Ah hello, the bar is not the only place to meet men. So you're telling me that the women who pay don't know ANY men in their lives that they could sleep with? They must live really pathetic lives.

Bravo! This should be a "sticky" at the top of the board. No wonder so many men complain they can't find the type of woman they're looking for. These guys holed themselves up in a bar, while the herd of women stampeded past and went to the concerts, lectures and art galleries in town.

Try to get comfortable with the fact that not everyone else's reality reflects yours. Few people socialize with coworkers after work. 2013 isn't The Mary Tyler Moor Show, which died decades ago. People head home after work. If they go out, they go out with friends after they've left work. Most people's coworkers aren't all that fun and fascinating that I'd like to enmesh my private life with my work life. Most people have social lives of their own that don't involve the work crowd. And you'd also be surprised how many people don't drink at all, and so have no use for bars.

I don't know...but if I had to guess I would guess that more women go to bars than lectures and art galleries.

And going to a stranger’s house was just as dangerous. Looking on a escort listings website, I was amazed at all the different ads.


Eventually, I chose Steve, who was in his late twenties...

Yea. This just is not the case. There are actually many people who are social creatures that do not go to bars. Not every one drinks.

Have you ever been to the galleries during your town's "art night", when all the galleries open their new shows on the same night? It can be very crowded, and there can be major babe-age there. The majority of women are going to events on any given night, visiting friends for dinner, or just staying home. This is why shopping for women in bars doesn't work for a fair number of people.

Why does that have to do with you paying for sex?

You and I don't agree a lot of the time, so when we do it must mean something (I left out the "pathetic" bit on purpose). Unless a woman is extremely unattractive or repulsive in some way, I believe she will have at least one man in her life whom she could approach for sex. Not only that, he will be at least average looking and he won't rape or kill her. He might not say yes, but they won't all say no. Picking up strangers is a crap shoot and potentially dangerous, and so the suggestion to go grab somebody from a bar doesn't fly with a lot of women. That's why they go for the UPS guy, he's familiar.

Yes.

It does matter, to some extent. When people go to bars, they have meeting, mingling, and often, sex on their minds. At the library of the bookstore, much less so. It's much harder to pick someone up for a ONS at the grocery store. Even getting a convo, much less a number, is a bit of a challenge to men and women.
