Gettin' It On In Da Club: A Haven for Socially Acceptable Sexual Assault

- Vancouver, British Columbia - Personally, I've never been entirely fond of going out to clubs. Whenever one of my friends would tell me that they were going out for a birthday party and that I should come, I'd find myself desperately hoping that I'd have a scheduling conflict that night. That, or be able to think of an excuse to get out of going, something akin to having to wash my front lawn, since the dirt was getting a bit much amongst the blades of grass. Admittedly, a part of it is that I don't enjoy dressing up when it feels like a competition of some sorts where I'll be judged mercilessly, regardless of the fact that I've never attempted to pick up a woman at a club. Weddings are way more fun to get dressed up for, plus the attention is never really on you to put on a show. Clubs, however, are something entirely different, and a large part of it likely has to do with the fact that it is essentially where human mating ritual seems to be most commonly observed in all of its unpleasant crassness.
