I have always thought that friendships and relationships are more easily cultivated in the club environment. I have had two long term, very serious relationships as a result of meeting in a club. Some of my best friends are those I simply started talking to or dancing with in a club.

It's much easier when you already know what music someone likes. It says a lot about that person's personality. I love being able to walk up to someone in a club and spontaneously strike up a conversation with them, and as long as I can keep doing that I will never stop enjoying clubbing...

Hey tim-e,

it's a nice feeling isn't it. :-)

i wrote that editorial, good to hear your thoughts. it's great that you feel that way. my meetings range from the typical to the downright dodgy - i once met a guy in the toilets who liked the look of my shoes, said so, and started a conversation about them. it progressed from there. didn't take more than a minute to get the hell out of the toilets though!

i would think poorly of anyone superficial enough to make a decision about a prospective partner based on musical tastes <i>without</i> testing the waters first. however, if you try and you think nah, in my view it is not worth it. i've done it once and it was terrible. all right, it's all coming out now, it's all about her, i hope you're reading this you @$*%&$ .........

all right, i need a cup of tea

hey marty,

how are you feeling, bro? Did the cup of tea help? I hope so. you just go ahead and tell us all what it's about. I'm sure she's a bad person.

But I'm a little confused by the first para. Are you telling me you were flirting with a guy in the dunnies? But then you ran out on him? (I HAVE had a spoke recently so I may be reading things into this post ;-)

That's funny, I think the same guy cornered me in the toilets about Players, cos he liked my shoes, about a year ago.....

The only thing I don't really go for is guys coming up to me @ the Beat or the Wickham and trying to pick me up with cheesy lines like "so... come here often?" Now I know how all those chicks I have hit on to felt. :)

And no, I'm not so superficial as to judge a prospective partner based on music tastes... besides, I seem to pick up in the clubs I don't frequent because of their music style anyway!

So, hands up who's going to Advent*jah? I may not be, I have to @%^^@#@# work close (which at pizza hut means 1.00ish), so I'll be there in spirit, if not body.

Cheers all

no no -- he said he liked the look of my royals, we started yarning about shoes, then about the night (it was a d'n'b nite at the late palladium club in sydney) and then i think we said simultaneously... er, why don't we continue this conversation out there, rather than here in the toilets. i'm still very good friends with him, we just have an amusing startup, that's all.

did have a cup of tea and i felt better straight away. that person couldn't handle the whole drug thing... even suggested that i was a dealer preying on other's weaknesses (ie addiction) and exploiting them. unbelievable but true.

Hey, I wouldn't say no... haven't yet picked up on the internet :-)

sumphreak appears again. hehe. Sydney forum outage. prowling about. All my friends for over a decade have been party freaks of one sort or another and real friends too. Club scene is merely a smaller look at social environs that replicate themselves ina larger format everywhere else in the world. U do meet real friends in clubs just as U meet real friends waiting 4 a bus. It just happens less sometimes and more others and is really a direct result of the image ure projecting at the time neway. U look friendly = make friends. U don't = U don't.
