Clubbing Alone???

Not advocating going anywhere alone i just think folks need to learn to use common sense and/or not get so fucked up. i've got 4 sisters who go out regularly and have never witnessed nor had anything happen to them or any of their friends. I know many, many people in the hospitality & law enforcement industries all over the world, who seem utterly convince that 90% (and i stress not all) cases are a result of people not being careful :\

I brought my fire retarded pants so flame on 8(
 
^ I wouldn't like to put a figure on it, but I agree with the general point.
Another important point is that in the UK in a study done over a 3 county area, there were (from memory) 73 reported cases of people being spiked. These were all tested and something like 10 of them were found to have something else in their system than alcohol. That's not many and suggests that a large number of people who think they've been spiked have just drunk too much.
 
Could whatever the drink had been 'spiked' with have left the body by the point they were tested? Or perhaps be something that was not tested for?
 
I think its a possibility some of the time that people think that their drink has been spiked may be the result of drinking a type of alcohol they're not used to (tequila instead of wine, long island iced teas instead of vodka) which results in a different type of feeling drunk, accidental interactions with medication they're taking, drinking on an empty stomach.

They have those tester strips you can by at the pharmacy that you can stick in your drink if you suspect it has been spiked. I wonder if they are used much.

It's possible, but this was a study specifically trying to ascertain how prevalent drink spiking really was, so a wide range of tests was performed. I'll try and dig out the study.
 
I would go out by myself 80-90% of the time. Due to a combination of a breastfeeding wife and older friends who curl up with cocoa and Hot Dogs quizz every weekend my clubbing friends are limited.

To be honest I actually prefer it. Meet mostly safe, interesting people and there is never a risk of suddenly being dragged to another venue just as you find your groove on the dance floor.

I never have been rejected by a door bitch/butch because of one friend who has those hound dog eyes but is otherwise is a non threat. Obviously I choose venues that are compatible with random strangers handing out chewie and my social skills are not strong enough with alcoholic lubrication alone.

While I feel for solo females, to be honest you are not as great a risk from sexual predators as I am from random acts of violence. It may be a valley thing but I do feel more vulnerable from random bashing without some sort of wing man (or women). Particularly if I have to find a quiet spot for a j to get me through 2 hr cab rank;)
 
I would never go clubbing alone, simply because im a girl and i think its way to dangerous.
Going to a different room or to see a different dj by yourself is ok, because you know people arent too far away.
But going to a club, being at a club and going home at night alone, not smart, not safe.
 
I went to an event on the weekend alone because none of my friends were interested in the music. Ive done it a handful of times before almost always soberish though and usually strictly for the music and the dancing. Drinking or drugging are almost always best done with your friends I reckon.

^ Its a shame that theres always the saftey issues though, I know even as a guy theres the danger of getting bashed or whatever.

I remember a few years back I was walking home alone from the city in the early morning and this old seedy guy pulls up and asks if I want a lift. He was dressed in some grimy trackies and had clearly not been out that night. He was just cruising around offering lifts to young men...
 
Love going out by myself and dancing!!! My only gripe is the "are you a cop?" I can get. So, as long as there are none of these q's then yes, I can have a gr8 nite clubbiing by myself.

These days I know shit loads of people in the scene from the times I used to go out by myself. So even if I was to out by myself I run into old part time friends anyway :D

That about sums it up for me. I ran a lot of places in the scene for 10+ years, so whilst most of my real friends are over it big time, if I ever feel the need to strap the dancing shoes back on, I'm never really alone (ahhhh feel the love!! ;) )
 
I used to think of it as a bit sad... But going out clubbing in the rave scene melbourne i know everyone in the club so i don;t feel sad.. The thing is when i go to these clubs with friends i never hang around them anyway so there really is no point going with them
 
I used to all the time, it's nice to have a base to make contact with during the night if ya mates are out, but I usually want to just dance anyways, so I would go out, dance, make those three best friends for the night and then go home :)
 
I don't think i have unless i knew i was meeting people later while out. Then again i'm not a clubby kind of girl. Once i discovered doofs i never wanted to set foot in a club again. I like hanging out on dirt dancefloors and with people who know they are not perfect rather than plastic people who think they are. Oooooo look at me - i'm getting so judgemental in my old age ;)
 
Can't say I'm probably self confident enough to go out clubbing by myself. Generally I'll go out with one or two mates. It's normally better with two though because if someone picks up you still have a wingman.
