I must be the only guy in the world that is kind of put off by someone who wants to sleep up with a total stranger. Yes, this is a ******ed problem to complain about.

I feel the same way unless I'm really, really drunk

Yes, that's fine. Anyone have anything a little less generic? Girls are more likely to respond to more eccentric greetings.

I notice a lot of you Americans talk about driving too and from clubs, is this common? Don't you like to get drunk at these places? I'm in the UK and I don't think I've ever known anyone ever drive to a bar or a club in the evening.

Yeah, in the vast majority of the US people drive everywhere for everything.

That must suck. I spent an evening sober in a nightclub once, most depressing night of my life.

they don't spend the evening sober. they have 8-10 drinks and then have a glass of water and a coffee and wait an hour or so to "sober up", then drive home. driving wasted is extremely common and not nearly as taboo as it is in europe. i can think of at least 5-6 people in my US social circles (i'm not american) who have a DUI charge, and there's probably quite a few i don't even know about. then there's all the people who never get caught.

Amazin,

Btw, as nick touched on, this is indeed pretty high on the list of worst places on the Internet to come for advice on how to pick up black chicks at some hood club.

I'll have to stand out. Basically, I just need some lines you approach a chick with. My plan is to be aggressive, walk right up to them when they're with their friends and start talking ****.

Ideas?

Is the club in the hood, or just frequented by folks from the hood?

The latter. It's downtown.

They are far safer than the idiots who are texting while driving, especially the ones who are just drunk enough to realize they need to be careful. It's the guys who are completely hammered after taking shots all night and are at .22%. That's where the majority of the damage happens.

Gee, thanks.

A little over an hour till I head out, and my plan is still "hey, you're pretty"

Wonderful.

I've been to a good many of hood clubs down south, but as a white guy.

One thing I noticed is that black girls are on average more aggressive than white girls, and if they like you they won't hesitate to hit on you first.

It's a refreshing change.

Amazin,

I think you're supposed to look her up and down real slow then say something about how fine she is.

Not a bad idea. I think I'm going to ask if they know any better clubs in the area as a conversation starter. Then stammer and say "sorry, couldn't help it, you're just so damn pretty"

My experience in DC black clubs is that its too loud to run any complicated lines. I always go with "let's dance" and when they say yes grind on them on the floor. When they feel the wood on their ass and keep going its pretty much a done deal and take them home.
