wingmeMemberWest Seattle single people, I feel your pain. I belong to a barely perceptible social sub-strata you may have heard of: single lesbian. I’ve long suspected I’m the only one of that ilk here in WS. A mixer sounds like fun. Can I come too?

ZenguyParticipantEveryone is welcome. We should have color coded name tags that indicate what you are looking for…lol.

MrJTMemberDo we get lavender Zenguy ?

wingmeMemberi thought they had hankies for that sort of thing (wink wink)
December 15, 2008 at 6:03 pm #649581
ZenguyParticipantThey do have hankies, but for a different kind of thing…lol.
Lesbians would have a socket wrench in their back pockets I am guessing.

soclwrkrinmotnMemberZenguy, I don’t think I will fit in anyone’s pocket. But I wouldn’t mind.

LoweryMemberWhat say you to the 1st WSSM (West Seattle Singles Mixer) on Thursday, Jan 8th? Or would a Sunday evening work better? I can’t make it on Fri or Sat nights.
After a day is set, we also need to decide on a spot. I’ve seen Maharaja and Jak’s mentioned so far.
I’m seeing this not as a pick-up party (if you do get picked up, more power to ya), but just as a gathering for us to meet and talk about the single life…good, bad or indifferent. And, yes, all are welcome – no matter age nor orientation.

shed22Participantcheers to that, lowery. count me in.
December 15, 2008 at 10:32 pm #649586
ZenguyParticipantIt is on my calendar. The bar at the Maharaja is bigger, JaK’s bar is pretty small.

shed22Participantshould we start a new thread?

JiggersMemberI consider WS not to be a pick up ground simply because It’s too small and not to many single girls live here anyways. I don’t take a date out in WS because I don’t want her to know were my favorite hangouts are(Tom Leykis rule). I hit Belltown and leave them in Belltown. 1)I never bring a girl back to my place 2) never buy her friends drinks,only her.3) and always use protection. Just my two cents here..lol

austinMemberJiggers those sound like excellent rules of engagement if you don’t want your “date”‘s pimp finding too much out about you.
December 16, 2008 at 12:04 am #649590
JanSParticipantDamn, Jiggers…what a great date you sound like…gracious, charming,always a gentleman…and frugal…yeah, can’t forget frugal……
December 16, 2008 at 12:56 am #649591
What TheMemberJiggers – I hope you at least slow the car down to under 15mph when you drop them off in Belltown!
December 16, 2008 at 1:29 am #649592
wingmeMemberVery good then, Jan. 8th. Gives us a week to recover from our various holiday “traditions”. Zen Guy: nothing against socket wrenches but not my tool of choice if I’m packin’. Jiggers: it’s guys like you…oh never mind.
December 16, 2008 at 1:42 am #649593
JiggersMemberWell….I met girls in the past who I thought were cool only later turned out to go psycho on you. I don’t need that crap anymore so I learned.

Synergy3kMemberSounds like a plan to me. :) I work until 9 most nights, so hopefully this isn’t an early evening plan!

LoweryMemberI was going to keep this in but I have to get a little rant off my chest…I went out last night with a friend. We were talking to a couple of ladies (they were already in relationships) at the table next to us about the single scene in WS from a male’s POV. One of them said that they have a friend that says it’s hard to meet guys, also, because men don’t approach her. WTF?!? This drives me nuts! I hear this way too much in Seattle, as opposed to other parts of the country I’ve lived in. Why do women complain about not meeting guys just based on the fact that guys don’t come up to them? I’m all for female equality, so why not be equal when it comes to which sex approaches the other? If it was a case that she wasn’t meeting guys because they won’t come up to her AND the ones she goes up to are already taken or are not available for any other reason, I could understand that. But I have been to a lot of libraries and still have yet to come across the rule book that says women can’t get off their tushes and initiate with a guy if she’s interested.
Ok, now that I’ve calmed down, someone help me down off this soapbox…
December 19, 2008 at 9:34 pm #649598
JanSParticipantHey, I agree. And…how easy was that to talk with them, sitting at the next table. Who initiated that conversation? I suppose I’m just a friendly person. If I’m out with a female friend, and there is a male person at the next table, if I want to initiate a conversation, I will. It doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m looking to get picked up….it means that I’m friendly. I suppose it’s nice if you find out the other person is not “taken”, and you hit it off, but…unless you’re specifically out looking to hook up, good conversation is just that, good conversation. There is nothing scary about men (well, most of them), and I say the same thing about most women – not scary.
I think that approaching someone at the bar who one finds attractive is equally difficult for either sex. And who likes a pick-up line anyway. But making conversation like you did last night with your friend is a much better approach. And who knows where it would go. And I see nothing wrong with women initiating that kind of conversation. And if the guy(s) you bring into the conversation is non-responsive, then he’s not worth your time any way.
