Is really that easy to get a girl or chap in a bar or a club?

    You'll all have seen on the TV, 'you got to this nightclub you'll get a bird' people saying how easy girls at clubs/bars are. I don't do that scene myself, and I have a girlfriend. But taking the word of the people I talk to is limited. So what are your experiences? Are girls/chaps easier to 'pull' at a club or bar?

    Yes. They are drunk. And so are you.

    In my experience people go to a nite club to get more drink. Bring back the slow set :)

    Generally when people are in a bubble on the town at two in the morning they're more succeptable to talking to strangers with 'not so witty' chat up lines that seem hilarious at the time..Drink has a tendancy to make ppl sometimes more funny/attractive than they really are. Not saying all but some of the time lol :D

    If you arrive prepared there should be no reason that you don't pull any girl you're after.

    Generally the necessary equipment includes rope, roofies and gloves.

    Rope !!! are you for real. Its bulky, will slow you down and isn't easily concealed. Use cable ties , much more effective. ;)

    It's easier certainly, with the levels of enthusiasm and self esteem inflated due to inebriation, but I just don't find incontinent inebriation attractive.

    Maybe I'm old fashioned.

    call me old fashioned too but I'm not into that golden shower stuff either.

    I was speaking to a male friend about this recently and he commented that it is extremely hard for him and very easy for girls. I agree with him to a degree but its not always easy to get who you want. Sure you could meet somebody but the guy you are attracted to in the bar might not be interested. I'm recently single so this whole scene is open to me now again. I have to say I hate it, all the small talk and come-ons are so annoying and really do make you miss the non-hassle and fun that comes with being with someone you can actually have intelligent conversation with. I do have a female friend though, actually two, that guaranteed pull every night we go out. It's quite funny actually :)

    OP, your impressions of dating are formed from television, you don't trust the word of people you talk to and now you think AH can clear up your confusion. I foresee hard times for you ahead if this is how you form your opinions.

    In the business we call that an A.R.D. kit.

    Not to be confused with a R.A.D. kit.

    Nope, firstly you have to be good looking and have bags of confidence.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Short skirt, slinky tights or hold-ups, push-up bra, sultry hair and make-up, and yes. Yes it is.

    Even easier for women.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    If you have the confidence (not over-confidence!), the patter of right words and the appearance just right given a particular prospect you like, there should be no reason why you at least shouldn't stand a chance of walking away into the night with your desire.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭Gonzor


    Clubs are tricky I find just because you cant hear each other, but pubs on the other hand, you've got any amount of girls and I think most of them are open to being chatted up whether they're single of not. So yeh, pubs are a goldmine.

    Not interested? Does not compute.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,910 ✭✭✭Sisko


    Yes if you are a particular type of personality.

    If not you are generally screwed and have to rely on life to provide you with someone (chance meetings, through friends, school college work etc etc)

    Such is Ireland anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 116 ✭✭VagnerLove


    haha, I started a thread in the ladies' lounge asking whether women here are easy or not and it was shut down straight away :)

    anyway, it depends a lot on where you go.

    also, yeah, I agree it's easier for a certain type of personality, but even people who feel they're a bit too clever for the usual tedious shit can get used to it by caring less but pretending they care more about the whole thing at the same time.

    From my limited experience of trying to pick up girls in Niteclubs I don't think its as easy as some would tend to suggest.

    For a start a lot of girls (and fellas for that matter) tend to be p!ssed out of their minds, too far gone. Think girls generally tend to be gangy in niteclubs too and stick to their own groups. If you try join in with a group of them on the dancefloor typically a few will be up for it while you will get the evil eyes from a few others...that doesn't help:p

    I see persistance does sometimes pay off for some guys. Seen so with friends. It would seem at first the girl isin't interested. The guy would persist on and eventually she would sucumb. Don't know if this is playing hard to get on the girls part or her chances of pulling a nicer looking guy decreases as the night progresses, or else anything for the quiet life maybe they're thinking?

    I myself need reassuarance...If the girl doesn't show any interest back or snubs me I won't hang around at all, gone straight away, maybe thats my downfall. Of course the likes of that We found love in a hopless place crap belting in my ears at a silly volume doesn't help either.

    Just my thoughts, maybe I'm over analysing the whole thing though:)

    I think it's a lot easier for girls to get a guy than for a guy to get a girl..

    Guys will rarely say no to what is offered to them. Most guys have an intent to get a girl on a night out so they'll take what they can get. Obviously not all guys are like that but in my experiences and from what I've seen, most are. If a girl wants to pull a guy on a night out, she probably can and probably will. Whereas when boys try girls, a lot of girls are just ignorant and it makes them feel better if they say no to a few boys who want them. So I don't think it's that easy for boys.

    That being said though, if a person lowers their standards.. very low.. it will be pretty easy. There's always at least one guy or girl willing to have anybody.. I guess the easiness of pulling someone depends on how high/low a person's standards are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 89 ✭✭Curva Sud


    Yeah,for the girl it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    Never tried to get a chap in a bar but think I must have hit on every woman I met last night and while they were nice enough about it I didn't get to take one home. The fact that were all straight is irrelevant and personally I blame my level of intoxication for the no winner syndrome.

    Or maybe they are simply just not interested and out for the night with their friends???

    I know some girls can be rude when approached. but there seems to be a trend that if a girl says no outright to a guy, she's suddenly stuck up and rude :confused:

    I hate stupid small talk, which seems to count against me when it comes to random women I don't know

    Met my fella in a club smoking area.

    How did we do it? Talked to either other like civilised human beings! :) A few weeks later, we were riding! :o:D

    Its not a gender thing, its an age thing as far as Im concerned.
    When I was in my late teens or early twenties I had no problem scoring on a night out. Late twenties,early thirties not so much. You get to an age in your life where its just sad to be seen kissing the face of some fella in the middle of a club.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 638 ✭✭✭flanders1979


    Its only difficult for people with standards.

    I never said all girls.. I said ''a lot of girls'', which is true. Obviously there are certain girls who have other reasons, that's why I didn't say ''all girls''.

    But I know what you're saying. I have had guys calling me a bítch for turning them down, even though I did it politely. But what I was saying was that some guys just approach a girl trying to have the craic and they automatically assume he is going to try get a ride within 2 minutes or something. That's the type of girls that are ignorant/stuck up. I'm not saying all girls are like that.
