Ask a Gay Guy: Dress-Up Outings (Page 2 of 2)
April 17, 2008By:
Also, if everyone is wearing an A-shirt and jeans, then they are not trying to impress me, which means I don’t have to try as hard to impress them, right? Finally, have you ever gotten really dressed up to go out, bought a new outfit and spent that extra 30 minutes in the mirror only to have NO ONE notice you ALL NIGHT? That sucks! Then have you ever had a friend con you into going when you weren’t feeling into it and thought you looked like poo? And when you got there, several women hit on you and you ended up with a few phone numbers and a definite date later in the week? That’s another reason not to bother with getting dressed up.
So now for the question: What do we do to get people to dress up again?
I’ll start with this announcement: Could the Knoxville bars please clean up their acts so we feel like the evening is worth getting dressed up for? And could folks please try a little harder to please us? When I pay a cover at the door, I expect some eye candy. After all, isn’t the gay community known for its impeccable fashion sense?
Dear Gay Guy,
Why do gay men get so pissy when someone gives them a weird look when they kiss their partner in public? You have your rights to do what you want, but damn, don’t make out in public. No one likes to watch anyone (gay, straight, black, white... ) suck face with someone else at lunch.
Where are you eating lunch? And what are they eating that allows them to also suck face? I hope it’s nothing with lots of garlic, onion or meat…
I agree with you. I don’t like to see anyone “suck face.” For instance, I was getting coffee in a hotel lobby last weekend when I heard (gross, gross, gross… ) then saw an older straight couple making out at the check-in counter. I wanted to suggest they get a room, but then I realized the thought had probably occurred to them (Why else would they be there?), but they just may not have had enough patience to wait.
That being said, I think all things should be equal. If straight couples can hold hands or peck kiss in public, then gay and lesbian couples should be afforded that same opportunity. I despise the double standard that suggests otherwise.

Seems what comes off here is the somewhat still youngish woman at thirty is looking for a glam place to experience beauty that isn't a wedding reception or an award presentation at a business dinner catering hall. Dinner out with a a nice companion or another couple is about all that is left to work the mirror, the closet, and the makeup, huh?
From the other side of things, even the younger folks, seem to focus more on showing the body and having FUN. Having fun might mean a wife-beater, or a freshly pressed white-designer T shirt and a hot cut on a pair of jeans. So, I think it isn't casual that might be turning off this bi-dame. It is sloppiness and visual malaise. A good shower, minimal hair products, and appealing eye to hand coordination from the clothes racks might be all that is in the cards lately. I say dress up, be fine and let the competition begin.
