Am I Weird...?

To clarify the subject line:

My husband is out of town, and the few friends I have that care about hockey are busy tonight. There's a big important game on, and I'd rather not watch at home alone.

Is it weird if I go to a bar to watch the game and have a couple of beers by myself? I feel like this is different for men than for women.

    Not weird, but get ready to be hit on. Woman alone in a sports bar that means open game to many men

    That what she wants. She's looking for us to tell her it's okay.

    no its not bad or weird at all

    whats bad is men assuming women do things like exist in bars or do anything at all... just to be hit on

    What's weird is that you are asking the internet for permission to do what you want.

    I agree, what is odd is that you ask the people of the internet what is weird. Who defines your norms? Do what makes you happy :)

    I wanted to go to the bar to watch the basketball game the other day and my hubby was like no way you are going to a sports bar alone! hahaha. So maybe check with hubby, not saying you have to ask permission, but your post reminded me of last weekend when I said I was going alone.

    You could try skipping make up, putting the hair in a pony tail, chopping onions and not washing your hands afterwards, or with one blingy earring.

    And wear a hoodie and sag.

    Actually, if you can, put on your bf/hubby's clothes all together.

    That will help reduce the amount of hit-on you'll have to endure.

    You could also try coloring one tooth black with eyeliner.

    Eh, I wouldn't really say I'm asking for permission. I know I can go - but it's valuable to know for example that some men think that a woman alone in a sports bar is an invitation to get hit on.

    I understand your mind-set on this but as others have stated...you will be hit on.

    My hubby was thinking the same exact thing. He knew what was to come if I went alone!
