Hey guys, today's post is going to a be a bit of a silly one, but it's something that I feel should be discussed.
If you've read my previous Sunny Sunday posts, you will know that I have been going out for drinks and clubbing with my friends the past couple of Saturday's. Now, to some 20 year old's, that seems pretty tame compared to the crazy nights out teenagers have nowadays; who go out 3 nights a week, and sometimes more! (Especially if you're a student over the age of 18!). But for me, "clubbing" and getting drunk is a special occasion. I thoroughly enjoy drinking with friends and dancing the night away, purely because I don't do it often. The fact of the matter is: I like to take care of my body, and to me, having fun doesn't have to include alcohol.
Still, these last couple of Saturday's have been interesting one's, particularly for one special reason.
The Nightclub Mating Dance.
Let me explain. My night's out usually consist of pre-drinking (either at a friends house when you're getting ready, or at a nice pub or bar for cocktails with friends). Then, following that, we will head to our local Weatherspoons for one more drink to socialise with more friends and/or strangers. (Mainly strangers for my last night's out!). After that last drink, then we would head off to either another bar or a club, where we can let loose and dance our cares away. Seem's pretty standard, right?
Well, if you're over the age of 18, you will know that there is always one club that you definitely do not want to venture into. You never start the night there, unless you're desperate, and if you're lucky, you will hopefully never venture in there at all. But my luck seemed to be a little different these last two Saturday's, as both night's ended at this club. And, to add what I said before, you don't want to go into this club unless you are completely off your face drunk so that you barely remember entering it in the first place.
I, on the other hand, was sober. Too sober.
Because I was sober, I had the chance to take a look at this club in a new light, and see if it was as bad as everyone says. Don't get me wrong, I had a great time! The club played great music, and I only saw, maybe, 3 smashed glasses on the floor? But the main thing I noticed in this club is something that, to me, looked super weird. And creepy. And it happened to me about 4 times last Saturday, and 3 times the Saturday before. And that is: the nightclub mating dance.
Picture this: You're dancing in the club with your friends, the place is packed out, lights are flashing and the music is so loud, you can feel your ear drums pumping along with the bass. You're wacking out your best dance moves to your favourite song (Uptown Funk, for me at the mo!) when suddenly, you feel someone touching one of your hip bones. You ignore it and try to move away, then you feel their other hand on your other hipbone. Before you have time to react, their crotch is pushing against your bum like they're trying to dry hump you in front of a crowd of people; you feel their breath on your neck, and you have no clue who it is because they crept up on you from behind.
Yeah, that happened to me 4 times in a row.
Smacking their hands away, you turn around to give them a piece of your mind, when you realise that the same thing is happening to girls all around you! You politely decline their offer to dry hump you, and then they look at you with slight disappointment before heading out on the prowl for their next victim.
Now, to someone who goes out clubbing all the time, that's probably the norm. But to me, you know, the girl who still thinks men can be chivalrous and gentlemanly, it really took me by surprise. And can we discuss how friggin' creepy it is? I mean, they come up to you FROM BEHIND. There is no mutual agreement between you; no "May I have this dance?" No sexy eye contact from across the dancefloor like you see in the movies. Just you having a great time dancing, and then BAM! Dry humping.
I'd like to add to my experience of this, and mention that one of the guys that tried doing this to me, when I politely told him to get off of me, he said: "Look, it's my mates birthday, would you mind if you...you know...?"
...What?
I didn't want to know.
Creepy as hell. Let's just say after that, I grabbed my bestie and we moved far away from that creep. If this is the way guys think is the right way to attract a woman when they're drunk, I hate to think what they think is a good way to attract a woman when they're sober! In fairness, I'm sure not all guys are like that in nightclubs, but the fact that I not only saw it happen to other girls (some who seemed to enjoy it, to be honest!) that I actually experienced myself; I think I'd rather stick to staying in and watching a movie.
And that's it for this post! Hope you guys enjoyed it, and comment down below if you've ever experienced the nightclub mating dance! And I will see you guys on Sunday for another Sunny Sunday!
Fawce xoxo.
