    The Four Types Of Men You Meet At A Bar

    0302-Bar_da.jpgWith Zach and Adam before hitting up the Pickle Barrel, where I got pickled.Could you hand me the ibuprofen? Because I am seriously sore in weird places (e.g. my hip flexors, you perverts) after a weekend of snowboarding in Vermont. I had an awesome time - the scenery was unreal, I made significant progress on my technique and - most importantly - I got to spend a lot of quality time with some of my closest friends. I've never done a ski vacation and was surprised at how much partying goes down. On Saturday night we went to a bar called the Pickle Barrel that was as crazy as the liveliest club in NYC. Pretty much everyone was looking for a late-nite hot tub buddy and weren't shy about it. At one point I took a break from the action to observe my male brethren in action. I was watching a pack of unfortunately-attired muscleheads pounce on a pack of unsuspecting ski bunnies when it hit me like a brick of Cabot cheddar - all guys fall into four categories when it comes to picking up women:

    Kamikaze Guy - He lives by the One-In-Ten Rule: if I hit on ten women, odds are at least one of them is on the rebound, depressed about her best friend's surprise engagement or simply looking to make a mistake. I'm too scared of rejection to be this guy, but I respect his tenacity.

    Do you know the 7 things men say when they're just…about…to…

    Sneaky Guy - He's hitting on you but doesn't want you to know it. Instead of asking for your name or inviting you to dance, he'll complain about how long the bartender is taking and hope you'll take the bait. I pull this move on occasion, but usually if I'm interested I'll just introduce myself.

    Passive Guy - He's either shy or confident that he's so damn sexy you'll hit on him. Sometimes this guy is me - on account of shyness, not self-confidence - but after a few drinks I become more assertive. Check out these 8 tips to get him to notice you in 10 days!

    Scavenger Guy - He opens up shop right around closing time, preying on girls who have had a little (or a lot) too much to drink. These guys suck.

    Am I missing a type? Do you have a good story about any of these guys?

      people just need to go out and have a good time. I believe that you should not go out to a bar with the intention of meeting your future soulmate. In doing this you are just setting yourself up for disappointment when you see some greasy drunk person hit on you. Go and have fun guys and wait for love to come to you. STOP chasing love or else it is never going to work out for you.

      Lately, new at this, but it is not a nice atmosphere for romance with everyone grinding on one another. Get a room and leave the dance floor to the dancers. Tired of seeing the floor full of girls dancing and holding their drinks and the guys looking dumb and wasted. Not appealing to me at all!

      I don't really understand why people think bars are the best places to meet someone. In most cases, people who frequent these establishments are only looking for short-term pleasures, not long-term committments. You are much better off checking out the guy at the gym, at church, even at work or the cute son/daughter of your grandma's best friend. Talking to someone when they are COMPLETELY sober will give you the best opportunity to find out what they are really like--and if they really like you.

      The Predator: This is the guy who stands along the border of the dance floor scoping out his prey. The action begins when he's found the one he thirsts for. He creepily approaches her outside her line of peripheral vision and awkwardly starts dancing behind her. Some are more aggressive and will immediately put their hands on the girl's waist and not hesitate to grind himself against her. Others awkwardly dance behind the girl hoping that she will decide to dance with him when she notices him or when she is accidently bumped into him. Crowded dance floors are the best hunting fields for these types of guys.

      Most guys at the bar are loosers but then I go to the bar and I am not a looser , and then some of them are not either. You have to be real carefull about who you choose. Just be carefull because not all of them are. some are just bored and go there to socialize because they are shy and do not know where else to go to meet women.

      i haven't beem out or on a date in so long i wouldn't know if a guy told me what he was doing. i still would not leave with any of them.
    • Shuanni  •  3 years 2 months ago
      Yes you forgot about the Stragaler . the guy who stragles behind his more attractive buddy to pick up the friend of the girl his buddy hits on.This guy is the lazy guy the friend breaks the ice introduces both of them and easily picks up the friend because she doesn't want to be left out...Lazy yes but his function is crucial to the dating scene he keeps the unoccupied friend busy while is friend chats up on his pick..

      Doesn't matter what I do or where I go, I usually get shot down all the same. It's my fault though, I over think everything, and I end up destroying chances before they happen, whether I'm being approached or doing the approaching. I'm told a few beers might loosen me up enough, but I don't care to drink. Oh well.

      The key is fitting into every one of those categories except the last. My hand is more fun than an inebriated woman.

      Try the casually/quietly checking you out at the grocery store guy. He's gonna make you bite your lip.

      I've heard some of these lines from these guys. The ones I met introduced themselves. But I've run into some sneaky ones too, and pretty soon I could read the entire bar and tell you who was who. When girlfriends would ask me about a particular guy at a particular place, I could tell them exactly what and who they were dealing with. Great post!!!
    • wodburner  •  3 years 2 months ago
      Your definately missed 2 the "fisherman aka ladies man" the guy that confindently makes small talk w/ all the hotties just to let them know he's there. This type guy is usually the most successful out of any guy because he is there to have fun and relax not get wasted and be a "hunter" (hunters are the ones that go to the bar only to get laid, they hunt the *unt!) One more would be the fighter, if he's not getting action he creating an action scene from Roadhouse w/ a bar fight.... these guys have the biggest issues!
    • susannah  •  3 years 2 months ago
      Yes I know guys at the bar are there only there to see who they can pick up and take home . I would never just go home with a guy I don't even know and or know anything about him.

      I once purchased a girl a drink at the bar and walked away because I just needed that drink to hit the tab minimum to close it out, and I didn't want her to feel obligated to talk to me. I work hard (almost 7 days week) so I play hard! The bar is an excellent place to network and meet new people in a Lounge type of setting.

      Stop all the stereotype lady and gentlemen... Bar is the same as everywhere else. There are the good, bad, and Evil... And if anyone know where guy can meet nice girls that want to go out dinning and dancing in Los Angeles please let us know.... I know is not at the bar, or club... not at work... can walk to stranger at the mall and ask them to go out...

      agreed some men who are at bars daily don't have a life...
    • Darren  •  3 years 2 months ago
      What about the 'Funny/Comedian Guy?' Y'know the one who comes into the place and can make anyone laugh (with him, not at him), most women like you if you can make them laugh, and it helps break the ice and make people comfortable

      how bout the hover guy(also the guy who fears rejection). he thinks he's cool, so he gets close enough 2 the unsuspecting party, but feels it is their loss 2 pass up on him. this way he can go home alone n tell himself that it was their loss 2 not acknowledge his "mystique & aloofness"
