    I never thought about purposely leaving clues but, my "Interested in" thing is blank like a lot of other people and I'm starting to think everyone kind of had the same idea about that one lol
    And I support some pro-gay groups and such.
    I sometimes think that maybe saying I'm a Muslim might cancel out any 'clues' that tell people I'm gay but, almost everyone who meets me asks me if I am... so I don't know *shrug* :slight_smile:

    there is no info there, but the lack might be indicative, in any case, my favourite music includes http://pitchfork.tv/videos/sigur-ros-vidrar-vel-til-loftarasa and my favourite movies are Loving Annabelle, Imagine Me and You, Rosencrantz and Cuildenstern are Dead, Stick It, Princess of Thieves, later days, and better than chocolate

    I just tell it like it is, if people have a problem with anything there they can say it to my face. So far nobody has :slight_smile:

    Can't stand new Facebook though - Bebo doesn't have any cues about relationship status apart from "My Other Half" and I don't have a Myspace because I can't stand the site (apart from the fact Gojira have streamed their new album there!).

    No I don't think so because like 50% of the people I know don't have it and pretty sure they are straight. It's annoying more people should have it filled in! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Also when someone has "interested: Women, men" I can't tell if they might think it means for friendship or what. T.T

    Why can't they just have "orientation: gay/bi/straight"

    I hate the way "interested in: men" sounds. Not interested in "MEN" im interested in guys my own age... not... Men...

    I'm am not out to anyone but if people actually really look at my profile they should be able to find out that I am gay because of some of my fan pages. I have become a fan of a lot of gay right's pages for Prop. 8, Referendum 71 (which extended rights to gay and lesbian couples here in washington state), and gay marriage in general. If I ever had anyone directly ask me if I was gay i would say yes but that has never happened and I don't have the guts right now to come out. But it will happen VERY soon. My myspace page is also similar in info but I only check it probably once a month.

    If someone doesn't have "Interested In" filled in, or put up, or if they appear pretty gay in their pictures or other activiites, then I can guess that they're not straight. Then again you never know..

    If it's not there AND they have everything else, then I think it's weird. Some people just have very little up and they're straight; they're just more cautionary/private.

    There was a story out of MIT. Some kids devised a way to tell, if someone on facebook was gay or not regardless of their profile information. The number one indicator....The number of male friends you have. The higher the count the higher the chance of being identified as gay. It doesnt work with lesbians or bisexuals. They are planning to reasearch it a little better and turn it into an iPhone app.

    Yes, it's a dead giveaway. In fact, a straight friend of mine was messing around with his facebook profile, and when he removed the "Interested In" field from his profile, his facebook started showing him gay ads. When he put it back to "Interested in Women", the gay ads went away. As for mine...
