Do yall think going to a bar solo is lame?

[Dushane Hill]

Funny how people feel the need to come on the internet and check if something is lame or not before they do it.

I pretty much only do it if I'm just wasting time after work. Other than that I just chill at the crib. I don't typically spend money to just get out the house.

It’s not lame, but the few times I’ve done it I was paranoid the whole time. I just feel like I have a big target on my back if I’m alone at a bar or strip club after 10 P.M.

You a man or a woman because frankly you sound like a chic. Where you live?

Just don’t go solo to a bar and bury your head in your phone like most seem to do at bars now

Obviously..
Not all the bars I went to were seedy,especially going to Cal Berkeley..
I would go in the afternoon or after class and sip on a beer and read..
Many of those bars at lunch would be filled with all kinds of people..
Smashed a marketing analyst..
A milf Japanese paag..
Flight attendant..
Several “import tuner models”(the original Instagram model)
Other college students..
List goes on..
The dive bars where different but I still followed the formula that worked at the “Cheers” type of bars..
A lot of women see it as confidence..
Granted you have to be fashionable and not creepy looking
But a lot of people(per responses in this thread) don’t have confidence in just being by themselves but women really hate it(obvious blanket statement is obvious)..
I used to eat by just sitting at the bar..
Talking to the bartender..
Girls would see us laughing and would become intrigued and move down to hear what we were talking about..
The rest would be history

By "street bar" I don't mean seedy or hood I mean a normal bar on the street hotel bars? Yeah but bringing a book out the whip and walking across the street book in hand to get a drink seems odd.

I don't mind going to a bar by myself but I don't feel like ending up in the wrong bar by myself.

Not lame at all. Its healthy to be able to spend time on your own.

I’m a dude, and you wouldn’t understand where the paranoia comes from. Let’s just say I’ve been in some fukked up situations outside the US, living amongst folks who you’re not sure if they’re gonna try to kill you if they catch you slipping. I’ve been out of that life for three and a half years now, but I’m still hyper aware of my surroundings and on edge a lot. I’m not comfortable being easily outnumbered in potential situations involving folks who’ve been drinking or getting high on some shyt. Areas I’m in would usually be Louisville or Nashville, sometimes Memphis.

 

[Nasty_Nate]

Honestly though, I’d do it with little hesitation at a hotel bar. If I’m actually staying at the hotel.

I would say it’s more dangerous going out with other dudes. it’s too hard to control what other people do and nikkas throw the term homeboy around looosely. Lot of times you don’t know what these folks got going on breh. One of your brehs could’ve finessed somebody and got folks looking for him or maybe one of your patnas just a stone cold hot head. And if you a stand up guy when it pops off you standing right there with him. Yeah it’s admirable, but it’s not a smart way to move, because when them people come you getting the same exact charge even though your homeboy was the one who really did it. Or you catching a round or 2 because the dude riding shotgun with you is a scum bag. I’ve seen it play it out exactly like that, it sucks but it’s apart of the burden of being a young Black man. It’s funny you said dangerous because that’s a big part of the reason I go out solo or with chicks now. I used to think like you do back in the day but these days I’m way more comfortable 1 deep.

This is the main reason I rock solo Johnson. I done been shot at years ago hanging with one of my old potnas from back in da gap. He dead now but boy he was living foul mane. Only if I knew I dodged a mf me bullet rs

Really bad with names but I can tell you locations
I met my girl at Grand Prize..
But being that I live in the SWAT(especially back in 99)
I would just go to random shyt on Wilcrest, Bissonnet, Beechnut, Corporate Kirkwood, Boone, Cook, Hwy 6..
Them “fly by night” bars that only last 6 months
I used to go to that club off Main and the loop..
Can’t remeber the damn name..
I also used to go to them old head places like Times Square and it’s was another joint on Hiram Clarke when I wanted some milf action
But now it seems every club is hipster chic( ie Grand Prize or the bars in the village)..
Granted every now and then I go to something in the SWAT with the fellas but young nikkas over here don’t know how to act
But like you said going out solo..
Those where good days for me...
Because people actually mingled and talked..
Went to a lounge/bar with my girl last weekend and people were so deep in their phones but still hanging out with people
And I’m an introvert to my heart but conversation just flowed back in the day because you really didn’t have the distractions like now..

Cornbreads was the shyt back then

Bring a book, buy drinks for ladies or act like you waiting for someone

 

[ThatTruth777]

why you care, you thirsty go drink

 

[Vandelay]

I roll solo often...depends on what you want out of going solo.

Bring a book, buy drinks for ladies or act like you waiting for someone

we still tricking in 2018?

Going to small pubs solo is great, just hang out and give yourself some time to think.

I’ve been approached by numerous women just sitting at a bar killing off an hour or whatever

Also, my girl is a bartender so I go there when she’s working sometimes by myself but that doesn’t really count I guess

This. It happens almost every time.

Last night it happened at 2 out of 3 bars I went to. First bar was a bunch of red necks and former hippies jamming to some classic rock cover band. Went up to the bar and some old blonde woman started talking to me. Walked away and came back and she tells me she told her friend that she was just talking to a good looking chocolate man . Talked to her again as she was leaving. Said she wasn't a regular there and that she needed to get home.

3rd bar I was at some young big mixed girl kept looking at me. She comes up to me and we talk. She then buys me a shot and we continue talking. I go.to.the bathroom and she disappears. I leave the bar and see she's outside crying while talking on the phone . I go to give her a hug and she shoves me away and I say are you ok and she shakes her head yes

I've had so many crazy encounters at bars while dolo. And yes,women typically come to you.
