the creepy part is going to a public place and sexualizing it by explicitly seeking out "pretty girl"s and buying them drinks.
Going out and seek genuine connections with people instead of buying "pretty girl"s drinks is not creepy.
- AdrianB1 7y agoYou don't go in a bar for a deep conversation, you have the library and local groups of interests for that. A bar is just for relaxing and socialization, you can talk anything you want as long as you find someone to listen (or ignore) you.
- throwaway3627 7y agoLibraries, at least in the US, are mostly silence zones apart from information/checkout areas. There are still a few independent bookstores left, and those are good. College is still the preferred and most popular setting to meet a quality spouse. Online should be considered one of many tools as an adjunct to IRL, but not the primary source.

- bluntfang 7y agoRelaxing and Socialization != Sexualizing a public place and solely trying to pick up women. Women want to go to a bar to relax too. Do you think they can relax when men are constantly trying to buy them drinks and calling them "pretty girls"? Genuine connection != deep conversation. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here, beyond being an advocate for harassment.
- AdrianB1 7y agoI am not advocating harassment; I consider harassment if you offer someone a drink, she is refusing and you insist. Not the case. There are some unwritten rules in bars: if a woman is sitting at the bar alone, she may want a drink from some guys, not from anyone. If a woman is with some guy, she probably will not be interested and it is not a good idea to try. Showing some availability is inviting - not crying out loud "I want to be offered a drink by a tall dark stranger", but the meaning is the same. Not harassment. Females don't contact directly guys, they want to be asked and to be allowed to choose. Basic human psychology, no big deal.
- major505 7y agoWell, I would be happy if anyone would buy me drinks. Because uually I'm broke af.
- ionised 7y agoI've had deep conversations in bars and pubs more times than I can remember. Philosophy, religion, music, software, politics etc. Maybe the lack of depth you are finding is down to the people you are with, or yourself.
- major505 7y agoWell, it dependends... last week I was drinkign a beer alone in my usual water shit hole, smoking a cigar... a guy came and ask for my ligther. In half a hour we where discussing the root causes of WWI. So... you can't have... but usually not with a girl you trying to impress.
