Truth be told, OP I've never been to a gay club. I know friends that have, but not in Atlanta. I know
of the gay clubs in Atlanta though. Swinging Richards and Bulldogs (dudes stay acting bashful walking to it though like they don't know where they're going even though its just on peachtree like that
)
If I DO go, she owes me. If shes my girl, she already knows the deal. If its just a female friend, I'm smashing afterwards. PERIOD.
...I'm not just tagging along for your benefit like that. If thats the case we can go elsewhere. I need to get something out of the deal for you having "the night of YOUR life"
I've got nothing against gay clubs (I think most of NT knows this based on the chickfila thread), but I would just feel really awkward around that if you're not in the right mindset to take being hit on personally. Its easy for people to say "i'm secure in myself" but then people also have to deal with the "well do other people think i'm gay?"
...just takes some mental gymnastics is all.
Plus, sometimes if you're not having fun they'll tell you that you seem a little "too uncomfortable." I went with my friends to a drag show once and it was cool, but it just wasn't that great. I just didn't see the appeal. Everything was really corny and they seemed like they were trying too hard, but they said I looked like I had something to hide...and that just pissed me off even more so it looked like I hated being there when in fact, I was just unimpressed.
I would also make sure you and your girl are on solid terms about what ya'll are doing. She should care about how comfortable you feel being there. I don't think you're closed-minded, but its not bad to have a reasonable set of expectations that she has to respect when you go with her.
My point is, if you're not going in with a good attitude or super enthusiastic, you might not enjoy it.
