[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a single 40 something and do go to the bars but I have not gone by myself.  I usually go with one or two of my other single girlfriends but I gotta tell you - it's tough.  First, it's really hard to find bars that have guys in our age range - far and few between.  Secondly, if there are single guys our age out they are paying all of the attention to the younger girls!  I actually find that there are more men out at happy hours, especially in the Tysons area, but I have yet to make a love connection.  I was actually just saying today that it sucks being this age and single - it's really hard finding guys.  And I am not against someone younger than I am but they don't want someone my age - maybe for a hook-up bit that's it.

If you do decide to go to a bar by yourself, I'd go to happy hour on a weeknight first and see how it goes.  Go where there are a lot of businesses like Tysons.  And like some of the other's said, I wouldn't stay long, get to know the bartendars.

If any of your 40 something single men are reading this please tell us where you guys go! We want to meet you :)

I'm married, but let me try to think as a single guy for a minute.

The problem (as a guy) is that when you approach a group of girls, you end up having to de facto impress all three of them, or hope that one of them doesn't decide to get butthurt that she isn't getting approached. Guys, you've seen that before -- you're talking to one of a group, but one of her friends either gets all weepy drunk, angry drunk, decides to pull her away, etc. -- or something that means she has to choose between you and her friends. Or maybe it's just me 'cause I'm fat and ugly.
