Thursday vs. Friday vs. Saturday

[BPH]

I've noticed some patterns, both pre and post-COVID, when it came to which nights out at bars and clubs are often the best. I want to post my observations and see if you guys have similar experiences or certain preferences as far as day, time, etc, when it comes to going out to meet women:

Thursday - Something of a hidden gem that I didn't discover until later in college. "Thirsty Thursday" was either a massive hit or a complete miss - there was no in-between. Certain less-popular bars would have pitcher nights on Thursdays and would draw the crowds that would go to the more-popular bars on Fridays and Saturdays. I recall one night in particular when I took a girl out for what I was expecting to be a low-key date night at a quiet bar on a Thursday, and instead, the crowd grew to typical weekend levels. Otherwise, generally, because most people work on Fridays, these seem to be above Saturdays but below Fridays in terms of fun factor and the quality of women that would be out.

Friday - The clear highlight of the weekend almost every time. My guess is that this is the case because everybody is getting off work, just got paid, wants to unwind, and is not yet hungover. When I go out to meet women I generally value Friday above any other day because I know this is when I will see the greatest amount of attractive women compared to any other day during the week or weekend.

Saturday - I'm not sure when I started noticing this trend, but Saturdays kinda suck...Saturday just takes everything about Friday and provides less of it: less attractive girls, girls in general, and places worth going. The only place I can think of where Saturday night is a better time out than Friday night is in West Chester, for some reason. This leads me to wonder whether this is a pretty standard phenomenon or whether this differs geographically. My best guess as to why Saturdays are so weak is because people are recovering from their Friday hangovers and have to motivate themselves to get prepared for a night out - people are relaxing, recovering, and sleeping in rather than looking for an escape from their work week which would be a natural segway on a Friday night.

Have you guys noticed similar trends, or are you having vastly different experiences? Since I'm back to recruiting my only real resources are my weekends and the dating apps, so I'm trying to make the most of my weekends and not having a great time so far. Wanted to see if some of the more active manwh*res on here have routines they follow when it comes to this kinda stuff. Maybe this is a @SW15 question.

From what I’ve seen in Nashville, I can agree with your assessment. Thursdays have a good handful of people out(prepping for the weekend) Friday is easily the highlight of the week, and while there are more people out on Saturdays, I’ve noticed Fridays are higher quality.

Off topic, but Sunday is for hitting up chicks on the apps after they've failed to score the D they wanted over thurs & the weekend

Nightlife as a whole has gotten worse since the practical end of the pandemic. I call the practical end of the pandemic mid-2022, which is when I noticed things mostly reverting to pre-pandemic conditions in terms of less indoor masking. Officially, the World Health Organization did not end the pandemic until May 2023.

Indoor masking ruined a lot of venues for at least 2 full years. Glad that's over.

Even prior to the pandemic starting in early 2020, nightlife venue approaching had been changing. I turned 21 in 2004, so I noticed a difference from 2004-2007 as compared to 2015-early 2020 and mid-2022 to present.

I'll give comments on the specific days.

Thursday - Something of a hidden gem that I didn't discover until later in college. "Thirsty Thursday" was either a massive hit or a complete miss - there was no in-between. Certain less-popular bars would have pitcher nights on Thursdays and would draw the crowds that would go to the more-popular bars on Fridays and Saturdays. I recall one night in particular when I took a girl out for what I was expecting to be a low-key date night at a quiet bar on a Thursday, and instead, the crowd grew to typical weekend levels. Otherwise, generally, because most people work on Fridays, these seem to be above Saturdays but below Fridays in terms of fun factor and the quality of women that would be out.

I started going out on Thursday nights early in my freshman year at age 18. This is prior to me being eligible to go to bars. At that point, I was going out to off campus parties in random apartment complexes then. That was the closest to nightlife venue game I could find.

Once I turned 21, I did do some Thursday night game in bars too.

Thursday is a solid night at bars for doing pickup. It's the sweet spot between venues with fewer people (Sunday - Wednesday night) and often overcrowded venues (Friday - Saturday nights).

I recommend Thursday nights if the right venues in a given city are selected. College bars are often good choices on Thursday nights. Bars that cater more towards the post college, working age crowd may be weaker because of the working the next day factor.

In the 2000s-2010s (and likely before this), Friday-Saturday nights developed the reputation as being the nights when every beta male John Paycheck is going to be at the bars on Friday/Saturday night trying to get lucky and annoying women with their bad approach/social skills. Because of this, women at bars would put their defense shields way up those nights. This still happens today, but some of this element has moved more to swipe apps and isn't going out as much anymore.

There are occasionally bars that can have a good Sunday-Wednesday night if they have the right specials/right promotion in place. There were more of these types of bars in the 2000s/first half of the 2010s. As nightlife as a whole has declined, this has declined.

There's now a segment of both sexes that would rather stay home and swipe on apps as compared to doing stuff in the real world. This has grown a lot since Tinder first launched in 2012. In 2006 for instance, online dating websites existed, but meeting people in the real world was still the priority for most people. Between 2006-2015, this gradually changed. First, dating websites got more and more accepted. However, the much bigger change was smartphones and the launch of smartphone swipe apps.

A woman who is out at a bar at Tuesday night at 10:30 PM is often quite motivated to meet men. Sunday-Wednesday nights are known as smaller but more motivated populations.

Thursday nights still have this in effect, but somewhat amplified because it is closer to the weekend.

Friday - The clear highlight of the weekend almost every time. My guess is that this is the case because everybody is getting off work, just got paid, wants to unwind, and is not yet hungover. When I go out to meet women I generally value Friday above any other day because I know this is when I will see the greatest amount of attractive women compared to any other day during the week or weekend.

I agree with this.

I've often felt more tired on Friday nights and not as motivated to go out. However, the best way to play the game on Friday nights as a man if feeling tired to take a short 2 hour nap after work, waking up around 9 PM and then getting ready to go out 10 PM + or later.

There are still plenty of John Paycheck trying to get laid out there on Friday nights because they are white collar workers who aren't working the next day. Some still stink up venues with bad game.

The "getting off work, wants to unwind, and is not yet hungover" effect is real on Friday nights.

I would recommend Friday nights for volume of women with some level of biatch shields being up.

Saturday - I'm not sure when I started noticing this trend, but Saturdays kinda suck...Saturday just takes everything about Friday and provides less of it: less attractive girls, girls in general, and places worth going. The only place I can think of where Saturday night is a better time out than Friday night is in West Chester, for some reason. This leads me to wonder whether this is a pretty standard phenomenon or whether this differs geographically. My best guess as to why Saturdays are so weak is because people are recovering from their Friday hangovers and have to motivate themselves to get prepared for a night out - people are relaxing, recovering, and sleeping in rather than looking for an escape from their work week which would be a natural segway on a Friday night.

This is often a real disappointment. I have noticed this night has gotten way worse as compared to 2004-2007 when I first started going out to bars. I think this is a valid observation but I'm not sure when this trend started.

On Saturday nights, I am often excited to go out and do approaches. This is especially true if I stayed in the previous night on Friday (has happened before due to exhaustion and not doing the 2 hour nap) AND if I didn't managed to do any daygame on a Saturday.

This weekend, I went out on a Saturday night to a venue that was a complete dud. I was displeased with that. Perhaps this is clouding my judgment right now as I write this on a Monday morning, but this has seemed to happen more frequently when I have gone out on Saturday nights.

Unlike @nicksaiz65 , I've not noticed more people out on Saturday nights vs. Friday nights in years. However, @nicksaiz65 has done more nightlife than I have since the practical end of the pandemic (mid-2022) than I have. The years where I did the most bar approaching were in the 2000s, but I have still done it at times in the 2010s and 2020s.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I generally prefer daygame (non-bar approaching) to nightgame and have since the early 2010s. However, daygame (non-bar approaching) has one big flaw compared to nightgame. It was mentioned in the video below.

The majority of women between ages 18-49 aren't seeking new penis at the moment they are approached in a non-bar setting.

This is less of an issue in nightlife venue game. People are going to bars because they are seeking new penis.

In any given city, there are certain bars that cater more towards creating a vibe good for individual one-on-one dates and certain bars that cater more towards approaching. In general, the approaching culture in bars is declining, even on Friday-Saturday nights.

Sunday-Wednesday nights are still the most common nights for earliest stage dates (1st and 2nd dates) to happen. It doesn't matter whether the date was arranged through a real life approach, swipe app, or through a social media DM.

I can even think of some bars that can be good options for real life approaching on Friday-Saturday nights but could be decent 1st/2nd date bars on Sunday-Wednesday. Thursday night can be a gray area with this.

Thursdays and Sundays work for me; sometimes Wednesdays for Latin Night. Fridays are for the boys or a plate, or if I’m tired from the workweek, I’ll just stay home. Saturdays are reserved for the main girl.

 

[Tilex]

I can 100% confirm that Thursday is the new Friday.
Pick any venue and you'll see women of all ages show up.
Grocery stores are the #1 spot in my opinion.
Everyone is stocking up for the weekend.

 

[BeExcellent]

Keep in mind that often Saturdays are date nights. So girls you might otherwise see out (say on a Friday) are likely on a date on Saturday.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

No because I don't frequent bars or clubs anymore

Are the people who go out on dates on Saturday nights actually open to new penis? One could make an argument that these are women in established couples.

1st/2nd dates aren't often on Saturday night. 3rd dates are more realistic for Saturday night. Beyond that, it's more of a quasi or actual couple.

I have always had sex within 3 dates.

Thursdays have always worked well for me.

Weekends give off a different vibe for plates.
