Gay Party

Post Reply New Topic

I went to a gay party recently and wow...

It seemed there were quite a few aspie like characters there,

I didn't mention the word aspie or aspergers, But I believe I disclosed that information to one of the engineers who was present.

And wow I got on well with him. So honest

Lots of people at the party were having conversations! wow... Not smoking, staring and guzzling alcohol

Was pretty good... I had a few long conversations.

Maybe there were more aspie like characters because perhaps a lot of the people at the party meet each other online. So was cute to go to a party full of engineers, and architects with the odd hairdresser and makeup artist.

Fun.

How are the gay parties in your neck of the world?
Do you go, or prefer smaller encounters?

i really doubt there are any gay folk "out" in mason county, washington. out here, it is closetville, man. no gay parties here, unless they are way underground or over east in thurston county.

Come to New Zealand

OK,

one time,

I was at a art show, where multiple people spoke in front of a small audience.

There were drinks served before the talks, and smoking area outside.
On occasion I like to escape the loud banging of the Bar/Cafe to the outside fresh air, yes with smokers, and generate chit-chat.

So what I am saying this ART Show was a good opportunity to talk to new people

AND, funny as it may be, I saw a guy looking at me, so ok I stood, and let my hand limp as much as I could lol.
A silent symbol for those looking

must be nice. places like greater hooterville don't generally do art shows and the like

I've been to many gay parties, quiet dinner parties, beach parties, art shows, pool parties, drinking and dancing parties, BBQs, holiday parties. I can't remember one of them that I didn't have a great time or didn't feel comfortable being at.

My children had fun going to parties for children of LGBT parents as well. They always felt very comfortable and like they belonged which was very good for them since we didn't have any extended family living close to us that we could visit and do things with.

One time I took them to the first half of a drag show at a bar I use to work at. We didn't stay for the whole show because they needed to go home and go to bed. But they had their french fries, chicken tenders and cherry cokes and were able to see some of the drag queens perform and they had just as much fun as they did going to see the Nutcracker or a magic show.

I had moved into a very nice historical district where a large number of LGBT people lived and I made friends with some great people (at work, college, my neighbors) before I started going to parties and I feel that had a lot to do with it.

You sound like you're very remote AuntBlabby. Sometimes I wish I was very remote too.

roughly 3 hours southwest of seattle. in the middle of nowhere. but it was affordable, unlike the rest of washington state.

Sounds like Heaven. lol... I'm jealous. I'd ask you to trade places but I already know how you feel about Virginia.

i lived just outside of DC for almost 4 years, and i can say it had one good month in the spring, and one good month in the fall. i could live there in those months, assuming i had money.

Kiwi,

I think that your positive experience reflects some of the advice that I have given to people in other threads about meeting people. When you stop relying on the bars and the other conventional "gay" social spots, then much different opportunities present themselves.

By pursuing your interests, social opportunities present themselves. And where social opportunities present themselves, dating opportunities may as well.

[auntblabby: Except in Mason County, Washington. Folk there are so deep in the closet they're in freakin' Narnia!]

I am long past the age of big parties--but my (and my partner's) social circles are largely gay, so every party has a pretty high queer-quotient.

Wow, I never attended one of these... have no idea where they're held. Can anyone guide me? Anywhere in the UK possibly? Are they any similar to http://www.kurfew.com ? If so, that would rock!

haha hey mootoo

Some of those images from kurfew look exciting, Oh I'm not 19, almost vintage at my 23.
