I think that's more of a tell on your own insecurities if the notion makes you uncomfortable. You can't tell if someone is gay, even if there are some trends/social queues.

    I feel that was covered by saying "trends/social queues"

    "Gaydar" is just making a guess based on social queues. Maybe it's an educated guess but it is a guess.

    no, that’s how someone straight would guess….
    gaydar is more of an intuition

    Intuition - "quick and ready insight; the power of knowing things without conscious reasoning."

    Iunno, I think that's covered by "social cueues and tendencies". Your intuition is still fueled by the things you perceive and isn't magic, or necessarily accurate.

    But the trends and social queues are important for how people view you, and how people view you has a big impact on your life. e.g. imagine you were trying to flirt with people but everyone you talk to assumes that you're not into their gender.
