What the bouncer's really thinking when he refuses you entry from a nightclub. A group of five or six men without women are always denied entry to nightclubs. That's sexism against men.

The whole topic mystifies me, for example:

the idea of a nightclub is that you socially mix with people in a pleasant way

No it isn't. The idea is that you go into a badly lit, hot, smelly room with shitty music playing so loud that you can't hear yourself think. Although that doesn't matter because nobody is there for a conversation. There is a crowded bar tightly packed with aggressive people where you can buy wildly overpriced alcoholic drinks. If you're particularly desperate for sex you can try shouting in the ear of some dimly lit girl who is dressed like a prostitute.

And yet bizarrely, they have a dress code to filter out 'the wrong sort of people'. What the fuck is the right sort of people supposed to be? Masochists? Girls with no self respect? People who collect STDs? These bouncers talk about wanting to prevent aggression and female chasing but why else would anyone go to these places? Not for entertainment or intellectual stimulation. Still, you might not be able to talk or see each other but that's fine because nobody is wearing trainers.

I have been to quite a few clubs and I truly don't understand. Nobody who goes to them appears to enjoy themselves so why do they keep going?

Isn't it discrimination against women when bouncers allow them into a club just because they're women? or am I the only one who cares about discrimination when it involves the affected party getting something they want?

As a guy who has worked in a club this is belive it or not also a security factor. A club full of dudes is a tikking time bomb of testosterone. Six guys in a group with no girls is in my experience a lot of trouble if there is already few girls inside. Downvote if you must but this is an actual consern

Ah I think this is more market forces in this case. Guys are the spenders, and won't show up if the ratio sucks.

Same 5 or 6 dudes go right in if you have bottle service.

Is anyone else astounded by the mental gymnastics she performed? If this were the olympics she would get a 7/10. She constantly sees how guys get mistreated and then circles right back to her ideas. Instead of accepting new ideas that might challenge her view of the world she just nods her head and goes right back to spouting what she spouted before. This shit is the same way feminists tended to respond to us in the past and one of the reasons we left their camp.

I've definitely been harassed by women I am not interested in at clubs, a common occurrence for men as well I think.

Bars and club have a right to regulate who goes in and who doesn't, its fair for them to deny people entry for all but a few reasons.

Never again, sucked in to the gaping void of the telegraph
