Spent 3 night in Las Vegas this week, for a business conference. It has been a strange experience. I've never been to LV before, not really a destination of my choice, as I'm not interested in gambling. I thought that perhaps I would have an opportunity to meet someone one night and have a little fun. No such luck. And as I write this I'm thinking, my god Danny, what the fuck is wrong with you if can't meet someone in Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Sin City for crying out loud. *sigh*. Well, perhaps a combination of being very selective, and bad timing too. And I discovered that the online cyber communities here are actually quite rude with lots of attitude. And that was really my only outlet to try to find someone.
I actually met a few nice guys online, but nothing that materialized even in a friendly meeting. And being that I was here for work, I had to get up early every day, so I wasn't about to explore the night clubs, which really don't get started until after 11pm.
I'm feeling a bit disgusted with myself and my life in general, but having some difficulty writing down exactly why.
I was here alone, although with a few guys who I know professionally. I just don't fit into the typical guy who enjoys coming to LV. The primary activities are gambling, drinking, and cigars. None of which I'm very interested in. Gambling just doesn't do anything for me. I'm not a heavy drinker, one or 2 beers a night is just fine for for me, and cigars make me puke. lol. So I don't really fit in. And I wasn't about to suggest to my colleagues to go check out the gay night clubs, hahah.
So after dinner plans and a drink, which would take us to about 10pm, I would call it a night, and head back to my room, and my colleagues would hit the casino floor. The time difference didn't help either as I was pretty tired by that time too. Well, I would go back to my room and get online, and try to strike up conversations with guys who I was interested in. It took a little time to sort out the real people from the escorts. And just a lot of rude guys online. But I did have a few nice chats, and I think I made one or two new cyber friends, but nothing worked out as far as meeting. Had lots of nice conversations, and then they would disappear. There was one nice guy from Canada staying at a nearby hotel who I had been chatting with for the first 2 nights. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but seemed nice enough, and he was supposed to call me last night and we were going to meet for a drink at Cesars, but he never called, and never came back online either. So not sure what happened there. I did not have his phone number.
Then, just as I was about to sign off for the night, a guy IMd me, very polite, very nice, very attractive, and very interested. But it was already very late, 11:30pm, he lived about 20 minutes away, and he had to get up early for work the next morning. Despite being very tempted to come over, and despite my attempts to convince him to come, he decided it was just too late.
So there you have it. I struck out.
Writing this in the airport waitng for my flight. And wow, they have free wireless internet access. woohooo!!!
