Professional gay men? or gay men that need professional help?

Well mortals! Last night i went with Oliver to an event called "Village Drinks" - this is a monthly social for single, professional gay men in London. The organisers book a different bar in London each month and encourage gay men to come along and mingle. It is generally aimed at lawyers, bankers, financiers, media people etc. Obviously me and oliver went with the aim of bagging ourselves a money soaked hottie! Alas this was not to be...

The bar that had been booked was way too small for the hundreds of guys that turned up so we were penned in like battery hens. There was no cloakroom and the nasty wine was way too expensive, it all just felt like a bit of a joke really - over hearing conversations where guys were bragging about what business they were in, where they lived. All just a load of verbal penis extensions. As for the dancing that happened later, gay men dancing in suits as if they are in a gay club is just wrong - wave that tie bitch!!

We decided that we would go again but instead of dressing up to impress we would go as ourselves, it was very much a romy and michelle's high school reunion moment (if you have not seen this film just go and buy it, its truly hilarious!), If we are gonna get judged on who we are and the way we look, i would prefer to feel comfortable whilst it's happening.

Little recommendation - i have just bought "The Feelings" new album and it is great, lovely bouncy indie tunes for all to enjoy!

Is it really that bad. I have been thinking about going for a while. Some friends have quite enjoyed it. Have you been back? B x

I headed along last night and actually quite enjoyed it. A bit of a meatmarket though. Did you head along?
