Maybe you should look for women somewhere else.

Bars are the WORST place to meet women.

Try to involve yourself in charities, a language course, sports, voluntary work, big brother stuff, do some mentoring for children or coaching, if you are a christian go to church and involve yourself on something...THEN you will find quality women.

Women usually go to bars to vent over boyfriends, exes, most of the time they aren't in the mood to really meet somebody new. Specially if they are in a pack.

Sure, you can be a "love kamikaze" and try to pick one up at a bar, and maybe you will get lucky...but isn't my style. I prefer to do the "hunt" more straightforward: one on one.

Well...tell the lady to not get that "drunk" in the first place. I'm no puritan but a drunk woman is not that charming...specially if she is on her late thirties. Leave the booze thing for the college years. I don't mind a woman drinking alcohol, but I'm sure women hate a drunk as well.

Usually women blame us men for taking advantage of a drunk woman but I like women with a little bit of "self control".

Women don't get taken advantage of when they're too drunk. They just make poor decisions when they're drunk and regret it. That's not rape, it's simply poor decision making. Just like a guy is stupid if he even gets involved with a dumb woman like that.

The line is drawn when the woman is so drunk that she can't function or is passed out.. then the guy deserves jail time.

Interesting idea...You think I'm supposed to police women I don't know at bars to tell them not to get that drunk, before they start drinking. Why...exactly would I do that when I'm there to hang out with my own friends? Also, I don't think I've ever purchased a drink and thought, "I'm going to be SOOO charming tonight if I get hammered".

And in these cases, it was obvious the woman, drunk or not, was in distress when she was pulling away and saying, "no, I don't want to go with you"...but hey, I guess we can't blame men for dragging them to the door since it was their own fault for getting drunk or getting roofied.
^^^that was sarcasm, FYI.

I get personal responsibility and I agree with the concept, which is why we have a group we go with and always have one designated non-drinker. I wouldn't blame a guy that met a somewhat intoxicated female, while he, himself was also intoxicated and they both decided to leave together. That was not what was described in the situation I mentioned. Take it as you wish.

Well there's your problem right there. Never talk to a random girl for an hour at a bar. Have a bunch of quick conversations, work the room. After you do that you'll know which girls are most into you and then you take your pick.

Bars are terrible for meeting women. I dated a lot when I was young but never met anyone in a bar, and I spent a fair amount of time in bars in my youth. School was the best for me. You'd have more luck taking some kind of class that was popular with women.

You've heard wrong. Very, very, wrong.

Single girls, by themselves, are prey in bars....
This begs a different question: why is the intention to "hook up" or any other form of temporary intimate engagement? My apologies for being naive, but what if the man's intention is to.... look for a wife? Why necessarily should the meeting in a bar end withe the couple going to somebody's house? Instead, the objective may simply be to exchange an e-mail address, and then to spend 2 weeks writing to each other.

If it were understood that a bar is merely a place to make mutual introductions, bars wouldn't have their louche and nefarious reputation. Problem solved - for both men, and women.
