Lol, even I forget sometimes.
You are probably right Mel - I failed the gay written test and probably wouldn't fare much better at a visual one.

When I mentioned the eyes - it was the almond shape which was similar in males who I've known to be gay - young and old. Outlaw Yogi mentioned the Pineal gland being larger in gay males and interestingly the function of this gland relates back to the eyes, although I'm not sure it influences the shape.

The pineal gland has been implicated in a number of disorders including cancer, sexual dysfunction, hypertension, epilepsy, and Paget's disease. The pineal gland calcifies with age and melatonin production correspondingly decreases. This decline in melatonin has been suggested to be a trigger for the aging process.

Environmental stresses affect pineal function, impacting overall body alertness, temperature levels, and hormone operation. Stresses that affect pineal function include unusual light and dark rhythms, radiation, magnetic fields, nutritional imbalances, temperature swings, high altitude, and overall daily stress patterns.

Melatonin, if any of these claims turn out to be substantial, is a powerful body chemical, with important implications for human functioning, especially (I would suggest) for blind and visually impaired individuals. If light inhibits melatonin production, then blind individuals lack a mechanism for balancing the melatonin levels in the blood.

I used to be able to tell who had Alzheimers, but now I forget how I did it.
