Not too long ago in the blog, we talked about guys who act like an ass in the bar. A few days after I posted that blog, I got an email from a guy who told me he had tried what I said and that it had worked! This guy said what I recommended in that blog, and (not surprisingly) the woman chose to stay with him instead of leaving with Mr. Annoying.

On Saturday night, we did something that we rarely do anymore. We went to a bar. We went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday after we saw Ray LaMontagne play in concert. When we left the concert, we went to the bar. As we were in there, I kept noticing some things that are really funny.

It’s time to let the coolness factor die.

I used to be you. I used to be “that guy.”

Last night I went out to an organic restaurant in Venice called Axe. It’s funny, and I’ve been saying this for decades, but men waste Saturday nights drinking in a bar while groups of women go out to dinner to avoid the drunken men at bars.
