As a gay man in Boston, I'd be fascinated if someone revisited those numbers in a queer context: how do things change for bisexuals? Homosexuals? What's the effect of mixed genders in a bar? The common trend seems to just be packing more 21-35 year old men into a room, and I don't know how far that is from optimal.
- mynameishere 17y agoYou're asking what the gay scene is like in San Francisco?
- jimboyoungblood 17y agoI think he's asking what would happen if 10 extra gay guys showed up at the bar instead of 10 straight dudes.
- danielrhodes 17y agoHow would you measure that? Who is the cat and who is the mouse?
- jibiki 17y agoPerhaps, in environments where gay guys have lots of high status potential partners, they tend to hold out for more (so that it becomes harder for everyone to find a relationship.) But, uh, probably not.
- lsb 17y agoNo, I'm wondering, if you have 100 gays at a bar, what different demographics would add or detract from it. Cause if you have 10 more hot guys, there's nothing stopping them from dancing in a clique unconnected to anyone else, versus 10 ladies who probably didn't go out to hook up with each other at the end of the night. Are there different types of guys you could incentivize to show up, like Ladies' Night?
- defen 17y agoContrary to what the movies/TV portray, generally when groups of straight single women go out to bars together they are not looking to hook up.
