99% of the time I go out, I'm going solo. I noticed that most of the guys who come to bars with a buddy or a couple of friends, usually stick within their groups. And if its only a couple of guys, they will awkwardly stand at the corners of a bar and run out of things to talk about.

Meanwhile, I am sitting at the bar and making conversation with the bartender, with the person next to me, and with anyone else that I find interesting. I used to feel awkward at first, but now I think its the most natural thing. People are interested in why a well groomed guy is sitting alone at the bar with great posture.

So the point is that there are many advantages to going solo instead of in groups. If you want to go out but don't have friends, fuck that shit. Go out solo. Get comfortable with going out by yourself.
