Is Going Out to Dinner Solo Strange?

[Stuck]

I'm surprised this thread has generated so much controversy. If you travel on business, or live somewhere that a lot of people travel for business, its pretty much commonplace. I usually opt for a sports bar, so I've got something to watch while I'm waiting for my food.

I think it would be a true accomplishment for a woman to go out and eat alone.

It would significantly alter he world view in a powerful and Earth shattering way. And all she would have to do is, well... eat alone.

This would make a good bet. Offer some chick $50 that she can't do it. If she refuses she looks completely insane and you can ridicule her to no end.

I do it quite a bit. Not sure what the big problem would be - unless it's like a romantic restaurant for couples. I don't have time to set stuff up with people - I'm hungry, I eat.

I like eating lunch alone so I can read the newspaper.

I do this all the time for lunch and on occasion for dinner. When you travel it doesn't feel weird at all. When not travelling, I will go for dinner alone usually before or after the busy time.

My interpretation of someone eating alone depends on what I see. Sometimes I think they are weird, othertimes I think they are very cool.

I do it all the time. It's never even occurred to me that it might be viewed as strange.

I eat at Chipotle usually solo.
