Ah, the blacked-out one night stand — a rite of passage for any self-disrespecting gay man with a penchant for destructive behavior. It’s the kind of story that kills it in the dorm cafeteria between rounds of everlasting pizza dipped in ranch, but as you get older and the story stays the same, it starts to sound a lot less cute.
For the hopelessly stunted Danny Carter, played by Jimmy Fowlie in the web series Go-go Boy Interrupted, it’s still a struggle at age 30. Watching him try to figure out a. where he is and b. who he’s with brings back more memories than we’d care to admit, but we’re pretty sure that’s the point.

This is a very funny series. There hasn’t been an episode yet that I haven’t laughed out loud a couple of times. Much better track record on the lols than any network series.

Gracefully and one night stand. Sounds like a oxymoron

Do these things happen in real life?

The “old” way of doing this was to trade emails (or phone numbers) knowing quite well that you were not going to call and/or vice-versa. Sometimes, we’d even go out for breakfast and afterwards peck on the lips before parting ways. Seemed like better than pretending we’d not just been as intimate as physically possible for two human being to be, even if it was in a drunken stupor. …

So his schtick is that he’s a d-bag?
Well, it’s entertaining enough that I’ll find the rest and watch ’em, but please don’t tell me that the go-go boy is supposed to be a sympathetic character & not the total jerk that he seems to be here.

@petensfo: Wow! We must have a PhD or Rhodes scholar in our midst. Yes, Einstein….this is just funny for the sake of being funny. You don’t need to sympathize, empathize, connect or learn a valuable lesson from the character. He’s just doing this to make you laugh. So, lighten the eff up and you might just have a better day after a chuckle or two.

I have to agree with Coach S here; this series is incredibly funny AND yeah…it’s much better than ANYTHING written for TV these days (not to be a hater, but “Sean Saves the World”??? Are you effing SERIOUS??????). The beauty of this is is we have all either experienced (or let’s be honest…even BEEN) that shallow guy whose ego and concept of success is clouded and based on how “hot” or envious others view him as. The absolutely hilarious part of this is that the writer/star seems to have all the insight and insider info, yet miraculously retained the brain-cells necessary to turn this into a top-quality well-written AND edited production. Please…do us all a favor and keep these episodes coming. And see if you can stretch them out to 5 – 10 mins each (just make the monologues/characters’ lines/jokes longer so you don’t have to do any extra editing : )

Are you *shitting* me?
“Stupid Ho” on the iphone.
Yep. How apt. And quite fitting.

Who cares where you are, FIND YOUR CLOTHES AND PUT THEM ON.
Be friendly and keep moving toward the door. Every move you make should advance you toward the door. Get a phone number if you like, but keep moving toward the door.
Get your bearings once you’re on the street.
I spent many years thinking sex with many guys was an achievement.
Now I know that it takes a skilled lover to please one man for a long time… once I found one guy who wanted what I offer and who loves to please me.

This scenario is all too common in the gay community. The “one night stand” is so shallow. Why go through this only to feel un-easy in the morning? Some one night stands turn into something more. More often they are more curt, a one time exchange between two horny guys. Too many one nighters are all too familiar to most gay men. With all; the dangers today: STD’s, psycho’s, drugs etc, it’s just not worth it

@winemaker, @iggy6666, there is nothing wrong with one night stands. They can be done lovingly and respectfully. Some of my fondest memories are of one night stands that were deeply meaningful. But even when they aren’t, there is nothing wrong with it – not everything one does has to be deeply meaningful.
suavecito
I guess I’m really kind of astounded at how certain people here are taking what is supposed to be a HUMOROUS parody of the most shallowest aspects of gay life and making this into a serious debate. Does anyone here know how to just relax and enjoy some good comedy? And if the answer is “no”, how about “supporting our community” or pick some other tired cliche’ that makes you feel superior here. Geeze.
petensfo
@suavecito: “most shallowest”? Yes, I now feel superior, to you.
Only b/c you sound like such a dik in your comments. Y salvar el “Inglés es mi segunda idioma” tonterías.

I think its easier for a man in his twenties, as you get older, its gets more awkward, if not down right embarrassing. I agree with Chris above. A one night stand is rarely the path to a relationship or even a friendship. Being honest yet polite is the way to go. Don’t ask the guy for his telephone number unless you intend to use it. Don’t go out for breakfast-or have him make you breakfast. Do say thank you if you had a good time.
vive
@princedeligne, also, say thank you even if you didn’t have a good time. Treat him respectfully. And do exchange numbers, even if you don’t intend to see him again. It’s just awkward (and thus bad manners) not to.

@petensfo: The irony here is English is actually my THIRD language, whereas your pitiable attempt at Spanish to me was the equivalent to: “and to save the english is my twice idiom” foolishness. Which tells me you didn’t use google translate (because THAT would have come up with a closer translation of what you were attempting to say) but mistakenly and arrogantly think you speak Spanish well enough to put a native speaker in their place. I think I’ve only encountered that level of arrogance in Northern California, where brainless ultra-liberal gay men feel that because they are gay, they get the privilege of not only speaking TO, but speaking FOR any/all minorities, social causes and morality. Whether you learned your borderline incoherent Spanish working for a government job so you can say you are “bilingual” and thus eligible for a pay-raise, or because you are a bean-queen who gets off on masking your racial superiority while trying to pick up Latin guys (and finding it harder and harder to do so in your advancing age) allow me to inform you what others obviously haven’t; you speak Spanish worse than any Latin stereotype on TV speaks English, as you don’t even grasp the basics of verb conjugation. So, yes, I hit “post comment” before I decided on whether to say “most shallow of” or “shallowest”, but then again I really didn’t realize the level of catty, petty and overall bitchy commenters I’d be dealing with. But now that you’ve set the bar, I’ll be sure to proofread before I hit the magic button. And you have yourself a wonderful day (although, I really sense that in your case those are few and far between).

Who has one night stands? A whole night with someone, that’s practically a myth. Maybe something we read about in stories like this or on Sex and the City. Let’s not kid ourselves. It’s fuck and go – who wants that ho in your bed all night and vice versa.

@suavecito: Lighten up for god’s sake. I mean seriously, what a rant over nothing.
