Well, now that I'm more or less sane (state of stability is still in question though) and awake I'm finally about to write something about the latter paragraph of this entry.
Again, the majority of the gay culture that has become popular in the US are the bar-hopping, a-lay-a-day people a la "Queer As Folk" and "Will & Grace". Naturally people would assume that that's how the majority of people life their lives. So, in the grand traditions of mass conformity, someone who isn't normally up for the chase would attempt it on occasion. The thing about that lifestyle is that it's addictive; everything is fleeting and superficial with a general sense of having a fun time.
But it is a more attractive way of finding a mate. Stumbling on the perfect guy doesn't quite work these days (and you can take the entries in this blog as proper evidence if you're so inclined to do so) and online/personal ads seem very sleazy and almost desperate.
Which is why people rely on connections like the duck said.
My reasoning is that there're a lot of people who live the life of the clubbing queen who really disagree with it... but do it because everyone else does. So there's always an off-beat chance that one might stumble on such a person, but that still requires much luck.
Heh, that's my problem. I hesitate too often.
