American Bar scene

4. It's considered foolish but OK for a woman to go to bars/clubs alone, but very creepy for a man to do the same. Why? Just another double-standard we got on our hands. I read accounts on here about guys who almost got assaulted in the club's parking lot, just because they came to that club alone. Older men (30+) get some leeway in breaking this rule, for regular bars, but never for upscale clubs, due to being seen as wanting to get away from their wives, because American marriages are very wife-centric. Young men under 30 are expected to follow the "never come alone" rule to a T (enforced not by bouncers, but by other people in the venue).
Really? Here you'd just get ignored and there wouldn't really be much point doing it.

They just kind of do their own thing and leave you to your own devices (sometimes literally, if you have a cellphone).
