put u off it`s not like u can catch it from me"

I didn't say there was, Nic. You know I am a northerener too. And whilst I know your jesting about the southern thing, maybe you could be slightyl less offensive! I know lots of nice southern people with posh accents, thankyou!!!!

whatsnew is his profile. and his default pic freaks me out.
Gaydar just seems so sleezy to me. And it's not even the type of sleaze you can find amusing, simply disturbing! Ended up just deleting my profile because it bored me that much to recieve the same generic message constantly from boring and (it has to be said) seemingly quite desperate people.
Course I did meet my first boyfriend on there...'nuff said really.
i dated someone from an online profile whilst i was in canada a few years ago and we became good friends so it's not always bad. i consider gaydar the lowest of all online profiles and i just have my profile up as a laugh. i dropped using online profiles ages ago now. they are really annoying.
I get more messages on my Gaydar account (fake name, no picture, no information, just used to snoop around) than on my legitimate Gaydar Girls one (picture, information, obvious soliciting of womenfolk). Men are weird.
I think thats probably a good thing.... talking to people that have real bear fetishes is just a bit beyond demented... altho im sure there are some people that are actually like that... Wouldn't like to see someone attempting to woo a bear tho... unless being mauled is part of the fun

Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but you're a total bitch.
Well, this is something I've been waiting to hear for a loooong time (since i got onto the scene, when I cam to uni that is...)
I deleted my gaydar profile perhaps 7/8 months ago? I thought that the people one finds on gaydar simply weren't worth my being genuine for. I have met precisely three people from gaydar in the two short years I've been in Leeds, and one of them was downright WRONG, one of them ended up in me getting caught on CCTV with a guy (though the guy found said tape and burnt it ^_^) and the last one was fun but didn't last.
All in all, I hate gaydar. With a passion. I'm glad to see more enlightened people than me hate it just as much! :)
Remember, friend good, gaydar BAD...

I think I'm also going to delete myself from faceparty...there just seems to be no point to it. Nobody ever sends me a message, and I mostly appear dark and freaky (no snickering in the back!) so it may just have to go the way of my gaydar profile. Into CyberHell.
I am however on www.gayromeo.com, which is fairly good, not just all about sex - thought it's there for those who want - and I've had a fair few nice messages from it. As for fitlads, well...I think I;m gonna delete myself from there as well. The online profile thing just doesn't seem right anymore...
Maybe I'll channel all my onlineage into rectifying the few websites I've created. I used to love htmling all night, so I think it's time to go back to what I know

i've never heard of those profiles you mentioned. i rarely get messages but i generally never reply anyway.
the other week i let someone obsessed with Aeris from FF7 add me to their msn. his name was Aeris and had a msn pic of her dying. he amused me for a few minutes before i got totally freaked out and deleted him.

the most annoying thing about him is the use of pictures for words such as LOL. drove me mad.
