HOW GOOD IS YOUR GAYDAR?

Here is an interesting story. It looks like both men and woman, after seeing someone, make the judgement if that person is gay or not.. According to the article many have good gaydar.

It turns out that people make their decisions within 50 milliseconds of seeing someone, and that first instinct is accurate the majority of the time, according to research by Nick Rule and Nalini Ambady of Tufts University who have a study in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

Twenty-two male and sixty-eight female undergrads were presented with photos of 90 men's faces (half were homosexual) for either 33ms, 50ms, 6500ms or 10,000ms. The anonymous photos were taken from an internet dating site where posters stated their sexual orientation. Any photos featuring facial hair, glasses or jewelery were not used.

At 33ms, the presentation was too quick for the students to consciously 'see' the faces and, perhaps unsurprisingly, their ability to determine the men's sexuality was no better than if they were simply guessing. However, at 50ms - just long enough for the faces to be consciously seen - the students' accuracy grew to 57 per cent, which is significantly better than chance performance. [SOURCE]

Wow.. Craziness.. So someone is saying if u look at someone long enough ur chances of guessing whether they are gay or not can double. Hmmm.. Interesting stuff.. I guess they should have used a picture of my boyfriend.. No one would have guessed him for being gay.. STUMP THEM ALL!!
