I've never been to a bar looking for new friends or women. People are usually rowdier in bars...you don't really get a taste of their typical personality there. Not exactly the best place to meet friends, unless you're looking for idiots to be stupid with while you're drinking. Everyone can get buddy buddy at a bar, but it doesn't go much further than that realm.

I beg to differ.

Especially in a town like this - where you're bound to run into people around town - a bar is a good place to lay the foundations for a relationship/friendship etc.

I'm not talking about trying to 'hit' on a sloppy drunk person. Of course you're not going to gain any insight on the type of person they are if they can barely speak or stand.

They don't call alcohol 'liquid courage' for nothing. Sometimes that's all it takes for someone to come out of their shell and loosen up a bit.

I've met some of my closest friends around here by meeting them at a bar.

Here's my take on the whole bar situation.

I'm sure just about every single one of you have been to a bar. I also bet some of you think that you're pretty decent human beings.

I look at it like this:

If I think that I'm a decent human being then there is a possibility that other decent human beings exist. If they exist - some of these people are probably like you and me and go to bars as well. If this is true then there is a distinct possibility that you will meet some of these decent human beings at a bar.

It goes without saying that there are a lot of a$$holes sprinkled among these decent human beings.

I can say in all honesty that I've never - ever - had a one night stand.

Not all people go to a bar to hook up.

Going to a bar is a perfect place to meet new friends. It's a relaxed atmosphere and extremely easy to get your 'game' on.

I do go to bars and I do meet nice people but I have never been to a bar looking for a date or a potential boyfriend. Not to say that it couldn't happen but I wouldn't expect it.

Trust me I know the difference, that's why it was picked up on. I usually spell correctly, but was distracted when typing. But now with Kwillia's definition I think they should become new forum words. :lol:

It's that stigma about bars that most people have.

People seem to think that only horrible people go to bars.

People seem to think that if you meet someone at a bar that it's some dirty thing.

It's all about your perspective.

Kinda like that glass half empty/full deal.

People that go out to bars to meet people are the same people on dating sites and in forums.

You never know where you'll meet someone, just stay open to all possibilities.

I'm not saying that only bad people go to bars. I go to bars all the time. You guys have probably seen me if you go to the bars around here. All I am saying is that I would not specifically go to a bar looking for a date.

I frequent bars all the time but just to hang out with friends and have a good time.

Never used a dating site.

I guess I'm being hypocritical when I say that only desperate people use dating sites, but it's just a personal thing.

I will admit, however, that when I first joined this site I was bored - looking to get out of a rut - so joined to meet new people. But, before I knew it - there were women all over the place.

I agree to keep an open mind. You never know when it's going to happen.

Agreed.

I bet I know many of you on this site.

The group I used to hangout with was a pretty popular one.

We were pretty rowdy at times too.

Heh.
