Unwanted Attention at Gigs

[HeavyJay]

I've only been gigging with the 50s and 60s covers band that I'm in since April but a number of times now I've been approached by men assuming that I'm gay.

Last Sunday it was a large Glaswegian man who "sometimes goes both ways". Luckily I was saved by my wife popping in as he was being a little persistant.

Another memorable one was a young naive looking chap who got his mate to ask me out between sets, I politely declined, gesturing at the prominant wedding ring on my fretting hand (not sure how he didn't notice it as he was sat about 3 feet away from where I was playing ) and spent the following set feeling very uncomfortable as the naive young chap stared unflinchingly at me throughout.

Have you considered not wearing a dress?

It really is a problem. At the gig last night I was pestered rotten by Kate Moss. Couldn't shake her off!!

With hindsight, the leather cap, bumless chaps and large mustache were a mistake!

[YouMa]

You think a goatee might be better?

HeavyJay - you gotta post a pic mate! I never get this. Maybe I play the wrong venues, maybe I don't look of that persuasion, or maybe I'm just an ugly f***er!

[Bilbo]

Nope. Me neither. Must be you, mate.

You know BBC, a thank you cause yet again you made me laugh out loud.

You know IncX I'd give a lot to have straight black hair (any hair would be good).

Have you got the Vampyre yet?

I used to set off the occasional gaydar when I was about 14-15 but not as an adult.

I don't know what this says about society as a whole or me in particular.
