Therapy- Nominated GayLife’s Club of the Year (2009)
Therapy, a popular gay lounge located in New York on 52nd street, between 8th & 9th avenue, is one like you have never seen before in your life. First of all the decor is extremely contemporary and beautiful. It sets the perfect atmosphere for the ideal gay lounge; relaxing and simple yet attractive. Considering that Therapy is located in a building that was once a carriage house, a warehouse, and (of course) a whorehouse, it’s amazing to think of the work it took to transform it into its current state, making it an enjoyable place for gay individuals to visit. While Therapy is a large lounge with more than one level, there is an important intimacy to it that sets it apart from other places. Therapy features a full food menu full of sandwiches, burgers, salads, and other delicious dishes. Of course Therapy also has a cocktail menu with many delectable drinks such as the Freudian SIP (Ketel One Citroen, fresh ginger, lemonade) and the Anorexic (Bacardi Silver, sugar free Redbull, Splenda rim). Happy hour is from 5pm – 8pm and offers 2 for 1 domestic tap and $2 off all other drinks. In addition to happy hour, a different vodka special or beer price is featured every late night.
There is exciting entertainment every night at Therapy, in addition to an excellent DJ every Saturday night, including DJ T-Boy and Kevin Graves in the line up. “Pyschobabble” will be made available to the public again next summer for those who are interested. In the mean time, the Show Broadway Sessions, will be hosted by Ben Cameron and feature a different broadway guest each Tuesday night at 11pm. There is absolutely no cover charge for this show, making it even more enticing. Appealing to the interests of the gay individuals who visit Therapy, there will be drag performances by Peppermint and Britney Houston for your entertainment. With the goal of injecting relaxation into everything at the lounge, Therapy allows you and your friends, of any orientation to enjoy a great opportunity to get away from the often-stressful New York City life, and enjoy a bit of Therapy of your own.
Gay Dating: How to find True Love?
You might find that it is difficult being gay and finding love. Here are a few pointers to help you succeed in the gay dating scene. First of all, it is most important to market yourself; you have to consider the image you project. This is a rule not just in gay dating but in all dating, you will attract the type of person who is attracted to the signs you are sending out. If you feel you are stuck in a rut in the gay dating scene and meeting the same type of guys or all the wrong guys perhaps you change your attitude. If you don’t usually smile at people, try giving them a quick grin of if you find yourself too uptight and stuffy, loosen up a bit. If you find yourself failing in the gay dating scene and frustrated because you are unable to find Mr. Right perhaps it is because you are unsure as to what you want. Make a list of qualities that you want in a man, and not just tall, dark, and handsome; think about the personality traits you are looking for in your ideal partner. This will definitely make gay dating a great deal easier if you know what you want; you don’t have to waste time with other men figuring out if they are right for you. Now that you have figured out what you want from a man, you have to go to the right places to find him. An important part aspect to success in gay dating is go where they go. If you are looking for a certain type of guy, you need to go to them. If you want a guy who is intellectual and loves to read, join a local book club or reading group. You are much more likely to find success in the gay dating scene if you know what you want and are able to go get it.
Looking for Love Online
Now, you may have busy lifestyle and the gay dating scene just may not be your friend. There are a plethora of online gay dating sites that will help you find the man of your dreams. Perhaps you don’t really have time to 
join a book club or aren’t really the bar/club type online gay dating sites could definitely help you get your love life back on track. However, online gay dating sites may not always be legitimate and you need to know for certain that you are on a safe website talking to real people and it’s not just a scam. Don’t be discouraged there are as many legitimate online gay dating sites as there are shady ones. Many online gay dating sites offer free registration, photo, and profile posting. When it comes to responding or writing to somebody you are interested in, many online gay dating sites do charge a fee but they are usually nominal and will not break the bank. If you live in a city, where people are constantly on the go it may be difficult to meet people therefore online gay dating sites could truly benefit you. There is some stigma surround online gay dating sites, about the nature of the people on it and the type of relationships they are looking for. However, that is no longer the case now and the old thought that those who used online gay dating sites were desperate is also no longer the case. It is just an alternative to meeting somebody at the bar or else where. I mentioned it above, safety is definitely a huge issue in online gay dating sites however it is an issue everywhere. Safety is a concern when you are at a bar or walking back home, gay online dating sites at least allow you to screen who you meet so if you find somebody to be shady you don’t have to talk to them or meet them.
If you are having trouble in the gay dating scene follow some of the pointers above, be open, and you are sure to have some success.
