JoKoYuGi2 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) I don't think there's no such a thing as no market. If you are here to make a few friends, there are a few that are friendly enough to talk to you. The hard part is trying to find them haha.

neuwave Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Well, there are times where you just want to be alone. It is absolutely nothing wrong on having to visit like Taboo or Tantric etc alone. If your main aim is to connect with other strangers, don't be shy and just speak up. You have nothing to lose Creevie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbitch Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Are you the sort who would feel a bit daunted if you're alone and everyone else is having fun in their own groups? If so weekdays might be a better idea. Fridays/Saturdays are where the cliques come in full force. Creevie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repressednerd Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) I didn't use to go to clubs/pubs alone before I went to live overseas for work. I learnt to appreciate going to pubs alone and enjoying the scene while living overseas, and yes, I learnt to also speak to people when the situation allowed it. Back here in Singapore, I still go for a drink on Mondays at pubs to prepare myself for the week ahead. Places around Boat Quay are what I like. Thursday is a time for me to read a book at a quieter place with a glass of whiskey. And probably a gay bar on Friday to soak up the atmosphere. (Love to hear the chatter of people while sitting at the counter.) Went a few times to 1Altitude (gay night) to enjoy the skyline while enjoying a nice drink to myself. And just something about age, before PLAY closed down, Taboo was the place for guys above 30. Which means you were the youngsters if you were in your thirties. I remember seeing so many hot guys in their 40s. They probably went elsewhere or do private dance parties now.

Steve5380 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I didn't enter the gay scene until I was in my 40s, and I find most successful to go alone. Not for being unsociable, but a person alone is much more approachable than someone who is there with someone else. This goes for bars, discos, gay saunas, etc. We should not feel bad for being alone. Usually alone -> available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a drink on Mon to prepare u for the week ahead?? How does that work? ;) Yeah I went to Play before. Even Zirca on Sundays. All gone now. Ok shall drop by Taboo or Tantric to see see look look. And probably somewhere on coming Sat too. When is 1Altitude Gay Night? I used to work around the area and always pass by 1Altitude but didn't really had the impulse to enter.

The only bad thing is drinks are so ex in Singapore that I just do beer by the riverside just before payday. Monday drinks is probably a mentality thing for me. I like to welcome the first day of the week than have blues over it. And some places do give good deals for Monday. Since there are so many interesting events (like Hypertainment, Man About Town etc), Taboo isn’t really interesting to me now. I prefer May Wong Cafe to Tantric. For 1Altitude gay nights, you probably need to follow Hypertainment on Facebook or sign up for their mailing list. They organise gay nights on the eve of public holidays. Next upcoming one is Christmas Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please share your thoughts or opinions here if you please, thanks! Can jio jio me or join me to go chillax too In my eyes it all boils down to the question or fact how daring you are to make new friends quickly, talk to strangers and get acquainted by others. If you are the super shy type, then probably it will be difficult to go alone to these places. You must be able to connect with others easily otherwise it will be boring and then it is better to bring someone along with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West93 Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I usually go for a night out drinking alone. I find it easier and much more free that way for me, to be able to go anywhere I want, stay as long as I want, and not need to take care of drunken friends haha. Not really into clubs though as I'm not much of a dancer. Usually places like KPO or The Public House are my favourite haunts, though I might have to break my preference for solo flying and meet up with people to go to Tantric together since that place whilst nice isn't really meant for people to go alone.

Non-gay establishments are nice... you can just sit and chill, or join the dance floor when good music comes. Gay establishments ofc are for socializing or getting laid.

Please share your thoughts or opinions here if you please, thanks! Can jio jio me or join me to go chillax too The Scene is on the wane due to the proliferation of social medias. The last I heard, this is still the post-modernist small mass market. You decide if you target the meat or meet market. Perform some self-comparison with (often touched-up) pictures of prostitutes on the Web. Drink expensive drinks or simply join the drink-up club, here.

Good music can be quite subjective. If you are looking for dance music, I think Taboo still does it pretty well (if DJ Lorri is still there). And any gay establishment that has DJ George Leong is also pretty good. If you like to hear 'live' singing, I think karaoke pubs like Lluvia are quite good. There is a stereotype that big-boned guys can sing really well since they have the body mass to do so. Creevie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drama Leads To Being Alone Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 A black guy who I know from when I studied in America is visiting, so my boyfriend and I went to Taboo with him, but shortly after arriving we ran into my ex, so my boyfriend decided to act immature, and we ended up leaving our guest there alone. When I texted my friend to apologize this morning, he replied that he stayed for several more hours and mostly just danced by himself and wasn't going to et our drama ruin his holiday weekend, but several guys came up and asked him why he was alone. LOL. I guess the idea of being at a pub or club alone really is strange to many Singaporeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjboy Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Never been any gay club so far. But tired once a straight club during my one of my coworker's farewell. Pretty boring and noisy for me. Dancing and body sweaty. Make myself very clumsy. Maybe I'm not that kind of party person? Prefer to fuck on bed till sweaty rather than in a club.
