Does this mean I am gay?

The fact that I can judge the attractiveness between male faces quite easily does that mean I am gay?

Apparently straight men have a harder time judging the attractiveness between other males.

Not unless you have a sexual desire for another man.

This is a psychological test to help you explore your sexual orientation. If you are looking for a test to find out if you are "gayyy", first realize that using "gay" as an adjective is mean, then go elsewhere.

This test works on the principle that people are better at judging the attractiveness of people they themselves are attracted to. For example, most heterosexual men report that they can easily judge the attractiveness of women, but would have a hard time ranking their male friends. In this test you have to rank the attractiveness of a series of individuals and your responses will be compared to homosexual and heterosexual patterns. This test not professional and no test can be very accurate, however data shows that this has reasonable discriminating power. More about how this measure was developed can be found here.
The Gay Test

That quiz has about as much (very little) value has Comey's opening statement.

You're gay if you're a man who wants to be intimate with a man.

You want to kiss a man deeply.

You want to caress a man like a man would caress a woman (or vice versa).

You want to be romantic with a man.

You get turned on by men, and have crushes on men.

If none of these things are true, you are not gay.

I have stroked my dad and my brother a few times and when I was younger I did stroke my dads chest hair playfully and pinch his belly sometimes.

But when I go out to bars/clubs i am A LOT more turned on by women than men. Some men have even come up to me and kissed me randomly but it did nothing for me beside freak me out.

When I go at the moment I get hit on by more men than women which is worrying. I think women though are more reserved with there feelings than men are though.

You were a kid then. And it was your dad and brother.

Doesn't make you gay.

Classic aspie over-analysing.

A good way to tell whether you're gay: the thought of being with a man makes you happy.

I kinda think Asperger sexuality is less concrete though, or maybe that's just me.

I had this problem when I was single & wanting a relationship. The only people interested in me were guys & I considered having a relationship with a guy just so I wouldn't be alone. The idea of sex with a man freaked me out thou & I was afraid that the main reason they were interested in me was sexual attraction.

So you were sexually attracted to only girls, and not guys?

I'm glad you found out----before you were stuck with some guy who might get aggressive with you, even though you have no desire for intimacy with him.

Something like that.
Thanx

Heh, I took the test for fun. Got 150 - wow I'm bisexual, who knew (sarcasm )
That link doesn't work by the way. Plus some of those sample pictures didn't work for me.
What is this test based on anyway, the researchers' own subjective opinions of attractiveness? Some of those pictures were a bit skewed too - some pulling weird faces that made them look less attractive than if they were smiling or just neutral. And are they taking into account the differences between sexually attractive and aesthetically attractive? Example there is one picture there of a girl, wearing little makeup it looks like, with her hair everywhere, but she is smiling and has bright eyes. I would find her aesthetically attractive because she looks happy and carefree, she has a nice smile and beautiful eyes. It has little to do with wanting such a woman sexually.
People often are able to judge the attractiveness of a face based on their preferences of things like eye colour, hair colour, grooming, etc as well as most people tend to automatically favour symmetrical features.
I'd be suspicious that many heterosexual men claim they cannot judge the attractiveness of their male friends out of homophobia. If they were honest and said they thought their mates were pretty damn hot, ohhh no, that means they're gay. Some heterosexual men can be ridiculously insecure about this. They assume that even admitting another man is nice looking means they're gay and they're incredibly threatened by appearing gay to other people. So they don't admit it. They maintain they're a 100% red-blooded straight man and no way would they ever be able to tell if their mates are lookers or not, because they're not *gasp* gay.
I find the best way to test out your sexual orientation is by ... adult means. Fantasize about both men and women, and see if that "works" so to speak. If you can get over the proverbial hill with fantasies about both, then I'd say you're not heterosexual, maybe bisexual. If you're a man and you can only get turned on by women, or visa versa, straight may be your definition. Same applies to same sex fantasy - if only your own birth sex does if for you, maybe homosexual.

I can tell the attractiveness between different kinds of trees. It doesn't mean I want to have sex with trees.

I guess that's more like seeing beauty and not attractiveness.

perhaps no. im a male and almost everyone i meet "regardless the gender/age or sexual orientation i believe" wants to talk longer to me to look at my beauty from a short distance.

I have a similar but different problem. I don't really feel like that towards anybody, not men or women. I just don't really feel much about sex. It's something one can do perfectly well without. People are supposed to want to at some point, but I just don't feel like that towards anyone. I might consider someone handsome, but not feel that towards them. I just don't feel any sexual desire at all. I suppose I have very good control over it?
