What men think about “clubbing”.

“Clubbing” (or going to a night club) is a popular way to meet other singles. I don’t think it is a good method to meet someone, but it is a popular method none-the-less. On any given weekend, you will find clubs full of young drunk singles participating in the most Neanderthal courtship traditions. Just as the men of the “Stone Age” clubbed women and took them back to their caves, you will find modern men clubbing (buying cocktails) for young women to take back to their caves (studio apartments with IKEA furniture). Although most singles say that they would never date someone they met at a club, their actions at the club seem contradictory.

“Very True WMT! I would never go to a club to meet men. I just go to dance!”

Oh, I’m sorry. Did I steal the words out of your mouth? Yes. I know. Girls love to dance. In fact, even some men love to dance. I like to dance. However, i think it’s rare that men say, “Let’s go dancing!“

So, what do men think about clubbing? You and your girlfriends may be there to dance and have a great time, but what about the men? What about that [creepy] guy at the bar holding a beer and watching the crowd? Is he there to dance and have a good time? Men go clubbing for different reasons than women. Knowing these differences might help you understand those confusing encounters at the bar.

1. Dancing is not the objective. Even for those men who enjoy dancing, I can guarantee that dancing is not their primary objective in the club. Men go clubbing to see hot girls, dance with hot girls, and to meet hot girls. Period. This is quite evident when you see the drunk-humpers on the dance floor. You know the guys I’m referring to. They nonchalantly slide behind you and commence to rub their junk on your trunk.
2. A drink is an invitation. A man buys you a drink. What does this mean in Man Talk? A drink is an extended invitation to converse with the man. If you accept the drink, he will take this to mean that you are interested in speaking with him. After buying you a drink, he might ask for your number or ask if you’d like to dance. Some men are retarded and crude, but most men do not think that buying you a cocktail is an invitation to sex. So, don’t treat them like it is. (BUT if the man is retarded and does think that, you can return the drink in his face.)
3. Pack Mentality! Women travel in herds and men travel in packs. Women are very wary when they enter a nightclub. They will band together and look out for each other (sometimes a bit excessively). However, men are quite aware of this protective herding. They travel in packs and duos to break down these defenses. Men will “Take one for the team!” What does this mean? They will act interested in other “Herd Members” to distract the defensive herd mentality so that one maverick alpha male can pursue. It might sound horrible, but remember point #1. Men aren’t clubbing to dance. The best way to combat this is to loosen up and let each woman make her own choices. Don’t be a “Cock Blocker”. If you try to “defend” your girl friend, you might end up with the “wingman” who isn’t really interested in you.

Clubbing is truly the Meat Market of singles dating (the alcohol and party drugs don’t help).
