Going to happy hour alone as a female

Hi. I recently moved to NYC. All my friends here are married. As a single woman in NYC (no online dating pls) I want to check out local bars during happy hour, if I get to leave that early that is LoL.

Any thoughts on meeting new people at Happy hour? Is it weird to go alone as a girl? I would love to bring a wingwoman but i got none…

Curious if you guys have any thoughts on this or have any cool tips? Thanks much

May be and may be not. He is probably lurking until he finds out the age.  If OP is 18-21, he is going to volunteer to be her new friend.

Going alone is only as weird as you make it out to be. If I were to strike up a conversation with someone who was happily there alone b/c they happen to enjoy the bar/drink or whatever and wanted to just decompress after work, I wouldn't see anything wrong with that. Better yet, if you just like exploring different bars and such regularly, it's even more normal. Now if the person clearly shows they're self-conscious about being there alone, then it manifests itself

Quantity over quality…😕

Huh?

Its definitely not weird to go out alone but as a women you have no reason to go out to happy hours to specifically meet men unless you enjoy happy hours.

Just subtly show interest in the attractive men that you encounter in your every day life and if their worth their salt they'll pick up on it and ask you out.
