going to bars/clubs alone?

[Mr Mojo Lane]

NYC back when it was still gritty, and Manhattan was more blue collar had a huge lone wolf scene. I believe most of the northeast did too.

But now it is filled with the college yuppies who never had alcohol until they went to college, and was a major rite of passage for them.

Yeah, I cannot believe how much partying has changed in Manhattan from five years ago. I used to love the place.

I know, I read the whole thing.

You can strike up a conversation with the people already there. I find it harder to do that if you go in a group already.

Its not. It's very easy to strike up conversation if you go to a bar with a group or know people there. On top of this it's easier to pick up girls at a bar if you have some competent friends who are good looking and have game. Girls don't go to bars by themselves and having friends to occupy their single friends is the best line of defense against a cockblock. Thats why the term wingman is a real thing.

If I already have a crew, I can set up shop on the sidewalk, if I want to. Beer is cheaper at the gas station. I just need some paper bags, and I can sit outside.

You and your 'crew' can also do this when going out to eat. Setup shop on the sidewalk, eat hotdogs and make fun of the idiots going to restaurants in groups overpaying on food.

For some people they need to around their friends all the time for protection. I guess if you are in a place where everyone has their crews, then you will feel vulnerable. I just dont want to but myself in those spots in the first place.
But like I said in my first post. The bar section of the bar is for the lone people. Groups should go get a table or booth.

As for the eating, the restaurant serves better food than I can make. I can get takeout, but I dont want to clean my apartment after having too many people over.

If you're going to talk about "game" then it's just as important to have the tool set to open and close a group of girls by yourself.

When I used to go to clubs with my friends, we ended up separating and doing our own thing anyway. Come with the wolf pack but you still hunt solo.

I use to do it all the time when I moved to San Diego, I chugged a 40 oz before leaving drank more coronas at the bar/club and talked/danced with girls. It was a blast and met many girls some being one night stands and others girlfriends. If you are solely going to meet women just get drunk beforehand and strike up on some conversations you never know what can happen. Just my experience and two cents.

 

[marioh]

not really the club type, so no to that.
usually only goto bars alone when i'm traveling. but i wouldn't have any issues with doing it at home if i had the urge.

 

[FyrFytr998]

I've done it only when going to see Hard Core bands none of my friends listen to.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

I've been to a couple of bars a lone when I travel for work. Its not a big deal.

I would never go to a club alone though.

 

[pinger]

In my previous job I had 23 Australian sites and 11 in Asia Pacific.

Every 2 years would visit them all. Eating room service sucks.

So yeah, have sat in a lot of bars by myself. I am a major Book Worm, so I usually just people watch and read.

I would expense the lot.

Quite easy to pick up chicks as well, when you are not trying.

Am I the only person here who has gone to clubs alone and ended up making friends with others, seems like I am. Then again when I talk about clubbing I'm talking about the times I went to a decent amount of psytrance events. Those events were wonderful experiences that I'll cherish for the rest of my life

I think its a shame most people will never experience this in their lives. I have gone to psytrance events alone and its so easy to connect with people. I can only describe a lot of these events as pure euphoria. I went to an event headlined by Simon Posford and Man With No Name alone because other people bailed on me and it became one of the best nights of my life due to the people I met there. I know drugs probably help in a lot of these situations but if you are outgoing and just talk to other people you are bound to meet like minded people and have a good time.

I agree. I've done that a shit load of times as well. You naturally separate at various times throughout the night and approach solo. I'm not one of those puas who approaches large groups of girls and does some magic shtick reading palms for everyone but I'll approach single girls in the larger groups or smaller 2/3 sets of girls. I still think nothing is as good as a very solid wingman for consistency and just fun.

Do you have a source stating this rule?

 

[herra]

I've gone to bars and clubs by alone before; however, I'm not alone for long. Girls approach me all the time.

Totally agree with this one. Go out for a good time rather than trying to pick up and you don't give off the 'stench of desperation'.

Only hotel bars when I'm traveling to hook up.

You can strike up a conversation with the people already there. I find it harder to do that if you go in a group already. If I am already in a group, I dont need to be any in particular location especially one where they expect cover fee, or over charge me for a beer. If I already have a crew, I can set up shop on the sidewalk, if I want to. Beer is cheaper at the gas station. I just need some paper bags, and I can sit outside.

My boys and I split off, bring girls back. I've picked up with, "come meet my friends." Its not very hard. I am not saying, you always pull. I am saying, you got to swing if you want to hit dingers.

Its funny because people need to be inebriated, throwing off brain chemistry or using drugs in order to feel secure in themselves to talke to a stranger.

Gents, let me take this a step further. You can do this everywhere and anywhere. You can chat up babes at starbucks/gym/club/bars/indigo/library etc. Chat up women like you already know them.

99% will end up a sloot/single mom/fat as fuck!

No fucks given. What do you have to lose?

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

Tinder is great for that. What I do now is, invite babes to meet up from tinder. Esp lower tier or girls likely to flake. Double or triple invites to the same bar. Even when excusing myself to the bathroom, I am going to go make rounds, chat up other women, and look to score. Esp on vaca and in another country, there is very low risk for any sort of fallout. Obv, don't get rapey and punched out lol

 

[Hades86]

I have before sure. I find it easier to strike up a conversation with females when I'm alone. Women tend to focus on you when your alone, maybe it makes them a little more brave sending signals when your alone idk. I do know I've got plenty of numbers some 1 night stands here or there and got a serious gf or 2 from going out alone.

 

[Graves The Elder]

I find humanity disturbingly disappointing so yes, I prefer to be alone when I drink.
If a bitch wants a drink (or more), it's up to her to prove she's worth it.
