The large majority of women I see at the bars are with a group or are with their boyfriend (or waiting for him to arrive). Maybe I'm going to the wrong type of bars?

That settles it!

I'm starting a pub where single women have to sit at a pedestal pub style table, by themselves. If they don't want to sit, they either have be holding a sign, or wearing certain coloured clothing denoting their status.

And no standing in groups of more than three!

I never go to bars. From what I've heard, the women who are there act mean and act like they don't want to be talked too. Also, they tend to be skanks.

Just because they are in a group doesn't mean they aren't single.

How do you know all the women in the group are married or attached? How do you know that guy is the boyfriend?

Are you actually talking to these women or just assuming?

I suppose in your perfect world, women would go into bars alone and sit by themselves. In that case you might try upscale hotels that cater to businessmen. But make sure you have some cash on you.

When I was in college, there was a party theme called "Red Light, Green Light" where partygoers would wear either red (taken), yellow ("it's complicated") or green (single). It certainly makes things way more efficient. It's a complete waste of time if I talk to a woman for 1 hour at the bar, only to later hear her slip in a reference about her boyfriend.

Why would I need cash on me?

I'm not a single man and I don't really like bars regardless... but my brother has absolutely 0 issue meeting babes at the bars. He's got a different story every week.

Maybe you should change where you go

Well, go raid some college parties then. It doesn't work like that in the real world.

Unless I start my pub, of course.


If you're not willing to put in the time to get to know someone, regardless of the outcome, you have no right to complain. Not every single woman at the bar is looking to get picked up, either. So you should consider that, as well. The "my boyfriend" slip-in could be an easy way of keeping you and your hormones in check, and save everyone the trouble/hurt of a direct rejection.

=c) You don't go to bars...how can you be an authority on their skank-level?

I have a girl's night-out about once a month and the group ranges from 4-10 women and at some point during the night, we'll probably hit a bar (or 5). I've never witnessed any of us being mean to anyone, even when a guy believes he should join us (which isn't exactly what we're looking for), we're courteous. We are, specifically, there to hang out with each other.

Only one girl in our group is not opposed to hooking up with a guy she doesn't know, but she does have criteria for a booty-call. Interestingly to me, she doesn't have that same physical criteria for a relationship...she lowers her physical standards a good deal for a guy that can satisfy her humor and mental ideals.

Single girls, by themselves, are prey in bars. They run the risk of getting roofied or if they've had too much to drink, of having some guy happily trying to pull her to the door so she can be "safe" at his house. Often times, people intervene here...I know we have. I mentioned this once before on another forum and was actually shocked at how offended many of the men were by our interference. They believed it was hard enough to get a "date" without having people jump in and protect the drunk or drugged women from a guy who was going to "get lucky". Their response alone would have deterred women from going to the bar alone.
