Smile and say hi, as if you were just being friendly.
Then, see what his reaction is.
If he doesn't even smile, move on.
If he's friendly, strike up a conversation.
Then, see what his reaction is.
If he just acts like a friend, then you've made a new friend.
If he acts like he's really interested in you in a romantic or sexual way, then see where that leads you.
The most important thing is to have fun.

thanks...that's so helpful...

GET SOLD ON YOURSELF! GET SOLD ON YOUR PRODUCT AND BRAND! then my friend... you will be able to sell yourself to someone else. Attracting someone else is like marketing... having worked in retail and put that in to practice with what I learned from "My Guy: A Gay Man's Guide to a Lasting Relationship" yeah.... fuck yea! My life is getting much better and not only am I meeting new people friend or maybe more but also my guy that is apparently dealing with commitment issues is beginning to realize that if he doesn't make his mind up and take care of me better and commit to me... someone else will and he will never have what I gave/give him.

The bar I usually go to always has muchies or candy on the bar. Chuck a peanut at his head and when he looks at you, wave.

Really I doubt you'll have any trouble. Just being alone will invite people to talk to you, as long as you're not sitting in a corner somewhere or something. Just be friendly, throw a few smiles around, be social. Also, try dressing up a bit so you stand out (no hollister or abercrombie, tempting as they may be). I haven't been out in years but when I went I would wear a dress shirt, and people would constantly ask where I was coming from that I was dressed up. It's a good conversation starter.

While I don't necessarily think hook-ups are the way to go, I wish you the best of luck.

Also, Timberoo's advice is great if the guy you're aiming for isn't a douchebag... and if you hit the right guy.

Take your shirt off and smile.

I generally cop a feel and blame it on my italian nature.

Eek....I hope this isn't true, lol. Don't follow this advice!


I get really turned off by someone handling me that I don't know. My friends and I had a discussion on this since it happens so often to all of us. Most of us agree it's a real turnoff and we just feel the other guy is so desperate that this is the only way they will get action.

One friend though seems to love it, and love any attention....it would work on him.

I get a lot of guys trying to pinch my nipple and really.....after the first thousand times.....it gets really irritating. If you want to treat me like an object you've just done it. If you want to treat someone as a person try to establish a conversation with "Hi" or "hey". Obviously this is just my opinion....maybe twisting someone's nipple actually works on a few guys.

Stand somewhere in plain view and feel genuinely confident. People can smell it.

oh...dressed up is a little difficult in canada now...it's pretty cold and i have to wear really baggy jacket...but anyways a pretty shirt really works

pinching nipples? gosh,that's hot and i kinda like it....but actually "hi" doesn't work for me...

Wow, an advice based on common sense! Really good job, i like it.

Of course, i would've personally just screamed
HHEEEEEEEYYYY!!!!!!
But that doesn't quite work out right, hahaha!

I dont pinch the nipples unless I know the person. I dont know it they are a violent offender or not.

I usually just give a firm, open palm smack on the behind.

Ok well that's not bad....I was thinking of other places, lol.

Someone jammed their hand down the back of my jeans in a club once...

and I I spun around, the randomer ran away and all I saw behind me was my friend who I punched harder than I intended in the stomach (a lot harder) and left him winded and curled up on the floor, and the bouncer came over and thought he was having a epileptic fit or something...and he had no Idea why i had just punched him

Dance good

Well not doing much somehow helped me. It was my first time there. While there, I was offered a drink but refused. Then while chatting with one guy he randomly kissed me without my permission, ugh!

There was this one guy that definitely caught my eye. I whispered a few words to his buddy since I did not want to go directly up to him. I got the undivided attention I wanted...

I left ending up with 3 numbers that night and one very hot private kiss session (with the guy I was too shy to go up to). I enjoyed my birthday.

I like this response! Also its important to be confident

Ciarsolo7 saidStand somewhere in plain view and feel genuinely confident. People can smell it.

That never works.. At least not the places i've gone. I gernally see it work if it's a guy that's very talkative and talking to everyone. I tried it once and got mixed responses. One person said i was out trying to cheat on my bf, don't know where that came from. Another one said, after a drink or 2, that he probably doesn't have chance because i look like one of those cocky guys and then proceeds to walk away. Again don't know where that came from either because im the total opposite.

I find it easier when ur with at least one friend. They can see how u are naturally cause we all know someone is always watching. Usually when the friend leaves to goto the "bathroom" they make their move or u actually notice all the eye contact they're making

I didn't think anyone went to gay bars anymore; the last ten years it's been growing popularity of chat rooms, etc., that way you can see exactly what you're getting, say whatever you want, get to know the good stuff before you've wasted hours and money at a place where, generally, the kinds of guys you probably like are not going to be at gay bars.

They're just not at the bars. Nor are they coming out either. Online chat rooms are the new closets, and you can get some great pictures and maybe some halfway decent chat, but you'll never find anyone who's going to be around to see in the new year with (but the bars are the same way). It seems like no matter what city you go to when you start talking to the locals they're all complaining that they're tired of seeing the same guys all the time and nobody new ever shows up...

So if you really like bars, that might be your thing, but if you're really trying to meet guys, you might be wasting a lot of time...

Have broad shoulders. Mine work for me.

Just get on the dance floor and do your thing, no partner needed..Most of the time someone will join you[ at least in the clubs i attend]..
Dont get so caught up in meeting someone just chill.....

Me o my, talk about anger issues, with all the unwanted attension I have received in my life, I have never resorted to violence.

All I ever had to do was just stand there, and if I didn't won't to go home alone, all it took was to dance without a shirt on, worked ever time.

But I'm now past the age of doing bars and clubs, but the last time I went to one, still all I had to do was just stand there and smile.

Wave your red swollen ass around the room to let everyone know you're in season and receptive.

Wear slutty clothes that indicate you're willing to put out.

Stuff a sock in your crotch.lol

Smile and make eye contact. Be confident in the fact that you are someone worth getting to know. If someone can't handle that then you don't want THAT kind of joy killer in your life anyway - they did you a favor.

Then - say Hi and don't be afraid to talk to guys who aren't getting attention. You MIGHT just make a friend and show the others that you're secure and confident.

Before you go out and test these pearls of wisdom, give good though to how you can best "lose" a guys attention... or at least lose him. Not all attention is created equally.

Try to maintain a smile especially if you make eye contact, and do not cross your arms.

A pleasant smile and manners. But don't be a grinning idiot with everyone because you will have the wrong guys coming up to you.

A tip.......if you see a guy you think you are interested in, "accidentally" bump into him on your way to the bathroom, pause and apoligize. If he reacts all huffy and snotty, is drunk or gives you that blank zombie look, then you dodged a bullet. On your way back from the bathroom, if he was friendly and made eye contact and you like him, go up to him, introduce yourself and start talking. If things go well, offer to buy him a drink if to replace the one you bumped into (even if nothing spilled)... have a business card ready instead of fumbling and looking for a pen. Then wisper in his ear what you will do to him on a date.......lol.

Forget about waiting "three days" before you call him (thinking you may sound desparate). Call him right away and leave a message so that when he gets home that night, he hears it. And if he is into you as much as you are into him, it would be great if he returned your call that night, no matter how late it is.

Those who run seem to have all the fun.

Well, since you didn't say that you need it to be *positive* attention, you could always do a big pratfall in the middle of the room. That gets a lot of people looking at you very quickly...

Vomiting on the bar always works for me !!!

Hmmm.....


I am at a utter loss for words....I have no idea

Maybe it only works if you are hot.

This might seem strange at first but I've found it really works for me.

Before you go out have a good jerk off.

When you get to the club/bar you'll be relaxed and won't feel pressured to meet someone.

Once you've cracked this you're set. Most guys can smell desperation from a mile away. It's really unattractive.

If you do chat someone up you won't come across as a complete horndog either.

It's a theory based on the movie There's Something About Mary and it's kinda like eating a meal before going grocery shopping.

Unless you want to hook up with someone at the club. Then don't touch yourself for weeks, have a beer and enjoy yourself
