It's a term that means, "I can sense that person is gay" Like radar, only gaydar.

"Radar - a means or sense of awareness or perception"
Adding "Gay" just sets the scope...For sho...

It's a term meaning one has the ability identify those that are LGBT....like picking up on their "vibes" I suppose. Funny enough, my gaydar works better identifying men than women!

measuring instrument (in this case, our brain) in which the echo of a pulse of microwave radiation is used to detect and locate homosexuals? :P

Not real sure. Only time I've ever heard the term was on a talk show where they exposed guys who were flying "under the gaydar" meaning that they would make women think they were gay and not a threat, so as to gain an advantage or inside track with the hidden intention of having sex with them. There was one guy that would make these women think they were "converting" him to heterosexuality. Playing on their ego that they are just that "powerfully beautiful" and irresistible. It was freakin brilliant!

It's not an actual device or any kind of physical object, its just how people refer to their "psychic" ability to sense another person's sexuality.
All it really is, is that people make assumptions based on a person's choice of clothing, their tone of voice, hand gestures, their reaction towards certain things, etc.
Gaydar is just a very crude term for these kinds of judgements.

Someone's ability to spot Homosexuals without them telling...kinda weird really.
Unless it's a man dressed a a woman...then you don't really need a gaydar...you need eyes....

It is a term idiots use to say that there are gay people around.
Example:
2 "men" sitting in a pub having a couple of beers. One of them sees a gay couple walk in and says to the other...
"Do not look now, my gaydar is beeping".
It is kind of similar to radar, but aimed at detecting gay people.

Your a dude, a dude looks over at you and you say... wow he is a nice dude... You have no gaydar
You a dude, a dude lokes over at you and you say, wow what a fag...
You have good gaydar
You see a hot girl walking past.. whats the first thing you automatically look at on her.

You're reading I have heard the term "gaydar" before, but never totally understood its meaning. What does this term mean exactly?
