MIT runs "Gaydar" experiment on Facebook

[Valmy]

Well, I kinda agree but then again straight people talk about their sexuality in many ways that does not involve sex - how many times have you heard about someone's wife or kids or whatnot? Of course that's fucking boring too.

Well yeah if you lived with a partner and spent all your time with him, he would probably come up in conversations also.

I hardly think talking about the people who, you know, live with you is some sort of bizarre straight characteristic.

What gay equivalents are there? Our furniture?

Still, by my description, would you say I'm in a closet?

No.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I think I'm mostly "closeted" because I don't have a stable relationship at the moment and thus, indeed, talking about my relationships would be talking about sex, as garbon says. If I was in a stable relationship, I suppose I would have naturally come out of the closet, without the need to talk about sex.

You can talk about your dog or your botox shots.

Do either of us have a dog?

Hey Valmy, why do you always have to take my posts about straight people in their most heterophobic interpretation. I was responding to garbon's post that references to one's sexuality in conversations must mean talking about sex - by showing examples of why it doesn't have to be the case. Relax.

No, but I could get one.

Well you did say you find those heterosexual topics to be boring.

Anyway, I think you proved my case on the gay front.

Because I have taken a love to vitriolic languish-like rants on this site.  I think all my years here have gotten to me

Also you said we were dull

[garbon]

No, but I could get one.

You could also get a girlfriend (and not in the "oh, girlfriend, you'll never believe what I just heard" sort of way).

[Martinus]

Well I find most gay people dull too.

Nah. It's enough my "boyfriends" do that.

Actually, they are called college students.
