It's raining men! Oh, boy.
The couple times I've actually tried to get into an exclusive club or bar, I got past the velvet rope only if I had a group of girls along.
No girls, no entry.
It's the two-chicks-for-every-dude rule. When turned away, it only made me want in a little more, 'cause I knew hotties waited inside.
What if it was even?
At the freakonomics blog, there's a description of a woman who was refused from the club.
They wanted to let more guys in.
I disagree, even though I'm one of those duffs who doesn't have the wallet or Brad Pitt looks to get in to those places.
If I have to bring girl-friends along to make my chances of getting in easier, that only makes my chances of getting a date easier once inside.
And I can let the other dudes buy them drinks. My buddy once said, "Before 11, you're buying drinks for another man, anyway."
What do you think? Make the clubs more even, or keep the status quo?

From a woman's perspective, the uneven ratio of guys to girls at local clubs is just irritating.
I'm not going out to meet other girls. And I'm not really in the mood to compete with 12 other women for the one mediocre guy the bouncers let in during the past 20 minutes.
Every time I've been to Heaven or the N Club downtown, I'm surrounded by other women. That's great if you just want to dance without being groped, but if you're interested in meeting someone, the odds aren't so hot.

I don't have the looks or the wallet either. Never stopped me from lying and acting the part though! Now if you are going to one club in particular that has a certain door lady who always seems to have an attitude, your frustration is the same as other guys in town. This one door lady has an issue with almost any guy who walks through the door. She was hell bent on not letting me in until the owner saw me. She does this to almost every guy I've talked to. That may be a reason for the male to female ratio there.

I think you're going to the wrong place to find a date. At places like what you've described, you only get what you pay for.
I also think those clubs ought to start charging more for their cover and drinks. If they have the ability to turn away patrons, of either sex, they're not very business savvy.
