Just come out already dude, you are a twisted individual.
"Great place to pick up chicks." bwahahahaha
What next? You were cruising the gay bars for research also?
I don't know about now, but in the seventies some of the gay bars were your best choice for a threesome (outside of the Devil's threesome anyway.) A fair number of girls there were straight or bisexual at worst (best?), were there to dance with each other and not get hit on by rednecks, and were ofttimes receptive to an offer by the right couple. Plus I've never had a guy take a swing at me in a gay bar. All in all there were worse places to go, especially if you didn't enjoy standing in line waiting to hit on the 10 percent of the crowd who were female, not dipping snuff at the moment, and able to fit through a 24" door without losing skin or buttons. As long as you knew someone trustworthy to point out which clubs to avoid and which were open to straights, some gay bars could be good places to pick up wild chicks.
P.S. Oddly enough, even though I had no gay male friends at the time, unlike Spidey I didn't find their behavior revolting. Hell, I would had nailed chicks in the bathrooms if they'd been willing.
