We all know what you are doing. And no, no one is interested and hanging out in the locker room and bouncing between the sauna and showers is completely obvious.

For anyone who works out at vida mid afternoon to early evening you 100 percent have seen him. I wont describe to avoid doxxing

Only reason I started paying attention is I caught him staring at me when changing a couple times.

Since then I have kept an eye out and it seems like *every* time I work out he is there. i have changed. done a full 60+ min workout, 15 min in the sauna and shower and he is still there, sometimes moving back and forth between the sauna/steam room and showers.

Can we stop please!

Da fuck, I had been texting with a guy, we had matched in multiple occasions, finally meeting up after some back and forth on scruff, only to find out he had blocked me just before taking the metro 😂 and this was a normal date, no hookup (so no classic jack off then delete)

I guess it was something to check off the bucket list!

Moved here from Europe 2 years ago.

I noticed how transient DC is and I'm just curious to know where you guys are from, and if some US states are significantly more represented than others?

22M. I recently moved to DC and I want to start going out more. Online people seem to agree that these are good places. Are they ok for people to go solo? At least i’ll get s drink but just wanna understand the vibe.

going to spa world this week. any suggestions? anyone going to be around?

Hey there everyone,

Some background: So, historically I've been a bit of a shut in, but have made it a goal of mine to actually go outside, get out more, touch grass, etc. I like house music so I decided to go check out tomorrow's unspeakable joy event at district eagle. It does appear that from the outside the vibe there might be a little much for someone who is historically more of a homebody but I kind of just want to rip the bandaid off at this point. I guess I'm kind of hoping to prove to myself that I won't go into shock when around a crowd of people with more energy than a senior citizen bingo meetup lol.

My question: Would anyone here have any input re: what to expect there or advice for navigating the space/having a fun, safe time? Especially since I have approximately zero prior experience with bars (gay or otherwise).

I was planning on arriving a bit before 10 (when the event starts) to kind of familiarize myself a bit with the surroundings before things get packed and also avoid any lines, idk if that's necessary though.

Thanks (:

Hi all, I just moved to DC recently and looking to meet other gays in the city and DMV area. I know there are a few clubs, only been to crush and trade, but beyond clubs where else can you meet people? Not looking for romance right now, but a place to try and find some fun and friends would be great. If it is clubs, I know different places have different themes to them, what would you all recommend? Thank you!

Very recently was shut down due to lack of moderation. It was a busy subreddit so it's a shame to see it go away. Is anything else filling the void? I see /r/gaynova exists, but is dead and I assume also has no moderation.

My first post here, and I just wanted to share a little story.

To start, I’m married and we’re open. I went to a baby shower today, my first one ever, and I was actually excited to hang out and chat with a bunch of strangers about random life stuff.

About 20 minutes after I arrived, this really hot bear guy showed up. He instantly caught my attention, and I realized he was looking at me too. At first, I thought I was probably imagining it because he was just that hot (rugby-built, sexy bear energy). I didn’t think much of it and told myself a baby shower probably wasn’t the place to flirt with strangers, so I moved on.

Soon after, he approached me and started talking, introduced me to his wife, etc. At that point I was like, okay, my gaydar is way off!! lol

Then, while we were talking, I mentioned that I’m gay, and he goes, “Oh, great — I play for both teams” 👀

The moment he found out I’m gay, he got very comfortable and started complimenting basically everything I said. Mind you, his wife was part of this whole conversation.

They told me we should stay in touch and that I should come visit sometime to hang out and play with their pets.

Again, I moved on to talk to other people, and about 30 minutes later he came up to me again, pulled me aside, and said, “Hey, we’re leaving — can I get your number so we can stay in touch?”

I gave him my number, he texted me right there, and then they left.

After the party, I followed up and said it was great meeting them and that I’d be happy to hang out sometime… but crickets lol. Maybe they just got busy or something, but it was such a sexy, flirtatious encounter… I was not expecting the silence. This is not anything serious and I’m simply sharing a story time so don’t get too crazy in the comments lol. Have you ever had anything like this happen to you?

Sure, there’s always going to be people who find the one on an app or something, but I’ve been trying for years and even when I get matches I’m interested in, almost no one is able to have a convo or put in any form of effort.

Has anyone had success on other, less popular apps? Or any in-person dating events?

Anyone going to Black Pride? I wanna go but I’m scared to go by myself

Hi all,

Single mid 30s guy and looking for a gay group travel options. Not big into gay cruises, but hoping for a gay group tour more focused on cultural sites, history, etc. Anyone have any good recommendations? Bonus points for trips that might have single guys around my age range! Really hoping to find a great experience and have something to look forward to this summer. Thanks in advance :)

Hi! I need help with the gay club scene in DC. I want to go somewhere that plays remixes of gay pop music all night long (doesn’t have to be gay artists but you know what I mean—Gaga, Robyn, Britney, Zara, Sabrina, Troye, these are just examples but that’s the vibe I want). And where people are dancing and having fun. Is there a spot i need to try? Or some DJs to follow? Thanks!

My husband and I will go to DC next weekend- any recommendations?
