met my xabf at a bar, it was karaoke night. When I was introduced to him, he said people called him stupid Carl - it was noisy in there, and actually he said scuba Carl... But should have listened to the freudian slip... At first, I went with him and did drink with him, but that hasn't been for over a yr. Now I pass those places up, unless I'm with a good gf or a relative (cousin, sister). Some bars have great food
I don't think all relationships started in a club or bar, turn out terrible, but the % or it is high. One of my best gf, was introduced by her sister (bil worked with him) to her fantastic husband, at a bar. But he didn't then (30 yrs or so) or now, frequent going to a bar.
But then if it was a lesson, to keep me out of those places, Lesson Learned!!!
