Today I received another one of those queries — it’s been a common thread among several recent questions I received in email and through SMS:
Migs, I’m a girl and I have a boyfriend who I love so dearly. I however have this horrible hunch he is gay. Please Migs, help me, how do I know if he’s gay? What are the signs? Please Migs, I want to know! Help!
So on behalf of all these confused girls who suspect that their boyfriends might be gay, I summon the kindness of MGG readers, do pitch in, how would you answer their question: how do I know if the guy’s gay?

basically, if your guy loves to take pictures of himself in such weirdest and nakakalokang angles and shots plus meron siyang overly oozing narcissitic personality… for sure hindi ka niya mahal… mas mahal niya ang sarili niya, which is one prominent characteristic of straight acting gay guys. pero hindi naman lahat, eto basic parameter lang.

No brainer iyan, sister. Kaya nga ginivsung kayo ng kipay intuition, davah? Now all you need to figure out is, kung sino ang mas mahaba ang trail ng gown kapag humarap na kayo sa dambanah. LOL

If you have a horrible hunch that he is, then it’s most likely true. trust your instincts.

A Guy Is Gay When:
1. He has gay porn links on his browsing history on his computer.
2. When he has more than enough gay friends AND they tell you so that he’s gay
(i.e. almost all of them? lol)
3. When he always talk about other guys more than you lol.
4. When he says so. (just ask okay, nothing beats that)
[Reply]
if he is a metrosexual
yung bang isang metro nalang bakla na
‘wink’
[Reply]
You should observe him in his unguarded moments whenever he meets cute hot guys. Usually in that scene, gay guys make longer eye contacts than straight guys do (that is, kung type nya yung other guy) . If you are still in doubt, ask another discreet gay guy to do the observation. However, you should not worry if you’re boyfriend is gay or not. As long as you feel that he loves you and you love him back, you just have to deal with trust issues and both of you can actually make it work.
[Reply]
just ask him… if he says yes… e di confirmed…. pag may explanation pa bago sabihin na NO, hay naku ‘day…. bading sya
[Reply]
If you’re not sure if your man is straight, that’s probably because he’s not. That’s usually the first sign.
The only sure way is to ask him. He may try to lie but it’s likely that you’d be able to tell from his reaction alone.
[Reply]
Bakit di nalang tayo mag-organize ng grand judging ng mga pinaghihinalaang mga bading… hehehe… tapos lahat ng readers ng MGG ang judges… May hawak tayong mga plakards nakalagay dun GAY or NOT! itataas natin mga sagot natin habang rumarampa sa stage ang mga dina-judge… hehehe
[Reply]
If you doubt that he’s gay enough for you to ask a gay blogger about it, then he’s gay.
[Reply]
Does he enjoy “working out” in Fitness First???
[Reply]
When you go out, does his face have a matte finish or kinda oily? If it’s matte, he’s most definitely wearing Mac.
[Reply]
if he doesn’t want to be found out, it would be difficult for you to know his true nature. asking him out right will just strengthen his defenses. one thing you can do is watch together a gay-themed movie which should start a conversation on this topic. you can then make it clear that even though you can love a gay person as a friend, you can never be involved romantically with a gay man. if he is gay, he will get the hint and it will be up to him to make the next move. hopefully, if he is gay, he will open-up to you. if he is not gay he will agree with you.
[Reply]
For me it does not matter if he is gay or not as long as you love each other.
There are things better left unsaid. Mahirap din umamin dahil minsan kahit sarili mo ay ayaw maniwala. Ito ay base sa iyong orientation.
Mahalaga ay he is faithful to you at walang extra curricular. Siyempre, he loves you.
[Reply]
Eto ang tandaan mo:
1. Masyadong neat and mabango pa sa iyo
2. Kung mag english talagang minding the p’s t’s and the f’s
3. kung mag english aba mala dina bonnevie ang accent
4. Pag naglalakad talagang catwalk ang drama
5. pag nag uusap kayo ang topic ay esoteric hala ka maghinala ka na
6. mild drinker ang drama bad for health daw ang totoo ayaw malasing baka lumabas ang naturalesa
7. Walang sports gym lang kasi mas maraming body of evidence sa gym hahahaha
[Reply]
you have sex right? kung no, confirmed.. kung yes, nag eenjoy ba siya?
[Reply]
1. if he cares about his hair that much
2. If he talks about other guys more often
3. If he cares that much on the type of dress you wear, and suggests what colors that fit u everytime you are in shopping malls
4. If he rushingly replyign text messages from a cute guy friend(xmpre dapat nakita mo na yung nakita mo na) of him
5. try to ask him watch staright porno, and try to observe him where his focus is…
[Reply]
leave a gay mag and a straight mag in the room and observe him secretly.
[Reply]
Do try to understand that he may also not know what he wants yet. He maybe 20yrs. old with an emotional maturity of an 8yr. old. Generalizing here, gay men supposedly have a slower emotional maturity rate than straight boys and girls of their age. Why? Because they typically do not have someone to look up to. What if his answer to himself is “I don’t know.” How will you deal with it? (I myself was in three hetero relationships before I decided that I don’t like it, from the age 15-19).
I think the question is not whether your boyfriend is gay. The question is, will you ever stop asking that question? Will it eat away your trust? Asking him the question, “Are you gay?” will only lead to a bad breakup or a forced sexual intercourse that neither of you are ready (if you haven’t done it yet). If you feel the relationship is going to go nowhere…. well the question isn’t really important anymore is it?
[Reply]
the fact that you’re in doubt — yun na!
[Reply]
have him watch any Coco Martin movie…take it from there
[Reply]
sistah! if you can’t ask him directly, try to employ your gaybestfriend to do the homework.
[Reply]
A guy is *gay* when he thinks or says he’s gay. “Gayness” is a social construct that requires personal identification. Huwag ipilit sa isang tao ang isang ngalan (label) na hindi naman niya nais para sa sarili niya.
None the less, most Filipinos are confused with their own definitions of gay. Some use it as a synonym for ‘homosexual’, some for ‘effeminate’, some both! It’s crazy if you ask me.
As for one’s attraction to the same sex, cliched as this may sound, it is all natural. Humans are bisexual animals. We are attracted to whoever is *hot* regardless of gender. Sadly, repression gets in the way. Thanks to the Churchies.

Miss, if you love your man and you’re sure he loves you, none of this will ever matter. Just make sure that you talk to him more about this than you talk to others. Be open.

ask what is his favorite character in the x-men series if he answers storm Bingo! but if he choses cyclops dont be so thankful>> he’s just wondering how beautiful cyclop’s body is. LOL

Girl,
Not to say anything to detract to your distress, but honestly if you love the guy even his gayness is under consideration for acceptance, oui n’est pas?
So on the other hand, these give away signs are part of a spectrum, as all gayness is. So take a deep breath.
1. How does he view himself? How does he view gays?
I suspect many guys who are closeted either do the avoidance dance or do the opposite, use you as their sheild from the sharp truth
2. How does he view you? Or how does he view other women?
I suspect that being with a guy, sharing stuff you’d see how he sees women in relation to every thing else, even his mom, or his sister or you, or some other girl. Are you the enemy? the nice friend? or the quick cover me girl?
3. How is he with his friends? What are his friends?
Most guys who are scared to be labelled gay, don’t have gay friends. Else they are doing each other, watch for suspicious intimacies.
4. Is he a religious nut? An overly driven I have to give my all to some kind of cause guy?
The term here is sublimation. Go figure.
And lastly,
He probably has been talking on MIgs blog.
So there.

Sorry but for me this is the most inane answer:
“For me it does not matter if he is gay or not as long as you love each other.
There are things better left unsaid. Mahirap din umamin dahil minsan kahit sarili mo ay ayaw maniwala. Ito ay base sa iyong orientation.
Mahalaga ay he is faithful to you at walang extra curricular. Siyempre, he loves you.”
WHAT?!?!?

Ben : Una, ang mga baklita kahit may GF, chuchupa at chuchupa yan (to put it bluntly) Pangalawa, kung ikaw kapatid mo yung girl, at kwatang yung jowa nya, PAPAYAG KA?
i rest my case.
[Reply]
Im 16…. madarama mo yun… di epektin yang mga signs even though minsan totoo..
[Reply]
Ate just feel the answer to your question. If you feel he is gay, YUN NA!!! Look for another ka na acheng. Life is so precious for a girl to waste on a gay man. Spare yourself the trouble of asking the same question after your married to him.
[Reply]
GAy will always be gay–kahit ikahon pa yan–lalabas at lalabas yan– siguro hindi mo na problema ang ganyang bagay–if youre boyfriend knew to himself he is gay–he will let you go and be with a straight guy
i broke up with my girl because i have confirmed to myself na gay ako when i fell in love with my cute bestfrend–the thing is, wag na tyo idealistic about sa buhay–the point is, may karapatan kang sumaya sa piling ng tunay na lalake–at hindi sa isang nagkukunwari lang–magiging masaya din yun sa knya pag ni let go kana–
youre boyfrend should be MAN enough to face his real identity-be happy and GAy
[Reply]
Just an opinion: it is not proper to ask someone about his sexuality.
Girl - if you find out he’s gay, what’s next?
if you’re just interested in finding out ways on finding out if a person is gay or not (for your own personal pleasure of knowing “it” first), there’s this book in national book store (title: gaydar).
Good luck!

ay sis machuvaneska k to death pagnadiscovery channel mo na ang smelly ng b.f mo kya search k nlng ng new……..kaso karamihan sa kanila jungit nam good luck gurl
[Reply]
better get a hint - if your bf - dress up like tim yap. always know and suggest the latest trend for you. also straight guys don’t know how to wear proper socks with their shoes. if your bf wear sports (thick) sock with his leather shoes, he is a guy. if not get a hint.
also if he is lousy with his fashion taste like most real guys do, i mean not really into details with his stuff, he is not gay.
this is just my observation because i am gay but i grew up around strait guys and boys
[Reply]
“When you go out, does his face have a matte finish or kinda oily? If it’s matte, he’s most definitely wearing Mac.” HAHAHAHA.
And when after an hour, his face kinda turn shimmery, EVER BILENA yun. HAHAHAHHA

When you go out on a date and carries your shoulder bag for you, do you have a hard time getting it back? Sometimes to the point that you remind him that you’re already at your doorstep and still he never hands it back to you? Eeww…
[Reply]
SO WHAT IF HE’S GAY? IF YOU LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES YOU BACK, YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT HIM AS HIM. homosexuality doesn’t limit someone. even if you’re a homosexual you just won’t know the person you’ll fall in lov with. accept him as he is.
[Reply]
Easy for you to say Siegfried. What if the girl is your sister? Would you allow her to have a fag as bf? Let’s not be hypocrites here.
Personally, if my sister had a fag for a bf, i’d make sure he doesn’t suck a single dick as long as he is my sister’s bf. Now, if you say I can’t really be sure coz I wont be able to say if he’d been munching on a dick or eating some cute guy’s ass as diversion, then I’ve proven my point : YOU CAN’T TRUST A FAG WHEN A LONG, PINK AND AMAZING DICK COMES ALONG BECOZ HE WILL ALWAYS CRAVE THAT. Once a fag, always a fag.
[Reply]
Saw this in HOW TO SPOT GAYS OR BIs :
“I saw an episode in Oprah where they discussed “DL”– Down Low.. About black guys who were into girls and guys. At the same time ha. Malas nung mga babae kasi di nila alam na yung bf/asawa nila e nakikipagsx sa ibang lalake din.. unprotected pa. Kaya nagka HIV sila.
Nakaka-alarm yung episode kasi marami rin palang ganun at parang helpless na ang babae. Kaya kailangan mo talgang malaman kung BI nga ang bf mo. Wala namang sign na bi sila e. Lalakeng-lalake ang mga kilos at hitsura nila. Sabi nung isang DL guy dun, it takes one to know one daw. And the most common pick up places daw was the church. With a single look in the eye, they knew who was BI. Tsk tsk.. I dunno if that can be applied in the Phils but it kinda makes you think, noh?”
Now, Seigfried etal : Would you want a sister, a friend, a classmate, an officemate etc. to suffer like this?
I don’t think so.
[Reply]
@Maldito,
That’s because you already set a rule what a homosexual should be. We’re all unique. Each homosexuals are uniqe. Like what I’ve posted before, If the boyfriend truly loves his girlfriend then there would be no problem at all. You love each other and that’s it. You just can’t let other people use your sexuality as a reason because you can’t choose the one you will love.
[Reply]
Siggy : I’ve no problem with a girl seeing a fag as long as he doesn’t suck, touch, kiss, lick, somebody else’s dick during their relationship.
Question : Do you know a relationship bet a boy and a fag that didn’t involve infidelity in the part of the fag?
If the answer is yes. I’ll shut up.

i have a friend. we met online. we had sex. not just once. i would say we were both on the downlow. i liked him because my gaydar cant detect a single bleep from him, he is too straight to be gay, and same as what he thinks of me. we almost fell for each other, but i backed out, he was just too sexually active. we really became good friends tho, i was even one of the abays on his wedding. we always kept in touch. i was his confidante. i asked him if he ever had sex with guys after his marriage. none he said, which i think is true. he and his wife lived together in an apartment. they now a have a baby boy. aside from his regular work, hes got sidelines. hes just too busy to fuck around. i would visit them from time to time. when we get out as a group for a play, he would hurriedly excuse off after the game to go home to his family. he’s putting curfew to himself. one time during a usual exchange of texts, i was confiding some life issues, and asked him how’s life treating him so far, and asked him about his married life now, and the usual urges. he barraged back and summed ”nakita ko na use ko d2 sa planet earth. hahaha”. i know the guy, he’s not bluffing. he sucked dick, he fucked bottom guys like a horse. miracle it may seem, but hes totally changed. So if i would be asked if it’s ok for him to marry my sister, i would say YES. I know hes not str8, but definitely hes no longer active gay. Hes got a big heart. He loves his wife dearly. He loves his son dearly.
HIM, i would allow my sister to marry. Pero kung si Ogie Diaz, eww no way hosey. hehehee

whats written above before my comment are true, its impossible in this generation you dont know who is he? come on dont cheat yourself, look how he decorated his house or room, second the color he use frequently. i am not against anybody, i like looking cute guys also, because i m not handsome. i used to look carefully how did they make up themselves to let people look at them, if this also consider you are a gay too. wala na lalake sa mundo,i admit i m gay, but d nagwawala kahit anong oras. i just appreciate their outlook.
