Game Over?


Dress to impress. This is the rule for going out, among other rules if you believe in them. Dress to impress and meet new people that I won't talk to past the next day. I don't even believe what people say anymore. After a weekend and a half of going out with the idea of dressing to impress, I'm starting to believe it's doing more damage than good. I think my GAME might be over.

Or perhaps, I'm trying too much too fast. The bottom line is that I'm not the bar-type girl and I don't want a bar-type guy, so what am I doing in a bar? It's fast fun. Unfortunately, that is what the average American demands. I wouldn't classify myself as average. I wouldn't classify my friends as average. We are better than average, so why would I demand anything less from someone I date?

The next step: Find a new destination.

You are right. Who would want to have this conversation with their kids one day...

"Mommy where did you meet daddy?"
"I met him at a bar."

In my opinion, since I have so many, the meet and greet at bars serves 2 purposes: to build up your rapport and confidence with face to face conversations. With myspace and facebook on the current social front, live interaction has lost it's appeal and it's quality.

"Mommy where did you meet daddy?"
"I met him at on myspace."

I don't know which is worse.

Haha!
You're both very right about this: Bars suck. But they're good for building social skills. They're also great dancing. (Everone says you shouldn't date someone you meet in a bar, or someone getting their groove on in the produce section.)
I can't remember ever meeting anybody at a bar that led to anything good. (but I'm a chronically shy person, so maybe I'm the wrong one to ask about meeting people)
So what's wrong with people in bars? Certainly going to a bar does not make one a bad person. I go to bars, and I know I pretty much rock. :P Lots of people go to bars. My 'soul mate' is probably at a bar right now getting accosted by mr wrong.
I it just the venue that puts people in the wrong frame of mind?

You also bring up a good point Sparky. I go to the bars and I think I'm a pretty awesome individual.

I think the negative view of meeting someone at the bar/club has to do with the presence of alcohol and suggestive music. I sound like I'm from the 1950s but that's probably what it is.

Awesome people go to the bars all the time, so why aren't they allowed to hook up? Haha, I should wear an "I am awesome" shirt to a club sometime.
