It is not unusual for young people who are struggling with their sexuality to try to exaggerate behavior seen as "normal" for their gender. Often, they do this to try to fool others, but sometimes teenagers think that if they make their behavior more masculine it will make them heterosexual.

This is, of course, not true.

Gender norms are the expectations a culture has for behavior based on the gender of the people who live in that culture. If you look at history, gender norms have been very different over the years. In some cultures, straight men often wore makeup and wigs or long decorative robes with fine lace on them.

Plus, if you look at the current US culture, you'll find that there are many very masculine homosexuals and even more effeminate heterosexuals. The only real way to determine someone's sexuality is to be a trustworthy enough person that they'll tell you the truth if you ask them.
