Do you assume someone is gay by what they are wearing?

Do you think gay men dress a certain way?
Have you ever seen someone and assumed they were gay because of what they were wearing? There used to be certain "looks" and images perceived as being a very gay look but, as more and more straight men seem to follow gay fashion statements, can you now tell if someone is gay simply by his look?

We cannot definitely pinpoint a man if he's a gay if we judge what they are wearing unless they wear bra.

nope! some gays are not wearing the right thing for them. i mean some are cross dressers some are not. you can't really base your judgment on the physical look of a person. also, being judgmental is a bad habit so better take that away from your attitude list he he

I can tell if they are gay usually by the way they act and talk, clothing dos'nt say gay or straight, usually the way they speak and act gives gay men away.

i think more and more straight guys are into trendy and fashion stuffs, they're called metrosexuals if i'm not mistaken. and it's kinda hard to tell sometimes. but sometimes it's easy because the 'straight looking gay guy' is surounded by his obvious looking gay friends around him :) but if he's a lone, probably harder to guess. i dunno.

i dont think gay men dress a certain way but i do think they have that special shake to them lol. it use to be that pink on a man was gay but when my son wears a pink shirt he has i think he looks gorgeous in it and he is no where near being gay. so i really dont think its how they dress.

I think I dress gay, especially when I go out clubbing.
I hadn't been home for a few years cos I had moved away and was only back to see some friends. Anyway, we went clubbing in a straight club.
I did worry a little because I thought I was dressed really gay that night but when I got into the club, most of the straight boys looked gayer than me

No, I have found some straight men to be just as stylish as most gay men are. For me I can usualy tell by the way some of them speak, you know like in that high pitched voice or how they say things like honey and girlfriend a lot.
