Well, that's me convinced, I'll just throw away the rest of my beer here.


Or maybe some people just like having a drink every now and then? Drinking in moderation really isn't that harmful. If people don't want to drink, then that's just fine, but there's no need to go telling other people that no good can come from drinking, because it's just not true. Sometimes, there's just nothing better than winding down with a few quiet drinks.

I'm not going to argue or debate with you...carry on.

The misandry in this thread, supported by nothing more than anecdotal exaggerations, is pretty disappointing.

Yes, some men don't take 'no' for an answer, and that is absolutely not permissible, and yes, most men will try to "pick you up", but is trying to "pick someone up" that bad? What's wrong with trying to get to know someone because she's on her own and you're on your own? As if a man trying to get to know you is invariably a predatory lecher who just wants to [censored] you in an alley. Most guys will try to pick you up, yes, but most of those guys are decent blokes who see a girl on her own and are interested, and wonder if she is too. I see some of you acting as if a guy has to smell whether or not you're available, and that he somehow insults you by trying to get to know you, the cur! Well here's some advice, if you don't want to interact with people, drink in your room.

Instead of crying about how men are pigs, why not wonder if maybe you haven't been encountering the worst our gender has to offer, wonder why it is so, and wonder how you can change it?

She wants to get drunk.

I get what she's saying.
It is nice to go out and meet new people. It is pleasant to unwind after work with a brew. It is not nice to be accused of being antisocial because asshats, douchebags, and sleezebuckets don't comprehend " I want to be left alone" .
I want to be left alone doesn't mean I want to be devoid of human contact, it means I want the idiots who can't quite grasp the fact that I do not find pleasure in THEIR company appealing. I might find pleasure in someone elses, if the sleezebuckets, douchebags, and asshats would get it through their thick skulls to LEAVE ME ALONE because I don't find them attractive.
I found it helpful to tip the barkeep well, and let him know when people were annoying me and going way to far.

Absolutely not, I would never get drunk in a bar alone. I don't get drunk *period*. You've got to be kidding.

*Never* did I say men are pigs. Ever. Most aren't, I'm well aware of that.

And honestly, I've said time and time again that I have no problem with friendly conversation. They are welcome to approach me and have a chat. What they cannot do is assume that I'm a sure thing because I'm in a bar alone. Or expect anything because I'm in a bar alone.

Absolutely not, I would never get drunk in a bar alone. I don't get drunk *period*. You've got to be kidding.

This, exactly! Thank you.

Then why are you going to (those kind of) bars?

There is quite a lot to be said about using common sense. I won't go to a club or a meat-market bar and I certainly won't go on a Saturday night.

The only one I would consider alone is a quiet neighborhood bar, which would provide the least chance of being "picked up".

if you want to complain about guys so much then can't you just do it

I think the original point of this thread has come and gone. A lot of you guys are missing the point, as well as putting ridiculous words in my mouth.

For those of you who gave your honest opinion, I sincerely appreciate it, as that is what I was looking for.
