Clubbing and drinking always seems to raise the age old question: is it okay to hook up with your friends? You’re mates; it’s a bit of fun or a last resort, but is it okay to do this or should you stick to snogging strangers (even if they are less acceptable than your mate)?
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.
“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.
Strippers have to just about be be the greatest actresses in the world, worthy of winning the Best Actress Oscar. They have to look great, have charisma, be toned, and most of all, make it believable that she’s actually interested in you so she can get your money. This would naturally make many men think they have no chance in hell of picking a stripper up and taking her home for an actual private “dance”.
Though many consider pick up lines to be lame and old fashioned, they’re still used and get mixed reactions, usually ones of laughter at the guy’s expense. But pick up lines are more likeable, or at least slightly less sleazy, when there’s a theme to it. Christmas time is a happy time of year, one that puts everyone in high spirits. With Christmas cheer in the air, such enthusiasm will increase a guy’s confidence to chat up girls.
Tis the season to be jolly, and by jolly I mean drunk and stupid. Over the year, you’ve flirted with that hottie at work, and they may have even flirted back. Unless you two have progressed already at some point between January and November, December is when you can finally make something happen.
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.
With so many different dance moves trending, it’s hard to know what moves you should keep in your pocket for that special night of flowing alcohol, allowable groping and anticipated beat drops. Twerking, Jerking, Shuffling, Yiking, to Dougie or to Gabber? Sometimes the classics are your best bet. They’re simple, take little effort and are do-able in heels. Not everyone can shake it like a rednose.
Everyone loves a bit of fun on their night out, and I personally find this totally acceptable. Keep the drinks flowing and the lights off and get drunk and dance. Do whatever drugs you want, blah blah, we’re young, you know the drill. Yeah, going out is great. But come on boys, how fucked are you when you’re talking to a girl? You’ve gotta be smart if you’re too drunk and pick one that is also too drunk so she won’t care what you’re saying.
