This is a genuine question which I would like to have some answers to and not an attempt to start a debate for the sake of one.

I would like to know the reason(s) girls go to city centre bars on Friday and Saturday nights. As someone who has tried, so far unsuccessfully, to meet a girlfrind this way I am very interested to understand more about the situation I am going into, no doubt without sufficient knowledge.

Please tick more than one option if you think there more than one is true. I would very much welcome any comments and observations people have.

Cheers

ive answered he he h eh eh ehe

can you guess which one kirky?? lol

To see your bestest buddy in the whole wide world Kirky??? :gag:

I'm really not convinced that a bar on a weekend night is the right place to meet anybody. It's fairly difficult to get a genuine insight into somebody's personality in an alcohol fuelled, noisy venue. If you genuinely want to meet like minded people then it might be better to try clubs or societies rather than hoping to meet someone in a bar. Good luck to you whatever way you do it though.

A mate of mine met a girl at 2am in a kebab shop. Last month they got married.

They've got class my mates ;)

Good Grief!!!

This is like the people that fanny about while house hunting, debating whether this is right or that's right.
Just put in an offer, nothing is commited untill the paper work is done.

Do you really need to know a person's entire mind from the first glance.
If you see someone across a busy bar that float's your boat, put in an offer.
It may be the one, if not what have you lost.

If they're in the same noisy bar tanked up to the eyeballs on Bacardi Breezers as you are then obviously they would be very like minded.

ive done this for years


thats why im sucha porker

b ut it turns the laydees off

Was considering slimsid's other posts though where i believe he has mentioned that he was not keen on the student drinking lifestyle so bars may not be his ideal for meeting girls. Might be wrong though, can't be bothered to search and check.

Did he finish his Kebab ?? Without dressing :heyhey:

It looks from the poll (althogh there are not many votes) that msot people don't really see going out to bars as the best way to meet a partner.

Marrying a lady who frequents kebab shops, eh?

I bet the wedding ceremony didn't last long. She will have been hot-footing it to the buffet...

Or is she "not the running kind"?

Please get this back on topic.

What are people's views about the possibility (or not) of meeting a partner in a town centre bar (eg Empire) on a Friday/Saturday night.

i think the chances of meeting someone for a one night are high, but the chances of something meaningful happening are not so high. Things just happen when they're going to happen. If you extend your friendship group through going out than you'll naturally meet more girls anyway.

Empire bar? ... OK if you're a barrel scraper.

I agree... Reads like a great personal ad...

Internet user, frequents Empire Bar. NSOH.

Isn't that you getting off the topic now?

I don't know... It's one rule for you...

I met my fiance out at corporation in sheffield... we are both from barnsley originally so it can happen! x

Now that I don't mind. If you're going to meet someone in a club, meet someoen on your level. If you're a Corporation regular, stick with someone from there. Don't go contaminating anywhere with a bit of class.

it depends what type of girl you wanna meet and what club you go to mate. personally i go to dance 1st, drink 2nd oh and talk to buddies 3rd. pulling? cant be bothered, lads are generally stupid when drunk and just annoying. dont people meet more at work nowadays or coll/uni?
saying that, i met mine at GATECRASHER! and founds out he worked at same place as me too.
good luck, dont come on too strong and dont look desperate xx

Was it love at first E?

im sure i dont know what you mean smedley

Not too sure at all about the example of Empire...but I think the point of going out is to have a good time with the friends you've already got and maybe see if you'll meet someone. By 'someone' I mainly mean it could be a new friend but it could maybe lead to something else...

Ok there is a possibility of meeting a 'partner' (to use your term) when you're out at the weekend but I'm never too sure about this. Having said that from some of the other threads on this forum there are plenty of single, decent people out there who like to go out and have a good time so I'm gonna wish you 'good luck' for this weekend!
