Girl Walks Into a Gay Bar
An attractive, heterosexual female colleague of mine, who shall remain nameless, went dancing with some friends at R-Place last night. Common wisdom dictates that she went dancing at R-Place to cut loose in a comfortable environment that would free her from the shackles of getting hit on by obnoxious straight guys. But try this one on for size: Said female colleague reports that she gets hit on at gay bars more than she gets hit on at straight bars, and that last night at R-Place was no different.
There are, we reasoned, two potential explanations for this: (1) the dudes that hit on her are bi, or (2) the fact that cute girls love to dance at gay clubs (i.e., part of the "common wisdom" above) has become such common knowledge that straight dudes are now infiltrating these establishments for the express purpose of pulling surprise attacks on pretty ladies who assume, based simply on the environs, that a given guy's gay, thus decreasing his odds of getting the brush after the first "hey, gorgeous." Since my nightlife these days is pretty much limited to my deck, my office, and the Tug Tavern, I'd love it if someone could offer some more seasoned insight here in the comments section.

I\'m always for a different angle in picking up women. Maybe I\'ll give R Place a try. I\'ll refrain from singing the song \"Yellow\".

Maybe she also wanted a bit to be center of attention. Lots of women are more into that when they are out really than giving folks a chance.

Point taken, Paul, although I\'m not as interested in a dissection of her behavior as I am with insight into the dudes\' behavior. Are more straight boys showing up at gay clubs to run counter-op pickup gamuts, or is seeing if they can bag hot women some sort of newfangled obsession of gay men?

Years ago, while going with friends to Brass Connection and Neighbors one thing was obvious... That some straight men had realized that straight women go to gay bars so they can enjoy themselves without men hitting on them.
I have even been told this over and over again by straight men in the bars, telling me that they come for the straight women; basically that was the first thing they asked me... \"Are you straight or gay?\"
That was right before one man grabbed my left breast and I replied \"Silicone\" after I had decided I had been drinking and would be better not to hit him. Instead I grabbed a straight female friend by her hand, and proceeded to go out to the dance floor and dance with her all night; staying away from this arse hole who decided he could grope and get away with it.
The long and the short of it is this... Straight men have known for years that straight women go to gay bars. Gay bars are the pick up place for the straight men comfortable enough with their own sexuality to go to a gay bar, looking for straight women.
Be well,

bummer. My girl friends, especially the gorgeous ones, go to gay bars for just this reason. And now, it no safer than a streight bar, apparently. What\'s a streight girl who just wants to hang out and have a beer to do?

I was there that night and the same thing happened to me. I was getting a glass of water after dancing with some colleagues and I ran into this guy who said that I was really cute and that he liked my style. I joked with him and said you should come dance with my friend for their birthday!
He looked at me and said boy or girl?
I said boy of course! He turned and said that he was straight. It tripped me out, because it turned out he was the most metrosexual guy I\'d ever met in my life!
He then proceeded to follow me around for awhile until I ditched him by pawning him off on a colleague of mine that was with her boyfriend. Try to break down that wall?

good, none gay girls should stay the f&ck out of our bars. I personally find them annoying. It takes longer to get a drink, they take up too much room and when you approach a guy - their hags get jealous. GO HOME not homo.

There are different ways to maintain your car. First off, you can go ask your car dealer where their authorized repair shops are. It is best that you take your car to the people who were certified service engineer of the make of your car. That way, you will know for sure that only the right parts are going to be used for it. Inferior car parts can lead to accidents on the road and that can cost you your life and your investment. [url=http://www.tamug.edu/hrd/fpdb/carloan/map.html]car loan massapequa[/url]
