I have always been sexually attracted exclusively to men. This article says there is an abnormally high occurance of the following 3 traits in gay men.
1. Hair whorls counter clockwise
2. Left handed
3. Younger sibling of older brother
I matched on all 3 traits. I wonder how many of these traits match up for our community members here.

I do not share any of them.
Hair whorls clockwise, Right handed, and First Born with just one younger sister.

What hair? It used to part to the right, but I can't remember back that far.
Right handed.

LOL I find these studies exceedingly strange! And way too misleading especially for a younger reader, I mean I think it would be way more reasonable for it to be ok for people to experiment when they start getting curious about what turns them on. I know while I have always been primarily attracted to other males I found no harm and a good bit of fun in youthful explorations of the main erogenous zone, that being the one between our ears and behind our eyes. ::-)
But then I am a pretty good poster boy for how not to behave. 
Thank you Beetles “Happiness is a warm gun, bang bang shoot shoot” Thank G-d for hot blooded teen boys! I do wish I could go back and do it all over again, I had a great time for the most part even when it was with a girl.

Other's just come to harm

I score 0 out of 3.
Hair doesn't whorl anticlock, strongly right-handed & elder of two brothers.
But I don't fit into any pattern that has been tried on me. I filled in one of those questionnaires on a dating site; it reported that there was a suitable partner for me in Bristol called acam! (But only 94% compatible!
I wonder which bit of my character I don't like. I thought I was a fairly accepting sort of guy!
Aren't these things all a joke?
Love,
Anthony

I don't understand the first.
I'm right handed.
Only child.
Seems to be that kind of survey that misleads or somehow is rather meant for fun....

Mark, Bratnik,
The article says that these traits appear among gays more commonly than they do among the general population, to an extent that they are statistically signifucant. That just points out an area for subsequent research. It does not mean you have to exhibit these characteristics to be gay. I posted because I was shocked that the article nailed me on all 3 things. I wondered how widespread the combination of characteristics would be. From this survey we are evidently looking at something akin to 1.2% in the gay population vs 1% in the overall population. BTW my grandparents were from county Spiss. So how do you like the Euro?

Bald is beautiful, JFR. But if you used to part pn the right, chances are you are a counter clockwise whorler or else you always had a lock of standup hair like a rooster tail because you parted against the lay of the hair.

Macky, I don't think I would mind being bald: it's the fact the remnants of what was once a good head of hair still remain to mock me that makes me sigh.

Yes, your "little boy" hair in the picture is beautiful. Think of the Gestalt of your hair still living in cyberland.

I am sorry, but I find this type of statistical study generally not credible. Had a good laugh last week reading about a study claiming that children conceived by older men were generally "less smart" (my father was 48 years when I was conceived ;-D). Now I know why I went through my school years always surrounded by kids 2 years older than me ... 
B.t.w., I am right handed and a second son.I have a younger brother who is left handed and straight. The hair thing I do not understand, so I can't comment on it either way.

None of the above apply to me...

There has been a rapid decline in the number of pirates during a period in which global temperatures have been seen to have been increasing. That doesn't mean having less pirates is linked to global warming.
