I just recently read a piece in which it was noted that the hooters waitresses are great allies to closeted gay boys that get taken to hooters by parents or family to encourage ‘normal’ heterosexual behavior.
I want expecting that but it was a pretty great aspect of a phenomenon that always seemed very one dimensional and flat to me.
What explains the connection between Hooters waitresses and young gay men? Perhaps these women — so often stigmatized as almost sex workers, so accustomed to society’s sidelong glances — see kindred spirits in the boys who aren’t quite “right.” Or maybe it’s simpler: a waitress’s knack for reading a room, turned tender for those who need it most.
Hooters is for any situation where you’re specifically not going to a strip club. Son ain’t showing enough interest in girls? Hooters. Daughter’s showing too much, but you don’t know how to tell her you support her? Hooters. Night out with your friends, but you don’t want your partner to be mad you went to a strip club? Hooters. Feel like a family dinner that makes the kids feel awkward as fuck? Hooters.
Yeah it’s weird to me too. Like, I can see how for a certain type of person who can’t really easily talk about emotions or other private topics, this can be an attempt to bring their child into adulthood and the world of expressing interest in women. But also, fuck it’s a weird way to do it. Just sit the kid down or go for a walk or drive and give them a dating talk.

Totally agree those women are not flat
