Top 10 Tips for the Straight Girl at the Gay Club

prev next

10. Wear something Ridiculous

A little black dress has no place in a gay club. You've got to think more Madonna in the '80s. We're talking lace and visible bras and whatever you think you would have wanted to wear when you were 12 and wanted to be a dancer/astronaut/weathergirl. Put on twice as much jewelry as you normally would (and three times as much makeup). You want to look fun, not like you’re the sexiest minidress in a Jersey Shore party.

9. Don't expect a ladies room

There will be unisex, single stall bathrooms you will have to wait your turn for. If two guys manage to slip in to have a little fun, well…you may be waiting a while. However, if this doesn’t happen, you’ll be waiting on the shortest bathroom line of your life--guys don’t take nearly as much time-and you’ll be squatting over a questionable toilet in no time. Just don’t take an hour to reapply your lipstick; people won’t be very understanding.

8. Wear comfortable shoes and not your highest heels

Oh come on, this night is all about dancing. It’s not about walking down the catwalk, or making your legs look longer, or whatever reason you wear those blister-givers. Granted, more guys will drool over your shoes here than anywhere else, but it won’t make an ounce of difference for your changes of getting laid (spoiler alert—it’s zero).

7. You don’t have to wait for a drink if you don’t look like a bitch

A lot of girls tell me they’re afraid that everybody will treat them like outsiders because they’re girls. It’s a myth that isn’t true--I’ve gotten free drinks from bartenders just for smiling and showing my support for my gay comrades. You won’t have to wait forever, and as always, smiling and being polite will always get you extra with anybody in the service industry. Just be careful, though, you will be doling out a lot of cash—gay clubs are notoriously expensive, and there’s usually a cover.

6. When your gay friend is making out, just make new friends

Your GBF might find himself making out on the dance floor, and you might find yourself looking around, wondering what to do until he’s done. Answer? Dance! Just dance with everybody around you--the dance floor in a gay club for a straight girl is the same as dancing in your room with your best friends during a sleepover- no judgments, just lots of shimmies. Relax, and congratulate yourself on your wingman skills.

5. Expect to sweat

Nothing is sweatier than a gay club dance floor. Not your Bikram yoga class, not your bed after another night of whiskey sleep-sweats. It’s the best workout you can get, so make sure you pack a travel-sized deodorant in that purse. You’re going to need it.

4. Do shots, and a lot of them

I mean, if there’s any night you get to be a drunken slob, this is definitely one of them. Who cares if you fall on your butt while dancing, who cares if your makeup runs and you hug everybody and you drop it like it’s hot? This is the night to rock out with your...well, you don’t have one of those. Embrace it tonight!

3. Bring another girlfriend

It couldn’t hurt if you had another lovely lady by your side the whole night. You’ll have another girl to hang out with once all your gay friends start mingling, and you’ll giggle over the cute guys you’ll see. She will also prevent you from texting your ex if the boys in your life are otherwise occupied.

2. Lose yourself in the art of the dance

Go all out, girls! This public arena is your Footloose barn! Try some new moves, especially sexy ones involving a lot of grinding that would be creeptastic to try out on some random straight dude (although he'd probably enjoy it).

1. Don't be afraid to look at the merchandise

There's going to be a heck of a lot of cute guys, most likely shirtless, at the club tonight. It's okay--a girl can dream. And you should dream. Have fun watching the six-packs go by, it's like a hot man parade.
