Jose, this is a reminder for you to share the story of the Drunk Ass Gay Boy Giving Advice and Commentary to the Drunk Ass Straight Boy Last Night On the Subway. 
Thank you, DR George!
It was just one of those instances where once I caught a whiff of their conversation, I just had to keep "whiffing" so to speak.
When I reached the lower platform of the Metro Center station, I noticed quite an unlikely pair coming down the escalators. They were obviously a little inebriated, but they were also doing their best to seem non-inebriated - especially since one could be NOT allowed on the Metro if one is inebriated. In any case...
One of the "boys" was dressed in one of those ever so fashionable t-shirts - the one with some vintage looking logo on it - and a pair of fashionably distressed jeans. He also had a shaved head, and a bunch of prominent tatoos on his forearms which were "preceeded" by a pair of prominent biceps.
The other "boy" was dressed a little more "formally" - white, long-sleeve shirt, khaki pants, loafers. His long hair was in a pony-tail, and he was not so "physically blessed" as his companion.
So, the first thing I hear is...
"See, you're not so musclebound, but you really know which clothes to wear to show off your physique quite favorably."
"Oh, thank you. So, you think gay guys would find me attractive."
"Oh, most definitely. And you're also have a good personality too."
**Keep in mind, that both of these "gentleman" were most likely just past the legal drinking age. Or they had good fake IDs.
"Well, thanks for your honesty. I've never really met a gay person before, and I always thought I would feel weird or threatened by them, but I'm not feeling that way about you."
"Well, I like you too. You do seem like you could be a tough guy, but you're rather pretty normal and easygoing."
-Then the Orange Line Train came into the station. We all got on. They grabbed a set of seats at the end of the car. I grabbed a seat a few seats down from them. Just enough to be in earshot.
"So, did you read that story that just came out about gay men, straight men and pheremones?"
"Oh, no. Was it about sex?"
"Yes, and how gay men react differently to sweat. How it's similar to how women react to a man's sweat. To his scent...."
He goes on to "quote" various facts and figures from the article. I guess.
Then a woman boards the train at the next statio, and takes the seat behind them.
"OH, Hi! Nice to see a smiling face board the train."
"Thank you. I just finally was able to leave work, and I'm heading to see my sister."
"Cool. My name is... " (I couldn't make out his name.)
"Nice to meet you too. I'm...." (I couldn't make out here name either.
Well, this is where the muscle-bound, Drunk Ass Straight Boy turns around to talk to the woman, so I lost of a lot of the conversation. However, I could see the very amazed and humorous look in the lady's eyes as she was talking with them.
"Hey, well, you should hang out with us. We're going to.."
"Oh, that would be very nice."
"Yeah, we're heading to...
If you like we can call you later."
"Oh, that would be nice, but right now I'm on my sister's cell phone, and I'm only using it when I need to. I don't want to run up her phone."
"Well, we can call you then? Do you have a pen and paper?"
"No....Well, tell you what... Let me put your number in my sister's cell phone now, and then I can call you once I get home."
"OK. That would be very cool."
When we arrived at East Falls Church, the lady deboarded.
When we got to Dunn Loring, I deboarded, as did the two Boys.
"Oh, we should have got off at West Falls Church - the stop before."
"Oh.. There's no sign saying a train is coming..."
We all head up to the upper platform. I place my pass in the turnstile, and start to leave.
"Excuse me, sir. Did we miss the last train back to West Falls Church."
"Yes, the last train left 15 minutes ago."
-It's was just past midnight at this time.
"Oh... well, I guess we can take a taxi... Is there a bus?..."
At this point, I just continued walking and let them deal with the Metro officer. But, I have to say I was very tempted to offer them a ride back to West Falls Church. A truly fascinating social observation and entertainment wrapped into one!
