In all honesty if you go to bars looking to get laid I think most chicks can pick up on that, it's easier to go out with friends and see what happens. Also you really don't wanna get wasted and desperate and take home something you'll regret

But you're assuming they're there for the same reason as you, I agree being forward works well but it's situational, most of the time girls are out with their friends and will usually brush off a single guy trying to hit on them, if you go out with friends you're more likely to actually talk to one as people start socialising, wing men make all the difference
[–]willgo-waggins 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly. Bad assumption.
I was out the last two nights with a woman friend who I am well aware has wanted to sleep with me for some time. Circumstances have not worked out to this point. And the last two nights the first the venue sucked and it was like a geriatric fest (and we are 51 and 47!) and the second the band was flat.
It completely killed and soured her mood and vibe. And both nights the second she saw me she was putting out the hard core “I want you to fuck me” vibe but it died with the environment.
Women are much more sensitive to these things and they generally like to be chased and treated like they are somewhat innocent and all. And if you are putting out that “I’m here to get laid!” vibe, they are going to sense it and usually turn off even when they want it.

Go for whatever works for you, I've had single friends complain of the same thing, might be worth changing up your method but GL either way man
[–]MomsSpecialFriend 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
I’m a bartender at a Latin dance club where women dress half naked and I rarely see women actually leave with our “regular” playboys. Maybe they get numbers but they don’t take them home as much as you’d think. These men seem generally put together, possibly have money, reasonably attractive and the women I do see them take home are usually kind of a mess. They are there at least one night a week. They buy a LOT of drinks for girls.

It’s going to take a while then. Women like gifts. 🤷♀️

I have no idea why you are complaining or are having such a hard time when you’re so charming…
[–]fewbar20212 points 4 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Lmao this. OP is extremely confident in himself but can’t seem to charm a lady at a bar or two.
If he understood “how women work”, as he says, he wouldn’t have asked the question lol.
Sorry to out you OP, but it’s blatant. Everyone sees it, im just the dude saying it. Lighten up and try being more open to new ideas, everyone here is giving fairly good advice (coming from someone who doesn’t have the same problem you do), you just don’t like it because there’s no simple “heres where you go exactly where women are looking for sexual partners” answer.

I didn’t make you say anything, fool. I did not put a gun to your head and tell you to say some thing or else I’ll blow your brains out. You just said whatever was on your mind, you had a choice to say that or anything else. Lmao

[–]Medical-Tumbleweed46 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
for real tho, get there earlier or hit up more places.
[–]ISpitInYourEye 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Getting there earlier before everyone is drunk puts you in a more favourable position if you can approach and talk to girls while other guys are trying to down drinks to get their courage. Become THE social person, talk to multiple girls, build rapport with several, then circle back later in the evening when they are more tipsy. They will already be familiar with you as the guy they spoke to earlier and be more open to talking with you further, which gives you a leg up over other guys too.

First good advice in this thread, I will definitely try this next time I go out
[–]willgo-waggins 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Pay attention. I used to think that “fashionably late” or “club time” was the way to go.
Yeah that’s fine when you are going out with a group - especially a mixed one (men and women).
But as a single guy especially if you go alone you want to be there early, get yourself set up in a prime position where a lot of interaction is easy, and you have a good view/perspective of everything. Don’t slam yourself drunk in the first half hour. I always start with a double tall so there is plenty of hydration happening but I SIP IT so I don’t get stupid. You will be relaxed and smoother but you won’t be stupid like the guys rushing to catch up by slamming shots. Talk to as many women as you can as they come up or by. It doesn’t matter what just create interaction.
And by all means be flexible. If the first two places don’t seem to be worthwhile, cut bait early rather than wasting your night staying too late. Move on the the next spot and modify your plan accordingly.

Try nightclubs with dance floors instead
[+]manageo01 -7 points-6 points-5 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Try a massage parlor :)
[–]DoctorForesight 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I've enjoyed going for a $200 "massage", but I think we're all here so we can learn how to get it for free.
[–]manageo01 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
“Free” relationships isn’t free sex. Bars/clubs aren’t either…
[–]DoctorForesight 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Still better than $200 a pop
[–]manageo01 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Depends how much you spend on drinks a night at bars…
[–]babyarmnate 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Go to bars with your friends with no intention of getting laid. Have fun with your friends. Order drinks, get food, laugh, joke around. This will naturally attract women to you, I promise.
[–]Crisia_1234 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't want to sound negative but it's way better to do that alone. I only had bad experiences being with friends since the good looking women went for my better looking friends most of the time. So I was stuck with unattractive ones. 95% of the time, nothing even happened. You still need to compete with your friends if you do that and the you may take the shorter end of the stick.
You were born alone You will die alone So you might get girls alone
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Alright I'll give it a shot
[–]babyarmnate 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah man. I’ve always had the best success with women when I’ve gone out with no intentions of hooking up. Women are attracted to confident men who seem like they’re a good time. A lot of the times, you’ll notice a woman looking at your friend group. Just make eye contact with her. If she makes eye contact back and you can tell she’s interested, invite her over for drinks. It’s easier if she’s with her girlfriends, too. Making eye contact with a woman across the bar is my most successful strategy lol
[–]AceCoE 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
The only strategy I have is: approach one member of the group (guy or girl) in a friendly way and, as quickly as possible, start talking to the other members of the group. If you only focus on one, they're gonna eventually feel like talking to you is a chore and want to return attention to their friends. Usually I use situational stuff to spark conversation.
From there, you can ask about the group members and figure if the guys are boyfriends or not. I like to spend a few minutes engaging multiple people in the group before focusing on the chick, otherwise my intentions are obvious. When I feel like the group is warm to me, I'll start talking to the girl I want. You'd be surprised how alot of guy friends will calmly back down when they get that short intro to know you're cool. As opposed to feeling up on a girl on the dance floor and then her friends barreling in to cock block.
In my experience, this is harder to pull off in nightclubs than bars or other social venues (nightclubs just do weird things to people's psyche).
[–]AceCoE 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I probably would too. Recently I opened a group of 6+ girls at a discoteca because I had some good dance moves and got the eye of one of the chicks. The others were pretty warm to me after that. Most girls are terrible dancers, and I'm into house/melbourne shuffle so it's really easy to impress them that way.
But... sometimes you're surrounded by mixed groups. An example is when I went to one of those arcade bars and practically every group was mixed, so I had no choice and just wanted to improve my game a bit. I opened up this guy who looked like a gym bro, waiting to play the basketball game with his group (I'm also a gym bro, so clicking with him was easy). Then I talked to other a few of the girls in the group. I commented on how amazing their pizza looked (I genuinely thought that, important to not sound fake) and they actually offered me some, lol. I grabbed a bite and started talking to them to get some basic info about the girls that I could really kick the convo off with. Then I started flirting/poking fun at/talking to the girl I wanted.
I ended up getting kind of blocked out by another guy in the group who I think had his eye on the same chick. She jumped up to play a game and then they started talking to each other. But the fact I opened up a bunch of strangers and vibed with the cute one in the group was a small win for me. I guess the lesson is to isolate sooner, or I should have invited her myself to play a game once she was warmed up to me.

[–]AceCoE 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good man. Practice is really the only way to learn and internalize this stuff. There was a time where I wouldn't even bother approaching a group with guys. Then you realize you're doing nothing but adding value to their night by socializing with them, and all doubt goes out the window.
There WILL be that odd group that acts very stuck up and doesn't engage, but by not being shaken I've actually turned around a couple of those groups. Usually when I get a negative reaction I just give an unbroken stare at the person and smirk like I'm amused. I think the confidence eventually breaks em down. Worth noting, I'm approaching people adjacent to the group I'm with, not just wandering around approaching groups solo. That's something I could use work on.
[–]L0n3W01f_ 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It’s a numbers game, keep increasing your volume, for example the more bars you go to the more chances you have meeting women
[–]DoctorForesight 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Probably try different bars or go on a different night. One bar that was usually full of couples had a lot of women there with female friends when I went to Sunday night karaoke.
Also, clubs. Try learning to dance from YouTube videos and practicing at home.

I am so sick of these fucking things telling people to not say stuff they don’t agree with.
In a comment before you said an above average man settles for any woman he can get like stfu. That’s lack of having balls and going after what you want. Since you’re preaching to other people on how to get better in other comments but on this one it seems you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing.
God I hate this sub sometimes
[–]Alushi99 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Explain to me how you can give advice to people if you yourself just said you don’t know what you’re doing
[–]Alushi99 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Brother an attitude like that is so toxic for life. Those looking at things like this “objectively” are just masking insecurities. I think it’s fine to not be confident and to want to improve everyday. But why would you put this perspective in peoples minds that they are fighting for scraps lmao. That’s just so wrong in the real world brother
[–]Alushi99 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I have no problems with you. I have a problem with spewing the same garbage that half this sub does about people not being good enough blah blah blah. Anyone can be good enough if they work to improve in the aspects of life they need to improve on. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are there rn but anyone who truly wants to get better at anything can do so by putting the time in

To be honest, going with a friend makes it better. Also, don’t make it obvious you’re at a bar to get laid. Impression matters!
[–]manageo01 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
There’s the difference between being subtle and being blunt.
If a girl makes it obvious that they’re only interested in being with the guy for their money. Would you be interested in them?
Similar logic.
[–]ryukohomaru 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Try to go to one when there something that actually interest you. Like there’s a game going on, UFC fight, or turtle racing. That way you feel more secure and don’t feel out of place.
[–]HorusCok 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you're 22 in a small town. you already know all the single people and who they're dating.
Go a couple of towns over.
