Is there a way how to recognize a bisexual male? I am a female bisexual and fed of dating heterosexuals. I don´t use dating sites on the internet, so I have to look for those guys in a real life. The problem is, well, that I can never tell which male is bisexual and which is straight. I can usually recognize gay men. So is there a way? Thank you.

I'll leave this here for others to respond!

[bloggerdeductions]

Hello, I want to know where you learned to make such incredible deductions. What resources/ books did you use? How long did it take you to hone your skills? Thanks :)

Well, I'm not at all doing this on my own. This blog is based on giving fellow sherlockians a change to try it, I have done only a few!

For useful recourses, you should take a look at thedeductionguide!

I’ve actually just disabled submission because I keep receiving pictures but there’s not enough people to deduce them and I don’t have enough time to match them. It’d take hours to sort it all out.. I’m sorry, I might pick it up again when I have loads of free time. 

[rosslynpaladin]

I kept tying to contact this blog to DO deductions or even answer about my own submission. Never could. Oh well

[bloggerdeductions]

Yes I know but I have to manually match every picture with a person and there's just too many to handle...

I'm really sorry but there's too many submissions to handle for me now, I'll try to do them as soon as possible but I'm very busy and it takes a lot of time.

i’m sorry to bombard you with pictures, but my phone is the only camera i have ;A; i’ve been really impressed by the people who do these deductions (i could never figure anything out myself) and am very curious to see ho w my desk reflects me :D

eclecticmasterpiece: 

You are a young woman. You like to read (fantasy and horror) (novels and comics) but the books are under the iphone box so you don’t read as often as you would like to. You also enjoy drawing. Either you’re in high school and want to go to Chicago state Or you go to Chicago state and the pictures are your high school friends. It is most likely the latter because I can see the corner of what appears to be a fridge right outside your bedroom door which would means a smaller living space than a house. The floor by it looks like the plastic flooring most commonly used in apartments so I would guess that you are renting a small one near the school; though I wouldn’t be surprised if a dormitory used that flooring. If you are renting then you are probably not a freshman. The neatness of your belongings could also mean you are slightly older, as does your collection of earrings which would take time to collect; that is dangerous to use a a reference however because you may have gotten pierced at a relatively young age.  The girl with the red hair looks young, others are hard to tell. There is a picture of a boy and a girl that is separated from the other pictures. The girl is probably you and the boy is probably your boyfriend.  And the picture of the dog tells me you like animals.  The 3rd generation iPhone box and the tamogatchi both suggest that you take good care of your possessions. The mustache octopus, keychains, paper flower, Ect. suggest you like cute things. I do not see other plushes or and sewing supplies so you probably bought the mustache octopus. (Also, it has a tag) Your space is neat but crowded, you use that desk often and like to keep everything that you might use nearby. By the position of the mouse and the sketch book I can tell that you are right handed.  You have an assortment of lotions and a bottle of perfume nearby so you take care of your appearance. The clear blue bottle says oil free which means you might have acne. There is also a small round box on the post of your bed which is probably a cream that you use every night.  I don’t recognize the camera but it was probably what you used to take the pictures that are on your wall.  Nor do I recognize the black thing on top of the league of extraordinary gentleman. It may be a drawing pad but I would venture that you prefer traditional art.  I can tell that your ears are pierced by the earring stand. Some of your earrings would go best with a gothic style but everything else suggest brighter fashion and the majority are fairly neutral.  Fandoms -SNK (drawing)

because you like SNK i can further deduce that you are a fan of anime.  -doctor who (landyard)

[jangstomp-blog-deactivated20181]

Wow wow WOW! I’m extremely impressed by these deductions and am honestly surprised with how accurate some of them are!

You were clearly right about my gender, the books, and the drawing. I do try my best to take care of my things, and i absolutely love cute things (the octopus was a gift but that doesn’t matter ^^). My desk is where i am at the most when i’m home. I am right handed and i do try my best to take care of myself. I am a fan of Anime and DW, along with quite a few others that aren’t seen in the picture.

The other deductions were close and impressed me nonetheless. I am a college student but i’m at Chico, not Chicago. And technically you are right about the apartment; my school bought an old apartment complex and turned it into a dorm. Unfortunately, i don’t have a boyfriend, and the picture is of me and my best friend; i didn’t want to stick it on the wall since it was the only horizontal image i have. I don’t have acne but i am terrified of getting it so i try my best to care for my skin. Regarding the camera, it’s a small Polaroid 300, and the tablet is not actually a tablet but my eye shadow pallet-however, i DO own a tablet and i do prefer traditional art, so you were right on that. I did get my ears pierced at a young age (9) but i didn’t start collecting until recently since i only had more holes added just last year.

Wow, i’m still spazzing over this! Thanks so much for doing it, you did an excellent job!!

Deduce me ^^

debaucheryandthings:

Not even the sender’s desk last time! Sneaky git. ;)

Okay, round two:

Positions of various writing utensils and scissors says you’re right handed.

The marks on the desk say this area is used often for your work. Paint bottle and the lamps suggest that you paint models (likely human forms according to the artist’s mannequin) and that you do so at all hours, as the lamps would provide the best light for small details when the ambient light would not. Scissors and paper squares point to paper crafting as well, probably origami (modern origami allows for scissors, though they suggest scrapbooking as well as clothing design, probably cosplay. Sewing is done in another area.). The models you paint are likely anime characters and videogame characters.

The gaming magazine tells me you’re German. This was purchased recently as the featured game came out today (3rd September). The featured game is for PC, you have a Playstation controller, and a brand new gaming magazine say you’re an avid gamer.

The textbooks and paperwork to the left say you’re a student. You’re learning Japanese in your classes, but the Langenscheidt textbook on the shelf suggests you’re learning outside of school as well as it’s separated from your workload.

Learning Japanese might imply that you’re a fan of anime, but that you’re learning on your own and possibly doing origami suggests you appreciate more of the culture than just what it provides for entertainment.

Despite many people breaking gender stereotypes, the pink pen indicates you’re female. With niche hobbies, you likely have a small group of close friends and are possibly introverted while on your own. You would be unlikely to use a bright pink pen in public. The candleholders on the shelf also support this.

Both how avid you are with your hobbies and the shape of your textbooks suggests you’re 17-20 years old. A student above sophomore year would have likely started purchasing used textbooks by now, and these look new. The workload during these years is heavier, and you wouldn’t have excessive time for your hobbies.

The papers in the red tray to the left suggest you’re not tidy, but the cleanliness of your workspace says both that you care deeply about your hobbies and that what mess you have is “organised chaos”. The workspace wasn’t cleaned up for the photo, but many of the items were placed on the desk for it.

[hwtljapan-deactivated20131102]

Okay you got many things right ^^ but there are a few Mistakes ;) I don’t learn Japanese in School I just do it as a hobby. I’m not 17-20 years old, I’m way younger, I was born in 2000 so at the moment I’m 13 years old ^^

I have lots of friends more then you thought, but you are right I prefer beeing on my own and work on my drawing skills and such things.

NOW I’m really impressed … that was .. impressive!

Looking forward to more of your Deduction Posts ^^

majesticly-adventurous: 

This the desk of one of my friend. Enjoy! 

debaucheryandthings: 

I definitely enjoyed trying to deduce the submitter! This is my first attempt at doing so, and I’d love to do it again.

Even though the stylus is to the left, the pen on the right says you’re right handed. Angle suggests it wasn’t placed there on purpose.

Wacom tablet is in good shape, though it’s now outdated. This would say you’re serious about your art given the care and expense of the product, but it’s not a career as you haven’t purchased a newer model that would give you more options for your work. This would be an unlikely gift (again, the expense), and to be able to afford it you would need a job that pays over minimum wage, which suggests you’re in your mid to late twenties and know how to manage your finances.

The headphones indicate gaming, though the lack of games around the computer suggests a separate console despite the location of the headphones.

The quality and age of your electronics says you’re contentious about your purchases. You put quality and function over price and bypass newer models, only replacing what you have when it no longer works.

Given the attention and therefore the time spent on your art, the tablets lack of portability, and lack of ashtray, you’re a non-smoker. It’s unlikely you would take the time away from the piece for a cigarette break.

Marks from natural oils on keyboard says you’re frequent computer user, though the glare from the lamp makes it impossible to tell exactly how frequent. The lack of sentimental items on the desk suggest that you’re not there constantly.

The general state of the desk shows you’re relatively organised, as the space is frequented often, but not left messy.

Wallpaper and fabric to the left suggests female. (Wallpaper again suggests you live with parents due to the state of the economy if I’m right about your age, and that this is a bedroom) Cord going from computer into the space off-camera says that area is also frequented. The stitching on the fabric says it’s not a blanket, so it’s likely a drape of some sort. Privacy for the nook might suggest bed. (I’d be interested in knowing what’s over there. The layout of the room from this angle is intriguing.)

You took the photo with a camera phone. The white cord and shape of the shadow suggests it’s an apple product. You had to turn all of the surrounding lights on to get a clear photo, so it either doesn’t have a flash, or it was deactivated due to glare on the electronics.

I’d like to be able to tell you where you’re from, but the pixilation of the photo prevents me from being able to read any of the text available. If there are any other indicators, I’m missing it and shouldn’t be doing this in the first place. ;)

The lack of truly personal items in the photo itself shows want for a level of anonymity. You could have chosen anywhere else to give a hint of your personality, but you didn’t. This might suggest anxiety issues.

Being interested in the Sherlock fandom enough to submit a photo here shows emotional connection to the show. This likely indicates relation to the character, most likely to his exclusiveness toward others, which goes along with the anxiety and eludes to depression or bipolar disorder. (I mean no offence by mentioning that, don’t mind me)

I’ll stop before my speculation gets out of hand. How’d I do?

[inhalethemelody]

majesticlyadventurous: 

So I showed my friend the thing and you got several things wrong. First, the headphones are used to watch movies late in the night without making noises and waking people. She doesn’t have any games or a separate console. Second, she received the tablet for Christmas by her parents. She doesn’t have a job and she is 16. She uses her desk every time, she’s almost always working there or just being on the computer. She didn’t want to be anonymous or something that’s her real desk. She just doesn’t have a lot of things to put on. To her knowledge and mine, she doesn’t have anxiety issues and her room apart from being a bit messier is pretty much like her desk. Finally, she never watched Sherlock, I told her about the blog and she wanted to give it a shot and look what people could say from her desk. Apart from that everything else was right and I know it was a hard one!

I really enjoyed taking a crack at it and would love to do more! Here are my deductions.

Hello! This is my first attempt at deducting. It was a lot of fun and thanks for letting me take a shot! It is pretty long, though. I’m sorry if it’s a bit boring! So without further ado:

You are a boy, 15-20yrs of age (more likely in younger half) since the books atop the printer (dictionary/thesaurus, history textbook) seem suited for high school students. You also have your own printer, which is more likely for a student in high school than college where students live in dorms and have access to university printers.

You are left-handed. The bottle of hand sanitizer and laptop mouse are on your left side. The teapot handle is also on the left and your desk is cleared on the left side.

You don’t live in the US - the model of your Epson printer is sold in Europe but not in the US. You also don’t use the scanner function much as one can see from the books stacked on top of it.

You are an average book-reader since there are short stacks of titles and a bookmark in one, but you’re not bookworm because the books are placed among CDs and other things, not in a specific designated place (or a shelf). It looks like they’re fiction from the covers (sorry, couldn’t make out titles), but not fantasy so maybe realistic YA fiction is your preferred genre. 

You are a music lover who most likely plays an instrument and makes/mixes his own CDs. There are stacks of albums, an Ipod speaker system, and supply of blank CDs. It seems as though you haven’t been making CDs recently, however, as there is still a good supply of blank CDs in the case.

You like to be reasonably organized but don’t mind letting things get a bit disorderly until you clean it again, as long as there’s a clear workspace. This is indicated by the unevenly stacked books, CDs, and mixed pens and pencils all in one holder - all of which are still left on the desk within easy reach.

You buy things and use them over long periods of time, only replacing them when they no longer work. Not having the newest model of a product doesn’t bother you. For example, your Ipod nano is the 5th generation model (bigger screen), meaning it’s 4yrs old (or younger). Your printer is also a model released around 2010 so it’s several years old at least. The laptop and speakers appear worn as well and your desk’s foot rest beam is heavily scratched from long-term use.

You are conscious of money/costs vs. function of your purchases. Your particular printer for instance, offers quick-printing, is energy and paper-saving, and wireless, all for under 100 euros (from epson website). Your Ipod model also comes with a camera in addition to being a music player.

You like to do things yourself and like a physical, hands-on approach to learning. The wall paint has an uneven bottom border, indicating that you’d most likely done it yourself. There are also some blue splotches on the desk, which probably occurred while you were painting the wall. You also have a hard copy of a dictionary/thesaurus, when many consider using online resources to be quicker and easier. The possibility of you making your own CDs is another supporting clue.

You like to spend time in your bedroom - there’s a speaker system to listen to music while working, etc -  but not necessarily at your desk, since there’s no laptop charger indicating long hours at the desk. Your bed is most likely nearby.

You’re conscious of being hygienic judging from the hand sanitizer bottle and cleanliness of immediate work space.

Now for more inference-type things:

You took this photo either later in the day, on a cloudy day, or your room has poor lighting since you used your camera flash.

Your bedroom is located on the upper floor with a sloping wall - the posters are leaning towards the camera. This may just be because of the angle the photo was taken, however.

You are a fan of Doctor Who (in addition to Sherlock, of course) based on the posters of England plus the specific shade of blue wall paint. 

You have hopes of visiting England (specifically London?) judging from the poster; this desire most likely stemmed from liking shows like Doctor Who and Sherlock.

You were, at one point, fan of the idea of making tea with a teapot and the whole set, but grew out of it and are now keeping the teapot as a pen holder in memory.

You like color contrast (red bus on black and white poster, bright green Ipod) but favor the color blue (blue wall, mouse, bookmark).

You are a romantic who doesn’t mind a touch of mystery/drama (masquerade mask) and/or are currently in a relationship since there is a pair of wine glasses (and i think a pair of electric candles?). There is one red/pink and one blue/grey glass, most likely for your girlfriend and yourself respectively. The wine glasses were probably a gift from someone close (girlfriend?), giving them sentimental value because they’ve been placed near the center of the desk with only the speakers in front of them, making them some of the first things a person sees.

Erm, that’s it. I couldn’t make out the CD/book titles or the items between the teapot and wine glasses. Sorry about that. Hope you can point out what was wrong and I hope it wasn’t too dull!

[static-stasis-deactivated201312]

Hi! You got quite a bit right, but also some things were quite a bit off the mark!

I’m actually a 21 y.o. female university student. I live at home though, and commute to school. It’s far more convenient to use my printer than to hope a printer is available at the university, especially since I use it a lot for non-school related things.

I am left-handed! I also don’t live in the US. I live in Canada. I got my printer at Best Buy. I only use the scan function to copy things, and even that’s rare.

I am an average book-reader, but only due to a short attention span. Those are actually just library books (as you can see by the white stickers) on the top of the spines). My books are in a cabinet off-camera. I do however almost exclusively read realistic YA fiction.

I do like music, but I don’t really play an instrument. I have a guitar, but I hardly ever touch it (and don’t really know how to play). Those are actually DVDs, but it’s really hard to tell from a picture!

A tiny bit of mess doesn’t bother me, but I clean all the time. You’re pretty spot on for this deduction!

You’re right about owning things for a long time, and not having the newest model. My laptop and printer are new, though (only a few months old) 

You’re right about cost vs function, though the choice of iPod is pure chance—it was a present so my parents just picked the iPod at random. 

I am a hands-on learner, but my dad painted my room, not me. I hardly ever use an online dictionary—paper is quicker for me so again, right.

When I’m home, I spend almost all of my time in my bedroom. My bed is near by, which is also where I spend the majority of my time. 

I do like everything to to be clean and orderly, so again spot on!

I did take this photo later in the day, and my room doesn’t have the greatest lighting. It is on the upper floor, but has a sloped ceiling, not wall. 

I am a fan of Doctor Who and Sherlock, but the paint colour is purely coincidental. This wasn’t originally my bedroom, so the paint colour wasn’t my choice. I do want to visit England (London) in particular, but that mostly stems from having family still living in England, and the fact that my family is from there.

I’ve never actually made tea with a teapot. The teapot was my grandmother’s, so it is a sentimental thing.

I’ve never actually noticed the fact that I like colour contrast, but I suppose it’s true. Blue is my favourite colour.

I am a romantic, but that’s a bag of tarot cards not a masquerade mask, so I would say more whimsy/magic rather than mystery/drama. I’m not in a relationship, and they’re actually pudding cups that I keep trinkets in (that orange thing is a wrist band from a waterpark),The placement is just merely convenient. I have a small room, so space is limited. I actually have no idea what you’re referring to as electric candles, sorry! 

The items between the pudding cups and the tea pot are two glass containers of coloured sand and stuffed animal hamster, all presents from my best friend. Behind the speaker there’s also a little glass block of a fish created with jelly, a minuature horse and a minature porcelean dall, all also gifts.

This was fun! I enjoyed hearing your deductions.

You are a music lover who most likely plays an instrument and makes/mixes his own CDs. There are stacks of albums, an Ipod speaker system, and supply of blank CDs. It seems as though you haven’t been making CDs recently, however, as there is still a good supply of blank CDs in the case.

You like to be reasonably organized but don’t mind letting things get a bit disorderly until you clean it again, as long as there’s a clear workspace. This is indicated by the unevenly stacked books, CDs, and mixed pens and pencils all in one holder - all of which are still left on the desk within easy reach.

You buy things and use them over long periods of time, only replacing them when they no longer work. Not having the newest model of a product doesn’t bother you. For example, your Ipod nano is the 5th generation model (bigger screen), meaning it’s 4yrs old (or younger). Your printer is also a model released around 2010 so it’s several years old at least. The laptop and speakers appear worn as well and your desk’s foot rest beam is heavily scratched from long-term use.

You are conscious of money/costs vs. function of your purchases. Your particular printer for instance, offers quick-printing, is energy and paper-saving, and wireless, all for under 100 euros (from epson website). Your Ipod model also comes with a camera in addition to being a music player.

You like to do things yourself and like a physical, hands-on approach to learning. The wall paint has an uneven bottom border, indicating that you’d most likely done it yourself. There are also some blue splotches on the desk, which probably occurred while you were painting the wall. You also have a hard copy of a dictionary/thesaurus, when many consider using online resources to be quicker and easier. The possibility of you making your own CDs is another supporting clue.

You like to spend time in your bedroom - there’s a speaker system to listen to music while working, etc -  but not necessarily at your desk, since there’s no laptop charger indicating long hours at the desk. Your bed is most likely nearby.

You’re conscious of being hygienic judging from the hand sanitizer bottle and cleanliness of immediate work space.

Now for more inference-type things:

You took this photo either later in the day, on a cloudy day, or your room has poor lighting since you used your camera flash.

Your bedroom is located on the upper floor with a sloping wall - the posters are leaning towards the camera. This may just be because of the angle the photo was taken, however.

You are a fan of Doctor Who (in addition to Sherlock, of course) based on the posters of England plus the specific shade of blue wall paint. 

You have hopes of visiting England (specifically London?) judging from the poster; this desire most likely stemmed from liking shows like Doctor Who and Sherlock.

You were, at one point, fan of the idea of making tea with a teapot and the whole set, but grew out of it and are now keeping the teapot as a pen holder in memory.

You like color contrast (red bus on black and white poster, bright green Ipod) but favor the color blue (blue wall, mouse, bookmark).

You are a romantic who doesn’t mind a touch of mystery/drama (masquerade mask) and/or are currently in a relationship since there is a pair of wine glasses (and i think a pair of electric candles?). There is one red/pink and one blue/grey glass, most likely for your girlfriend and yourself respectively. The wine glasses were probably a gift from someone close (girlfriend?), giving them sentimental value because they’ve been placed near the center of the desk with only the speakers in front of them, making them some of the first things a person sees.

Erm, that’s it. I couldn’t make out the CD/book titles or the items between the teapot and wine glasses. Sorry about that. Hope you can point out what was wrong and I hope it wasn’t too dull!

vezle: 

Let's see what you can deduce about me from my room :) bonus points if you figure out where I am from :))

tenerelupumaribus: 

BONUS: You are Lithuanian! I deduced that by the numerous Lithuanian titles of your school textbooks. You have English books, of course, but no one has textbooks on science matters in another language. But you have a good grasp on the English language, since you can read English literature and you have tried to learn Japanese. Most likely because you have travelled in Japan as:

You have a Collins Japanese phrasebook.

You have a small drawing of a pagoda at your wall.

You are the holder of martial arts diplomas. I think the diploma template may indicate Judo, but I can’t be definitive.

The other four diplomas in purple and blue cannot be seen clearly. What are they?

You are right handed, obvious from furniture placement and the mouse of your computer.

You must be under 18 and male becaus you are fond of technological equipment (two computers, a recently bought Epson photograph printer as the box is still opened in the middle of your room, an iPod and probably a kindle or another reading device, it’s not clear).

You are a boy and you may have a sister. The flowery stickers, the dolphin on the glass, the Dalmatian armchair are a girls choice. I assume this room is used by all the members of your family.

You are interested in astronomy, a lot. You have two planets decorating your walls.

The first printed planet is Saturn and you probably printed the photograph from americaspace.com or nasa.com because that is the exact photograph of NASA’s JPL of Saturn taken by Cassini spacecraft. This artist’s concept illustrates how charged water particles flow into the Saturnian atmosphere from the planet’s rings, causing a reduction in atmospheric brightness. The observations were made with the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, with NASA funding. The analysis was led by the University of Leicester, England.

Bigger Saturn photo, probablly a painting, would cost a considerabl amount.

Interestingly enough, although you are willing to spend money on computers and books, your chair is worn out and the furniture is basic. I can also see from the windows that the building is a big block of flats. You also have an iron for clothes and some hangers in your room. If you were living with your family, your mother would probably take care of cleaning clothes and such, especially if you are a boy. You may still live with your parents.

Anyway, I am perplexed by the fact that you haven’t got a closet to hang your clothes. But you have hangers. So, I assume this house is bigger, and it is consisted of many rooms. So the uni-temporary lodgment is ruled out, since students do not rent multi-roomed houses alone. So, you are living with your parents, but you are relatively autonomous. Also, you have two shampoo bottles.

Books:

You like photography, hence the pictured of the bird and the snow, and also some of your books (fotografo akis/mintis, vizualioji meno istorija)

You like ships and seafarers, but it was only a passing interest of the old. (laivai ir jurininkai)

You have a small collection of magazines which you don’t read, although that defeats the purpose of collecting them.

You’ve read some standard popular books, Dan Brown, Avatar and so on. Some mystery novels. Also, you seem to enjoy historical dramas too, as well as history as a subject.

You like sciences, especially physics, as you own a physics book of the famous Michio Kaku who is a theoretical physicist. Oh, and architecture. You like architecture.

You have definitely finished school because in your library, at your last shelf dictionaries(tarptautiniu zodziu zodynas, chemistry textbooks (chemija) and encyclopedias can be seen. If you were still at school, these books would have been at the middle shelves, so you can reach for them easier.

You like theatre (Dramos Pasaulis, Othello, Macbeth…)

You are passionate about music, since you have bought and not downloaded the cd’s of your choice. You also have a fascination with Doctor Who, as you own a DVD.

You have a borderline obsession with turtles, as you collect them, regardless of shape, colour and utilitarian purposes.

You own a skate or a bike; probably a bike.

You are a high school student, since you do possess writing material and notebooks, but they are very slim. Also there is a lack of voluminous textbooks, so university is ruled out.

You probably have finished high school and you are currently studying at the university or have finished uni already, because you have a book named “Istorijos Egzamino Gidas” which is a history book for exams at schools. It is read and finished so…

Also, I do not see a bed or a closet or cosmetics or any personal decorations, so I am assuming this is your desk and not your personal bedroom.

You are an avid reader, since you own a multitude of books and a kindle/other brand reading device.

P.S.: What is this black ring besides your door? It’s been driving me crazy!

How did I do! Please let me know!
