The Night Culture

So can you teach me how to Dougie? Will you give me some pointers on how to be a player? I guess the answer is not tonight. So what exactly makes us different at night? I think that perhaps our clothes, liquid confidence, demeanor and moves make that difference. 

Every Saturday night there is a culture that builds up in every night club around America. The smoky room with the dim lights and the loud music changes everything. People dress up, they take their pay and they all go into a club. Everyone has a sort of plan, some go alone , some go in groups and most go on an expedition. If you work out the ladies will crave you, if you have a large wad of cash, they will follow you, and if you have that personality they will definitely sleep with you. This is the culture of the night and it doesn't matter what night either. So what exactly is this night culture like? 

Men come into a club in groups looking for a few ladies to seduce on a specific night. There are ladies that will come in looking for an idiot to pay for their drinks and then there is the guy or gal that could not give a rat's ass. The way these groups stand apart is a simple science that's related to space and space alone. The group of "players" is not afraid to take their credit cards and pay for drinks until a lovely lady decides to say thank you or come up to the "winner's" table. There is that group of badass MMA types you just don't want to mess with. The MMA types are not actual fighters but their steroid infused bodies would make you guess otherwise. So then this is the night culture, an image we dare not disturb for our own sake. 

Night culture is the escape of the very insecure and the very ignorant. There is something about the vociferous balding guy that makes you sad. There is something about the old mad that makes you cringe with shame as you watch. The night culture also has the lovely but jaded bar tender girl: the one you want to make love to, the one you want to marry, the girl of your dreams. The culture makes it impossible for you to have that girl in the bar because she is off limits to your desire. The songs start up and the world briefly changes for you. 

There is that song that makes you feel like you own the place, you like to party rock and show everyone that you are sexy and you do know it. There is always some sort of song that makes everyone in the culture come together for a period of minutes. The night culture becomes predictable to all of us at some point. There is an in place in the culture and an out place in the culture of night. There are places that are in one day and out the next but in the end it's al the same in the night culture. The night culture will have the dancer, schemer, sex fiend, loner, group star, poser and jester. The night culture is a predictable and never changing friend, it only gets older.
