Sophisticated? Oh really?
I have never liked clubs. I don't like the overpriced, watered down drinks, the stupidly loud repetitive music and the unbelievable crush. I could, mind you, live with all this if I was able to pull once in a while. Nope. On the contrary, of the several times I've gone on to clubs with girls from somewhere else, they've ended up wrapped around another bloke within five minutes. If you've seen the episode of the inbetweeners where they go clubbing, my experiences of it are generally like that.

Notwithstanding all of the above, I was dragged out to a club in Edinburgh last year with some friends of mine. True to form, it was boiling, too loud and unbearably crowded. I was on a sofa at the far end of the room, out of money and half cut, when it suddenly dawned on me, and I imagined I could hear a David Attenborough voiceover describing the elaborate mating rituals of the Edinburgh student. I realised that for all the dressing up and hours of preparation that some people put into clubbing, it is not sophisticated. It goes right back down to the most basic instincts shared by everything in the animal kingdom.

I started laughing. I laughed all the way down the room, all the time I was getting my coat, and right up the steps into the street. I was still chuckling as I wandered into a nearby fish and chip shop. "Cheeseburger please mate" I said. "Here you go" he replied. "I'm just closing up, so you can have it for a quid".

Now THAT's a beautiful moment.

Sweet
I did the same a while back, and got a full portion of fish and chips for the same.

*click* anyway though.

*click*
For sharing the same views on chessy nightclubs, never got to grips with them myself and my own particular brand of truthing it with girls was never a good tactic.

Ah, clubs
Pubs and bars vary hugely from the insipid to the amazing, but clubs can be relied on to be wank the world over. Yes please, I'd love to pay £15 to spend four hours drinking fizzy water and being shouted at.

I've never pulled in a club either. Pubs, restaurants, supermarkets, student unions, garden parties, gardens at parties...all miles better pulling spots, chiefly because you can hear each other speak.

absolutely agreed with this
I did the entire club thing when i was in my late teens. Hated the music and never ever pulled. (though that might be something to do with looking like Fester)
Only nightclub i ever found tolerable was the local rock club and that was only because there was a much lower arsehole quotient amongst the clientelle. I still didn't pull
