Gay Bars

[TN_Vixen]

My best friend (male) is gay and we're going out to one of our favorite gay clubs tonight. It has been a long time since I've been there and have actually missed the drag shows upstairs and the great dance music.

Trouble is, every time I go I get hit on.. *smiling* I make a point to tell the women that I'm straight, but it doesn't seem to work. One time this beautiful dark skinned honey came on to me and literally pushed me up against the wall and kissed me! I was flattered, but taken aback.

Wondering if it'll happen tonight? What are your suggestions for a "thank you, no" response? And, how many have been to drag shows?

What part of no...

I used to go to gay bars and clubs all the time with one of my friends until he moved away. We had a system. We'd pretend to be a couple, and for some reason this seemed to incite the boys to hang all over him. What I got out of it were free drinks all night and a nice, safe atmosphere to ogle to my heart's content.

As for getting hit on by women, I never got hit on quite that, uh... pointedly. I'll be honest: how I would react to a similiar situation would depend on how attractive she was and how much I'd had to drink.

As for a polite no, I don't see what's wrong with "Thank you, no." Or maybe "I'm flattered, but I don't swing that way." Cool people are going to understand and respect that. The ones that don't respect your no don't deserve politeness.

Hope you have a good time! Let me know how it goes.

There was a great club in Louisville Ky called conections...I'm not sure if it is still there or not . They had the BEST drag shows ,the "women" were absolutly breathtaking...one named Robbie had actually "gone all the way" and was the real deal.She was heralded as somewhat of a legend in the place. The whole place just rocked...some serious energy flowin ... I was never lucky enough to have anyone that blatant approach me ,but the flirting is fun.

well, i have to agree with naudiz,... anyone who doesn't take a "thank you no" doesn't deserve politeness,... and "thank you, no" is acceptable. what would be acceptable if it were a man hitting on you? i don't think lesbians are more tender (if you're overly firm with men) than men, so you don't have to protect them or anything,... it'll be fine,... just beat 'em off with a stick!! have fun,...

I just love going to male gay bars, that way I don't get hit on and they all like the same things I do, except when we all like the same person, I usually lose out to one of the "girls".

As I was reading this tread,a song by Charlie Daniels Band came to mind.
The name of the song is,"Uneasy Rider '88."

Its about a couple of regular guys that go into a gay bar,and get hit on.

The song is funny as hell.
