Why bother starting a conversation if it is all about small talk?
You’re right! I always feel awkward around niggers, honkeys, and money hungry Jews!!! But thanks to Micah, I realize a “shot” is all it takes! Thanks asshole!
I’m agree, when we go out to get fun, we never want to talk about religion or politic’s things, we just want to relax. We just have to be friendly but not too much and get a good time with the people.
I think tha information provided by MIchael is valed for most who occopies on performes in this kind of work but I suggest that these workers should be prepared in some other topics and are associeted whit popular culture come being very careful in dealing wiht issues that are controversial such as religion, discrimination, war and abortion, as costumers from the effects of alcohol can lose
their sanity and become a client problems.
The tips of Michael are very good for a person that want to obtain new friends at a bar…
I prefer go with other person not alone at a bar or club…
I agree with Michael. When you meet for first to another person or you want to meet another person is important be friendly and in that case you can talk about sport or sometimes you can buy drinks for the other person and start a small conversation but is important you feeling comfortable and then you can ask her or him ¿where are you from? ¿what are you doing? but you never talk about religion and politics because the people always have different opinions.
Michael has reason, when people visit bars its to have a good time!!! And its important to be friendly with everybody and to talk about funny topics with your friends, like music, movies, family , something that can feel you relax. You dont have to drink too much because its disappointing for anyone to care of drunk people and that can cause problems. Its better to have fun in a healthy way.
I agree with Michel, is important don’t talk about religion or political topics, is better to talk about the sports, fashion, food, music….to be nice and to be yourself.
for me is not important becosue I don´t visit that places but sound good you can act by your self and be sincer don´t need to do thing extraordinaries for capture the atention only be yourself
they are simple and good councils.
I guess that when someone go to the bar is to have a good time and to forget the routine ,so is important to talk , if you want to talk about something that make you relax.
when you visit a bar is very important to be very cautious when he/she talking about issues that can cause conflicts and you have stay neutral or just listening the opinion of others to avoid problems.
I believe that when having a conversation with someone, you have to be a little funny and dynamic, especially with a serious woman, because words work bored and do not call attention to it and you can avoid.
Well, I agree, people who go to a bar is because they want to relax and forget the rutine, it´s important to talk about the things that can feel us confortable, and don´t talk about polemical topics that can be the end of the conversation because each one have differents opionion and we have to respect them.
I think when you visited some bar you want relax and don´t want listen about religion, politician and other polemic topics, you want see other people, speak with your friends about womens, sports and other relax topics…..
I agree with him. I would rather to talk about women, or another topic instead talking about religion or politic, talking about that could be a little unconfortable for some people, and maybe that can provocate the end of a conversation.
It is a good idea when you go to a bar, talk about things like, sports, woman, more if you have drank many beers. It is recomendable not to talk about controversial topics like religion and policy, because I think if you go to a bar is because you want to feel relaxed.
I agree, don’t talk about politic and religion could be unconfortable for some people, could have different opinions
I don´t know if it is good or bad, but I am not used to go to Bars, and If I had the oportunity for going to a one, I probably use Michael´s advices. I’m totally agree with Michael because nobody wants to talk about policy and religion, mainly in our situation.
I totally agree, I think that the people that talk at a bar maybe need to be listened more than listen to the bartender opinion. They need to feel relax . The bartender need to have big ears and small mouth.
well i think you always try to avoid speaking about political or religion but I Believe that you have to be yourself
