The first time i tried stepping foot in a club back in 2010 i wasn’t bounced but i got flung out like a piece of paper by the bouncer on duty(Very wicked guy.) Imagine spending several hours preparing for what i thought was going to be an epic night for me, fresh from the hood, cash in hand and swag to follow and that guy just bounced me like a we had beef from somewhere.
Going to a nightclub for the first time can be an intimdating experience. But not to worry, you are not alone, if it makes you feel better most clubbers go through this and by reading this article you’ll be able to go in like a boss from your very first visit. The key is being prepared and knowing what to expect before you get to the club.
Dress Codes For Nightclubs
You can’t show up overlly dressed. You have to be well dressed(casual wears works just fine or have on something that’s cool and hip. Girls, skirts and heels are recommended.
Facial Expression
On my first day out, i remember asking for some tips and advice from a friend who by our definition then was the King of Fun, one advice i got from him was “Guy, Bone your face”. Did i bone? Yes i did, did i get allowed No i got bounced. A few more trials with a normal expression, not so excited and not so angry did work.
Inside The Club – What To See & Expect
Clubs are dark, loud with pumping music from cool DJs (making it hard to carry on conversations). There’s usually a few different sections. Some areas may be roped off for VIPs, who are really people who have paid a lot more money than you for a “premium” spot, often with bottle service (keep reading). Clubs are also high-energy places, all created by that pumping music. They are definitely not places to go for a quiet night out on the town.
Drink Prices In Clubs
You’re going to pay a premium for drinks and even beer in a nightclub – N1,000 or more for a beer and a couple thousands for spirit or wine. If you want to be a high-roller, you can move to the VIP section(not that i advice you do so). Being your first time, you may want to keep it low but if you feel you are up to the task, please by all means go ahead.
For The Guys: Meeting Girls In Clubs
For most guys, this is the entire point of going to a club. And clubs are certainly a good place to find girls. Do you know that girls like to dance and since it’s so loud, you’re going to have to dance too, to get any interaction with them. And yes, you’ll probably have to buy some girls at least a couple rounds of drinks but don’t force it. Not all girls are interested in meeting new guys or accepting drinks from just any guy.
For the Girls: Meeting Guys In Clubs
Well ladies, this isn’t too tough, men are everywhere! To meet them, make some eye contact and show off your body or best physical attribute(s). Soon you’ll have men swarming around you like bugs at a light. Know, however, that not all the guys in clubs are the best representative of the male species.
Feel free, enjoy the moment, take some drinks, dance to the music everything will work out just fine. Just know that things are more refined – than at a bar or sit out. Dress and act accordingly.
And finally, enjoy it!
