You need wingmen to keep the other girls occupied while you work on your target. If her friends aren't getting any attention, you won't either. Plus, going alone makes you look like a loser who is only out for a quick lay. While this is probably true for every guy at the club, the more social proof you have, the less desperate you look. Lastly, going with people just makes you more comfortable because you know that you at least have your boyz when you are not getting the ladies. I would never go clubbing alone. Social proof is everything.
Social proof is more important in the Clubs than it is in the Lounge/Tavern/Pubs types of places.
It's also more important for younger people.
I've personally done better going out solo than with friends because I've tended to be more social to strangers out of sheer boredom than to hold up the wall by myself.
When you're out with friends, you can get sidetracked: Maybe you end up shooting the BS with them, getting drunk, maybe they want to go get something to eat, etc...
When you are solo, you either sink or swim and it's entirely up to you what happens.
Also, going out alone is a good way to improve your DJ skills - you're trying to Mack without a wingman.
If you can pull this off, you're a DJ
Again, it's better to go solo than to not go at all.
