Looking for mr. goodbar?

[Tina]

Older, pop culture phrase referencing the 1977 film of the same name starring Diane Keaton. Used to describe a (still) all too common cultural phenomenon and stereotype, whereupon entering a local watering hole, one spots a noticeably middle aging female who, without asking her, one can already [glean] the following details :

shes endlessly looking for a new job or career;

shes incessantly looking for a [new romantic] partner (or the next good lay she can drum up);

shes constantly looking for the next place to live (in the immediate vicinity or ANYWHERE for that matter);

shes perpetually looking for that next big thing she cant name or describe (and obviously hasnt found yet and, like a character out of a Fitzgerald or Richard Yates novel, probably never will - where ARE all those [golden people] in that golden place ?);

in a phrase, shes a female sad bastard. Shes looking for [mr. goodbar].

@tina I think the main goodbar reference is the slang for penis and she does make it clear that she does not want a relationship at all but she does want sex. The other references to candy is used to lead up to the truth. She steals away for sex like she steals the candy bar at the drop of a hat with no forethought. We hope that the character would fall in love and stop being promiscuous but she made up her mind a long time ago and she just has the one desire for penis aka goodbar.
