recently i've been going out with the fellas and every now and then we'd go to a bar, people are drunk some are tipsy and some are just there. Now being the type of guy i am, i'm going to approach a women sitting alone. Why not? More and more though i have noticed that a lot of fights and brawls get started this way. I guess what i'm saying is why bring your girlfriend to a bar or dance club when you know there are going to be guys there hitting on her and flirting with her? I'm just saying, if it were me i'd tell my girl to go have a girls' night out or something then i'd hit the town. That or expect drunk guys to try their luck with her.

I know. If you try and flirt with a drunk person, then you have to be drunk also. As it would be weird if your sober but their all drunk. Ha ha. I don't get women who try to start brawls. ohwell

I smell insecurity.None of this is a problem, unless she goes home with one of said guys.Why you think guys wouldn't hit on her while she was on a girls night out, I have no idea??? Why go to a bar....I'll tell you why.Because you want to.If you don't feel like you should go because trouble will insue, THEN DONT GO!!

The sad thng is the amount of STUPID reasons there are to start a bar fight! Geez, over whose game it is, over whose quarters are next, over the jukebox, over someone taking your drink... on and on and on... was a time, when you felt happy having a good looking mate with you for a drink.... I think as long as the person goes home with you, then be happy your mate is desireable enough to have other want him/her. Although... after a few cocktails, I have seen some people not be at all selective, lol expecially at closing! (I was a bartender on the week-ends).

I don't have a problem with my s/o going to the bar for a guys night. But to just hang out at the bar by himself would really tick me off. Not that I wouldn't trust him, but I don't trust other people there.
You're putting yourself in a situation that could cause problems. Even if you're not cheating, why put yourself in the position to where flirting could arise?
I just think that when someone is in a relationship they really don't need to be hanging out at bars and clubs alone or all the time. If you have a s/o, spend time with that person instead of going out and getting drunk alone.

There are all kinds of places to mingle aside from the bar scene.
Frozen food section, laundromat, Fast food joints, walkway of the mall,
at a red light. Just a few examples.

I giggle at the insecurities of some people in reference to relationships.

We like going to bars and clubs; we have never experienced one or the other of us getting hit on by rude people. I can’t even wrap my head around this situation.

I don’t have concrete ideas about inappropriate places to go with my boyfriend. He wouldn’t be my boyfriend otherwise, but thankfully he is not immature or insecure enough to get in a fight over “my honor” or his ego.

As far as going to bars or clubs without each other -- the same concept applies. We trust each other; we are secure with ourselves and neither of us “needs” attention from other people; we can easily go out with friends and have a good time without jealously issues. We prefer going with each other but we are not attached at the hip; we have lives and friendships in juxtaposition with our relationship.

If I met someone who had issues with his temper, and it prevented us from going certain places then I wouldn’t date a guy like that anyway.
