Fish Out of Water

Fish Out Of Water Experience

First and foremost, I am a very heterosexual guy. I have only dated females since my first girlfriend at the age of 15. I have never had any homosexual thoughts or dreams. So for my fish out of water, I thought it would be a good idea to go to a gay bar. I’ve been to many straight clubs and have always enjoyed myself. Aside from what I hear, gay clubs are a lot more fun and upbeat. I decided to look into that. My first initial thoughts and feelings were that Clubs started out as a place to meet up for sex. But now, at heterosexual clubs and bars, people always come with friends and rarely do people pick up on others and take them home. Rarely. Well, what about gay bars? Are they as sexually driven as the straight bars/clubs once were? Time to find out. I had made time to come to Splash, a gay bar, with a female friend. No particular reason as to choosing a female, just that she was the only one willing to go. When I first stepped in, it looked like any average bar. You have the essentials, the stage, and a crowded bar. It was karaoke night. Then you start to see it: The couples, the groups of friends, gay partners, dykes, and so forth. Everyone is eager to sing and when a friend of a group begins to pour their heart out into a song, their friends would encourage them by being backup singers and dancing along with the songs. It was quite an event. Although I had pondered how interesting it would be if I got picked up by a gay guy, it never really happened. Maybe I just wreck of straightness. If anything, it was just really fun. Everybody is so loose and in a good mood. You don’t really have anyone arrogant or bigheaded walking around thinking they can screw anyone, like in the straight bars. I had fun, but probably won’t be returning.

A good experiment for this assignment. Well written, with very conversational, relaxed tone.

FYI, it's "reek" of straightness, not "wreck."
