There are some interesting stories about the difference in policing alcohol hare compared to over there but an AMA? I'm not so sure people would be interested. Going back to my original point the job of venue management/staff/security is already to ensure nobody feels uncomfortable in the venue so this publicity stunt is exactly that and it worked. It's made international news.

wtf has happened to Australia ?

from their mental covid approach to this ... also apparently you can be arrested if you are JOGGING without a helmet ...

Can you imagine the type of person - girl or guy that would apply to be one of the monitors in a pink vest ?

I am thinking portly, unattractive - never got the shift themselves back when they were going out and are angry and bitter about it.

They'll only be happy when no one is scoring - like I said they want a new age of puritanism.

Same types that would have been wearing the Covid Marshall vests...

That's still not here, or anywhere near here, completely irrelevant to us here.

Take that up with the OP then. Tell he or she only posts about Irish nightlife are allowed on boards.

It depends Vain. Side lurking has its benefits, it depends on the llghting and what proximity you are to a wall?

Walls are great for leaning on when you are getting closer and the potential for intimacy is becoming more and more apparent. However be wary of the type of wall. If it is painted gloss it will have most likely be dripping wet with the condensation produced from the orifices and sweat glands of everyone present in that night club..... phucking nasty altogether. If that's the case, be the gentleman and lean your back on the wall and position her out facing directly at you. This works wonders, as she has now no living thing left to focus on except you, you should be in cruise control at this point.

Personally I have always favoured the cornering technique, whereby you get your yourself to a secluded corner that gives token privacy from the rest of the venue. Remarkably many people are drawn to these spots. Any bird hanging around such shady, dimly lit areas of the club are either partially self conscious of how they look ( always compliment the dark corner brigade, they appreciate it ) .. or even better, some lurkers are literally finding a suitable lair to shift someone. If they meet you there... and don't scarper within seconds whilst looking around aimlessly like Clarice Starling in Buffalo Bill's blacked out cellar.... you are definitely into pulling any girl that hangs for more than one minute at least. If you can break the 10 minute barrier in this scenario you getting towards it being a formality. Keep the conversation nice and civil, don't get ahead of yourself and above all, try not to appear like the kind of creep that you really actually are?

I know it sounds obnoxiously contrived, but i actually think it is a wonderful tactic for puliing in nightclubs and I have enjoyed wonderful success with it over the centuries.

Finally, please note that the side approach on the dance floor does not really count. It is a cheap shot all said and you really are not being fair to yourself. Women should always be approached head on... whilst gyrating like the revved up ossified clown you are. At least 3 of your top shirt buttons should be open and never wear a jacket whilst dancing, ever. Approach with verve and tenacity, keep your head up and try to make your eyes smile with a hint of seduction. Don't hang around either, if she turns her back to you upon the first sight of your ugly leering mess, please be aware that this is not an excuse for you to start ploughing into her back whilst scrunching your nose to your lip and waving you right arm about whilst placing your other arm near her waist. Just don't do this unless you have received some level of communication with her. If a bird likes your moves on the dance floor she will retain eye contact and move closer towards you, this is a good sign, she is being receptive to your approach and wants to continue. Don't touch her until she touches you, if she likes you she will for sure. If she turns her back to you and bends over and starts trying to touch her toes try not the start any rodeo impressions , it looks awful and she is obviously hammered and has no clue how to dance. If other moths see you doing this they will think you are a pig and scratch you off the list, possibly for ever.

Good luck and enjoy yourself.
