Repost from the past: Clubs vs. Pubs
I rarely go to dance clubs anymore.
Instead, I go to the "Pub/Lounge" type places for several reasons:
1) Most of these places don't have dance floors, although they do have ambient background music.
The women that go to these places are there to meet people (Translation: Get picked up) and not to dance.
2) As mentioned above, the background music is more for atmosphere at pubs/lounges and is not ear splitting loud. It makes it 1000% easier to talk to women and run your game.
When you're at a dance club and you're trying to talk to women, you have to lean in so close to hear/be heard that you can't hold eye contact during conversation or read body language and you almost have to shout to communicate.
You say something, and she says "what?" - you repeat yourself, this time louder and she still can't hear you.
Eventually she does, but by then you're the one saying "what?" to her reply, and on and on, back and forth.
Very frustrating and a waste of time.
And for you students of SS, it makes it impossible to run patterns effectively (shifting tonality and such) in a loud atmosphere.
The last time I went to a dance club, my voice was all but gone the next day from trying to talk above the music.
3) Dance clubs are often populated with groups of women who are just out for a night of dancing with the girls and nothing more. They enjoy the attention from all the AFC's buying them drinks just so they can dance with them.
Again, the Pub/Lounge going women are there strictly to meet people, not to dance.
4) Dance clubs usually have a cover charge of anywhere from $10.00 to $40.00 as well as a long wait to get in.
If after you wait in line and drop a fair amount of coin to get in and don't like the scenery, too bad.
Besides, I've got better things to do with my Weekend night(s) out than to stand in line for an hour while watching all the people on the VIP list walk right in. That’s time I could be using to Mack multiple women.
5) If you're not a good dancer, you might not do all that well at dance clubs. The alternate is to take the time to learn to dance well.
The problem with that is that it's time - consuming and only helps your game in one environment.
That's time and effort you could be using to hone your DJ skills.
Skills that will help you PU in any environment, not just dance clubs.
In my opinion, the Pub/Lounge scene is a better bet than the Club scene when it comes to meeting and picking up women.
