Is It Creepy To Go To A Bar By Yourself?

[Brother_Hood]

Hey I have a question,

Most of my friends don't go out much, and those that do don't tend to like to go to 'goth' type bars. So this always leaves me scrambling to get a group together to go out on the rare weekend I have off.

So here is the question:

Is it ok to for a guy go to the bar alone?

I know there is always the memorable or exception case where one person (stalker-type) is hovering around. What I'm asking here is if you see someone alone, does that instantly equivicate to 'creep'.

Just wondering....

[Scary Guy]

Not always, but I am usually that guy (I have no friends) so I know where that guy is coming from. But fuck what other people think, go and have fun. If you see some people you know (or get to know other random people) even better.

Easiest way is go somewhere with a pool table and challenge people to pool.

If you're referring to CC, go!!! there's always a lot of people from DGN that are there. It's like an instant group of people that you may have not gone with, but they will welcome you as soon as you arrive especially if you introduce yourself. I call CC the Cheers of the goth scene. *hums theme song in head*

I think someone had mentioned before that you should put a picture of yourself as your avitar, and maybe someone will recognize you if you're too shy to introduce yourself to the crowd.

As for other bars, I have a huge group of friends, I tend to go to those events by myself. but for just any random bar, I don't do those at all by myself. I don't know if it's creepy for a guy to be out by himself at a random bar, but I always thought that guys who go to places by themselves, are on the prowl... you know for a quick hook-up. *shrug*

No creepier then going with me...

I usually go to bars by myself. It's just fine. >_> At least in my opinion.

i have weird friends... some underage. some dont drink. some only drink at home. this leaves only a small amount that actually wanna go to the bar, so i tend to go alone. i only go to a couple, i know people there from going before, but even if no one i know is there its nice to sit and drink somewhere other than home. but im also one who goes out to eat alone, has gone to the movies alone, i almost always shop alone....

[Jadis]

I don't think it's creepy to go to a bar by yourself. That's how you get to know people. Hang out at the bar. People watch. Talk to the bartender a bit. They can usually steer you in the direction of people you might get along with.

[creatureofthenyte]

I too do not think its creepy.

My friends live far away from me, so I hardly see them.

I can't believe I just said that.

But yeah, its better then sittin home.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Sometimes it's your only option...

I know just enough sports to break the ice with the other loosers... errrr loners at the bar...

If all else fails... drink alot, really fast... then you wont care.

[Falstaff]

I go alone more often than with a group. I'm not sure why that it, but I have just as much fun...just not as much conversation.

Hm.

[LuluVox]

I don't think so. But then again, just earlier this week I was treated like a freak of nature for thinking it okay to drive to a show in Detroit by myself, with the intention of meeting a friend there (who was the one who thought that was just the weeeirdest thing she'd ever heard of), so I'm probably not the one to ask.

I fell asleep yesterday at 4:30pm until about 7:30 this morning. xD

Sorry about last night.

Wanna go to CC tonight?

[saechalyn]

I go out alone a lot, and it's fine, especially in a big place like city club. I guess it'd be boring/awkward to go to a small bar alone where all there is to do is sit there, but city club comes with built in entertainment. Top-notch people watching if nothing else.

[TygerLili]

If you're going there to meet people and/or be social, no.

If you're going to sit in the corner alone, drink and gawk at people, yes.

My two cents...

[DJ Nocker]

Im not a very social creature, in fact im quite the opposite, so I like to go alot of places alone, concerts, clubs, what have you. Usually I only bring someone in case something happens and I get hurt (I get into a lot of fights...i dont know why)

[Falstaff]

^^^^^^^^^^^^ This.

[Shade Everdark]

My two cents...

Oh, so that's my problem, then.

[Head Wreck]

its not creepy

how else would you meet new people if yo0u moved to a new city after all

[Kit Kat P]

I do it all the time, it's how I got to know most of the people at the bar

[Destroit]

Of course it's creepy....creepy intrigues people to come mingle with you. Also, you don't have to feel obligated to buy your friends drinks 'cause they're lazy broke ass good for nothins.

My two cents...

But (at least) City Club is the perfect place for drinking alone and gawking at people.! So many people go to CC to 'be seen' as much as any other reason.

[sass_in_the_pants]

Leave the chainsaw at home, then it won't be creepy.
