Ian: You're not gonna regret this dude. Might wanna stock up on prophylactics before we go, because you're going to be drowning in cock.
Friday Night...
Narrator: It's Ian's turn to wing for you. You drive over to Charlie's, feeling your stomach twist. Ian is chatty and filled with enthusiasm.
Ian: Dude, you're pretty quiet. Everything okay?
Adam: Yeah, I'm fine. A little nervous.
Ian: Hey, you just relax, dude. Don't be surprised if I get you in the middle of your orgy tonight.
Adam: Ian, I'd just be fine meeting one guy who has decent hygiene and isn't a felon.
Ian: Okay, bro, you don't wanna to be too picky. Let's keep our options open for now. (reaches over and ruffles Adam's hair)
Adam: Cut it out, man. I'm driving!
Narrator: Ian tussles your hair again so you punch his shoulder.
Ian: (smiling) Ow! Shit!
Narrator: You didn't intend to punch him, but the fact is, you're getting hard from his touching you. The last time you came here, it was a low-key, chill Sunday night. Ian walks in confidently, quick to scope the scene and size up prospects. You follow, wishing you were half as assertive as him. It feels like a thousand eyes are staring at you. Your eyes drift to a three-dude table in the corner. One of them, wearing a denim jacket, catches you eyeing him and gives a sly grin. Ian comes back with a drink.
Ian: I think someone tried to grab my ass! At least he offered to buy me a drink, though. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel.
Adam: Ok, look. I think I'd like to talk to the guy in the denim jacket over there. You think you can chat him up?
Ian: Really? Jean jacket guy? Doesn't it seems like he's trying too hard? It's not the 80s. Don't you want someone in the now?
Adam: Oh fine. I'll talk to his friends in the black shirt. He's not bad, either.
Ian: Sure, if you like pornstaches. I swear, ironic facial hair should be a capital offense.
Adam: When did you get some judgemental?
Ian: Dude, I'm trying to screen the riff-raff off.
Adam: The guy with glasses then. Is he inoffensive enough for you?
Ian: No way Adam. That guy's way too unoffensive. The guy looks like he competes in 'the most boring man alive' contests.
Adam: Ian please.
Ian: Okay, wait, dude. I'm sorry.
Narrator: You can't hear the conversation, but as Ian speaks to them, you just can't make out their expressions. Their faces seem to transform from amused interest to genuine bewilderment as Ian continues talking. You expect Ian to wave you over, but he seems to be taking his sweet ass time. You really need to piss badly. You finally can't take it any more and head for the bathroom.
Penny was right, the bathrooms are swankier than you expected. You take a moment to admire the marble as you use the urinal. A sign beside it reads, 'ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING IN HERE. ESPECIALLY YOU DALE.' When you exit the bathroom, you're surprised to see a line of guys outside the bar. You see Ian in the front of the line, surrounded by a crowd.
Man: Hey! The line starts back here, buddy!
Adam: The line for what?
Man: A chance to hook up with some guy. Well, the rumor is that he's packing a monster. His friend in the blue shirt is conducting interviews to see who gets a crack at him. Eleven inches, one inch shy of the King's Foot.
Adam: SHIT.
Man: Hey, you heard me! No cutting in line. You gotta wait your turn.
Adam: Look, I am the guy, okay. You're waiting in line for me.
Narrator: His eye drop to your crotch. He squints.
Man: A grower, huh?
Adam: Thanks for making a complete cluster fuck of my night, Ian.
Ian: Cluster fuck? Dude, look around you! There are at least 20 guys who want a crack at you.
Adam: Only because you told them I have a monster cock!
Ian: It's called the magic of marketing. You want truth in advertising? Fine. How big is it, dude?
Narrator: The bar grows quiet. All eyes turn to you.
Adam: Err-You know it's perfectly adequate. It's uh-
Man: Just say the fucking number!
Adam: Well, uh, haha, it might not be eleven inches. But-
Man: Gentlemen, we've been deceived by charlatans. (The sounds of angry voices can be heard as sound effects.) You two should be filled with the deepest sense of shame and remorse.
Ian: Satisfied, dude?
Adam: Satisfied by what? This isn't winging. This is closer to sabotage.
Ian: I'm just trying to help.
There is a choice, but the other leaves to the Amos route.
Narrator: You leave the bar, wondering if your night can get any worse. Ian follows you out. The drive home is tense.
Ian: Dude?
Adam: Don't dude me.
Ian: Bro?
Adam: Don't bro me, either.
Ian: Brah? Dudebro? Bromeo?
Adam: Stop talking, Ian.
Narrator: You're still livid when you reach the apartment.
Ian: Look, I'm sorry, okay? Next time we'll go, I'll-
Adam: There IS no next time, Ian! You're not winging for me any more.
Ian: Why not?
Adam: Oh I dunno, maybe because you made me a pariah of the only gay bar in 50 miles.
Ian: You're overreacting now. I doubt any of those guys would've made it past the second round of interviews anyway.
Adam: Second round? Ian, I'm just looking for a date! I'm not trying to settle down and get married, for fuck's sake!
Ian: Do you want to end up with a creep? You know how a lot of guys are. They've got an agenda. All they want is one thing.
