socializing with girls in clubs

edited July 2007 in General
Well i just got back home from a night out, pretty decent altogether. of recent i decided i'm going to try to work on my game, and of course by game i mean picking up girls. of course the best way to pick up girls is simply just to talk to them (and no i don't mean pick up lines......)

here's where my problem comes in, finding good conversation starters that will create an interesting conversation with someone you just met. and this doesn't go for just women only, i would like to be able to strike up a good conversation with anyone that i've just met. in all i'm trying to be a more social person.

    i've never been able to socialize in a club atmosphere. with the noise, and crowded people and such, its just a pain. if i'm in a pub atmosphere, or a lounge it's not so bad. but if you see me in a club, chances are i'm just there to drink with my buds and have a good time. in all honesty, the women in clubs are of about the same quality as the men. not that i would know the female's perspective.

    and when it comes to "macking bitches" nothing beats confidence and a sense of humor.

    in any situation, i approach women not on the basis that i'm trying to get them to go out with me, but rather from the perspective of; would i want to go out with them. if i'm talking to a girl and she's copping attitude on me, then chances are she isn't going to change much further on down the road.

    be yourself. and all that crap. it's true, and it keeps thing simple.

    crap i look for:
    if she's playing with her hair while we're talking, you go in for the kill. that's a subconscious indicator of interest for a female.
    is her laugh genuine? does she even like to laugh? (charis, from the cfox morning show has THE sexiest laugh ever)
    does she keep eye contact?
    does she have anything to say? does she bring anything to the conversation, or does she just sit there and try to look fuckable

    i am at the point in my life where when it comes to sex my mind starts to wander half way through the second time around. so there's got to be more to keep me around then a nice bum and perfect skin. but that's getting away from the point in the thread.

    one more thing. if you get past the whole socializing in the club thing. and you actually find yourself dating someone. i heard this in "A Bronx Tale" with Robert DeNiro and Chaz Palminteri. And I swear to god this is as close to the truth as you'll ever get. When you pick a girl up for a date. You pull up to her house, when you get out of the car make sure both doors are locked. You bring her to the car, unlock and open the door for her, let her get in, then close the door behind her. walk around the back of the car and stop at the rear window. If she doesn't reach over and unlock your door for you. You dump her. As soon as possible. Why? Because if she doesn't reach over and lift that button for you it means she's selfish and all you're seeing is the tip of the iceberg.

    it isn't exactly original, but i swear to god, in my experience, its the truth.

    I actually got confident talking to girls in clubs in a semi-amusing way. My buddy decided that he wanted to be the Lime King, and have every single lime in the club. Which meant that we had to go hunt down everyone with a Corona, and find a way to steal their lime wedge. So whenever it was a chick, I would have to go talk to them, to distract them from their bottle, while my buddy took the lime.

    After striking up converstions with maybe 25 girls in one night, I found that I wasn't really too nervous about aproaching one I actually like. ;)

    hmm.. i'm don't the think you'll find the type of socializing you want in a club scene.. people who go there just wanna have a good time.. the conversation will only be on the surface.. you won't get into anything deep or interesting..

    Different clubs bring different attitudes. Hip Hop night @ Plush brings all the try-hards, with guys trying to act tough & aggressive, and girls who are Gold Digging Sluts. On the other hand, House night @ Red Room brings people who are only there to have a good time. It's a very friendly atmosphere where people get along.

    Speaking of club socializing, how does a girl know if she is a wingman distraction, or the target? lol.
  • edited July 2007
    Smiles...very blunt but very true about the Plush crowd. From my experience, the girls there are the biggest bitches and I guess now I know why! I am definitely checking out Red Room soon, I'd rather go where people know how to get along and have a good time rather than everyone looking to hook up or dig for gold hehe

    vik...thats for us to know and you to find out ;)

    If you like house, definately check out Red Room. It's my favourite club right now.

    To get back to your question, which I never answered....
    If you are going to try to pick up club girls, there are three types...
    1) golddigging sluts
    2) girls with major issues (and I mean big)
    3) girls who are there to have a good time
    I would stay away from the golddiggers & girls with major issues - unless you are there for superficial reasons (i.e. sex), and/or want a very needy girl. Girls who are there to have a good time, well.... they are only there to have a good time. Nothing wrong with asking, how is your night going, having fun, etc. I'm not saying its impossible, but if you are looking to pick up a good girl, it will be hard to find her at a club. Because the good girls are usually too busy having a good time and not too concern with getting picked up.

    Another reason it's hard picking up a good girl at a club is that they think the guys are all there for one reason.

    Ugh! You guys are horrible. lol.

    But long story short - if your friend is more attractive?

    The smoking room at Red Room kills me. Otherwise i would go back there.

    Clubs are not a good place to pick up girls. Girls are there to dance and have dumb guys buy drinks for them.

    That is all.
  • edited July 2007
    Then where is a good place to pick up girls? Do tell
  • edited July 2007

    That's why I avoid the club scene altogether.

    that's for girls with smarts

    i choose meeting them at the gym.

    but i'd say library is easier to conversate because in a library, i just have that urge to talk, don't know if it's the same for the rest of you haha.
  • edited July 2007
    Library? Isn't everyone supposed to be quiet there? Unless you're talking about where the computers are in which case people would be doing work and you would be distracting.

    I don't think the library is a good place. Gym is better, haven't tried it there though.
  • edited July 2007
    Honestly, as long as she's into you and she's single, most girls don't really care where they're hit on.

    The problem with the gym is that the girls who want to get hit on are equivelant to the "buy me a drink" girls, and the girls who don't are there to possibly shed a little weight or tone up and are self-conscious.

    I'd say the coffee house on campus or the cafeterias are good bets. Social atmosphere, but you can hear yourself think.
  • edited July 2007
    I'd say anywhere really. If you have that urge to talk to a cutie who keeps looking over at you then it comes down to your confidence, no matter where you are. I've never found a place on campus that people are genuinely open to meeting new people, other than pub night which happens at the beginning of every semester. Girls are really easy to talk to on res too if your lucky enough to have some tasties on your floor. In the library, I've noticed that everyone usually goes to the library for one reason, and thats to get work done so it's a little bit tougher.

    where are some places you'd go to meet guys?
  • edited July 2007
    I think the big problem is that women just sort of go places where they think guys will meet them. Even with job equality and women's rights, etc. etc. I think the majority of us still feel more comfortable with the guy taking the wheel.

    Okay, question - I have a perfectly attractive friend (not gorgeous, but definitely above-average). Guys never seem to approach her. She's friendly, maybe a little shy.

    Does a guy actually need to be given an indication that a girl is interested, or is it like in the movies when they just stroll over? Because honestly, I typically like getting to know someone, and then a crush just sort of develops out of friendship and based on what I like/know about them, but she'd rather just have that flirtation right off the bat with a "new guy" and she's getting a little frustrated that she's never really approached.

    The stroll-over approach might have worked back when life was like Casablanca, but these days it's far too easy to be labelled negatively. I will always wait for a sign.

    Which is sort of as I figured. I guess what constitutes a sign is where the assuredness of the guy sort of comes in.

    or one that isn't associated with mind games which the ladies love to play on us.

    I think guys play mind games more than girls do.
