The World's Worst Cruiser

[+ Lucky]

I envy guys who can smile at the drop of a hat, or otherwise approach the object of their lust with poise and confidence. Lately there has been a very hot Latino guy at my gym, which is rare (the hot part). He was there today and I started wondering if he is gay, which wouldn't be too common there, especially because there are many Macho Mexicans, Anyway, he dressed conservatively but sexy, had too cute a face, and ignored the hell out of me.

 

Now I could have found any number of excuses to speak to him, but that's not me! When I left, I noticed a guy hanging out front and wished that had been my guy. I looked up, and there, sitting in one of the fanciest Mercedes convertibles you have ever seen, was Latin Guy. He gave me the hardest stare as if to say, "Okay, take your shot!" but I couldn't do it. I could have just said "Nice car" or something to break the ice. Instead I got into my car, looked backed again, and there he was, giving me yet another stare! By now I couldn't handle it and drove off. Surely a guy with a nice car like that is already spoken for...or at least doesn't need the money?

 

What would you have done?

[+ Hoover42]

Well, I'm so ugly I never have to worry about that happening to me. Guys usually just spit and grimace when they see me.

 

However, in the highly unlikely chance that it did happen, I would do exactly the same thing you did.

 

Hopefully, someone here has more courage than either one of us.

 

OK, I'm off to take my medication...

LOL! A very funny post for your 700 Club entry!

Asked him if he would like to go see the "Follies". ;-) ;-)

More cliches and stereotypes than Carter has little liver pills!

WTF?, and all this time I assumed that you were older than 14, but that's my bad.

HUH??? Please elaborate! Has to be more to this statment than what you reveal here. I can only assume that you mean that he came on to you, as a hooker boy????

WHAT???? IMO, going by your recounting of the episode, he was interested in you, and yep, you BLEW it and not in the good sense of that word.

 

Sheesh, is it really that difficult to believe that a good looking young man would be interested in you, just because of you, and not the money? If that's what you really believe, then perhaps you should step away from the escort hiring scene for a while, or at the very least buy some new mirrors???

If I had gotten all those "come ons", then I'd still be cumming with him! :7

"WHAT???? IMO, going by your recounting of the episode, he was interested in you, and yep, you BLEW it and not in the good sense of that word."

 

Essentially, that's the gist of my post! As far as the commercial angle, well, that's a good point. The best part is that I may have another chance. I now know his workout schedule...

The Follies? The escort doesn't exist that could get me to see that again!

(You have a good memory.)

Hawk, it’s been a very, very, VERY, long time since I have seen or heard that phrase used. It’s a phrase my mother used to say. For our much younger set here they are going to need some clarification as to just who is Carter and what are Liver Pills?

 

A quick Google indicates that such pills date back to the 19th century from the days of patent medicines. These heavily advertised pills were supposed to cure every thing from "“sick headache”, biliousness, constipation, and bad complexions." Collectors pay decent money for the ads and paraphernalia on e-bay. Not sure if it’s still produced today.

 

So for the younger set here you guys need to know it refers to large quantities of something and since it’s a relief for, ahem, "digestive issues" it indicates being full of shit. At least that's how I have heard the elder members of my family use the phrase.

 

One question Hawk, given the nature of some of your posts, do you use the product? :+

[+ Charlie]

Nowadays, when someone like that cruises me, it's such a pleasure that I don't need the sex. I just smile at him and continue on my way. However, if I were a stud like you, I would at least say, "Que pasa, chico?" The car may belong to his john (I know: stereotype), and he might be looking for some fun on the side.

"One question Hawk, given the nature of some of your posts, do you use the product?"

 

No, I don't! But given the nature of some of your posts, do you in turn, avoid products stamped with the FLEET logo, as it could be hazardous to your health? ala flushing yourself down the old drain! :+

Thanks, Lucky!

 

Your post reminding me of an article I found on a Usenet newsgroup a few years ago that had a number of tips for successful street cruising.

 

One of the tips was not to bother going after any guy who didn’t look you in the eyes. The article said that those situations could still be turned around, but it was only for advanced cruisers and therefore not generally recommended.

 

Unfortunately, over an hour of searching of Google has turned up nothing. Apparently the article is lost.

 

If anyone can find that, I would love to see it posted here.

 

Meanwhile, I'll keep looking when I get the time.

'One of the tips was not to bother going after any guy who didn’t look you in the eyes"

 

DUH, how many tax dollars were spent funding the OBVIOUS????

 

Really, street cruising is so damn easy!!! Its ALL about the eye contact, as any newbie to the scene could tell you after just 1 day of cruising! :o :o :o :o

[Lookin]

I don’t think this is your article, but it’s fun. I like the quote from the Stop Aids Project coordinator: “Gay men have a lot of fun for sure,” commented Miller, “and they have a knack for finding sex anywhere.”

 

http://www.sfbaytimes.com/?sec=article&article_id=4581

 

Some other tips from the cruising instructors: Eye contact is key, but grabbing the crotch is a sure sign. There is the 1-2-3 rule: when you pass someone you think might be interested in you, count to three and turn around. If he has turned around too, you have a very good chance of hooking up. Motion with your head or hand. Be aware that too much talking can be a deal breaker, where you are in danger of becoming fellow cruising buddies rather than connecting with him sexually. Don’t chat loudly in front of a sexual scene in the club, and do NOT queen scream down the hallways.

 

 

I was with them right up to the no queen screaming part.

[+ Hoover42]

Thanks for the interesting link, Lookin.

 

I've still had no luck finding that newsgroup article.

 

Hey, did you ever see that public sex magazine called Steam? I have the complete collection in my closet somewhere (no pun intended!).

 

Maybe I should comb through those magazines and come up with a new set of tips.

 

I'm sure I can find something interesting.

 

...Hoover

[Lookin]

I've never seen Steam, but it sounds hot.

 

Here's a website on cruisy places. It's a complex site but, if you name your city and click "show all pages", you'll see what's going on where you are.

 

 

http://listings.cruisingforsex.com/cfs/index.php

 

 

The main page also has escort info. How conve-e-nient!

 

 

I'd love to hear what's in your closet, when you go diving in there. That would make a good thread on its own: "What's tucked away in your closet?"

Macho guys can't be gay?? Gee, I'd better tell Derek (and millions of other macho gay guys) that they'd better start queening it up.

[djroth]

Lucky, i can certainly empathize. I am WAY too introverted for my own good and it makes me nuts! You are definitely not number one in this area. I know there are many reasons guys hire escorts, but my reason, and i suspect the same for many others, is because i just don't know how to approach guys. Making it a business transaction makes it much easier.

 

I've got a question on the gym situation. I've only been a regular for 2 months and in my very short experience it doesn't seem like a particularly good place to MEET guys. Sure you see lots of hunks, but they are always preoccupied with their routine, the mirrors, or their frickin' ipods to engage in any conversation. I've seen extremely little interaction at my gym, is that the norm or is it just my experience because of my shyness?

The "macho Mexican" culture at the gym would generally preclude any open cruising for men. Have you ever been to a straight gym, Rick?

[+ Lucky]

At gay gyms, the cruising usually takes place in the steam room. But don't for a minute think that those guys pumping iron are not sneaking peeks at everyone around them!

Oh, OK, you didn't say that; you said that it wouldn't be common for anyone to be gay since they're all macho. That's different!

 

>Have you ever been to a

Every day...usually in New Jersey or one of the outer boroughs of NYC (and almost every time, a hot straight boy will be checking Derek out and eventually ask him how he got those huge traps).

Anyone familiar with Latin culture, or who has dealt with gay Latinos in a personal, not professional basis, would not have misinterpreted Lucky's observation! He speaks the truth!

 

Why you felt the need to get all riled up and pc about it, is anyone's guess. My guess would be, wtf, I'm sure I don't have to state it here, as I'd wager you already know the answer.

[Guest alanm]

How about second generation Latinos? I know many who have either served in the military (Iraq) or have some college. Many are gay friendly, others are not. That macho background is still there for some, so Latinos do not quite match the general population in tolerance on sexual preference.

 

But, I have wandered away from Lucky's gym where the atmosphere seems to make it easier to look than start a conversation.

[Guest RandyRon]

When I was young (that was in the last century. No! not the 1800s but about 1955), I was so shy my best friend said that my method of cruising was to sit and pray. As I entered my 30s, I got bolder especially in the bath house situations. My best line was "Hey stud! Want to fuck a fat lady?" It almost always got a laugh and quite often I got some magnificent dick. :P
