I have seen threads started by gay guys who seem to have a thorough understanding of womens' action due to their their close relationships with them over the years, but unlike women they are frank in telling it like it is to guys on this forum.

I have noticed, throughout my life but mostly the past few years (when I have improved my appearance), that I am noticed by gay men a lot. Usually in general interactions in public settings. I have had a few gay men that knew me admit to having crushes on me etc. Also on a slightly more disturbing note - I seem to be "checked out" by older men and sometimes other straight men as well

However, I have noticed no such signals from women. Far less than gay men, older people, and even other men.

What could be the reason for this?
