Going to bars alone in Australia to try meet girls?

Will it work going to bars alone here? Don’t feel like going to a bar here alone is common as somewhere like in the US.

I can count a handful of times I’ve seen guys alone at bars (when I’m with friends) and it seems lonely and no one talks to them.

Would it be better going to a CBD bar or like a local pokies hotel in the suburbs?

Any tips from Aus brahs?

My stats:
26yo
183cm/6ft
80kg/175lbs

When i was younger, i found that going to night clubs in australia was a waste of time unless you already had girls with you. The only way around this is if you're really cool and popular. People usually go out in their groups and if they meet someone, they meet someone. Sydney is a tough crowd in general. Super hard to make friends, etc.

Tell you what, maybe you go out alone once, see what happens and reassess whether it's something you wish to do again in the future.

Don't just listen to what I say, because I am an ethnic living in Aus, so it might be different for me if you're a white brah.

definitely not in sydney, people don't really go out here as is, by yourself? lol


hooking up with randoms isn't as common as in the US, you really need to be in a large social circle with guys and girls to have a lot of success


that is unless you have 10/10 looks, which i doubt


better chance in melbourne

Also OP, nightclubs and bars are usually for people that are super image focused and superficial. You're better off working on investing into your LMS than you are going around getting drunk.

I’m in Melbourne, but was just in Sydney for work the other week and went out with coworkers for drinks. It was Friday night but dead. They said not many people go out here anymore.

In Melbourne, more people out at bars here than Sydney but still everyone goes in groups.

Yeah social circle here is crucial, the thing is I’m not friends with a lot of guys. My only friends are older married women (30s/40s) with kids that don’t go out to bars. So I only go out with coworkers on occasion.

But when I did have a group of boys to go out with. It was still only people sticking to their group.

OP, are you looking to hook up or meet a girlfriend?

If your social media is popping it can easily work, since that's the social proof area covered. Girls will see your cool insta and assume you're a sikkunt. Otherwise, unless you're REALLY hot, it will be hard.

Looking for a relationship. I know bar isn’t the best place for that but also looking to just go out and have fun out of the house on weekends . Otherwise it’s just watch footy or movies on weekend nights.

The best advice that I can give you is to focus on being the best person that you can be and if you meet a girl you meet a girl.

If you're desperate and lonely, you'll fall for anything and then accept anything from that person just to not be alone, etc.

My experience has been that as soon as a girl sniffs out that you like her, she will see it as a weakness and move on from you.
