Gay Days Tips

Just in time for Gay Days, I thought I’d share some quick survival tips/things to be on the look-out for while out and about during this gay weekend and just everyday husband hunting…

•If you meet a shaved/hairless guy, you’ve just encountered a “seal.”

•If you meet a man wearing anything with “AE(American Eagle),” Aeropostale or “AF(Abercrombie & Fitch)” printed across their chest, it’s a safe assumption they’re over the age of 40.

•If you see the same man wearing a baseball hat each time you see him, he’s probably bald and or has thinning hair.

•A boy who is 5’5” or under, has a 26” waist and is under the age of 26; you’ve encountered a “waif.” …Or a meth head…

•Eye contact: One look at someone is just a glance. Two looks at someone shows an interest. Three or more means you’re gawking…or a stalker.

•The Buddy System: Have a reliable friend along with you on your gay travels or on speed dial; just in case you find yourself in a less than stellar situation and you need a quick escape or even a sober ride home.

•Apps like Grindr, Scruff, A4A, etc. are meant for hooking up. Don’t expect to get a long-term relationship from it…unless it involves an insistent rash or a trip to the free clinic.

•With that, use protection. This shouldn’t be an issue with condoms at the ready pretty much EVERYWHERE you’ll be this weekend.
-According to the NY Health Dept., since 2010, meningitis has been on the  upswing in New York City.
-According to kaneland.org, mono is on the rise this season as well. Not really the fashion statement I’m trying to make. (with revelers traveling to Orlando from  all over the U.S. and even other countries, it’s best to be safe than sorry.)

•Last but not least, have fun!
