WOW...there are a lot of guys in this bar.

So, my friend and I were exploring DuPont Circle yesterday and we were trying to find cool places to hang out. As we were trying to decide where to go, we determined that standing at an intersection looking lost can strike up a lot of conversations, but most of that population was a little too elderly.

We moved on from our intersection to check out several cool places in the area, when suddenly my friend remembered this one bar that was a little farther off the DuPont beat and more towards Georgetown. As we head into the bar, it seems like the typical scene. We were greeted by your typical husky bouncer and then we turn around and see...a whole bunch of guys. Jackpot! But after a second glance, I noticed most of these men looked like...they were not on our team. As we pass by a group, one forcefully says, "Bonjour" to my friend. The greeting seems energetic, but not really friendly. We discover that there is an upstairs, so we go up the stairs to see if the crowd is different. As we go upstairs, there are all men. I mean like 100%. But as we go to that floor, most of the men looked at us like we were intruders.

"Wow! There are so many men here!" my friend tells me excitedly.
"Uh...I think we're at a gay bar." I tell my friend.
"What?! No." she retorts. "There are just a lot of men"
....as we are still being stared at in an indescribable way.

My friend is still in disbelief as I stand at the doorway awkwardly...and hint that we go downstairs, where at least the men aren't the built of football players.

We are still debating the legitimacy of this place as we head back down the stairs and eventually find some stools. Within 2 seconds of sitting down, without so much as a blink from any of the guys, who seem to be having intense conversations with their guy friend, my friend finally believes me.

"You're right... I think this is a gay bar."

And with that we awkwardly leave within the 5 minutes we arrived.

Great way to meet men perhaps, but not potentials...
