How are bars for meeting people? I have no where to go for meeting

People go to bars to be around other people. Drinking helps relax and loosen inhibitions so it's easier to talk to strangers.

People you meet at a bar can become a reliable social outlet, but I wouldn't expect that such people are necessarily going to become "real" friends.

If you don't know how you respond to alcohol, I would suggest you try to limit your alcohol intake.

Go on an activity night, it's hard to meet people in American life unless something else is going on around you.

They suck. If you just want conversation, KIK me:

tell_me_your_problem

If you want irl friends, then...meetup.com. Meetups have people looking to make friends. Bars have people looking to get picked up/get their drunk on.

I certainly know how to maintain my alcohol. It takes about 6-8 beers for me to feel satisfied with how drunk I am.

You mean like a local game night or something? I used to play Friday night Magic, but I never really met people there.

I have plenty of long distance friends. I don't need a faux therapist.

What are you trying to do? Making friends or getting pussy?

Get more friends. I'm not into hook up culture and I'm more looking to get out again. I had a really close group of friends from my highschool days but as of a few months ago most are either married or moved away.

Ok, that's fine. The second one is more common on this board, lol.

Instead of a bar, I'd say you should a class or some hobby activity. They have built in reasons to talk to people, and you know you have something in common if everyone is there for the same reason.

Yeah but that's a commitment and I haven't been in a classroomisetting in about 7 years. It's really not my thing. I work in an office 8-5 Monday through Friday so afterwards I usually just want to unwind.

I did and Improv class that really helped me meet people. We actually went out to eat together after every other class. It was fun. Think something artistic instead of a "class" class.

>Yeah but that's a commitment

This is why you don't have any friends

The only thing I've been interested in actually is learning to ride motorcycles. I've just been scared of it because I have very shaky hands.

Welp, you sure know how to make yourself look like a loser.

No one really likes being around drunk people except other drunk people. Enjoy finding your crowd of drinking buddies I guess.

>>18086566
Well what are some other things you'd suggest for going out? I really only like the typical 4chan hobbies and since I have a job, I'm not interested in anything like college. I really just want to know good places to meet people and a bar was the first thing that came to mind.

>>18086576
Just because you are going to a bar does not mean that you are required to get drunk. Most people who are not drunks or dumbass kids are going to view getting drunk as a huge negative. Maybe I'm reading more into your phrasing than is really there.

I don't know what the "typical 4chan hobbies" are. The stereotype is masturbation, crying about being alone, crying about how other people are trash, self-diagnosing mental illness, and watching anime.

You summed up 4chan really well.

Going to a bar is not a bad idea. You can strike up a small conversion but a lot of the times you will be drinking alone.

I did go to a bar by myself once. It wasn't a bad experience, I went to this bar frequently so I knew the staff and some of the patrons. I only wanted to stay maybe an hour. I got so wrapped up talking to random people that time flew. What I thought was 9pm by looking outside it was really 12:30am. Told the waitress to get me a cup of coffee and cash me out.

I never did it again. But it was not a bad experience. It was a lot of fun. But you need to be in a bar that you are comfortable with.
