On this side of the pond, two women walking into a bar together are not
always looking for a guy to chat one of them up. I can offer two
reasons, neither of which have anything to do with the guy:

They go to a bar to drink without a GUY picking them up.
They go to a bar to drink and dance without picking up anyone.

In either case, in their own minds it was obvious that they didn't want
a guy to talk to and so it was giggle-worthy. Conceited of them, probably.

If you want to chat with someone at a bar that is frequented by women
(as in more than one), find the one who is driving the rest home after
everyone else gets wasted. If a group wanders in, pick out the
designated driver and just talk. Try a joke at a drunken friend of your
owns expense, just so you don't accidentally insult her best friend.
