It's awful when people are more comfortable texting than talking. Talking face to face is still an important skill to have. But I guess this is the social media generation, so they haven't learned to harness that social skill.

I have wondered the same thing. Certainly single women never go to them anymore, apparently everyone meets on tinder which doesn’t appeal to me.

Great question...!! Actually it would be a great new business idea 💡.. To open a cafe, coffee shop, bar, etc.. Where cell phones were not allowed. In fact patrons would get a free temp key & locker upon entering where they could safely store their phones; and when they were ready to depart they could retrieve their phones.. That would actually be an interesting social experiment as well!

That’s why i like the hole in the wall kind of bars. It’s a whole different scene

This is were I live though.. the holes in the wall.

Me and the regulars are cool, but there are always new people.

Bars have definitely changed. Boring people actually come to bars now.
Who would talk to people in real life? 😳 Is that even a thing these days?

Appearently not...
@antoniotomato I'm so guilty of this though. I'm a bit antisocial with the people around me. I don't want to talk about God or the confederate flag or their boyfriends that is in prison 😂 i

Yeah I guess u have a point... people these days only talk about what they want....
Places like this.
@antoniotomato just think what it is going to be like when the 10 year olds now are the age you are now. It gets weirder every day.

Ur a wise man sir.... hopefully my generation will have their heads outta their asses by that time...
@antoniotomato people will always seek out the things most likely to ensnare them.

@antoniotomato lol i talk to a lot of people at university, but that's obvious. i don't really speak to people anywhere else though. except here. this is talking. we're talking right now.

I mean, I'm not saying you're wrong... but having a conversation irl has a certain quality that can't r replicated online.

@antoniotomato I'm aware.
