If you're not going to socialize or mingle with other people in the club?

Me and a friend of mine (who's a lady) were talking about going clubbing/dancing and about socializing with the other club-goers. My friend is very attractive and whenever she steps in the club she draws the attention of every and any guy in the place and is the envy of every lady in the club. The only problem is that she is prudish and standoffish and prefers to only mingle in the club with the people she attends the place with. I know this because her and I have gone clubbing a few times together and are rather close.

I ask her whats the point of going clubbing if she's not going to at least try and mingle with anyone else and have a good time. I'm not talking about hooking up with a guy or girl (though she always scopes out the guys and women and talks about hooking up or taking home someone before we hit the club) but simply possibly meeting a new friend in the process. I understand that there are some creepy, nasty, annoying men who can be predatory and make the women more reserved but of course not all men are like that but this isn't only about women.

I don't know about anyone else but when I go clubbing, I go to get down, have fun, mingle with other people make new friends and if possible I definitely don't mind meeting a lady or hooking up with one too. I'm simply about being around new faces who I'm not familiar with to show them what I got and vice versa. If I'm going to pay 20, 30, 40, 50 or sometimes more depending on the club or venue, you BET I'm going to make the best of it and you BET I'm going to always be mingling with other people.

However, it seems like more and more people more around my age range of like 21-30 years of age seem to be pretty stand offish and only mingle with their circle of friends at clubs. They're either into just their crowd of people or they are on their phones TEXTING of all things. Its annoying to me how like if you try and be friendly, they just blow you off.

Of course not all people are like this but it just seems to be a more and more common thing now at clubs. Instead of people getting together and letting loose they just mess with their inner circle.

Maybe it's just me but either way I want to hear your thoughts and opinions.

I don't go to club often so my opinion may not really mean much but I find clubs one of the worst ways to actually meet people... They are too loud to hold a conversation. Not that I have a problem with drinking but some can drink a little too much and that doesn't really help.

Girls like that are annoying. Unfortunately they usually end up ruining everyones night. Only in the western world do women act antisocial at social gatherings!

Heh, well I'm in NYC right now but they are some places that are 10-15 dollars a cover charge but the big night clubs with the better sound system and much bigger dance floors can usually be 20-40 but on special days like Halloween or NYE it can be 50 or MUCH higher. Where are you that its so cheap?
