Hey Cred Forums so I am 21 and I don't have a lot of friends. Lately I have been going to bars and restaurants alone but sometimes I get weird looks. Is it normal or at least acceptable for a man to dine alone?

Ahhh 21...to be that age again.I've been dining in restaurants alone since age 21 (I am 37 years old now). At 21 I was the intelligent, well dressed, mysterious guy that would always go to the same restaurant at 5pm on a Monday and order a scotch and the same meal (steak and mashed potatoes). I would always bring a copy of War and Peace by Tolstoy with me. Got to know my waitress, she would always smile at me and we flirted a bit. I asked her out but unbeknownst to me she had a boyfriend. Alas I tried and we became friends anyway. My point is, don't let losers tell you how to live your life. Go into that restaurant wearing a sharp outfit, bring your favorite book and order your favorite meal. You only have 1 life make the most of it!

No, it makes you look like a weirdo.

I think it is weird to go to restaurants by yourself, but going to places with bars is fine by yourself

Are you playing with your junk when they look at you?

Which one are you?

This person is insecure with themselves, probably has a small penis or a faggot. Chances are good it's both.
Eating alone is just fine.

> crappy job

> today is my birthday

I mean shit it’s kinda chill there’s nothing wrong with it.
I agree with this user, I’m a server/bartender and if a fucker comes in looking sharp and dining alone my first thought isn't “weirdo” it’s more like this guy’s a G and doesn’t need a crew. Being all polite and shit and just acting like a man is alpha as fuck.

If you walk in, order your food, eat and overall just act normal, nobody is really going to spare a second look at you.
You're not noteworthy, user. Get over yourself.

Ask people you know and most will tell you that eating by yourself in a restaurant is weird, whether make or female.

This, but not as harsh.
Just stop being self-conscious about eating alone, OP. It's probably making you act weird.

If you sit at a bar, it’s perfectly normal. If you sit at a table, it’s a bit cringey.

>acceptable for a man to dine alone?
depends on the place
coffee shops, diners, at the bar, absolutely
in a fine dining establishment, you better be a food critic. but you're not so you're a loser

bars and restaurants are horrible places to make a conecction

take a class or joing a group of something that interest you

don't be to eager, just play it cool and be patient

if you want to make smalltalk just talk about food
what you like, or talk about some amazing dish that you once ate on a trip. This will make them recall something similar, then you ca go on from there.
Talk about that trip, let them tell you about their experiences
as you learn more from them, you can find more topics to get closer

if doesn't work out, just be casual and don't force it

try it again with somebody else

desperation is a repelent

what’s wrong with your mother?
Aids?

>tfw a good chunk of these guys are actually better looking than you
Fuck.

It is weird if you are weird about it

maybe your are anxious about talking to somebody or who knows what

If you are confident and act cool, like it is not weird to dine alone, nobody will care

it is weird as long as you make it weird

She has a brain tumour and a lot of other stuff, she requires a lot of attention

is not like she is going to bake me cake or something, she just got me 2 t-shirts

don’t worry man, as long as you don’t have that fucking haircut you’ll do fiiiine.

Who gives a fuck if you get dirty looks, live how you want to live.

Fuck off. I'm sick of seeing so many of these on ,/b,/. Just fucking kill yourself

Cred Forums*
Stupid phone.

>better looking than you
Incel isn't about looks. There are plenty of ugly ass people out there hooking up, just go to walmart and see.
Incel is about not being attractive, but also about thinking an attractive woman is an object that you deserve and thus get resentful about.
you lose your incel status when you realize that you can have sex with a woman on your same level of attractiveness

No, but I've had a bald spot in the back of my head since I was about 25, so it's not like I'm better off.

Cred Forums is random, if you don't like this thread you can go and masturbate to a tranny thread

why there is a chink on a "white" incel graphic?

I agree

I have met ugly fuckers with hot gfs

they may be ugly but they have personality

Happy Birthday, user
several of those problems could be solved in the same time, if it works out that way. there's a path for you, I promise.

24 Here
Last few friends have kids or our schedules don't line up. single now.
I sometimes take myself out to a restaurant even if its a crappy local one (sometimes are better) dress nice, order my steak and some brew. Leave tip. Feels good knowing I didn't need a crew or group to go eat. I've noticed people respect that now. its almost an admirable thing , having the balls to not need to feel wanted

I knew a kid who looked like this in college and he was banging the hot RA

If you're ugly you're fucked, user.
Even if you get a hot gf there's a good possibility she'll soon be fucking someone else behind your back. You might make her laugh or have money to take her to nice places, but that doesn't mean she's attracted to you. Just a pity fuck every now and then to keep you around.

>restaurants
yeah thats fine. people need to eat. if you were on a business trip or holiday somewhere you wouldn't think twice about it.

>bars
a bit less common if you're spending an evening there. stopping in for a drink and sitting on your phone? normal. They're playing a sport on the screen you want to see? very normal.

going to a college bar, sitting in the corner and drinking by yourself while just looking at people for 5 hours? pretty fucking weird

Why are they all wearing glasses?

Totally normal. I travel for work and do it all the time. So do plenty of other people doing the same.
Dress smart, be confident and own the place. You’ll start meeting people before you know it.
Also stay off your phone. Read a book, magazine, or news on iPad.

Beta genes.

Further to this, I felt pretty self conscious first few times.
Bars I’m fine with. Eating felt a bit weird.

All good. People will just assume you're in town on business or something.
Just mix up your resturants coz if you go to the same one every week they'll think you're a weird, lonely guy.
Movies on the other hand....never go to a movie alone. Thats just sad.

or you just get an ugly/fat girl. problem solved.

Sure, but that user was talking about ugly guys with hot gfs, which at least from personal experience it's very rare to see and often it'll come out that she was fucking someone else anyway.

oh yeah that's my bad

It's fine bro just do it confidently.

thx user

I hope
tbh I've been lonely for years

I hope to get out of this funk some day
