There have been many crazy theories about love and attraction throughout the years from whether girls like being treated like crap by guys to whether a silly pick up line will impress a woman enough for her to sleep with you. Another big one is whether two completely different people can be a perfect match for one another. Many people believe this to be the case, but can opposites really attract?
A casual conversation may seem effortless with the girls and the topics are very generic, but when it comes to the guys, having a chat at the pub, there is a lot more depth to their conversations.
Society nowadays deems smokers as idiots and smoking as a horrible habit, so even at nightclubs smokers are like social pariahs. Sunday July 1st 2007 was the day smoking was banned in bars and nightclubs Australia wide, and what a horrific day it was for smokers, while simultaneously being a joyous day for non-smokers.
About to head out for a big night and then suddenly realise you’ve been to the same club every Saturday for the past couple of months? Feeling fed up of drinking the same drinks and seeing the same faces? The bar and club scene blues happen to all of us. But one of the best cures is simply to get a change of scenery and have a drink or two somewhere else!
A recent study by VicHealth and RMIT University concluded that there are four types of drinkers out there (or at least in Victoria). Embodying Australia’s huge drinking culture, it comes as no surprise that not only are there a lot of drinkers in Oz, but drinkers can be categorised into subgroups. Yep, us Aussies certainly love slowly destroying our livers.
Having lived in South West Sydney my whole life, it has come to my attention that local nightspots are becoming increasingly popular and popping up, especially in Campbelltown. Not to say I’m disappointed. With renovations and redecorating, the local spots in the South West are crowded and happening, especially on Thursday and Friday nights.
Whenever it’s late October or early November, Melbournians all of a sudden take a huge interest in horse racing. It’s amazing that for people who for the most part couldn’t care less about a bunch of horses going round a big grassy circle, they suddenly feel the need to dress up in their best clothes, or even buy new clothes just for this occasion. This phenomenon is what we in Melbourne call Spring Carnival.
When foreign travellers visiting our shores ruminate the national characteristics of Australia, drinking and partying is often featured towards the top of the list. This observation seems accurate as many of us enjoy the chaotic auditorium that is the nightlife scene and the boozing that goes along with it.
Being a guy, I shouldn’t be admitting I’ve even heard of the movie Mean Girls, which is one of the quintessential chick flick of the ’00s. But I bring it up because there’s a part where said girls are getting ready for a Halloween party and Lindsay Lohan comments that Halloween is the one time of the year a girl can dress like a total slut and other girls can’t say anything about it (something that Lohan took up 365 days of the year in real life!).
After having numerous DJs plug their music to the folks at Budweiser to try and become the biggest thing in DJing since David Guetta, now’s your chance to decide who’s the best of the best. We all had to vote for Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott earlier this year, so why not vote for something you actually care about? The future of party music is at stake here!
