FYI, I was one of those guys who recommended he seek out the PUA sites but I honestly regret doing it because he seems to be more interested in arguing with people than actually meeting women.

Bars are what they are...its like a baseball field or a football field..its only to be used to play games and nothing serious...with that being said..i love the bars, if you know that at end of the night you wont find anything serious or in my case i am not looking for anything serious (im 23), the bars are great place to met chicks and have a good time...

To a certain extent (full disclosure: I've said that before. I'm terrible at meeting people in bars...well, I really don't try much).

I think the real reason the bar scene doesn't work for most people - or at least most people who are looking for a relationship - is not that most girls in bars are floozies, or bimbos, or phonies, or skanks. That's just not true. It's more the random nature of bars. Bars are a sort-of forced interaction. There's really nothing - not a common interest, not a friend, nothing - that brings people in bars together aside from the fact that they drink. Seeing as most people drink, this is not much of a sorting mechanism, really.

People are more likely to get on well with people they meet in activity clubs, or at work, or in school, or through friends, because those groups are more self-selected according to values. Two people who share a common interest, or do the same job, or have the same friends, are far more likely to be similar than two people who just happen to be in a given bar on a Saturday night. That's why the bar scene rarely works.

doesn't people realize that bars aren't meant for creating relationships?!

They're for flings and hook ups. Nothing else.

Nightclubs also are for dancing and making new buddies.

I was gonna say something too, but then I saw the number of controversial posts in here and decided that nobody would read mine anyway. Ha! But here I go again, anyway.

Cy, you will probably find low quality people no matter where you go.

to be real, most women in the club scene are only concerned with social status. your degree of wealth, fame and power, realistically that's all it boils down too.

I don't know that I would ever aspire to be an expert on how to find love or meet people in a bar.

Default The first girl is the hardest

You just need to get that first girl and make sure she has lots of older brothers. When you want to move on, go to the family picnic and tell them the bad news and let them know you were only using her for sex. Count the days you are in the hospital. That is around the number of times you need to be asking girls out to find the next one. This is your guide.

OK I was a little unusual because I did go celibate in my 20s but I did still go to dance clubs for awhile. There were some nights not one girl would dance with me. I counted 10 once. It was a good way to work the fear out of your system and just start meeting people. That's all they ever did for me. There were some confused girls though who sometime thought me wanting to dance with them meant I wanted to have sex. I certainly did in some ways but I had my reasons of faith.

When I did drink & do the bar scene...some nights were to get drunk, some to get drunk & pick me up someone to fulfill my loneliness....Then I sobered up & realized how much I can't stand bars.
