Hawaiian shirts: the fashion trend taking over the nightclub world. Or is it?
Personally, I’m more partial to a party dress than a party top on a night out, but upon talking to a guy friend (and occasional Hawaiian shirt wearer himself), I realised that there are actually some unspoken rules about when and where it’s appropriate to wear your oh so flamboyant Hawaiian top.
Ever woken up in the morning and remembered the utterly embarrassing drunken things you blurted out the night before? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. Drunken rants often put the way we REALLY feel about things out in the open - which can be a good or bad thing.
Clubbing expectation: A cute guy/girl bumps into you at the bar. Flirty chit-chat is had over a few drinks, followed by dancing. You make out for the rest of the night.
Clubbing reality: A guy/girl bumps into you at the bar. Whilst they talk about their stamp collection, you pretend to listen while thinking of an escape route. They stalk you all night.
Guys: I’ll let you in on a little secret. When it comes to picking up in clubs, girls often try just as hard as guys do. You’re probably reading this and thinking, yeah right. But it’s true. Take it from a girl - often we’re just as keen to strike up a conversation with the opposite sex as you are.
Tearing up the dance floor is the main ingredient for awesome partying. But let’s face it, it’s sweaty stuff. No girl wants to talk to a guy that smells like he hasn’t had a shower in two weeks. While deodorant generally helps mask the smell of B.O as a result of strenuous twerking on the dance floor, a good aftershave really adds an advantage when it comes to chatting up that hottie at the bar.
There is nothing more annoying when you’re keen to let loose on a night out, but there’s that one friend who’s always wearing that I’d-rather-be-anywhere-but-here expression. It always puts a downer on the evening when one friend doesn’t seem to be having any fun. So ladies and gents, here’s how to keep your friend out past 10pm and have a wicked night!
You meet a girl in a bar on a Saturday night and really hit it off. You talk for a while and think she might be into you, so you bite the bullet and ask for her number. After waiting the mandatory three days (you don’t want to seem too desperate), you call her. She answers and you say, “How are you going, cutie?”
