15 Ways Women Scare Off Men At Bars - Page 4

We can all get a little rowdy when we’re in a bar, but if you’re out to meet a good man, forget that the sticky tequila-covered chairs are there and the obnoxious band and act normal. Here are 15 ways women scare off men at bars.

Teasing his outfit

You just want to be playful when you approach him and say, “Hey fedora” or “Are those women’s jeans?” But now he thinks you’re one of those confrontational types who can’t just carry on a nice conversation.

Ask if he’s trying to get you drunk

When a guy literally just met you, offered to get you a drink, and you say, “Are you trying to get me drunk?” he spends the rest of the night trying to prove that he’s not a sexual predator. And that’s not exactly how love is made.

Be super loud/dance on a table/steal the microphone

You’ll get attention if you try to be the rowdiest women at the bar, but you’ll also tell the men there that you’re having enough fun without them and they should leave you alone. How are they going to be more entertaining than the band that just let you sing with them for a half hour?

Yelling, “Shots!”

The first person to yell shots is usually just there to get wasted because they’re blowing off steam over something like a breakup or being fired. That’s not exactly prime time to meet the one.

Getting jealous right away

You’re having a great conversation with a guy, giggling and smiling, when another girl comes up to talk to him. You give her the death stare and when she walks away, say something rude about her. You basically just claimed a guy you met five minutes ago.

Rolling in big crews

Oh great, so the guy can be rejected not just by the woman he was approaching, but laughed at by all of her friends after he walks away.

Taking lots of photos

Men usually know that women who are taking lots of photos aren’t really into the moment/engaged in the setting. They’re just trying to prove to their social media friends that they have fun.

Bringing up your ex

The comment, “Oh no Pilsners? My a**hole ex drank those” might seem harmless when you barely know the guy. But now, he doesn’t want to get to know you.

Talking sh*t about other men there

You’re talking to a guy, when another guy bumps into you, and you list off all the things that are stupid and ugly about that guy. Now the guy you were talking to is terrified of you.

Saying, “I can buy my own drink”

He knows you can. He was trying to do something nice. Now he’s walking on eggshells to make sure he doesn’t offend your feminist sensitivities.

Opening with, “You’re hot.”

You think you’re being progressive or edgy by walking up to a guy and saying this, but how does it read when a guy does that to you? You think he’s a douche.

Stay at your table

There is a dynamic of servitude if a guy has to go over to your table to hit on you. If you reject him, it’s pretty obvious to everyone what just happened: you sent him away like he was an annoying solicitor.

Asking his friends about him

It’s not cute or funny when you turn to the friend of the guy you just met and ask, “Should I trust this one?” It makes you look controlling from the start.

Skipping the line

It doesn’t make you look cool when you convince the bouncer to let you skip the line: it makes you look like a princess.
