When a guy walks into a pub alone, people look and think ...he's desperate...when he sits in a resaurant alone..people think his crazy...etc...etc...but when a woman does this it's a whole different response....why is that?

It's all about looking confident.

People also think that women look sad on their own. Personally, I don't care what others think.

Have to agree with you...don't you think that it's a shame that people look at singles in such a way....Maybe their lives are so boring they have nothing better to do?

I'm thinking that's exactly what it is.

I (male) walk into a pub alone have no problem, I might stand quiet at the bar or talk sh1t with the staff. Maybe I go to pubs where people still talk as opposed to bars where people go to be seen ?

Dining alone is a different matter, people assume that you are dining for pleasure but when you are working away from home you have little choice (other than fast food joint - oh my rapidly expanding waistline) and you do get sympathetic/saddo glances from the staff depending on their mood. I don't think this one is gender related though, my female collegues say they have similar resturant experiances but complain that they hate the male attention when they go into a pub alone.

mmm...know what you mean...murphys law...when you want a quiet drink, you never do...

lmao

i personally cannot walk into a bar on my own if i know there is nobody i know in there.... i guess im self conscious. i dunno.

I used to be like that, but now i dontmind somuch!! would stillmuch rather have company, or find company while im ther!! Im no good on my own

It can be easier for a man to walk into a pub or club alone. There are exceptions though! I live in a small town where most people will travel else where for a night out! So the local pubs are usually deserted! Theres no entertainment either Christmas eve last year i walked into my local at 8.30! there was 12 people in there and they all stopped and stared!!! Now i find that disconcerting!!! In this day and age i dont have a problem with ladies pubbing it alone!!! in fact i would probably be more inclined to say hello than try to break into a crowd?

Nearly everyone lacks confidence in one way or another it does depend on what you have experienced in the past? As with everything a happy medium has to be found!! or perhaps a buddie of either sex would be a help!!!!!
