Every time I go to a meetup happy hour, it seems like most of the time a lot of guys are there just to hit on the women, even though I feel like in the whole history of meetup happy hours maybe 0.1% of women hook up with a guy afterwards. At least 5 guys are trying to get with a woman at a time. Are these representative of all happy hours? I'm just looking for an event to chill and drink away my sorrows

Try one that's more specialized... Industry networking happy hour or see if you can find one tats a crossover with a happy hour & a hobby you are interested in. They tend to be less of a meat market.

I'll probably try a different one. I go to a tech meetup because it's relaxing to discuss different technologies for me while drinking, but once a reasonably attractive woman enters the room, all these tech dudes go crazy. I understand it, but I'm just not in the mood for the competitive atmosphere. Plus since I am not good with women, I just try to avoid that whole scene.

Do you mean a group of strangers?

We do HH here a lot but it's usually among friends and coworkers.

Yeah strangers. Most of my close friends are married so I'm usually on my own.

I just came from one with 2 gay guys and 2 other girls, one of which I knew, so nothing was jumping off, but it was still fun. They had to be at work at 6am so we called it a night.

I'm usually at work by 5 and leaving work at 4pm lately.

But when I get home my body is usually completely spent and I'm in bed by like 7.

Just drink at home. Cheaper, and you don't get arrested for destroying the bathroom.

That's the whole point of a happy hour, that's why people get dressed up and put on the smell good. What else are you supposed to do at a happy hour?
