In fact, I've brought books to the bar with me so I can sit and read or work puzzles while I'm sitting there.
Download FRUIT SALAD for your phone. It is addictive. ASU was getting it's tail beaten so badly...that I ran my battery out playing it.

The only women, I care what they are doing, are the bartenders. Keep the glass filled.

Yeah but Trimac has a point. If you were the only person around and spent your life sitting on a beach eating coconuts, then would it matter if you felt pretty or confident? Would there even be a barometer of either trait since there would be no comparisons?

But hey, we don't live alone on beaches so I'm all about looking good and feeling good. And I completely feel more confident when I feel like I look good. It's just how it works.

There's nothing wrong with that, but if you equate how you feel with how you look too much it can become unhealthy. Nothing wrong in small doses (hell you should have at least a bit of it) but alot of women are so caught up in how that looks they forget other things.

They don’t have to necessarily be “on the prowl” to enjoy a fun night out with girlfriends. If they happen to meet a cute man, great. The night can be even more fun! If they don’t, that’s just fine too.

He refused to accept this and is convinced all single women go out on the town all dressed up for one reason and one reason only – to pick up men.

I am interested to see what the people of CD make of this?
I wouldn't say they're out to pick up men all the time, but male attention is certainly the reason for going through the hassle of getting dolled up and going out. That male attention is the only factor that's different from going to someone's house and dancing in their PJs in their living room to music they choose and having cheap drinks you don't have to wait in line for.

But I do get your point. He sounds rather self-absorbed.

Actually yeah i would because I enjoy looking good. In fact I do things that my mates don't like all the time because I enjoy them. Notice a recurring theme in this thread?

Depends on what the woman is looking for. She might be looking for sex. She might be looking to outdo her girlfriends. She might be going out to the club her ex boyfriend likes, to make him jealous . Plenty of reasons. A woman doen't doll up only to please a man or to get male attention. She might just want to feel sexy.

I'm not saying women don't go out just to have a night out with the girls, but it depends on if the woman/girls are single or married.
I'm so disappointed.

Well a large part of 'feeling good' and 'feeling sexy' is because you know how many guys you're turning on and how many girls you're making jealous.
