Inspired by this series and this article in particular. What was your first gay bar experience like? I'm really interested in comparing, as I recently had my first trip to the local gay bar. I passed by the place a few times, working up the courage and getting some texting-related support. After like the fifth time I finally walked... and it looked like a normal bar that happened to have a mostly-male clientele. Sat at the bar, talked to the bartender, played some trivia, met some folks. Then this kind of burly guy started hitting on me and I said something about interning somewhere. There was this pause, and then "wait... how old are you?" I blurted out 23 and the guy said something about the beard throwing him off. The conversation died and I left pretty soon after out of embarrassment. But I've been back several times since!
Never going to one again, unless I get a job at one, at which I'd have to begrudgingly go. I'd rather go to a non-specific bar. xD
I have no intention of ever going to a gay bar. Can't stand the atmosphere. Very low-class and packed to the teeth with buffoons just looking to get their rocks off by night's end.
Not my type of thing. Though I do have fun when I go. I just don't expect to hookup. Not my thing as much as guys try.
I forgot about that, fantastic. But to remain on topic, I haven't been to a gay bar as of yet, but I hope that can change at some point.
I...enjoyed it sorta but it was a very low-class bar...like it was for Hallowe'en and I mean I got my ass pinched several times lol. I enjoyed being there but same time it was just so-so. And then came my second club that I passed out in, and that did nothing for me because the owners were irresponsible handling it, and then when I criticized them they basically were like "take down your post and apologize or we'll sue you for defamation". It was f**ked
I've been a few times with friends. I'm not a big fan of drinking, crowds, or noisy places. So they don't do much for me.
Club Icon-It's fun sometimes,but i don't go most of the time cause I'm pretty quiet and alone and it is hard to have fun that way!!!
I just turned 18 and my friend (he was a bit older) invited me to go along. I remember that it felt very awkward and comfortable at the same time. The place was called "Oh!" and I just remember staring at the shirtless bartender and all the other gay men. It was the first time in my life that I've seen gay guys, except my friend that Ive known for a few months.
