Back to the topic at hand, if I may vent...
The greedy club owners are creating more isolation by reducing the size of the public standing social areas and the dance floors to create more VIP areas and tables. The "table" thing just isolates a clique from the rest of the club, and you generally can't enter that area to meet those girls unless invited. I understand why the clubs do it. If you get a group of 6 people, do you want them to pay a typical say $20 cover each or have the group get a table priced from $400 to over $1000 instead? Add in some pricey "bottle service." No brainer.
As mentioned before, girls roll in much larger groups than ever before. Years ago, you would see a lot of groups of two girls. (Two-sets are manageable.) Now, I see 6, 10, sometimes as many as 14 girls in a group. So you can't just meet one girl and talk to her. You have to try to entertain Madison Square Garden (insert Wembley Stadium for the UK guys) lol. This creates more of a cliquey environment and isolation.
The funny thing is, with these large groups of girls, I have seen several nights where the girls actually outnumbered the guys. (This is more common when there are birthday or bachelorette parties going on.) You would think that would make it easy or easier? Absolutely not. It was just as difficult, if not more, than a sausagefest. The large groups of girls end up of the dance floor and the guys stay away since many of girls don't want to be bothered. They are content with their tight circle of psuedo-lesbian dancing during their "girl's night out." At the end of the night, I see three, maybe four girls out of the 100 making out with a guy they met that night. I haven't seen an extraction in a while.
If you want a drink and don't want to wait forever, I recommend that you find a gay bartender and go to him. I'm serious. Be friendly to him and you'll get great service. Plus he won't c*ckblock you or hit on your girl.
A straight male bartender will obviously give priority to women and make you wait unless it's slow or he knows you. A female bartender (hired gun in pickup lingo) is there to AW and will only give priority to the very hot or high status guys.
Don't even get me started on the "creep, creepy, creeper" thing. Basically, that is any guy that is attracted to her, but isn't her "type."
