I agree with you brother, I dont understand the club scene either. I can drink at home for ALOT less money then going there, and if I really wanted to get punched in the face for talking to someone wrong, I could just call the giant, and tell him Im sleeping with his wife. That would certainly warrant a face smashin me thinks

Win.
Although I do agree with OP - I went to the club a little while ago for the first time in several years. I got tired of dancing real quick, and asked the DJ if his CD was skipping. I don't think I'll go back in this lifetime.
My hearing got busted open to the point where I could swear every song was being sung by the same artist.
And idiots who were far more drunk than I was kept staggering into me, I'd give 'em a firm shove to send 'em back but nope, a few seconds later they'd be falling onto me again and I'd be restraining myself from giving them a pounding for allowing themselves to embarrass the human race in such a way.
Though, I can hardly talk, usually I get pretty drunk and end up trying to hit on women way out of my league... this time, like the last few, I just had a few and behaved perfectly well... making the experience a little boring as at least if you're foolish you can joke about it the next day
Some people love it, I can hardly stand bars though. I don't like dancing very much, and 9/10 chicks just want free drinks. If you are good with women and have money to spend, it isn't actually that hard to get laid. Most of the chicks that are open to that kind of thing, are pretty damn skanky, IMHO. It gets creepy when you don't have to say anything... makes you wonder what the hell is going through their heads.
House parties are usually much more enjoyable, especially when you know someone with a nice place. BBQs, Dominoes, live music, all on the cheap. Warehouses usually have the best parties, co-ops/dorms/frats... not so much.
Hence why I'm waiting for the second year of University
To be honest, exams have finished and we've got a few weeks left until our rent runs out in our dorms, so it's club-night most nights... This was my first time in about a month.
I quit clubbing pretty early in my drinking life, I have a bad drunken habit of hitting on women with guys a lot bigger than myself, in front of the guy. Yet, I still have all my teeth!
I did it because I enjoyed dancing, drinking and girls in leather corsets. Not ness. in that order. It also helped that the clubs I went to had an open bar for the first two hours.

Don't club, go to shows! You get much more interaction with people/women and you know that you're at least interested in something similar. Plus the music will be better!
Go with a group of friends. Don't go after the hottest chick in the group, avoid chicks dancing with other chicks. Either they don't like men or crave attention. Learn to dance, One good dance move will win you the game. Learn to make eye contact. Work on your sexy smile. In a club you have to say alot with looks and your face. Make yourself, seem like the stud of the herd. "When you get done dancing with these scrubs, come deal with a real man." Be a go getter and not a wall fly." If all else fails pick up the old drunk chick after the club closes.
And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole

When a woman meets a man who 'loves a good show tune!' then she usually expect him to criticise her clothing and likely 'walks with a light step'...
To OP, clubbing and I don't get on any more. Me consuming booze then being placed in a confined space with sweaty and annoying people bumping into me and being in that radius of space I like around me of about a foot means I usually end up leaving as my mood gets nasty.
Also, since they banned smoking in pubs and clubs, clubs all bloody stink now of sweat and wee.
I used to club every Friday night, was a semi regular at Ministry of Sound when I lived in the UK.
never got into the 'skip on the spot to repetative music' scene, but had fun nonetheless.
Watch 'The Inbetweeners' episode where they go clubbing. It will teach you alot of what not to do.

What? People on a nerd forum are complaining about not getting laid? Color me shocked!
I kid, I kid.
I'm 19 so I'm not going to pretend like I know as much about clubbing and alchohol as most of my generation claims to. That said, I occasionally go to an 18+ club, though they are few and far between. I have to agree with the general sentiment. Except for different reasons. Girls this age will dress and act all skanky but when it comes down to it they're pretty much all scared little girls who, for all their talk wont go through with any of the things one supposedly goes to a club for.

If you want to get laid, and I must stress this is particularly the case if you are a heterosexual, go to a gay bar.
The fact is that many women get tired of the meat market at most clubs and want to go somewhere that they can at least dance in proximity to hot oiled-up go-go boys.
As a consequence they will be drunk, horny, and willing to do anything that isn't brushing them off so it can make out with other dudes.
Hmmm, I last frequented a club in 1998. Never again. If I want to share a similar experience, I will buy some cheap lager, water it down, charge myself £5 a pint for it, turn the bass up and stick my head in a speaker and shout incomprehensibly at the Mrs.

Are you alluding to young gentlemen with a strong interest in the musical theatre?

This wins this tread hands down! +1 webzs for you. But yes I agree with you, last time I went to a club was a year ago, NEVER again I say
Plus if you're on the pull, by the time you've done the pre-club warm up in the Pub, you best watch how much more you drink lest you find yourself unable to rise to the occasion.
Very occasional thing for me clubbing, but I always seem to get positive attention from the ladies, even if I'm too deep in my cups to seal the deal and take one of them home!
Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
clubbing: paying good money to go to a room that is too small with too many people, too many dudes, too hot, too sweaty, long lines for the bar and bathroom, all to spend even more money on overpriced drinks and stand around and wait for a seat to open up so you can sit with your friends and scream at each other over the loud horrible music about cool movies you have seen lately because you are all not interested in starting a fight because you talked to some wannabe gangster's or guido's girlfriend......
I would rather go to an old man bar where they play jazz and I can drink gin in fething peace.....thats where I go anyway....

You mean, try to yell "When you get done dancing with these scrubs, come deal with a real man." WHAT? "When you get done dancing with these scrubs, come deal with a real man!" WHAAAAT? "WHEN YOU GET DONE DANCING WITH THESE SCRUBS COME- OH FORGET IT".

I did get quite bothered by a guy I knew went to the Conservative Society and had argued with me about why flat tax rates were necessary (comes from Jersey, he's the kind of guy whose parents buy him all the Apple gadgets when they come out and apparently his house has a tennis court), anyhoo, he was out of it and kept pushing some girl he knew onto the floor and staggering back into me... no space for me to walk away, I was literally shoving him away; if he hadn't been so out of it I wonder if he'd have taken that as a physical threat.

At Student Union prices I got meself (not including pre-drinking) three John Smith's and two of some Real Ale I'd never seen before... I'm enough of a lightweight that it had me in the mood, unfortunately I actually behaved myself, though.
Seen that episode and amusingly encountered the trainer dilemma before... though that was my friends, I wear old man shoes ;P

I do hate female fashion nowadays... and they all sound like howling banshees in clubs anyway.

Plus, if you're into dudes, well, hot dudes!
Nurglitch shows great wisdom again. For the most part, gay bar is >> than straight bar. I don't know the scene where I am, but as far as "young, party" type clubs, the gay bars in Chattanooga are great. One of them is the best place for nightlife in town, IMHO, though fully half of the people there now I would wager are heterosexual. There ARE straight women there. In fact, the gay bars I went to certainly had lesbians in them, but it seemed there were more straight women than other women. It seems to me I've gotten better drinks and definitely nicer bartenders ( probably for the same reason that some female waitresses and bartenders will be extra nice to male customers, its conducive to tips.). If you feel uncomfortable, you can go with friends or a female friend.
It is a gay bar and you might get hit on, so if you're hetero and you're uncomfortable with that don't go. I've never run into anyone that was pushy or physical, but you might get asked to dance or if you're available. A simple I'm straight, no thanks has always worked for me. If someone wants to buy you a drink, make it clear right off that you're straight so there aren't any hard feelings. I've had drinks bought for me anyhow, since believe it or not gay men sometimes like to just talk to other men instead of just having sex with them. I brought a friend of mine to a gay bar as a prank, and when I was in the restroom one of the guys we sat with came in to conveniently "use the restroom" and was asking me how long my friend and I had been together. It was a little awkward but we laughed it off. Everyone involved had a good time.
Music tends to be good, though I've never heard hip hop at a gay bar for some reason. You can get in and get a drag queen show for 5 bucks, which is surprisingly entertaining.
The only club in town where I am now I go to is a country western dance bar. The music is not overpoweringly loud, at least until late, and the women are pretty attractive. If you go on ladies night the ratio of split tails to hard rocks is at least 4 to 1. I'm married now and not on the market, but I still like to go there sometimes. They have cheap beer, though call liquor is horrendous. The entire reason I started going was they have free dance lessons on ladies night, and I was intentionally trying to put myself in social situations to try to deal with some of my issues in that area. I don't know if these type of clubs exist outside the US, but they're usually pretty cool places to go.
