What's the point of going to clubs/bars?

>Go out with friends to bar
>Everyone sits at table looking around, not really talking, in hopes to find a laydee.
>I try making conversation as I'm watching a hockey game.
>I pay $5 for one beer.
>No one is taking to each other still looking around for chicks.
>There's maybe 3 girls in the whole place and they're with their boyfriends.
>I give up trying to make conversation and just watch hockey.

I could've stayed home on my comfy couch with a 6 pack of tall boys, that I only would've paid $4 for and watched hockey there.

Why do people suck?

It's not the club/bar, stupid!

Drinking

I've never had a good experience at a bar but I have been choked out, screamed at and made up elaborate false identities to share with strangers while shitfaced.

There's no actual point in trying to be part of society right now as a male unless you're a millionaire or at least doing extremely well for yourself financially. Not even exaggerating/memeing.

Also, stop trying to be a woman. Women socialise for emotional reasons. Men who socialise for emotional reasons are wasting their time. Men should only ever socialize if it involves building connections to build your own business.

Just take note of all the men who actually go out all the time and socialize for no reason other than for emotional support, they're all very feminine and have zero leadership skills and are all generally wage-cucks.

Real men don't have time to waste time piss-farting around talking non-sense, real men are either working in solitude or building connections to further their own FINANCIAL interests.

loser

>6 pack of tall boys
Hell yeah, guy.

You can be close to people you deem trustworthy but it ought to be a high bar. Sociopathy is not necessary. I do agree that many things that are "expected" or considered "normal" are feminized and ultimately worthless pursuits for a man.

gotta find a better bar. Usually the cheaper and more shitty the better

Try not being a complete aspie.

Mate you have fucking shit friends.

How am I trying to be a woman?

They invited me out and we're just sitting at a table, no ones saying anything, awkward as shit. I'm extremely introverted but if I'm out, might as well try to make conversation, why waste my time when I could be at home?

So I can scam you into buying my overpriced beer (family owns a pub)

But yeah after working in them for years you develop a low opinion of clubs and bars, they're all sluts, drunks, druggies or lonely dudes with no friends (notice how often you see men drinking alone but you never, NEVER see a woman drinking in a bar on her own)

sounds like you went to a whack bar with whack friends autismo

night game is dead in America. Old time dive bars where you can talk with boomer closeted racists are the only places worth going out to

I agree 100%. They also talk shit behind each others backs. If I didn't work with these guys, there's no fucking way I'd be here right now.

You have shitty friends and bad taste in bars

Just drink alone user. If you like drinking that is. Also try being more alpha.

I gotta agree with this. Anybody going to the bar to pick up chicks is a blue pilled cuck or degenerate manwhore who will never contribute anything to society at best.

Ive never once had a good experience with a legit bar. The crowd tends to be super aggro or super thirsty as you described.

But Ive had some success in a sports bar & grill. Aka a restraurant with a bar in it. Normal people go to those and ironically there are more women in them too so the thirsty fags dont have to sit around being aggro.
Also you can get slightly better food to much on.

Bars are most fun with some friends and family, for sure. It's good to just talk, watch the game and hang out at a slower bar imo. And then, if you're up for it, try to meet a grill before you're too drunk.

If you're going to a club/party bar, though, I think you need a girl beforehand. It's near impossible to hook up there unless you're stunningly good lucking and incredibly charming. Or just go to the party bar super wasted and get up to some shit, I don't know.

But yeah I realized hooking up at bars isn't ideal honestly, and that it's better to just get a gf before going to one.

>American
lol that didn't take long did it.

These sound like part of good experiences to me.

Your friends suck.
I've played drinking games at bars, flirted with cuties, witnessed and participated in drug deals, bantered, sang, danced, competed in feats of strength, talked down fist fights, and taken photos with coked up retirees, and to top it all off I've discovered my party skill is successfully putting condoms on ANYTHING (salt shakers, phones, beer mugs, stuffed animals) and getting a laugh/tit show for it.

I don't go out anymore because it always ends up the same.
>sitting at table with friends, all ignoring each other and looking at their phones, occasionally looking up to read aloud something funny or to share a video or picture, but besides that dead silence

that's how most normalfags socialise, they don't even really like each other they just develop a tolerance because they work together and want to fit in

I hear you user. I'm 32 and gave up the bar scene years ago. Granted, tap beers are not anywhere NEAR $5 here (I live in likely the drunkest state in the union) but everytime I went out it was an easy $100 or so. Can't smoke. Can't have a decent conversation with anyone because some RRREEEEEEEEE drunken banshee bitch has the jukebox cranked with nigger shit.

Fuck it. Me and the missus stay home with a 30 pack and trawl the interwebs for entertainment.

Bars and clubs are fucking pointless and no fun, even when really high. I'll still go out on occasion, but its never really all that enjoyable. If I'm going to be in that kind of environment, the music has to be live and preferably something I can dance to.

I really hate trying to have conversations in bars, its too fucking loud.

Bars fucking blow. Having friends over with booze is infinitely better, plus you can smoke ganja if you want.

Sportsbars are not for picking up women

Fucking exactly. I could be at home playing vidya games and drinking right now.

Many such cases, sad!

>go out with buddies to a sports bar
>get away from my wife who thinks that I am still working
>they get away from their wives too

that is the point

Girls don't want to go to dives, they're all holed up in clubs that play shitty music.

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music they constantly play

I'm seriously tempted to abide by the stereotypes, go rob your house and force you to get out.

you go to clubs and bars because once in a fucking while you'll experience a good night. Good enough to gaslight you into thinking is going to happen again.

You're going to the wrong bars

> and you're probably ugly

clubs and bars are slag pick up lobbies with hooked gamblers on the side

nothing more

>Real men don't have time to waste time piss-farting around talking non-sense, real men are either working in solitude or building connections to further their own FINANCIAL interests.

Or physical or spiritual lad. Nothing wrong with going for a run or reading philosophical material like pico della mirandola or tao te ching.

But you're right, only men deep seated mommy and daddy issues want to lean on other people for social nurturing. Everyone needs to vent and talk things out, but that's what family is for.

This place is called Medusa's lounge

You have to be trying NOT to get laid to not get laid there

Hipster bar-hopping on bikes 2008-2012 was like... man oh man... I can't even count dude

You can basically rape a girl at the club with consent.

Could be worse they could be listening to the smiths

Women only like niggers and arabs. As a white male your only option is paying for a hooker.

If you don't invest a lot of time at a particular bar, you're going to have a bad time. Like anything, you have to frequent an establishment of you want to have fun. You want to get to a point where you know a lot of the regulars and staff. If you can reach a point where, when you walk in alone you're greeted with a lot of friendly smiles, handshakes and even a few hugs, you're in good company even if you don't talk to anyone outside of that place.
Going to a place you have never been to or barely frequent without the intention of ever planting roots is a waste of time and money.
Point is, don't bother with the bar if you're not going to keep going back to the same place(s) because it's pointless. But if you do go, go with the intention of going regularly and the intention of making it a place where everyone knows you.
Having a watering hole you can call yours is a good thing. It helps you network and have something to do other than jerking off or playing videogames when you're not working, and being honest, after enough time having a few of these bars where you're well known WILL pay dividends on the social side of things. I've been invited to a few interesting parties, had countless sexual encounters with women, etc.
It's worth it if you put yourself out there and make it part of your lifestyle. Just dont be retarded with your money, stick to the specials and don't over drink and you'll be fine.

true

Dude he's trying to get LAID

Tip the bartender $10 on your first drink if there are a lot of girls and it's crowded. Hang around until 1AM and help thicc girls get drinks until one makes out with you and then call an Uber. You should be about 10 beers in at this point

Me and my friends have a great conversation while getting drunk and watching the hockey game.

The women come around 10pm or we go to a different bar and pick up girls.

Go home and fuck them


I don't understand what you don't get it? It's a blast.

Meet new people? Jesus user, if I have to tell you this...

Meeting people. I hate bars though I'd rather grab beers and go to the sea or to a place with a neat scenery

Fucking this. Learn to bullshit and have a good time you fucking autist. Merry people and learn their intetests, there are a TON of interesting people in the world who do cool shit. Don't worry about women, if you do this, they will come to you

...I fail to see how any of this is appealing....

>t. drinks alone user who doesn't think being drunk and sex mixes at all.

I'm with the people I work with right now. If I was at home playing video games, I'd at least be talking to my buddies over the mic or they'd be at my house drinking.

The whole point of this is that I don't understand why people invite you to go out, if you're just going to sit there either staring at your phone or looking around for non-existent woman (the ratio is like 25 guys to 5 girls and they have boyfriends). I work with these guys so I figured, yeah I'd go out drinking why not. And I've just wasted 2.5 hours of my night sitting here.

spoken like a true Puritan

You fucking retard. I'm the only one trying to make conversation. They're either looking at their phones or looking for woman, who aren't even here. Why waste my fucking time?

What the fuck are you guys so autistic you can't even pick up a fucking girl at a bar?

I met my current gf at a bar, cockblocked some other dude and fucked her 3 days later.

Ffs it's not hard.

Go for the beer stay for the roasties

*Staring at chicks with their boyfriends or husbands standing right next to them.

NOT POLITICS

Jeeze man it's so easy to pick up girls. A lot of the PUA stuff is lame and a waste of time but it'll help you get off the ground

Call them out on being on their phones. Bring up more interesting conversation subjects, say controversial shit in a joking manner and watch them reeeeeee. Ask them to play darts or pool, this shit is not complicated if you aren't an autie

Thats because even the fattest old slag who sits alone at a bar gets chatted up in under ten minutes

In the old days it was where men would gather to discuss politics and make connections.

Your friends sound awful.

I mean Finns are known as silent and shy people but in 10 years of going to bars I've never been in a bar sitting around with people in awkward silence.

Me: You guys want to head down the street to a different bar?

Coworker: No..let's just stay here..we always come to this bar.

>out on a tuesday
>surprised no qts are about
friday or saturday

>Men should only ever socialize if it involves building connections to build your own business.
>Anglos actually believe this

Zeitgeist is pretty dope if you go on a Sunday when it has fewer yuppies

They have a decent jukebox and a great beer menu!

And they just redid their bathrooms

Can't imagine who lives upstairs, since it's next to an overpass and above a metal bar

>go to bar with friends
>they all are on Pokémon Go
My friends are retarded.

this is true, wouldn't waste any time on that shit. instead focus on urself. spend all ur time making bank, getting ripped. take a few decent photos of ur self on vacation or with your expensive hobbies, cars, bikes, boats etc and ur'll get plenty of hits on any hook up apps. but even then i still perfer hookers over dating. women are a waste of time

Asking them to go to a different bar is trying to solve symptoms and not the disease. It's like the retards in high school with shitty attitudes who think that moving to a different town will help them better their life. It won't. It's your attitude that matters. Have fun and fuck what they think, they will love it

>kek I feel bad for you bro

>take a few decent photos of ur self on vacation or with your expensive hobbies, cars, bikes, boats
>i still perfer hookers

ok m8
lmao

You have really shitty friends. I actually know people at my bar and i talk to someone new everytime I go

Just keep going back and you'll make inroads. You have to decide what you want out of an establishment you're planning to frequent though. If you just want a place to get out of the house and see acquaintances, the corner dive bar will work. If you're like me though, and you're looking for a little light networking and opportunities to get laid, you have to search out bars that have good looking staff.
Whatever you desire, you need to put in the time and money. Plant yourself right at the bar, talk to the staff, whatever. Over time they'll remember you and you can network those acquaintances to make more acquaintances.
Before it closed down, I had a local bar I frequented for nearly a decade. It was ideal because the staff was always early to mid twenty something girls and a handful of men in the kitchen and on security. They had a variety of drink and games like pool and what not. I had made such in roads there from going often enough, that any time new staff started working there, they quickly learned who I was and made efforts to get to know me. This lead to several of the men playing videogames with me and also lead to countless sexual encounters between myself and the waitstaff and female regulars. You lay one and then everyone talks, giving social proof and opening other options. I even had my first threesome (mff) with a pair of the waitresses thanks to all of that time I spent there.
Point is, most people aren't going to open themselves up to stuff like sex and other stuff without having a lot of time to get to know you, so you're going to have to spend time getting to know people (it's why work and school are such common places for couples to meet). That's it, that's the purpose of bars. They're local watering holes and the owners make money on the human desire to socialize and gather in groups.

My go to.

where in america are 6 packs only $4?

ExpressMart

>go to bar
>find a spot
>ask person next to spot if it's taken half out of courtesy half to break the ice
> a good percentage of the time start a conversation and if not just enjoy my beer
i know were on Sup Forums but come on ya sperg

Just sounds like you've got some faggy friends

This really is an /r9k/ thread tbqhf

Lol what a fucking autist

>real men dont...

You dont know what youre talking about. Men have been drinking together socially for millenia. I meet up regularly with my mates for a drink up and good old laugh. We get drunk get into fights with eachother and with strangers. Then we get emotional and tell eachother we love eachother and if we're lucky we'll get a few girls in the group who want to have a gangbang.

Op you just have shit friends. Girls are put off by groups of guys who obviously on the prowl. If you go out with the intention of having fun with your pals youll have a much better time and women will be drawn to you when they see youre all having fun. Get some new friends

I've known/worked/hung out these guys for 4+ years.

They act all chill at work, make conversations, talk about random shit but whenever we goto bars they just sit there, not saying anything, looking at their phones, waiting for laydees to make the first move. I just noticed this tonight on how much time I waste doing this. I'm not trying to fucking network. I just want to have a few brews and a fun conversation.

YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM

You've surrounded yourself with shitty friends, and have now come to a Cantonese hand fishing forum to complain about how shitty your friends are.

Please neck yourself at your next possible convenience.

All the local bars have regressed into a ritual where the owner (read: king whom the patrons worship) parades around getting everyone fucked up on his dime and then about 30 of them in a group go back to his house for a coke-fueled orgy.

That group is tight and I was in it for a couple weekends a year ago, but 75% of the group is the same as it was a year ago, they just get loaded af each weekend!

Become a bartender, part time. Be the cool guy that doesn't hit on chicks. Let other guys look like idiots. Girls but drinks from you and then tip you. Always be worth but short in conversations with girls. They start pondering why you don't hit on them. Then you casually take them out for an after work drink. And then they are yours and you for paid for it. I've been a bartender for 20 years. Been laid by girls that were way out of my league dozens of times. And I got paid for it. Not to mention the hot waitresses I nailed as well. And many 3somes

where in america is expressmart? what fucking state are you in? the cheapest i have ever seen a 6 pack is $5.99 and thats not even for bud light, but shit tier like milwaukee

>all that autism

Having a drink with friends is one of the oldest pastimes in civilization you retard.

Syracuse

OP is a faggot.

I was on his side until I realized he is literally posting in this thread whining about how _____ his friends are and how much fun he's not having.

Suck it up you pussy. You obviously made a mistake, your "friends" are a bunch of manginas but be an alpha anyway and make the best of it. No more sniveling and crying. Once you read this post, log off and don't come back on here until tomorrow.

I better not see you post again or I will find you and make you wish you were never born. I'll make the Navy Seal copypasta guy look like Santa Claus

m8, the problem in there is that you and your friends are boring mother fuckers. Every time i go to a bar with my friends we are drunk as fuck talking bullshint and laughing till 6 am...

Go back to your school shooter board robot

Bars and clubs are degenerate as fuck and should be banned in the fourth reich

>third reich started in a beerhall

you faggot

...

Some of my friends can be like that, I learned I had to be the one to approach girls tables and can't rely on others

It's an incredible skill to learn, walking up to a group of girls and speaking to them. Make a joke, ask them a (light) question to debate, and invite them over to your table.

>Bars fucking blow. Having friends over with booze is infinitely better, plus you can smoke ganja if you want.

Can be, but sometimes it's nice going out as a group somewhere rather than being at the same persons houses over and over.

I smoke with the bartenders at the local dive anyways

That's why the fourth reich is best reich. Fix the problems that the last one had.

This is true. Live in college town and graduate next month. Haven't been out to any of the bars or clubs in about a year or so and don't feel the need to go back. If you're at a bar it's:
>Crowded as fuck and takes forever to get a drink
>Can't hear anything unless you're right next to someones ear
>Long bathroom line and the bathroom smells like a barnyard
>Awkwardly run into someone you know but aren't friendly with
At a club it's
>Can't see shit
>Can't hear shit
>Your supposed to unironically dance to god awful edm or shitty top 40 hits in the hopes of grinding with some fat and/or ugly slut

And of course alcohol is expensive as hell either way.

Fuck nightlife

This user knows whats up, even for a leaf. Start a lighthearted argument and ask a girl closeby to help resolve it, they love shit like that. That said, It is infinitely better to just have fun with the bros, that shit will come naturally if you are having the time of your life, people see that and are drawn to it, especially women. They will see you and make themselves apparent, then all you have to to do is break the ice with some bullshit that doesn't sound autistic.

There is truth to the "fake it til you make" slogan, no matter how cheesy it sounds

>$5 per beer
>Shitty music
>Can't have conversation without yelling because shitty music
>Only viable entertainment is sports on tv because too loud to browse the web on phone
>girls can be talked to anywhere else if you're not a social retard
>they usually go to bars with boyfriends because girls never go to the bar alone
>$3 to play song if your choice
>God forbid its something other than nigger music because you will hear people complain about it
>Your song probably gets skipped anyways because Tenisha went up to machine and spent $10 for four songs so her niggerbeats get priotity
>Disgusting piss rooms
>have to go outside for a cig
>Have to drive yourself home so can't get too hammered making the entire trip pointless
>end up with 3 pack of Tecate at home afterwards anyway
>Can play all vaporwave shit i want and smoke inside without anyone saying shit.

Yeah bars are pretty shit

Im at a bar roght niw, AMA

>they usually go to bars with boyfriends because girls never go to the bar alone

golly gee you must be a fucking retard m8!

where?
