> People who go to bars specifically just to "pick up" are creepy.

What does that mean?

That a lot of people go to bars to hang out with their friends, or especially hang out with their friends + meet some new friends of friends.

And it's kind of weird to just go to a bar, alone, and try and find other lonely people to fuck for a single night.

But hey, that's what some people are looking for.

you gotta love this idea that you're a creep if you're alone. Only show up if you already have friends. So if you have no friends there's no way to get any because you're a creep if you're alone

we need a new woke meme to shame people who shit on people who don't have friends

There’s a difference between going to a bar alone, and going alone with the sole intention to find a one-night-stand. It’s the latter people find creepy.

I'd argue this isn't weird but anthropologically speaking the norm. This being considered "weird" in and off itself is more like a very recent social development.
