So if you say that a friend dragged you to the game because they had an extra ticket, bam! You're at the game, you're reluctant to be there, you're going to cause a bit of ire in the guy, and that's memorable.

Responses:

I have been dragged to many a game. that is also not the point. The point is, I can meet generic "guys" anywhere. - loosilu Oct 14, 11:48 12
- and your current efficiency is...? -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 11:58 2
  - currently I am actively not looking. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:58 1
    - Oh, OK, I'll stop wasting my breath then. Move along. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:59
- But I just said that it's a fallacy to equate similarity with compatibility -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:54 6
  - I don't know what compatibility is for me. (truth). Similarity at least gives something to talk about besides the weather. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:55 5
    - I get that it's a comfort zone thing. But the strategy should be to get them to talk, and for you to listen. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 11:57 1
      - no, that IS my comfort zone. I want something else. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:58
    - Doesn't the baseball game thing usually come up when you're complaining about not knowing where to find men? - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:56 2
      - I can and do meet generic men at all of those places. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:57 1
        
        What I need (if I were looking) is a filter. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 12:01
- There are drinks there, fresh air, better lighting than a bar, ample time for conversation... -- nm - Vermintown Oct 14, 11:51 1
  - also true at multiple other places. -- nm - loosilu Oct 14, 11:51
