Compared to other cities there is something for everyone here. Anyone else agree?

Gonna be in DC this weekend and looking for bars/clubs to go to. Wondering if there’s any themed events for the 4th of July? Also I’m 23 so I’m looking for place close to my age, most of what I could find tend to skew older.

This is my first time visiting a big city, and since I'll be staying with family, I can only go into the city on my own during the daytime. (They don’t know about me)

Is visiting gay bars on Independence Day weekend in the afternoon worth it? Which bar would be a good place to meet and talk to people? I'm an introvert, so it's difficult for me to start conversations with new people.

From looking at posts on this subreddit, people have suggested Trade or Freddie’s as a good option.

Hey everyone
As the tittle says, my husband and I (29,31) are in the process of relocating from NYC to DC for work reasons. (Law)
We are still looking and doing research on neighborhoods, mainly looking around Logan Circle and Dupont Circle but open to suggestions.
We mostly enjoy going out for dinners/drinks and occasionally go out dancing. Usually prefer a more quiet area. (If you’re familiar with NYC we’re in the UWS)
Also looking for suggestions on how to build our social circle, any recs on that would be appreciated. We are both pretty active and will probably go to equinox and maybe find a running club.
Any others suggestions or ideas are welcome.
Thanks 😊

does anyone know of gay bars on 14th/admo/northwest that regularly show world cup games?

Wanted to see if there are other single guys that have moved to DC in your mid 40s.
How has your experience been? Have you been able to make friends? Where do you meet people? What has dating been like?
Would love to know your experience so far.

I'd love to go out and watch tonight

So I know every other post here is how to find community but this is that plus a genuine question. Is it really so much of a red flag that I have mostly straight friends? Multiple guys have said it's a red flag, one even just said "ew".

I'm in my 30s gay man and I go to gay bars all the time. But tbh I feel like all the gays are so clicky and I'm open to making friends but I just don't feel welcome. This is not a "I'm not like the other boys situation" I want to participate in the community, I would love to have more gay friends. It just feels a little closed off to an older, average looking guy. I'm not even like straight presenting or anything I'm more in the middle as far as masc/fem.

I'm not doing Stonewall either it feels like I'm rushing a frat and I don't have time for all the different events

So I guess my question is how can I make more gay friends when it feels like I'm already behind for my age and apparently my friend group is a red flag?

Looking for passionate freaky fun

Blk vers guy open minded freak

Moved from NW to Navy Yard, and I'm having a little bit more trouble getting used to the more corporate feel of Navy Yard. Any folks here recommend ways to find community down here?

My bf and I would like to make some friends with other couples around our age (early 30s). Are there any spaces/events where couples can be found that aren’t a bar?

Visiting DC this weekend. What are the recommendations for bars or clubs to just go to? I don’t know anyone in the DMV.

Thanks

i’ve never seen so many breeders here like i swear im the only gay here

I'm visiting for the weekend. Any recommendations on some cool gay bars to hit up. I'm staying at the Westin DC City center so anywhere close to that would be great.

Edit: Thanks a lot guys. Green Lantern was great! I met someone out there and we went together to Trade. We found out that we were staying at the same hotel. Needless to say, it was an awesome night. All thanks to everyone that commented.

Tomorrow is frederick pride and i’m planning to go to the lodge gay bar. Is this a thing a lot of dc guys go to? What are the vibes?

Hi! Im moving to DC soon and wanted to see if there is any lqbtq primary care doctors anyone suggests? Also mental health doctors but atleast a primary care would be great!

It cost him 500k to buy it outright so I am not disappointed on my return on investment as I made a few bucks but this was supposed to be our forever home. Unknown to him, I bought a beachfront property in Ogunquit(a pristine gay oasis). Do I share pictures of this house ? He literally paid for 80 percent of it. Or do I just move on? I love my condo in Logan Circle and it’s paid for. The kicker is that his mother wants me at her 80th birthday party. I am not sure that I want to go because she adores me and I don’t want to screw up their relationship. She blames him for our divorce because he was the one who cheated and got screwed by his new much younger boyfriend. I didn’t think twice about divorcing him as this was the second time he cheated.

Before too much time has passed I just wanted to say thanks to the Capital Pride Alliance, all the volunteers, participants, sponsors and others who made last weekend’s PRIDE celebrations in DC a reality. And thanks to all the local businesses supporting our community and the celebrations! I also really enjoyed meeting a lot of new friends…

As someone who traveled from the deep South, the reality is the Wash DC LGBTQIA+ community knows how to put on a celebration & party! I thought last year’s WORLD PRIDE would be a tough act to follow, but this year’s celebrations were FABULOUS! Thanks so much! See you next year!

PS to the super cute twink in the line for TRADE one evening — thanks for the memory! It will be one that I’ll remember for sure! And I truly hope you found what you were looking for that evening!

Storytime: One night last week I was walking down 14th St. with a friend and there was a fairly long line to get into some business. I assume it was TRADE, but asked a cute twink in line to confirm. After confirming, before I even had time to say thanks, he added (with a hint of a smile) that this club has a maximum age, GRANDPA. (In fairness I am in my early 50s, and fit.) Anyway, I took this in the (humorous) manner I assumed it was intended, and quickly responded that I wasn’t planning to stop in, since I was sure there were not any hot twinks in there that night. Anyway, we continued walking as my friend and I had places to be, people to see.

The funny thing was the twink was super cute, and until he added the comment, “Grandpa” was going to spot him $100 for drinks for he and his friends, since I did not have time to go in an buy a round of drinks. But not after that comment! Anyway my friend had a great laugh as we walked on, and re-told that story many many times over the remaining days at various places (at my expense). I did try to get my friend as we were walking away to go back and at least spot him a few bucks for drinks for the great laugh (certainly my friend got a lot of laughs from retelling the story that it would have been worth it) — but he was not feeling charitable. Anyway maybe don’t pick on your elders, because good things come to those who wait! And thanks for the core memory — if for no other reason we’ll always remember that trip!

I’ve looked into some social groups online and it seems like most of the participants are in their late 30s-40s, which is fine! I’m open to friends of all ages! But ofc I do relate to my own generation most but I never know where to find them besides the club, which I am not a fan of to begin with. How to meet people?
