straight people going to gay bars/clubs: is this bullshit?

The gay bars here suck, so I end up at het establishmetns 98% of the time anyway, but when I'm obliged to take them they're cool, especially when they realize that their own cool points shot up astronomicaly with the straight girls in there.

Better question: gay guys who hate going to anyplace BUT gay bars c/d.

If it's a mixed crowd, it's a guessing game again.

YES LIKE I SAID, HITLER

i tht u were bi neway?

Yeah. I usually go to the gay bar with my girlfriend, though.

straight men could not possibly want to sleep with me in smaller numbers than gay men do.

That's weird, considering the direction of the thread I'd have thought it wd be more like "skin darker than a brown paper bag could pass" because if it's about proving you're gay "enough"...oh well.

xpost smaller than zero is just math

is the Abbey a gay bar?

gay bars on tv have the best names

I used to go to lesbian bars all the time and this was never felt it was a problem this could however be because I'm not entirely straight. I have never felt 100% comfortable in gay male clubs. I've always felt as if as if a lot of the men didn't like women being there. Then again, I could be paranoid or just going to the wrong clubs/bars.

Abbey usta be; just one night a week now?

thx a lot kenan, I get a free date with yr brother for that one.

Total dud. One of my best friends is gay and hates going to "straight" bars and it can get kind of annoying, to be honest.

xpost :)

he's cuet.

As I said, I've a couple of friends who hang out 99% of the time with other gays; even when I invite them to accompany my het friends and I they're nervous and awkward.

The excuse? "I'm playing a part nine to five. After five, I can be myself."

That's a terrible excuse.

srsly. GROW A SPINE, PUSSY

Tell your friends to stop being pussies.

xpost HA

I think there is probably a lot of factors at play, especially for women who do this. Not least a perceived "no pressure" zone in dealing with the opposite sex, like a gender free utopia or something.

if you're a straight dude who really loves dancing to diva house or old whitney houston, you're not gonna have a lot of straight bar options

That's weird, considering the direction of the thread I'd have thought it wd be more like "skin darker than a brown paper bag could pass" because if it's about proving you're gay "enough"...oh well.

That goes completely against all social precedent, though.

xp: if you're a str8 dude who loves that, give it up

i understand this is not a real problem xpost

My friends are Pearl Jam fans.

No wonder they're pussies!

the only thing i love more than dancing to diva house is pussy

haha -- ABANDON HOPE

i understand this is not a real problem

i think maybe it is for some... i mean... totally theoretically. Totally.

No, I guess not, Dan. I thought of it as a black pride thing -- prove yr "one of us" or whatever.

Straights need to realize that they're doomed as a species.

gotta make way for the homo superior

oh boo

the church of man-love is such a holy place to be.

max!

so wait pearl jam lovin homos are taking over the world????

My experiences going to gay bars as a straight guy is that it's by and large totally chill. That being said, if gay dudes were to resent my presence there in some big way (which has never happened, as far as I can tell), then I would be inclined to not argue and respect their wishes to have a space where they don't have to deal with the "straight" world during their leisure time...esp. if they happen to live somewhere that is less receptive to gay culture overall. Everyone deserves some kind of sanctuary from bullshit.

going to gay bars is usually pretty fun, except i got dragged to some weird warehouse called the eagle once where there were dudes in leather chaps and masks and i heard some dude say "eew, women" -- I WAS OUTTA THERE PRETTY QUICKLIKE

We only do this if you're ugly.

Maybe it has something to do with patrons' ages? My most extensive experience in a gay bar involved going there with an ex-girlfriend, in part b/c oftentimes the environment there seemed less annoying somehow than other local "straight" places. I wouldn't classify her as a "fag hag", whatever that means, in any sense, but the guys there always treated her awesomely.

Oh, the part I forgot to post is that the patrons of this particular place were largely middle-aged.

i think it's a good bet that if any bar has the word "eagle" in the title it's a leather daddy bar

i have only been to a gay bar once, how is this possible??

You are straight.

got me there

well, yknow. not really. but if i see paris hilton fake lipgloss style girl next to some hot young twink boyfriend (and this is anywhere not just at gay bars), my first inner thought is: 'punch the girl and kidnap the boy'

On the weekend, an overly solicitous salesman in a gayish swimwear store was giving me a lengthy sales pitch when suddenly he stopped, indicated a particularly fruity pair of speedos, and said, "Can I tell you something serious? Straight men buy these now. They go to Arc (trashy gay nightclub) because they like the music and they like to have their back licked by men, but they won't have sex with you. They're not gay for sex." This rant went forever and became more and more clearly about one particular dude who had refused to sleep with the salesmen, ending with, "And he has a wife. She knows all about it." Did not seem like a good time to tell him I have girlfriend.

want to hear that story in more detail!

So does that straight man wear the speedos to the club? That would make it a lot easier for people to lick his back, if he was just wearing speedos.

Another highlight was his opening his spiel with, "If you buy those, you have to take 'straight-acting' off your Manhunt profile."

OMG!

gayish swimwear store
