Likelihood of hooking up at a U2 concert?

[theu2fly]

Just a thought... has anyone ever had a one night stand meeting another fan @ a U2 concert?

Are you trying to figure out the odd to see how many tickets you need to buy?

I had a very cute Colombian girl get kinda flirty with me at the Chicago gig last year, but alas...

I'll let you know after I attend a Bay Area concert and meet this Sicilian chick.

The closest I've personally come was dancing a bit with a girl, getting her number only to have her get pissed at me and move on to another guy because I was more interested in the fact that they were playing an unbelievably awesome version of "In God's Country." Not to worry, though, she wasn't just some hot girl at the bar who came to drink and get picked up, she was a fan. She was legitimately pissed at my reaction and said "I could see if it was Bad or Out of Control, but don't ignore me for a mediocre song." I would consider not loving IGC as a deal breaker anyway, so its not like she broke my heart or anything.

Wait....that is a true story, but it happened at a bar in Boston a couple months back when I was seeing The Joshua Tree, a great local tribute band.

To answer the question in a serious way:

I am 23 so not the youngest U2 fan, but definitely on the younger side.

Even at Vertigo when I was 18, I noticed a lot of attractive girls my age, more so last year on 360. Seriously, it really made me happy to see that U2 was so popular among attractive college aged girls after seeing so many of them glom on and sing along to their DMB loving drunken frat boy boyfriends for 4 years.

If I am early 20s and can find a lot of possible candidates so to speak, then probably anyone who goes to see U2 on a regular basis could find pretty good pickings in their demographic.

I would say the biggest obstacle to this one night stand thing among us blue crackers would be this. Think about it- if you are going to get things to the point where the person is going back to your hotel room, house, car, what have you, that would require missing/not fully paying attention to a hell of a lot more of the show than any of us here would tolerate!!

Unless of course you meet someone in the GA line at 6AM and you are already good friends by the time it gets too loud to talk w/o leaving the immediate area of the show.

Your odds are sure as hell better on this tour with all of the stadium attendance records being set! You have 3 to 4 times the chances you had at any given arena in 2001 or 2005!!

Hell, if you meet the right person at the right time, anything could happen. And especially at a concert where people are all there to celebrate the same band. it will definitely make it easier to break the ice with a girl you meet there.

If you're looking for sluts, I think you'd be better off at a Motley Crue or Megadeath concert.

I concede, however, that you may not be looking for sluts.

If you are female, then don't worry -- we men are all sluts.

It's possible.

But if you end up getting married, it would be a shitty story to tell your kids.

"Mommy, Daddy, how did you guys meet?"

"Well, kids, we met at a U2 concert, but they didn't even play NLOTH!"

Hawk Jr., you slay me.

Now that was funny!!!!!

I've heard stories of people falling in love in the GA line and then getting married.

I call you all horndogs. You know -- you'll hump anything.

I guess your chances might be the best near the toilets around when they play Miss Sarajevo

 

[Danny Boy]

Your odds are inversely proportional to your standards.

Half the place seems to clear when they play that song.

Are you that desperate?

 

[coolian2]

Are you that desperate?

you just asked someone on the internet whether they're desperate for sex.

Point well taken.


Didn't you hook up with someone on the internet? A U2 forum no less?
