Hmmm... when I was there it was packed full of trixies and chads and it smelled like puke. They were playing pretty normal thud-thud club music. I could've been in Schaumburg -- this was about 12 years ago.

Sounds about right.

Do you remember the name of that place where The Eagle is (was?) near Banana Video? What the hell was it called?

Neither do straight men.

God, no shit. I pretty much have no desire whatsoever to even attempt "hitting on" someone in a public place, specifically because i

And i have no desire to pile onto that shit.

My conclusion: i'm doomed.

I would say most men are crap at this, although alot women are really bad at it also, oddly enough for the most part I feel I am pretty good at it...

I must say, that a men who have hit (this use to happen all the time) on me were way more forcefull than women, and didn't understand that hey look you seem like a nice guy, but I like women, its no big deal you are hitting on me, but you should head for greener pastures my freind, means hey probally should chill out and lay off... we can be freinds but thats it...

What are these sanctimonious women doing posting on the "poll for straight guys"?

Bitches can't read.

SO LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR - I DO NOT THINK I'M BETTER THAN GAY MEN OR ANYONE ELSE.

Actually, I think you're better than most people period - straight, gay, bisexual, try-sexual.

I've always found you to be one of the most good natured and least judgemental people on the PRF.

1. I'm not retracting shit. I said it, I defended it, then I apologized for its unintended but obvious consequences.

2. terikeiser, you're right and I would otherwise never refer to them that way, but it was a necessary shorthand for what I was trying to communicate.

3. rachael, our views on feminism, from what our brief conflicts have revealed, are probably never going to match. But I don't think mine are as Neanderthal as you believe.

4. While at an Oscars party in Minneapolis (the biggest outside Los Angeles, I was told) with my friend, we were standing with a group of his friends. I made a joke and my buddy gives me a little peck. I made another joke, this one about "Oh, my first kiss from a boy!". The group all get quiet and look at me funny, at which point it occurs to me that they have just assumed I'm gay and I'm my friend's date. He sees the confusion, laughs, and say, "He's not a virgin! He's just straight." At that point, his large, bearded, Shel Silverstein-looking co-worker says, "Well, that's not your first kiss from a boy then. THIS IS!" and he plants a huge, wet kiss right on the mouth.

Apparently, the look on my face was a keeper, because everyone howled and it took a while for them to compose themselves. I'd like to think I handled it with grace, if a lot of blushing.

Thanks, alex! That means a lot.
