Posted: 4/20/2009 2:08:08 PM | I'm usually uncomfortable walking into bars, alone or with others. But I don't think you should judge a woman as a slut/lush just because she's in a bar alone. Geez!
I like cold beer! Sometimes I stop and have lunch and a beer or happy hour. Maybe I'll meet a nice person and have a chat. Maybe I'll even make a friend and catch a date. Usually, I just have a beer or two and go home and pat myself on the back cause I "went out" one night that week. Sure don't find many folks standing at my gate with cold beer wanting to chat... Although, in my neighborhood, we do tend to share beer over the fence often enough so I can drink and socialize without having to drive anywhere and the beer's cheaper. | |

I do this all the time ... as a matter of fact, I even am planning to go to a HUGE DANCE by myself at Stardust Event Center in Sarasota on May 16th - because I LOVE to dance ... and from what I hear, this night is going to benefit our military too. MILITARY GUYS THERE? A real plus! | |

Posted: 4/21/2009 7:36:22 PM | This is funny, because I just recently went to a bar by myself for no other reason than the fact that I wanted to see the band that was playing bad enough. I had only "sort of" asked one or two people if they wanted to go somewhat last minute & nobody else was going, so I went by myself.
I was NOT looking for a "hook-up", in fact, I could have because a girl that was clearly hammered was hitting on me, hanging on me, etc., but I was not looking for that & had to work the next morning, so............yeah it was fun...people watched.....both bands were very good..........overall......good time. | |

No matter what bar you go to you will always engage is some kind of conversation and hey if you go by yourself and someone thinks your hot, you might get a free drink. Whats wrong with that. I call that the bonus of going out by myself and what ever happened to meeting people outside of online dating???
Just go do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or ask me... I will go with you.. Love going out!!!!

Posted: 4/25/2009 6:03:00 AM | I have gone to bars and clubs alone for a while now. I started by only going with someone else (other lady friends), but when they were not available or didn't want to go, I ended up sitting at home wishing I was out and about. I finally decided 'why wait for someone else?', and started going out on my own. It is sooo liberating. I love to dance. Without someone else with me, I'm free to dance with whoever I choose, wander around and chat, or leave when I feel like it.
My sister-in-law is now jealous of me because I am so bold. She is single, but would not even dare to go out on her own, afraid of all the possible dangers out there. Go figure!  | |

I am not the kind of woman who must have another one to go pee, shop, see a movie or go out dancing. Am I going as a cougar? No, not interested in young guys. I'm going to drink, hear the band, dance with hot guys and people-watch. Nothing wrong with that.
sherbearr33--you are so right.....it IS liberating. I like the fact that what I do or where I go is not dictated by my friends' schedules.
There's a difference in going to a bar looking for a hook up and going because you aren't ready for the rocking chair just yet. | |

Otherwise, it's not that she's by herself that matters, it's how she carries herself. No different than if she were part of a group. | |

Except, how would one know that (she's there everyday), unless they are, too? :)
Unfortunately, you don't find out they're alcoholics until you've already invested risk, emotion, time into a relationship. Been with those several times.
If you're just there to unwind, get out of the house, shoot some pool, etc. and it's once weekly or less, I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't do bars - so you'd never see me or many others there. No slobbering drunks to contend with. I'd probably never go to a PoF event here, since they ALL seem to involve going to some bar or nightclub. Actually, so do most singles group events like Meetup. What exciting fun...NOT! It' s not fun watching the worst and weakest in the group getting progressively drunker and more stupid. | |

Posted: 9/3/2009 7:07:02 PM | | I sometimes go to bars alone. Sometimes I am single and looking, or at least would be open to meeting people, but even if I was that's not the reason I'm there, the reason I would go to a bar alone is just because I have no one to go out with that night. Simple. If I want to go out and enjoy myself, I will, if I'm alone or not. | |
