Queer McGill Dance

Why do I go to dances, when I just come home depressed...?

Spent the evening chatting with a nice, beautiful, intelligent guy without the slightest interest in me. Which is pretty much par for the course :/

Thanks.

But I'm getting to the point where I've heard that intelligence is sexy one too many times from guys who only date gorgeous, stupid men. Lip service is paid to intelligence over and over again, but it really does seem to be all about bodies :/

I also find that grad students get none of the perks that ought to be associated with being surrounded by intelligent lovely people. We're so snowed under with obligations that we're almost giving off don't-touch-me vibes.

Very true. I think we all do it, but I know I'm also not well-liked in the program.

I also find that the stereotype of all-men-in-English-literature-are-gay is an absolute lie. I seem to be the only gay guy in the program right now, so there's no romantic possibilities there at all.
