I've also learned from comments here that guys who say they go out and pick up women all the time are full of BS. It may be more common for younger men and women...just a guess.

May be a bit of a pre-screened group underlying this kind of comment, too. Young people, like in school, will sleep with someone prior to ever having a “real date.”

But, they are not true strangers. Being in the same school, hanging with the same crowd, even if they don’t know each other, they know the idea of the other.

I don't think that women like WonderWoman, NearDC, Cimaronna, Brneyedangel and I are saying that looks don't matter at all. (There have been endless threads here on that topic...) I think we are saying that our looks matter, to some degree, to us, and not for the sake of competing with other women.

Actually, the five of us would make a good gang of girlfriends! Meet me in Vancouver for a night on the town, girls?
A night one the town in Vancouver sounds awesome! Sign me up!

Spent the last 10 days flying around the country with an Aussie who bought an airplane from me. We spent a very long night in New Orleans and the Aussie asked me if women in the US leave the hotel dressed in various degrees of sexy with the hope of some wild passionate sex. I didn't know the answer to that. Told him my guess is women get dressed up to go party in the French Quarter or even when their home simply to be flirted with, have a guy buy them drinks or want guys to dance\talk to them. I guess women who go out as a group could just dress to impress each other. I've heard that before but it's usually in the context of older women. Of course unless a guy is married or in a serious relationship, most guys have the goal of going out to party to meet a woman for wild passionate sex.

What is on the mind of women when they go out for an evening of drinking\dancing\fun? Am I right? From a guy's perspective if I didn't want to meet a woman or whatever when I go out for the evening I'd just put on something comfortable, wear a ball cap, not shower and shave, etc., yet women always get cleaned up, wear makeup, dress sexy, etc.
Believe it or not, there are women who like to look nice because it's nice to look nice. For themselves. If you notice, good for you.

I don't know where men got the idea that women dress to impress other women. That's an alien, bizarre, and half-crazy thought to me. Unless these women are going to provide me with a wardrobe, they have no stake in what I put on when I go out.

Oh, and I go out to dance for the purpose of going out to dance, because dancing in my pajamas in my bedroom? Not as much fun as dancing at a nice club in the middle of the floor with my friends.

In the French Quarters it's all about self-expression. New York and Paris has it's runways. New Orleans has it's French Quarters as a fashionshow. And there is a certain amount of competition to one-up other people. But since it's such a popular place and cluttered with bars, man people go there to get picked up.

This is a little off topic but I started it so what the heck.

Had an interesting visit with a friend of mine about this last night. He has been happily married for years and it's hard to believe he did or could "pick up" women at a club. Nevertheless, he said there were times he could feel this overwhelming chemistry with a woman and felt like taking her right then and there but the more she talked about herself the less interested he was in even something casual. A woman would say she has three kids...one in trouble with law, bad credit because of her second husband, she was molested as a child, etc. If the woman kept the conversation light and fun and let the chemistry flow everything would be fine.

So, the less he knew about a woman the better the sex would be. I rarely go out and if I do it's usually with a customer or family but if I do talk to a woman I feel chemistry with they want to know hopes, dreams and all that. I've felt the same way as my friend though. Generally, the more a woman talks the less interested I am and I'll usually just walk away. Maybe it's because I'm older and have to accept that every woman has a history...bad things and good. I have coasted through life and haven't really made bad decisions that haunt me...each day is like a high school kid on summer vacation.
