Out at the club

I was out at the Dirty Iguana over the weekend, and one of my male friends remarked that he was surprised to see so many guys there.

He was under the impression that clubs were mostly for women to go out dancing, and when women are out dancing, they don't want to be picked up by men. I told him that for the most part, women go to clubs go for the same reason as men: to meet and flirt with members of the opposite sex. (Oh, and to drink.) Why else would the Dirty Iguana have stripper-like poles on the bar? For women to impress their friends? I think not.

Sure, there are some nights when we want to go out and have a girls night, but that doesn't necessarily mean no guys at all. It usually means no guys with whom we hang out on a regular basis. It gives single ladies a chance to explore outside their circle and meet guys they wouldn't normally be hanging out with otherwise.

Ladies: Do you want men to approach you when you're out at the club, or would you rather just chill with your girlfriends?

Men: Do you feel that women are unapproachable in clubs?
