There's an unfortunate phenomenon that happens at bars in my area. The closer it gets towards closing time (2 AM here) the worse the male to female ratio gets. At the beginning of the night, any time from 9 to 12, there is an abundance of girls around, but as soon as midnight rolls around the ratio becomes more man-intensive. It's a combination of groups of girls leaving and more guys arriving. It's as if there is a beacon activated at midnight that summons all the men in the area into the bar.
It seems that the best time to go to clubs/bars/whatever around here is from 10 to 12. With anything after 1 AM worthless unless you've already successfully opened before that time. If you haven't you've got a smaller pool of women and a lot of competition from guys, who've been drinking all night and have finally worked up the courage to approach thus inflating the girls' egos.
Does this phenomenon happen all over the U.S.? I've never been out to bars that are open until 4 or later. Does the man beacon activate later in those places?
I ask because as much as I like to open and close, I also like my sleep. I try to optimize my time by only staying out until 1 AM at the latest, if I haven't had any success that night. Any time in the bar after that is a waste concerning girls.
