Okay. So this is my first blog. Don’t expect it to be A) funny. B) Grammatically correct. C) Funny. HAHAHAHAAHAA. Yeah that’s a small taster to the level of comedy this is going have…
…Anywaaaay. I’ve recently read two of my close friends blogs. Admittedly this is probably the first time I’ve ever really read a blog before, and I’m abit new to the whole concept. If anything I’m just writing this as a reply to both of their blogs because I think the views were a bit biased and closed minded ;) but for the most part they were true. You can find these inferior blogs at these addresses. I will also realise names and addresses if requested. http://thisonejustcameoutoftheswamp.blogspot.com/ and http://weallgotwoodandnails.blogspot.com/2010/08/alcohol-and-its-failings.html.
I assume by this point you have read these two blogs and therefore some of this may make sense to you. If you haven’t read them then don’t bother reading this, as for the most part I am just going to refer back to these rather than telling a whole separate story.
Okay. So the general subject of these blogs is about going to clubs and trying to get lucky. There’s also the feeling that this is the sole purpose for going to clubs in the first place. However, I really don’t think this is the case. Don’t get me wrong, if I go to a club and get called off my groove train during my favourite song for abit of kissy wissy time then I’m not gunna complain (providing the groove train wants to pull up to that station if you get my drift). I don’t really know where I’m going with this groove train metaphor, so I’m just gunna move on and hopefully it’ll read back =S. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is going out clubbing shouldn’t be about pulling, or scowling at dickheads. It should be about going out and having a good time with your friends.
If you go out with the sole intention to pull then it will be obvious to any guys or girls in the club. If you are unconfident then you will almost certainly give that impression to the person you are trying to impress, and if you don’t look confident you’ll find yourself floating around looking awkward. Now, most people think that drinking will solve this. I’d say they are probably-defiantly wrong. If anything, alcohol will still make you float around looking awkward, but just add the drunken weirdo vibe to the list of desirables. In my opinion, the best way to go out and get with a girl specifically in a club is to not think about it. Okay so the success rate may drop quite dramatically, which would be devastating to toms 0.02%, but you are probably less likely to ‘settle’ for someone your not particularly interested in just to make the night seem worth while. If you go out with the intention of just having a good time, not thinking about pulling, you are much more likely to come away not disappointed, and if you pull then that’s just an awesome bonus :).
Now, I have an example most of my friends will know about. It involves a friend and his infamous 100% success rate… but that also depends on what you call successful * shudders *. A couple of weeks ago this 100% success rate was cut down, and resulted in a very awkward and annoying taxi ride home. The conversation centred on how we don’t make enough effort to pull and how it’s ruined the night. Tom will certainly remember this and should also find it a brilliant example of how going out with intention only to pull will result in A) being a dick B) disappointment. And C) people thinking you’re a dick. Tom was NOT the culprit in this situation just to make that clear.
Now the drinking aspect is a weird one for me. I like getting munted, but preferably I like to still be in control. But I’m in a slight predicament at the moment. At university for the last 3 years, the general consensus was the more you drank the more awesome you were. I’m not talking about self-confidence, but more about what you friends thought of you. There was praise for a good drunk night out, which I kind of miss, because I was always smashed :D. Basically the more of a twat you made of yourself the better. However, back in Brighton it feels like the situation is almost reversed. A lot of my friends seem to be worried about getting ratted off their faces because they feel they might be judged. This is annoying, because the only people judging them are themselves. Hell, I’m not gunna judge anyone for being drunk. I’ve been known to get confused by glass shower doors somehow not letting through because of their invisible force field. And why I wanted to get into the shower fully clothed I’ll never know. Basically what I’m trying to say is, get crunked and I’ll love you :D.
However, know should your limit, even though the limit you once knew seems to always become a distance memory when the shots are only £1. But if you can remember your limit… Don’t get drunk enough to punch people in the back of the head whilst they are having a whizz. That’s just not cool. I’ve also been a sucker for getting into drunken fights, but I try not to get to that point when drinking, as it just ruins the night and I know its just the alcohol influencing me. At the end of the day I can trust my girlfriend to deal with twats and not get jealous. I’m sure I can trust her a lot more than a double vodka red bull anyway. However, I think Jitchy B may be on a par when it comes to trust, as Jitchy never lets you down. Banter.
In short, I think people shouldn’t go out to pull, but to just have a good time. I do think that going to clubs and pulling girls has its goods and bads, but for the main part it is a bit of a shot in the dark. When it comes to actually personality it’s going to be quite hard to judge when she’s screaming down your ear just to ask for your name, but I guess you can probably learn a lot about someones personality from how forward they are. I guess you have to let your shallow side deal with the initial meeting, as low as that sounds. I’m not going to say it’s either a good or a bad thing. I met my ex girlfriend in a club and I was with her for two years. However I didn’t ‘pull’ her in the club, but rather met up after just talking to her in a club. And I pulled my current girlfriend in a club and that’s working out pretty dam well. So I guess what I’m tryna say is… stop whingeing and get on with it.
Much love :)
