The Single Life

Gay club hunks open up on bad pickup lines, good romance and modern datingno-nos

What's the single life in Houston really like? How would you approach the cute guy that just walked in the door? Do you have a favorite killer pick up line, or are all pick up lines potential date killers?

These questions were on our minds when we visited F Bar Houston, one of the city's best-known gay clubs, to ask eligible men their take on the dating circuit. (Watch the surprising responses in the video above.)

CultureMap will be releasing more exclusive videos on the singles scene as we gear up for our first-ever Most Eligible Bachelors and Bachelorettes party on Dec. 21 at Mr. Peeples in Midtown.

Mix and mingle with Houston's hottest singles in a light-hearted evening of fun. And perhaps, romance. And definitely, some bad pick up lines.
