Hot women love gay men

Went clubbing the other night and saw throngs of hot women in the VIP section grinding up against these two gay guys.

I got to admit- as a straight man - sometimes I wish I were gay. It would be cool. we'd get home, watch basketball on the TV, play some video games and then have sex. That would be both awesome and convenient. Plus, I wouldn't have to blow a lot of money on dinners and flowers.

For this and other reasons I don't attract many women. Actually I don't attract any women, but that's not the point. Gay men seem to have the power to attract women. It's not fair.

I can't really explain why hot girls are into gay men. I think it has something to do with the fact that too many men lust for them and consequently they seek attention from the only people that have no business giving attention to them in the first place.

It makes no sense, but then hot girls and have no business being into me, so I guess it's more or less the same. People always want what they can't have. How depressing.

Amsterdam

So I just got into Amsterdam a short while ago. On route to a training out in the middle of nowhere in the Netherlands. Oh well at least we get to spend the weekend in the city. I turn 30 on Thursday. I haven't thought about this much but it's strange to think that I'm turning the corner. I don't feel like a grown up. I think maybe because I don't have any responsibility for anyone but myself. No girlfriend, no kids, parents doing fine. I don't know how I should feel about that. Relieved? Inadequate? Got it. 30.

Sensitivity

I've become a more sensitive man since moving to Europe.

I used to think "sensitive man" was just another way of calling a guy a pussy but lately I've realized that's not really the definition of sensitive. Sensitive refers to the ability to understand how a person is feeling without that person having to tell you. I can't believe it took me 29 years for me to figure that out.

Hamburg weekend

For the past three weeks I've been commuting back and forth to Hamburg. As is the consulting tradition I've not seen any of the city other than my hotel and the client site. Hopefully that changes this weekend.

I'm not sure what I'll find. I read recently that there is a club here where the Beatles used to perform on a regular basis.

Other than that, it's pretty much up to me to explore this town. I wonder what I'll find?
