It amazes me....

I'm pretty sure no one is saying not to hit on girls.

It's just don't revolve your trip around it. Your trip should revolve around having fun with your buddies.

Also, I'm not sure why there are people that think the only purpose of going to party is to get laid.

Why is having fun with your boys during the trip, and getting laid at the end of the night (or during the day) mutually exclusive?

Im sure during the course of the trip, you are interacting and having fun with your boys, plenty.

But the thread starter said, something to the effect of, "if it just happens it happens" (hooking up with a girl). Nothing in life ever just "happens", you have to have the mindset to make it happen. If you're going to a sex and alcohol drenched city where you are constantly encompassed by naked women and sexually overt themes --- then you are already committed to hooking up, or at least the idea of which. If you weren't, you wouldnt go there (generally speaking).

Vegas' whole selling point is getting laid. Its like going to Disneyland and saying "under no circumstances do I want to see or interact with a guy in a Goofy costume, or a girl wearing a Snow White costume, nor do I want to ride rides or look like a jackass with mouse ears on"

lol at the game being run on the ladies. More fairytales in here than the Brothers Grimm.

If you think a guy is going to spent hundreds, often thousands of dollars, expend a great amount of effort and time, to arrive in a place 'called the city of sin', whose slogan is 'what happens in vegas stays in vegas', just so he can dance and twirl around with his friend, jimbo, from back home, well.... LOL.

Yeah, sure. Im in a nightclub in vegas where, at 1 o clock in the morning I am surrounded by women ranging from average-to-hot, all damn near half naked...im loaded up on alcohol, red bull, and possibly other substances, with sleazy music pulsating throughout --- now why would I possibly think about hooking up or having sex in such an environment?

Acting nonchalant is simply A STRATEGY, to attract women by appearing non-threatening (or maybe they just dont have any game). The cat that is dancing with his boy and appearing casual has the same mindset that creepy, obnoxious dude has. They're just going about it in a different manner. Sorry to break it to you, but every guy goes to Vegas to get laid.

Another inconsistency is that the ladies in the thread claim to want to meet a nice respectable guy (in vegas of all places), yet its the douchebags that are always winning and rewarded with female attention, from what I see --- go figure.

+1

I'm married now, but back in the day the only point of going to a club was to get girls.

LOL, preach....its THE ONLY REASON. Was then, is now, will be in the future. Funny to hear people try to convince otherwise in this thread, tho. Rationalization.

I do respectfully take issue with this comment:

I have been on this forum SOOO long and I have NEVER heard a girl say "I want to meet my next boyfriend in Vegas." I have seen girls wanting men to be polite. Also, I am not sure how one could even know WHAT or WHO any of the girls on this site "reward."

Anyway, I totally DO agree that Vegas clubs are full of guys and girls looking to hook up. I just think it is a shame when at the end of the night I have to listen to someone complain about the lack of hooking up rather than just enjoying the crazy night we had and the company of friends.

I was just talking about the inconsistency in the girls in this thread saying they want to meet polite guys, and the behavior that is rewarded in Vegas, and in nightclubs in particular. The nice guys are not winning in Vegas.

what girls....or even guys for that matter, say they want on a message board and how they react in a nightclub are two different things.

Im not trying to speak for every female here, just going by evidence and the actual results of different behaviors. Vegas sells sleaze and sex, even the high end nightclubs, make no mistake.

I agree! Sleaze and Sex and Fun is a big part of vegas. But it really shouldn't stop you from enjoying down time with your friends or stopping in somewhere and playing beer pong and goofing around with your buddies.

I can say I have had the pleasure to talk, and get to know many of the girls from this site and even party with them. My point is no one can make a sweeping statement about what they "reward" as no one can have really any idea. I think most girls would like guys to be polite just so we feel safe. I'm not asking guys to throw their jacket on a puddle, I'm just asking guys not to reach up my skirt as I walk by. Also, the chicks on this site don't hold back (read the TR's!!!)

I agree nice guys often lose out though. It's Vegas and most people are looking for a fun night and not really looking for someone to meet their folks. Often times the loud and brash are the ones who get attention. Its like peacocks!

Either way, when your in Vegas with your friends and someone is ONLY interested in hooking up, it feels like a chore to be around them.

Simple. Self Control =) And just because I'm married doesn't mean that I can't go to Vegas to gamble, see shows, get drunk, etc. Have you been to WI? This place sucks. No real nightlife to speak of.

Instead of going to 'corn-fest' I'll be at the clubs doing BS, having fun, and making new friends, of both sexes. After all, that's what Vegas is about... fun =)

I think we should agree to disagree... and drink to it! =) (I'm always up for a reason to do shots!)

We get 2 weekends a year - Miflin and Halloween... but seriously Wisconsin is pretty awful.

[BOLLO]

Well for the record I think women are just as bad as men when it comes to hooking up. Only difference is, when a dude gets drunk and wants to hook-up he'll lower his standards to a "you'll do" attitude in the name of gettin a$$. When we get drunk and want to hook up we'd rather just go to bed or binge at a cafe then end up in bed with some dude we're not that physically attracted to. We're not as willing to bend (no pun intended) our standards just for the hell of gettin some.

It's just don't revolve your trip around it. Your trip should revolve around having fun with your buddies.

Why is having fun with your boys during the trip, and getting laid at the end of the night (or during the day) mutually exclusive?

Im sure during the course of the trip, you are interacting and having fun with your boys, plenty.

But the thread starter said, something to the effect of, "if it just happens it happens" (hooking up with a girl). Nothing in life ever just "happens", you have to have the mindset to make it happen. If you're going to a sex and alcohol drenched city where you are constantly encompassed by naked women and sexually overt themes --- then you are already committed to hooking up, or at least the idea of which. If you weren't, you wouldnt go there (generally speaking).

Vegas' whole selling point is getting laid. Its like going to Disneyland and saying "under no circumstances do I want to see or interact with a guy in a Goofy costume, or a girl wearing a Snow White costume, nor do I want to ride rides or look like a jackass with mouse ears on"

I take it you're never going to Vegas once you're married then? I feel bad for you.

Hell na! Im gettin' all of my shit out of the way now. We might go as a couple and do the whole shows and dinner routine, but im not going with my boys on a vegas trip.

But for now....

"ONLY" being the keyword here. This thread started on the subject of "basing your trip around hooking up" but ended up going a little off tangent/out of context.

I think he got you on this one amigo!



Seriously though, I think nobody is trying to pull the wool over your eyes RTC. People just go to Vegas for different reasons, under different circumstances and have different mindsets when going out.

Now, do I think any single guy would turn down a female that was DTF in a club given the conditions you've previously mentioned? HELL NO! haha

Ahahahahah let's see... being faced with some ugly guy you didn't want to get with or going to a cafe and going crazy on fried food and sweets....hmmmm....pass the fork...

Hi Warren!!!!
