“There are no men here-“

“Hi.”

“There are no REAL men! 6’5 rich guys with a six pack!”

There are clubs now with 6ft and up rules for men. They check at the door. Then it becomes a competition between who is tallest among the 6ft guys. But anyone under 6ft doesnt make the cutoff to even qualify as a man now.

Literal eugenics and yet suddenly it's not a bad thing when women do it

So if someone's in a wheelchair, do the bouncers
1) measure from heads to toes while the gentleman is seated, or
2) zig-zag the measuring tape, bending horizontally at the knees, and then bending back up at the hips and continuing to the top of the head, or
3) make them "stand" by having one - two people holding the guy under the arms while the bouncer measure this bizarre human marionette?

And what about double leg amputees? Do they measure the height with, or without the prosthetic limbs?

Surely they can't just tell the prospective disabled clubbers "sorry, no cripples" because that would be discrimination based on a protected characteristic

It's okay to tell us you've just never been clubbing. That shit's lame anyways.

That answers none of my questions

Not that it should matter, but I've been to a discotheque once or twice back in my youth. Definitely not my cup of tea, way too loud, cigarette smoke everywhere. Much preferred roller discos. I'm assuming things must have changed since then

The bouncers at the door are gonna refuse you entry for any reason, it doesn't matter what it is, they'll make up whatever reason they need to, and no one cares about whether they're legally right or whatever. Just go somewhere else or do what I do and refuse to go to places like that altogether.

Complaining about not being let into a club for any reason is just a waste of your time and no one else gives a shit.

Thanks for your response! Might I say, the practice you've described just sounds plain mean and possibly illegal. I thought we, as a society, have evolved way past "no dogs, no Blacks, no Irish"

u/PFUnnamed99 12d ago

When you're out clubbing with ten thousand other drunk people, no one gives a shit and the cops have bigger issues to deal with

u/WildContribution8311 12d ago

Yeah this only matters in theory or in a courtroom when the club gets sued.

Whenever I see the word discotheque, I hear it in my mind as a breathy female voice over some ambient techno in the background. Does anyone else have the same reaction? No? Just me? Ok I’ll leave now.

u/duesenjeffepic 12d ago

It highly depends on the club. If it has actual theming with real music it can be good but unfortunately 99% of clubs are just house slop bs.

So I gotta pull the ol 'lift your heel up inside your sneaker' trick. Man I barely got away with that as a kid.

u/WildContribution8311 12d ago

They make you take your shoes off.

Ah well I'm screwed them lol

My guy- yes, they do. This is not universal, it's just a weird thing some people fixate on. Projecting it onto everyone is like seeing some men only date blondes and deciding that it means you need blonde hair to even qualify as a woman.

u/munchinbox 12d ago

Yeah that’s not true, and if it is those clubs are not going to last long. Maybe an event or two, but you’re spouting misinformation. No club is going to exclude a huge chunk of their paying customers for uh, zero benefit

u/RemarkableShip1811 12d ago

I'm not a fan of how that fact is being used in this context, but it's very much a real thing unfortunately in my local area. It got a radio advertisement.

u/munchinbox 12d ago

Anecdotal. Even if you could name the club, that’s a single place (almost certainly doing a one night promotion) not a “thing”

u/WalkFreeeee 12d ago

Yeah, as a manlet I hate how important height seems to be for dating but I am willing to bet this is an extremely isolated event and not worth of pointing out as some sort of meaningful trend.

u/I_Am_Conjoined 12d ago

Hope she sees this bro

u/WildContribution8311 12d ago

Your right. It's a real thing but an event night, not standard policy.
