Poll question: Should I go out and pick up a woman tonight?
Why or why not?

What's wrong with conversation? (or more, I know what people love to tell me what I need to go do yet aren't selfless enough to anything more than talk as to what they think I need.)

Though we both know, either way, I could't even pick up a date in a box of cereal... :D

5. I wouldn't be surprised.
I've lived through plenty of stereotypes to just about agree with your sentiment, even if you were being sarcastic.

7. Just go out.
If you find someone interesting, you're ahead of the game. If you don't, at least you are out there socializing.

8. Go out, don't worry about picking up a woman
Just do something that you enjoy. If you're enjoying yourself then a woman might enter the picture and make a good night even better, just don't count on it and have fun no matter what happens.

10. Here are some pickup lines for you
Am I dead, Angel? Cause this must be heaven!

Is it hot in here, or is it just you?

Did you clean your pants with Windex? I can practically see myself in them.

Hi, the voices in my head told me to come over and talk to you.

You know how they say skin is the largest organ? Not in my case.

Do you know karate? Cos damn it honey, your body is really kickin.

Gee, that's a nice set of legs, what time do they open?

I hope you know CPR, cos you take my breath away!

I've just moved you to the top of my 'to do' list.

Screw me if I am wrong, but haven't we met before?

That outfit would look great in a crumpled heap next to my bed.


You're welcome!

19. Go Pick Up A Man
It will be much more fulfilling sexually, and you won't have to deal with all of the "female" issues.

22. LOL. 2 things:
1. I am attracted to women and have not been with one. How do I know it will not be fulfilling?

2. I've existed for 34 years. I've always wanted a relationship; to build a life and work with a honest, decent person. All the gay men looking for one (the churchgoing phonies) were either taken or I was never good enough (never given a chance either). All the others chided, derided, and mocked me for wanting to make a life with somebody else or just wanted a roll in the hay. The bi guy was the best, who complimented me then said I should try going with a woman (that was 4 years, 9 months ago.)

3. I nixed this one because it ventures into "TMI territory". But there are other factors (and, no, I do not have any nasty diseases, so that's not the reason.)

In short, it's going to take one hell of a man to get me interested again. I'm too old and too hurt for stupid little games gay men play. The gay sex isn't fulfilling anymore either. Without love (which is about pleasing the partner, not one's self), there is no point either. And with men it's all about the image.

There was one guy who did call back; I think he figured out over the last 6 years, 1 month, 2 and a half weeks how most gay men are too. If only he called back even one year ago, no doubt things would be different, probably. Probably. Life is about change and I need to change.

26. You'll never know until you try.
Try out different approaches. What works for some guys won't work for others. Some swear by taking their dog with them, since ladies will want to come up and pet the dog. Some guys can defy logic and pick up women while wearing a t-shirt with a howling wolf and lightning on it. Some guys can showcase their shyness.

My only advice is to not act self-defeating or seem bitter. Your mindset and "aura" need to be going in a positive direction. I'm convinced that's the key to getting postive attention.

29. Why are all the gay guys I know asking this today?
Have "they" been putting something in the water again? Trying to brainwash even the happily gay ones into boring straight folks like me? Seriously, this is the same kinda question I got from two other gay men I know this evening. What's going on???

32. How do you know I'm gay?
How do you know everything I say online isn't a total lie?

Someone I used to think highly of seems to think that about me...

34. be careful about your back
bend your knees to pick her up, not your waist

wear one of those funky little hernia-back protector belts if you need one.

this is no time for false pride.
