I know but they’re not going to hound you out of the bar, at worst they’ll say something mean and the interaction will be over. Also, become more attractive. Getting fit, dressing better and getting better posture or more confidence are available to most everyone healthy.
I don't think you understand. The problem isn't being hounded out of the bar, the problem starts with not being in the bar in the first place. Why go there if all you're going to face is rejection or worse? It's not exactly an exciting place to be and it saps your money. It's easier and safer to stay home, watch porn, and play video games.
Seemingly unending streams of rejection is what dating looks like for everyone. Bars are as boring as cafés. The people you’re with are what they’re for. They make it exciting. If someone prefers to stay home, watch porn and play video games that’s a choice, not a problem.
It might become a problem when a large amount of young men do it. People not invested in society care much less and its future.
