Well, as promised, here is the other side of the argument: the type of guys who go to bars.

The 5/10 guy: With a little alcohol in your system and dim lighting, he may appear to look like a ten. But remember, with the dim lighting, that’s an extra point for him on the rate system. And if you’re drunk? That’s an extra two points. So if he looks like an 8, chances are he’s really a 5. The best thing for you to do is ask your friend for confirmation.

The Compulsive Liar: He came into the bar with a story already. He’ll try to impress you with his “impressive” job and history. He’s probably going to tell you he’s a doctor or a musician just to get in your pants, or get your number at least. So you should just fabricate a bigger story in response, like you’re a princess or the creator of post-its.

The Married guy aka the Cheater: He’s hitting on you despite that ring on his finger. He’s bored and has a gameplan in mind. He could even have kids at home, but they’re probably sleeping at this point and he has no morals. Or you can’t tell if he’s divorced or lying about being married because you don’t see the ring, but you see a ring tan line? Just remember, when in doubt, don’t put out.

The Creepy Old Guy: He has white hair and he probably came by himself. If there’s dancing, he’s on the side boogying on his own. He probably has his thumbs up in the air as he shakes his hips carefully back and forth, being very cautious of his already bad back.

The Actual Normal guy: Okay, so not all guys at the bar are sketchy. There are actually some who are there for the same reason you are: to drink and be merry. These guys are probably the ones that haven’t talked to you, and the ones you most likely want to talk to…just don’t be THAT girl who stares at the hot guy at the bar. Not smooth.

Hmm, this subject is pretty interesting to write about.  Maybe the next one should be, the types of people you should avoid when going out on the town.  Stay tuned?
