Yes, people think I'm gay quite often. I don't mind, though. They're half right.

Yes. I guess I am sending out that kind of vibes.
My mother gave birth to four sons before me, so (at least some studies suggest, that) my brain could be more female than the average guy's brain.
I don't watch sports, nor do I fix cars or bikes. The stereotypical male role just does not fit me.
I have had romantic relationships solely with females. I have however kissed and cuddled with a guy sometimes, so I guess I am not strictly straight, eihter

Yes, I have been told "you're a fag" several times in my youth - the last time I recall hearing it was at the age of 23, and it started when I was 14. One guy at a house party at college, who'd been harassing me on and off about it, sarcastically yelled at me that he wanted to "do me up the a**" and got his imbecile buddies to laugh along, I guess he wanted an audience, but it sucked for me. 
At the age of 18, another guy in a grocery store where I worked part-time would yell to my co-workers that I was a "limp-wrist" - it made no sense to me at the time, I thought mabye he's just a latent homosexual (which is true in many cases, the closet-case becomes the persecutor), but in retrospect I surmised that it had something to do with my nonverbal & motor-skill deficiencies being observed while I worked.
Remember what Seinfeld said: "guys who are thin, neat, and single are thought to be gay". Well, I was perpetually single, but well built, and not really neat - I was kind of messy like your absent-minded professor. I was also a moderate follower of sports, and enjoyed cars, and went to the gym fairly regularly. So, process of elimination, it clearly came down to my non-verbal and motor skill deficiencies.

This has only happened when I've been hit on by gay men, sorry fellas 
On one occasion, it was a reasonably close and long-term buddy and he couldn't just be a friend which was a big bummer. Fit pants implicates being gay I guess?

Quite a lot as a teen & by some girls I worked with till I asked them out & then they got b!thcy with me about it
~I HATE sports.
~I'm NOT into doing bro/guy stuff
~I'm sensitive.
~I'm very emotionally supportive.
~I'm sort of on the asexuality spectrum so I don't ogle women like guys are expected to.
~I like pop music & soft light rock love songs.
~I like some chick flicks & some TV shows straight guys are not supposed to like.
~I sometimes move kinda awkwardly or say awkward things.
If I was a decade younger & dressed more like a girl; people would assume I'd be an EMO

I've gotten this one a few times, mostly online but sometimes off as well. It's much funnier offline, as my appearance is very masculine and I have stereotypically straight male habits and hobbies and people are usually embarrassed for having made the mistake when I point these out. I honestly think it's because of my earrings, I have 3 in my left ear and 1 in my left, and people actually think this is some sort of gay signal...

OMG, that's wild----I've had the same thing happen!! I don't know where your earrings are, cuz you said "left", twice----but, I have 3 or 4 in my RIGHT ear, and ONE in my LEFT, and my sister said: "Left is right, and right is wrong" (meaning, if it's [an additional earring] in your RIGHT ear, it means you are gay).
So, YEAH, in response to this really old, though still relevant, thread, I've had lots of people throughout my life, thinking I was gay----and also, those who actually ARE, never thought it!! I'm guessing it was because the only, sort-of, "girly" thing I did, was being into fashion. I thought hanging-out, talking about boys, and giggling was silly----I wanted to be with / around people from whom I could learn; for instance, I really LOVE cars, and used to race on a quarter-mile strip (street-legal), and that's almost ALL guys----but, I was LEARNING, so I did what I liked.
