It might say something about how they think about sexual orientation, but the correlation with actual orientation is hazy at best (IMHO).

Do gay people call it "straightdar"?

[gemini6ice.livejournal.com]

For women, not really. For men, yes. The average straight man has no need to sense gay men, and so the use of "gaydar" would not be pertinent to him.

I don't think you have to be gay to notice when a man grooms to attract men vs attracting women, just observant. Equally the way people act around the opposite sex. Maybe Real Manly Men aren't supposed to pay attention to things like that, but that speaks more about how homophobic american men are than anything else.

It really just carries an implication about how cool the speaker thinks he is or is not. What implication? Depends on context. (And the masculine pronoun is intended, thanks)
