Unfortunately, whichever way you look at it, it's a numbers issue. You need to keep the numbers in some kind of proportion based on the event. The simplest way to do this is price, although I'd love to see instead some kind of "dickhead test", but I'm not sure how you'd impliment it.... | |||

"hi all, i'm about to open a hornets nest. i would like to debate the efforts single guys go through to enter clubs. i know the issues faced by guys from being a single guy at clubs for the last thirteen years and being on the other end of the spectrum by working in a club for two years. my debate is, its sexist. in a whole new world of equality were else in world could you say men pay x amount and women x amount. " Car insurance " if you went to watch take that in concert would you have to pay prices based on your sex! also couples, with gay marriage now legal, would two guys who are attached turned up on a couples only night would they be refused entry? also how would you ask them to prove it and if you did this wouldn't you have to do this for every couple? just to answer the obvious question that i'm a bitter single guy, your right but you got to admit its a good debate issue!!

"The dating/relationship scene is biased against men? Do explain....." Most women dating get hundreds of offers. Most men dating face a struggle. Women generally hold the power and decide on dates, sexual contact, relationships etc. Generally speaking. Sexually, women can generally get as much as they want. Even the fat ones. Most men can't. Personally I do ok, but have seen many male friends struggle, yet virtually no female friends struggle. If women prefer tall men that's "preference". If men prefer thin women they are "shallow". Then you've got the expectation of men to pay for dates. The expectation of men to propose. And provide. And defend. Going forwards into the realms of divorce, child custody etc it's all stacked in womens favour again. That's just off the top of my head. Like virtually all areas of life, women have the priveledge. "You do know that "male privelidge" means, don't you?" It's a myth in this day and age. Same as white priveledge. | |||

"You can have equal prices for all without loosing control of numbers/ratios of singles to couples of all descriptions. Most clubs or events have guests list which are managed by selected individuals or you can set the numbers automatically if they are doing it through something like eventbite. It is all too easy to use the stereotypes in the swinging scene to make sure you make a profit - which is the primary goal of clubs and events. So, price hiking on single fellas isn't much of an issue on their part: Guys will turn up regardless. Either because they are genuine and want to engage in the scene, they want to meet up with friends at the club or they are the pussy hounds that everyone thinks they are. Yes, there are very rude, aggressive fellas out there. But this stereotype genuinely needs to be addressed and properly as it isn't fair on the rest of us who can actually thinking, put sentences together or are able to excise self control. (There are other stereotypes out there that need to be knocked on the head too, not just single males, but that's for another day I think). " Totally agree | |||

" I honestly don't know what planet you live on. I don't struggle for dates. I'm not expected to pay when I do have them, the bill is generally split or taken in turns. I have my preferences - its how you express them possibly. Are men expected to provide? I have only been married once, and it was an equal partnership. Protect? possibly, but in a physical way, women are expected to protect in an emotional one. Defend? from what? I'm sure we haven't been invaded in my lifetime. Women ceertainly do not have the privelidge, the balance is slowly being redressed, but we are not yet near equality. | |||

"Unfortunately the government drafted equality laws that has get outs for private clubs, allowing them to operate in ways that other businesses organisations would be rightly penalised for. Many years after laws were introduced we now see that there is a two tier system of equality - full and none, depending on which type of organisation that you do business with. If the law was different, we would see clubs comply with it - I hope! Will we get change in that direction - probably in quite a few years Imo. Sometimes laws change before society is fully accepting and ready - otherwise it can be in reverse. The solution for everything is certainly not lots of laws being created or enforced - but equality laws have been effective at helping to pull a society with lots of hostile views into a more tolerant one, though as a supportive element amongst others. How clubs would operate, price and succeed in an equal pricing environment is another big question. " I've already offered the solution - a "dickhead test"... | |||

No, they wouldnt, as it is political correctness, another example was a christian hotel, they got sued just cos they said no." It is not 'political correctness'; it is the law; the same kind of laws which permit you to stay in this country Le Boudoir permit male-male couples who are in a civil partnership, on a couples only night. Thy say so on thier website Whether they would want to on a night were the majority are heterosexual couples or women, is another matter; but the choice is theirs | |||

I've talked before about the idea of a swingers club attached to a regular night club, like a VIP area. The regular club goers go in to the night club and, if you "pull", the "couple" can go through to the playrooms for a nominal fee. If you don't, at least you haven't had to fork out the inflated single male prices to get in in the first place and still had a night out with your mates. | |||
