The problem isn't that they are going out to get laid, the problem
is that they are ASS-U-MEing that everyone else is also out to
get laid.  Can you say "egocentric"?  Good!

People go to bars for a variety of reasons.  Some go to drink. (Hopefully
these people are taking the bus/cab/etc back home)  Some go to dance.
Some go to play videogames.  Some go to meet people (in general).  Some
are looking for an SO.  Some are looking for a one-night-stand.  Some
are out-of-town with nothing better to do.  Some just tagged along when
the rest of the volleyball team went.  Some go to see the band.  Some go
to 'scope-out the crowd. (people watch)  Some go to sit in front of the
projection TV and laugh at the Cubs.  And so on...

Anyone going to a bar and ASS-U-MEing that anyone else there is there
for anything resembling the same reasons is highly likely to be
dissappointed.
