Neanderthal - this might come as a surprise to you .. sit down.

This universe does NOT spin around penises.

yeah that's right, I said it. WE have what YOU want. Wars are fought over it, songs are written about it - ADAM GOT CAST OUT OF PARADISE FOR IT ..

ANYTHING men can do, we can do right the first time

and anything I can't do myself, I can hire done.

The difference is - I don't let my genitals do my thinking

what else u got?

MY QUESTION IS: what would you think -- both men and women -- when you see an "obviously" single older women in a pub? I make a lot of assumptions about their/your thoughts.

Do both the men and women think older/single women are there just to get picked up? Do they immediately think "Cougar"?

And, where does one sit when they're a single woman -- especially if there's no bar stools open? Please refrain from the obvious "on my lap baby"... LOL.

One thing to do when you're at a pub alone is to sit at a table off by yourself, not at the bar. Then nobody will think you are there to get hit on. But obviously this is not a solution if you actually want to yack with the bartender while drinking.

The only way to correct stereotypical thinking, is not to avoid the situation. I'd rather sit at the bar, talk to the server, and correct any guy that thinks I am there to be hit on by addressing that in conversation.
