Gaydar exists!

[swestrup]

I've always been somewhat skeptical of those who claimed they could tell who was gay, and who not. I've certainly never been good at figuring it out. However recent studies have shown that most folks can (with 70% accuracy) determine the sexual orientation of someone from looking at their face for 1/10th of a second.

The researchers wonder what else we can reliably work out about someone from a simple glance.

Give me a random cross-section of the population at zero seconds' examination apiece, and I'll be right somewhere between 90 and 97% of the time, depending on whose statistics you believe.
