Cockblocking is a slang term for an intentional action aimed at preventing someone from having sexual intercourse with another. A cockblock, or cockblocker, is a person who engages in such obstruction or intervention. Why do girls cockblock though? Women travel in packs. When one is in need of assistance, another will provide her with help; “Girl I got your back!” (Please note I am not from the ghetto). Therefore boys, if she doesn’t want you, prepare to face the wrath of her cake-faced girlfriends.
When we think of nightclubs, we think insanely fast doosh doosh music, pumping full blast to the point our ears bleed. The type of music where peeps breakdance and twerk and do all sorts of crazy moves that have to be seen to be believed. So it’s quite bizarre when you hear fast, remixed versions of slow, sad songs made to become hardcore party songs.
“Hey, what’s your number? I will hit you up some time.” That classic line is much too common to some women, however, women continue to give men a ‘phone number’ even though they have no intention of sleeping with him, let alone texting him! Therefore, women have resorted to a tactic that seems to ease their conscience and at the same time portray eagerness.
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.
We all know that Australia reaches ridiculous heat in the summer time. Nights are muggy and hot and nightclubs are worse with sweat dripping from every part of the human body. It’s almost impossible to keep cool when clubbing in summer, but we sure as hell are going to try.
I’m not sure how many of us can truly say we ‘remember’ our initiation into the nightclub scene, but a lot of us would agree that we found the chaotic atmosphere of pumping fists and paralytic aggression a lot more intimidating than we do now. The city awash with scrapping dudes and sloppy gals at 3am is certainly an eye opener and when you’ve missed the nightrider and lost your phone the daunting sensation of your first-time comes flooding back.
Often when you go out with a group of buddies, there’s usually one person who won’t be drinking that night, or at least not too much. While it’s of course their choice to drink or not to drink, do they have to act so arrogant about it? Seriously, whenever I’m drinking and someone isn’t drinking, it makes my drinking less fun and makes me look like the bad guy.
With mass events looming such as Christmas parties and family gatherings, end of year birthdays and New Years Eve celebrations, there are going to be a few of you that get left with the disappointed friend favour of being designated driver. Unfortunately, everyone has to do it once in a while and whether it means having a couple of drinks or none at all for all you P platers, there are some benefits of being designated driver. When I say some I mean very few.
Starting a brand new business must be so nerve wracking, easily one of the most stressful things a person can do. Putting all this cash you’ve gotten from various investors and sources (not to mention out of your own pocket!), everyone wants to make sure the business is going to be successful. But if your new business happens to be a nightclub, there is so much more than money to consider.
Stephen Merchant, British comedic actor and co-creator of The Office, has recently created and starred on another hit TV show called Hello Ladies, where his character Stuart lives in Los Angeles hoping to meet the woman of his dreams, provided she’s a gorgeous supermodel who by proxy makes him the cool dude he only wishes he could be. I didn’t get into this show straight away, but after a few episodes, I got sucked in.
