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.
