Has the paradigm changed for gay bars?

[Virge]

If gay bars and social outlets are closing up on some kind of mass level across the country, and if the primary reason for it is the ease of things like apps, to me it would just be a sad commentary on how many American gay men conceive of being a gay man as just being about hooking up for sex. Because that's realistically all anyone is doing on the app circuit.

If it's happening in America and not so much in Australia or elsewhere, that would be the culprit, I think.

Think about this buzzer >>> when was the last time you read a thread in GS like this....

Last night I walked to a quiet little gay bar near my house and this guy came in and sat almost beside me and started talking..... he bought me drink an laughed at everything I said. His eyes had twinkles in them like he was staring at christmas lights. It was raining when I was ready to leave so he gave me a ride. We sat in the driveway and talked an hour. We kissed. Wow! what a kiss. He didn't have a pen in the car for me to write down my number for him. He told me not to bother and laughed about it real weird. When I got up this morning there was a basket of fruit and a bottle of wine on my doorstep. There was a card but it wasn't signed. All that was in it was a phone number. Should I call? What is it's not from him? Who else could it be from? I'm so confused!!!!!![/COLOR]

Just think about the last time you heard or read something like that.
