I stumbled onto your blog about a month ago and have to say that you have some really useful advice. I think that it depends on the type of person you are. I rarely go to bars since I turned 25, but enjoyed them prior to that. A big part of that was socializing with a heavy drinking crowd that knew how to be the life of a party. I actually used to put money down on the bar and offer to pay anyone who could finish an Irish Car Bomb before me $20. It always gathered a crowd, I never lost, and people actually began paying for my drinks just to watch me down them with superhuman speed. Given the inherent unhealthiness of that practice, it stopped after my college days. When not drunk, I soon realized that bars were a terribly boring place to spend one's time. There are two exceptions to this rule: 1. Holidays - Valentine's Day was mentioned above. I recently went out for halloween dressed as a 6 ft beer bottle and beautiful women were walking right up to me and begging to take pictured and talk to me. 2. Professional conferences - I have had a great time at bars when at a large conference as you are bound to run into people in your industry with a least one common interest. In fact, I think attending conferences any field in which you have an interest is a great way to meet intelligent women. Hmm…interesting observation David.

Bars are not a fun place. People don't even try to sociolize, even the women. Sometimes the women will be like circling around the bar, touching my back with the "excuse me" and then on. I always tell my friend that bars is not the best way to meet people who are down to earth and open for a great conversations. I think one reason is because people come in with an mission (stick it in, or get hammered tonight), and since they're in that tension level, it makes them more nervous. oh well, what can I say???? better stay home and beat myself up till I explode than waste $5 dollars going to a place where you won't even enjoy yourself, huh? lol ahaahahaha p.s: Don't get too excited people!!! I know y'all have such a dirty mind....................... You are so right David. Bars are not a fun place. People don’t even try to sociolize, even the women.

It's definitely not my favorite place to go just to have fun. I'd rather go to an event... some art walk then go by a bar to have a drink but I never pick a bar as THE place to go to have fun. I prefer lounges. I'll say this though... if you have the right mindset and you understand what bars are for, bars can be actually pretty fun. A couple weeks ago, I went to happy hour with 3 girls + my g/f... and I have to say, it was probalby the most fun I've had at a bar in a while. The girls just know how to entertain themselves and keep the energy up. When you are with that kind of fun people, ANYTHING is fun! I actually don’t mind bars.

Thank you Brandon for providing me (and others of course) a different perspective on bars. I agree with you that if you are a student in, say, a college town, the bars might be a great place to meet up with other students. I overlooked that. I guess I'm biased against bars since I don't like to drink and I hate to be surrounded by cigarette smoke or people who smell like it. This was a great discussion on here on this post.
