@Eastmanarium, I actually live in the midwest :P As I said, I've only seen it a hand full of times, and those who DO know what they are into already know what colors to look for, so it's not as hard as it seems if you look ahead of time.
@Eastmanarium There is limited use in some Urbanized settings, such as the city, and some times nearby suburbs. Although I've only seen it on a handful of occasions, those who usually display it are often the fastest ones approached by others.
As great as the system sounds for gay guys to find who they're looking for, say, in a crowded nightclub or beat, it's seems like there's a lot of potential for confusion. For instance: a yellow hanky DOES indicate a pee fetish, but a pale yellow hanky indicates a drool fetish, and a gold hanky indicates looking for a threesome. Maybe this is why most gay guys have great color coordination. XD
@sheadatear Displaying them on the wrists isnt the part for bandannas or hankies, but is usually done through the rubberband/ jellybands that were very popular in the early 2000s. Some school settings and work places actually banned students and workers from wearing them because of this. Check up on "jelly band meanings" on google for this.
I'll take your word for it-I was going off what someone told me, and he was getting his info verified by an internet site, so plenty of room for mistakes!
Someone should tell this to that Mexican Kings gang. They're going around wearing red and yellow bandannas (saw it on the discovery channel or something). They could get themselves into some... interesting situations.
Wow. I had no idea that being gay was so complicated. Seems like a lot of work doesn't it? I mean the poor guys have to stand there every morning, looking down into a drawer full of bandannas, going... "Hmm? What mood am I in today?"
Gay pride flags and bandanas are striped like a rainbow. I don't know whether this is related in any way to coloured bandanas. A couple of the bars in Liverpool City centre have Rainbow flags outside to signify that they are predominently for gay customers.
Contrary to how it might appear, I am NOT a leading a leading authority on gay culture. I think it would be great if straight culture had a similar code. Some of my friends look to see if a girl is wearing an engagement or wedding ring, but that appears to be all they check for.
A sticky bandana must signify someone who does not wash regularly....one who has relations with himself often b/c he's too disqusting for a woman to touch. Thus comes the issue of nut cheese which thives in the bodies of the unclean. Perhaps he's a peddler of this cheese. Hmmm...maybe there is great wealth there behind this sticky mess....maybe not!
Hypothetically, (eyes rolling back, smirk on face) If straight people had a similar code, what would your colors be and would your bandana be neatly folded or frayed around the edges? Knots or wrinkle free. (Tongue firmly in cheek)
with having 3 kids mine would most likely be covered in child snot and other gross stuff-which would warn any potential partners that they are unlikely to get any kind of undisturbed love life with me lol! ;)

Also, I have seen more gay men tie them around their wrists rather than put them in their pockets.

Same thing, left or right wrist rather then pocket.

red = fist fucking

red hanky if fisting ,not violence.

you've switched the roles around. Wearing in the left pocket means you are "top" and right means "bottom"

He is correct; left means top and right is bottom.

The code isn't widely used anymore; besides, they don't have to wear them if they choose not to.

Disturbing...yet informative...lol.

more disturbing is that it was my 11 year old daughter who told me there was such a thing as a gay hankerchief code! :O

and knowing some of your friends I expect they only do that to see what angle is best to seduce the woman in question! lol!

And if you ever find the need to carry a Belgian flag, make sure you don't wander into a gay bar!

Sounds very confusing but if I were a gay man I would steer clear of those yellow and brown ones.
