Can straight people go to gay bars?

I don't look at guys like that though. Whether he gets chicks or not is of zero interest to me.

The things that make guys stand out to me is if they have a gun anywhere, a weapon in hand, body armor, eyes or movements that foretell malice, or other signs of being a threat. If they're not a threat, I move on to looking at the next potential threat. I do notice builds, whether a guy is athletic, whether he's more likely to be friend or foe (eg political affiliation). Welcome to the mind of the combat zone PTSD dude.

Mildly attractive women do short-circuit "threat detection mode" though. I find myself often looking at attractive women just to turn off PTSD brain in crowded public places. It's an extremely different physical response to visual stimuli.
