assumtions from meat market

well i was just in enhanced and realised a very important fact about our lovely down town. actually a couple, so im going to list them now, to save me from writing paragraph ontop of paragraph, then losing my point

1 if ur a girl (not sure about the guys) to become intoxicated is not very costly at all. guys are willing to buy girls drinks, with no strings attatched. i havent been there recently, but when i was 16 (thats when i sampled the viaduct) i could just stand by a bar ready to order a drink and a dumb ass drunk would offer to pay, even though i clearly tell the guy i wont b going back to his table with him.

2 i also noticed (and this is my main point) that the drunker u r, the more guys want to buy u drinks. "get the lassy off her knocker then take her home to shag if she's gone enough"

shows how low some will go. once while i was down there some guy grabbed my arm and wouldnt let go as i was walking through the crowd. punched the dick in the nose (that'll teach him to mess with renaissancer).

ok just before i go, dont slag me off because i've been there. if u've got no one to tell u bout n e thing, then u have to experience it urself. im sure everyone's been down there, but this isnt a thread to hear whether u have or havent. its to list the lovely qualities that the viaduct holds

enough said

yeah free drinks... they're all good *especially if the drinks are blue*
it's all about having trustworthy friends... psh, they are so untrustworthy sometimes *thinks about the time they left her stranded with 3 super dodgy guys in a car park*

that is all.

aims

It's kinda sad really, the state of it.... I used to go down to Leftfield quite a bit 'cuz I got cheap drinks and didn't have to wait in line, bonus And K Rd was kinda intimidating :p

Another factor in this you seem to have omitted is this:
A lot of women actualy go out expecting to be bought drinks all night, I am not refering to one or two here people, I'm talking LOADS - so, is it cool to go out anywhere with the express intention of USING men simply because by the forces of nature they are led around by there natural need to procreate?
Did you not suggest yourself that you would infact accept a free drink from a total stranger with absolutely no intention of even `returning to his table'- of which I can asume you mean you would accept his generosity (for whatever reason) without even offering conversation?
It is difficult to accept a complaint about a situation that has actually been created by the peple that are complaining.
Easy realy, don't want the attention - say no thankyou. Don't blame a man for wanting to try, its the nature of the beast, and unfortunately the lower levels of this beast do tend to hang around bars like the ones on the water front - heres the thing though, it obviously works sometimes for these lads, otherwise why would they do it?

PS. what were you doing hanging at bars being bought free drinks when you were 16?

take responsability for your self.

I used to hang out in bar when I was 16.. brought my own drink but.

Can I buy you a drink Dave? *wink*

But I agree with Ferksta. Don't take the drink if you don't care about the person offering. It isn't rude, anything can be delivered politely. Right on Ferksta

Yeah, You can buy me a drink.. But, if your a complete stranger.. and I have no intention of talking to you, then it would seem weird.

However, I sure as hell shout a round or two with my friends.. and I'll buy for my friends friends too. Nothing sexual about it.

(BTW I blame my SHOCKING spelling in my posts like above on a tiny little laptop keyboard)

Actually, I'll carry on there. Reminds me of a story when I was out one night.. there were about 6 of us, I knew all the guys, but I didn't really know the girls that came too.. I'd just got paid so I shouted a few rounds ya know?.. (IT has its benefits).

After a while, my friend came up to me and said.. "Are you trying to score one of those girls?".. I was like "What the hell gave you that idea?", and he replied "Well its just your buying them drinks". First thing that went through my head " ?!? "... and then I replied "Well I'm buying you drinks too! Do you think I'm trying to score you?.. Do you want me to stop buying you drinks?".. Being the student that he is he sorta went "...err ..ummm nah don't worry.. just wondering".

Sigh.. I guess its all in Redbeasts book!

i think its polite to buy a girl a drink, but i never expect anything apart from a thankyou. Starts with a convasation and its nice to offer something, my Dad always told me it shows your apreication of the lady. Old fashion i know

Drinking is a wonderful social tool, but getting someone tanked up to get her into bed is so low, how do you look yourself in the mirror and still add it to your 'how many i fucked' list SAD!

Exprience the feeling of getting a girl to like you on the merits of your personality or appearance. Its the shit, and it makes you feel wicked

But the viaduct has other problems then sleeziness, theres the odd ocassion theres (what am i saying, theres always) people who have to say something racist to me. Its scary and fucks me off. I know its the alochol talking but i expect none of it up K'Rd or Raves. Thanks guys

Im over it, and hope the place falls into the whalf. Build a Seaworld i say

Jass

Haha Jass man you sound nice

'The S is for Success!'


But yeah sometimes you just wanna give a girl something, appreciation of the lady is a good way to put it - Just wish the ladies would start appreciating the boys more than they do! Some girls are pretty marshall to guys!!!

What really gets me is when somebody demands that you buy them a drink. When it happens I can help but laugh in their face. Some people...

The Cross: How many times has that happened. Funny thing is i do I dont wanna be rude and really bad at saying no. Shit, im a push over

Dr.J: Cheers mate, i think i saw you At Kiss Friday night. If it was you, you seemed off ya rocker, or maybe it was me. Crazy night

In a good way Dr. J

Jass ive had it happen 3 times at Leftfield, and a few times at the hog. Never really go there just when I get dragged along with friends who are not so into the k-rd scene. Shit music, dumb drunks, hence why I dont go anymore.

At least they could ask, not demand that I buy them a drink. Sheeze!!!

Hoi! I wasn't that bad!


I just dig my music is all


You make me sound like a fruit! Cunt!

ferksta, i would refuse the drink at first from a guy. the he'd strike up conversation n e way, or usually. if he's still quite persistant in buying it, then y the hell not??? if someone offered u a free drink with nothing in return, wouldnt u take it??

Yeah well theres nothing worse than using bitches who scxab drinks off guys

Word. I agree with those who have denounced chicks who scab drinks with no intention of even offering idle conversation, but probably aren't in much of a situation to do so, seeing I don't drink, so don't usually get in a situation to buy a chick a drink anyway.

Having said that, my opposition is probably due to the fact that if I was a chick (which I'm not, incidentally) I'd be worried that a guy might get agro if I scabbed drinks and then snubbed him completely.

I suppose that's what friends are for (protection)?

I have a leftfield card - hehehehe - no ques and cheap drinks. Ahhhh those were the days. Anybody wanna buy/trade it.

nice way of putting it morpheus.

But the way 'morpheus' is a really good program to download your mp3's people. Check it out guys. Dont know the address, but stick it in your search.

oh boy the wrestlings on

i'd just like to say that i didnt scab drinks!!!! to scab is to try and get something ie a drink out of someone. they were offered to me!!!!!! i chatted a while at the bar with them, then went on my merry way.

i must say though this thread is heading towards the topic of another thread that was up on the old boards. titled "crack whores". scabbing free drugs is something u guys should bitch about. a drink cost $5, a pill is $65, dont need to be a genius to see work out which is worse

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must aquit...

Look at the monkey.

I must admit i like it when guys buy me drinks - but i will sure sit down and have a chat to them cause i won't accept a drink unless i'm half interested in getting to know the person better - on the flip side i buy guys drinks too. :o)

such a PC leopard

Renaissancer - no I wouldn't if I had no desire to know them.
Missleopard - Oh so PC, would we expect anything else from you? I think not.

Personaly where I was going with my line earlier is this, what has happened to the art af dating? - cellphones have all but destroyed the art of converstaion, cars - walking, porn - making love, no it seems alcohol and drugs have led people to for get just how to get to know each other properly & date - hence perhaps (along with the many other preasures of life these days) the amount of broken relationships.

Was that too deep? - maybe I need a drink? - can I buy you one?

himmmmm interesting debate.
i never buy drinks ..
1 coz i dont drink
2 dont like drunk ppl
3 find it silly to pay so much $$ for so little liquid.
4 dont like drunk ppl

and i would have to aggree with JASS getting a girl interested in the real YOU is so much better than here waking up in the morning and screeming OH fuck you are you, sort of thing. ( ps. not from personal experience). one night stands are just for people who are emotionaly brain dead.( or pissed same thing )

well i dont drink either, and never woke up in the morning and started screaming, but i know i wont want to, but have mates who do that every weekend bloody pizz heads, i tell them to get a life hehe ...... and hey sometimes one night stands come in handy not much but hey us single people get lonely u know

Ferks - was the PC thing sarcastic?

leopard lost

One night stands all bad - BAD BAD BAD

missleopard... thought you were a good girl.. no one nite stands... hehehehehe theyre not always bad, sometimes good to have one now and then lol

got to agree with Ferksta... It'funny when EXPECT drinks to be brought for them all night.

I was out in Parnell a few weeks ago (it was BAD, and NEVER again) and I overheard a barbie-doll complaining to her girlfriend that she hadn't been brought one drink all night and was thirsty! hahaha

The ones that demand a drink from you are the ones that you fuck with. "Give me one good reason why I should but you that drink" put them on the spot! See if they can answer, of if they will get embarrised and think twice next time...

A girl with spunk that offers me a drink always gets extra brownie points for confidence and charisma.

I agree with Ferksta too, that the art of dating
and romance has somewhat died, BUT, It does
mean that when you choose to make an effort to
call, or visit or be romantic, that it really counts.

Plus its so easy to strike up a conversation/flirt
over txt mssging.

Thats Why the art of dating and romance has died graphite because its so easy to strike up a conversation/flirt thru txt messaging cause ppl are losing face to face communication skills beacuse of such technologies like this!

Phunky, baby, I will lend you my book. It's ok.

Missleopard - No darlin, I wasn't being sarcastic - I seem to remember the respect you have given me regarding the age issue @ velvet..
peace.

Lend me that book... so I can destroy it! hahahaha!

okay just a couple of things...
-MissLeopard, are u saying u would turn down the opportunity of a one night stand with me if I bought you a drink?? Perhaps instead you are saying you want ot get to know me better? maybe im just dreamin? hee-hee
-Ferksta, you can buy me a drink no make it two.
-I am willing to show anyone that the art of romancing and indeed lovemaking have not been lost... come on, dont be silly, we know that aint true! Perhaps it is those that have lost the art, that are indeed lost themselves. har-har...
Okay one last thing...
-The Viaduct, the only thing its good for is its sheer LACK of class. (except maybe SPy and Coast) But its FUNNY! You can still have a good time, you just have to get as shitfaced as everyone else and pretend that Bon Jovi and G&R are still your favourite bands (okay im taking bout Provedor here).
