This is sort of like a perpetual stop light party, right?

I've seen theme parties with this concept where you dress in the appropriate color... it effectively becomes an exercise in game theory because some people don't necessarily want to reveal the truth about their availability or their intentions! Especially as it might vary, depending on who's approaching...

Sigh! I need the "red" one alllll the time ;)

Hmmm. Whatever happened to good old human interaction? Cute, but somehow depressing at the same time...

Genius!

ah, makes life too easy. what about the element of mystery which makes the overture so much more risky and exciting.

Brilliant gimmick! I thought the Lance Armstrong wrist-band thing was played out. This would be marketable to young hipsters.

Haha - this one's great Gene. Sounds like you've been mulling over this idea for quite a while now.

What if you start the night out in red mode and after tequila shot # 6 you are in green mode?

Furthermore, you'll probably end up in a bar with all the guys wearing green and all the girls wearing red.

Superb idea in its simplicity Gene...

This idea reminds me of the local supermarket- they have a night where you go shopping, have bananas in your trolley and however they are sitting determines your status. Sucks if you don't know this when getting groceries.

Was just thinking this would be a great advertisment for a specific bar- they could have "cut the crap" night and issue wrisbands at the door.

I agree with the cynical people here, why not just have wholes bars dedicated to this if you're going this far? Have a "Wild Sex" bar, then a "Maybe Sex" bar, then a "No Sex" bar. Defeats the whole purpose, although it might be fun for a "cut the crap" night, as Arnold said.

Emerald, if I didn't detect the possible sarcasm then ignore this, but entire bars being dedicated to people's intentions would divide friends heading to bars together. Cut the crap night would be darn cool, though possibly leaving girls vulnerable to "that guy" that would follow them to their cab, knowing full well she wouldn't mind leaving the bar without her friends.

Yes, definitely an great idea. I'd like to see a bar try this around where I live. This bar would definitely stand out from the others, i.e. be a good idea from the competitive strategy point of view.

Who knows, maybe this would catch on like wildfire, as karaoke or reality tv have. In regards those two, who would've though that humiliating yourself publicly would become so popular. Considering that more and more people seem to have problems finding a mate at least there would be plenty of potential customers.

hey, what about a watch when set to a certain mode will alert you both when you walk past each other that you are both single and meet each others requirements.

eg. set your watch to tall, dark and handsome and he sets it to pretty, no kids and GSOH. and when you walk past each other it goes off, you start chatting and then 9 mths later !!!!!!!!!!!

Beer companies can try this. They supply 2 kinds of beer. Each with a label colour that says "Approachable" and "Not". Customers at bars can choose which one they want. Mind you Guys mostly choose Beer anyways.

what about a ring people can wear on the third finger of their left hand to tell people if they're married or engaged. Otherwise, they're fair game.
