For guys who are totally blind and under 30, what are your strategies for meeting new people in bars when you don't know anyone initially? The usual method seems to be that you look around and find someone who isn't in a group, make eye contact to show interest, walk over, and comment on something (what they're having to drink, what they're wearing, the game on tv, etc.). Being totally blind you miss out on all the visual cues and conversation starters, so what are your methods for overcoming this deficit?

Disclaimer" I am not responceible if what I say gets you slapped, or doesn't work. There are no garentees, and you do not get your money back. With that said, I use to sit at the bar. It is the most crowded place in the bar. People pass by and bump you all the time. It was easier to make conversation when you knew what it was they were drinking. Also I became friends with the tenders so they could point out people for me. Lastly, I only went to bars which played live music. I became friends with the muso's, and they would shout me when they were singing, or between sets. This sort of got me an in with strangers. don't be afraid to buy drinks for strangers males or females. Friends are friends at the end of the day regardless of sex. Talk to everyone and anyone, they could make for useful contacts. Finally, if your trying to pick up women in the bar, remember, this is where you met them. They will not change if that is what they like to do for fun. That's all I have to say.,

Sit alone at a table and someone will come to talk to you. Granted they maybe huge wales but it works, I was at a bar known for it's sluttyness with 4 girls, they all went to the bathroom, with in three minutes I was dancing with some randum chick. Unfortionately she made jenny look like mrs. America.

All you need is a sense of humour, sharp charming Irish wit, and an engaging smile and they'll be fighting over you.They'll be no need for you to pour cheap drink down their throats, like your man there.

Roman away to the bars and tell the girls they want you and not the alcoholic sluts who take what you can afford

Quit rambling on like an incoherent idiot and maybe I'll pay attention to you.
