Aggressive women on nights out.
-
01-10-2010 5:01pm#1Just wondering has anyone else noticed how agressive some women seem to have gotten in Ireland lately?
I was out on the town last night and ended up in a club. The place was packed. But anyway every girl that walked past me seemed to feel the need to elbow me in the side or shove me in the back if I was blocking her way at all rather than saying excuse me. It literally happened with about 20 different women
I've always been used to men being aggressive arseholes on nights out but they're generally less gung ho about it as they know they could well get a punch back. Its only in the last few months thought that I've noticed how nasty and rude some women can be with the pushing and shoving. Is it because women think no man will retaliate if they shove them?? Maybe it's just me thought :pac:
Just interested in everyones thoughts.
Just realised I spelt aggressive wrong in the header, ah well !0

she went nuts and said "how can you ask that? you should say 'may i'" and then i got a punch in the arm for my troubles.
so that went well!
It could have been worse ballsymchugh...she might have hit you in the family jewels

Just watch out for the small ones... they'll get you in the nuts! :eek:0 -

lads, it's not just barging their way around the club, they get away with absolute murder on a night out...when I say "they" I am not referring to all women, just the "professional night-club woman", who basically has a shoite job and lives for her night out, prepares all day for it, loads of make-up and fake tan, maybe hair extensions, accessorised to the max...you know the type, they are everywhere if you frequent the larger more commerical mainstream clubs....anyway apart from barging their way around the club, they generally do other stuff too that I don't approve of like
A) skipping the queue, either sweet-talking the bouncers or sweet-talking some clueless gob****e who lets them step in alongside himself in the queue, the clown thinks he is in as they chat away happily with him in the queue only to ditch him as soon as they get in
going to the bar to get drinks: they'll barge in ahead of people who have been waiting, batting the eyelids etc and of course the barman will be taken in by the cleavage and go to her first (see A)
C) they get guys to hand their coats/handbags in for them (see A)
D) they actively seek out a guy to pay for their drinks (see A)
E) if they make a move on you and you don't respond you are either "gay" or they invent something to the bouncers to get you thrown out (has happened to me)
F) they often get in for free or a discount by flirting with bouncers/owner/person on till
G) they'll try to scrounge taxi and food out of you too, you of course will have to queue up and pay for food and taxi while they sit around giggling somewhere or examing their nails or making loud drunken screams about the most inane stuff imaginable
..the worst part is if if you object to any of this stuff then you are the badguy, oh and you won't generally get your end away either
conclusion: stick to the indie underground places, far more interesting people there and the stuff I mentioned (A-G) doesn't tend to happen there0 -

Some drunken and I do mean drunken bitch on the dance floor, slipped. My mate picked her back up by the wrist and the shoulder. She punches him, then he asks "what the fu*k are you doing, I was just getting you on your feet".
Her loving response was... a kick to the stomach followed by me elbowing the... "female" in the jaw and telling the nice lady to keep away otherwise she'll get another for her trouble.
Funny thing is, her friend couldn't have been more apologetic. Hell, even the bouncer said "nice shot" when I left the floor.
The funny thing is... nobody did anything or said anything negative to me over it. So much for women being little innocent girls, eh? 0 -

Nothing like the local then!
Basically the only girls that get "special" treatment is either "regulars" or if something happened (like a fella being a bit too... touchy) with them. Other than that it's fair game. If they hit a bloke they either get hauled out or get hit back.
Although I've had the thing of "HE STOLE ME BLEEDIN' MONEY!"
and the nice barmaids reply was "that's my boyfriend, do you want to be thrown out". Of course I wasn't her boyfriend but it was funny.
I know the people that you're on about but if you don't treat them that way, they'll soon leave and you cdan have a good night.0 -

Watching her walk off was brilliant.
Bit crude this, but years ago I was in Galways for the Races.
We got chatting to some girls in the queue into Boo Radley's.
As soon as we go in the door one of the girls asked (demanded) me to buy her a drink.
I was after a few beers so I just came out and said "Grand, but you have to do something for first". "What?" she says. "Give me a BJ" says I.
Seemed like a fair trade at the time! 0 -

In my experience, I get a good kick out of girls and guys trying to barge past me and bouncing off. Being bigger than the average joe has it's benefits
Also, on the few occasions a girl has been a bitch to me (thrown a drink over me, hit me or slapped me) she's gotten the same back, be it a drink over the head, a love tap to the arm or a wee light slap to the face. If they're big and bad enough to throw it, they're big and bad enough to take it.The alcoholic underclass of society consuming vast amounts of gargle for hours on end where getting drunk is the end and drinking is the means. The normal rules of society just dont apply in these clubs. Here's an idea. Turn up to a club completely sober. It's an eye opener.
Drinking in both Ireland and the UK is a health time bomb for the younger generation. I's start investing in livers now if I could, they will be like gold in about 10-20 years when every second drunk is looking for a spare one because they have destroyed their own.
This may be part of it... I don't drink so it's much more obvious to me.0 -

I think that's it. I'm only 23 and I went out for the night there last week, and there was quite a lot of shoving and elbowing. It got very irritating very quickly.
But I didn't notice or mind it when I was 19 or 20. Must be getting old... 0 -

I'm gettin that alright at 22, never feel comfortable in nightclubs anymore, I end up just drinking and smoking to pass the time until my mates are ready to leave
Of course suggesting going to a late bar where you can chill out, listen to decent music that isn't way too loud, sit down and enjoy your drink is out of the question...why you ask?
Because skantily clad drunk women don't hang out in these places0
