Meeting New People

• Usually when I sit down to write a blog about
  Speeksy, I have been thinking about a certain
  topic for awhile. On this occasion however this
  wasnt the case. I was sitting down on a Sunday
  night, cracking into a pack of Doritos watching
  one of my favourite documentaries, David
  Attenboroughs Planet Earth. My mind couldnt
  have been further away topics for blogs. Visit

Pre-Game Limited Confidence, Loads of Awareness

• On this particular night we werent drinking at
  any house parties before going out, we were going
  straight to the pub, so this meant more Pre-Game
  activity could be witnessed as we werent getting
  drunk by ourselves and then going out, we were
  Pre-Gaming surrounded by people we didnt know.
  The Pre-Game tactics I witnessed can probably be
  associated to a very limited demographic and even
  a small few within that, but even so, they were
  pretty funny.

Wolf Whistle

• On the way to the pub we heard a guy wolf whistle
  to a girl who was walking on the other side of
  the street. I couldnt believe I had forgotten
  about this incredible stereotype but it actually
  happened! Its really epitomizes immature
  pre-gaming. It involved the two attributes that
  make a pre-game tactic, safe distance and
  strength in numbers. Absolutely ridiculous when
  you think about it, but I doubt anyone who
  actually wolf whistles actually expects it to
  work. Begs the questions why anyone does it to be
  honest.

The Game Good Awareness Good Confidence

• So we were in the pub a few hours and everybody
  is having a good time. Anyone thats going to
  make a connection with someone cool is more
  likely going to happen at this time, in Ireland
  this more than likely happens between 10pm and
  1am. The Game is the best part of the night.
  Conversations are being started because everyone
  is feeling pretty confident, and the crack is
  being had by everyone involved as the messiness
  (for most people) hasnt started to hit home.
  After The Game, it becomes more about getting
  laid than actually making meaningful connections.

Dancing

• As an onlooker onto the dance floor (I looked
  like a complete creep watching people (try to)
  dance), I was in bits with laughter. So the dance
  floor was packed with people and because Irish
  people dont tend to dance until there smashed,
  so of the dance moves made the Amazonian birds
  which inspired this blog look like Michael
  Jackson. Although there was an awful lot of
  people falling over each other, I think this
  video below demonstrates what everyone dancing
  would look like if they were dancing by
  themselves.

Fighting

• Then we leave the club, and as time is really
  ticking it comes to the very last tactic for
  pulling someone, fighting. As a wuss my whole
  life, I really feel the most desperate of all
  attention seeking moves that comes out in
  post-gaming fighting. Having be given a ass
  kicking on any occasion in which I ended up in a
  fight, it was never a success story for me.
  Granted it doesnt happen on every night out, but
  its such a buzz kill if someone you know gets
  involved in a fight. But, just like the Amazonian
  Birds, if the dancing hasnt worked, sometimes
  (they feel) a fight is whats needed to win the
  prize.
