You're brave! I think I'd need a confidence boost (or at least a few drinks!) before I went on my own.... perhaps I'm missing out! Wink


I have no problems with going places on my own. If I want to go out for a drink, i'll go out on my own. If I want to watch the football, i'll watch it on my own.

There's always at least one idiot that insists that women know nothing about football, and tries to explain the offside rule to me. I end up correcting them or telling them to shut up because i'm trying to watch the game..


Years ago women walking in a pub and drinking on her own was frowned upon, and it was thought they were only after one thing. Now there's not such a stigma and women can walk in most pubs reasonably unnoticed, which is good. Except most men keep an eye open for a pretty girl of course.

Women liking football is a fairly new thing..which is a shame.

All throughout the 70's and 80's my mum did the same as me - She was a trent-end girl. She went to the pub before games, then went to the game, then spent the rest of the day in the pub talking football with guys.

Like mother like daughter Wink

Over the last 10-15 years women have been more comfortable going in pubs on their own, maybe your mum was one of the pioneers. But even now I know a lot of women that would not walk into a pub [especially a strange one] in the evening, on their own.

I wold walk into a pub on my own if I knew I was meeting someone there, even if I was early - I always make sure I have something to read.

I would not walk into a pub on my own and sit alone for the evneing. Would rather stay in....... believe it or not I am far to shy to do that!

None of my female friends will go into a pub/bar on their own. Saying that, some of my male friends won't, either.

I know exactly what you mean.

But if you've already made the first step by sitting there waiting for somebody alone..why not stay there all night? It isn't any different, really.
