The point(lessness?) of it all

The other day I went to a disco with some of my friends. we were a little late going in there after getting a round of drinks we were just on the edge of the dance floor looking for the moves and grooves. And ofcourse the unsaid but perfectly understood roving eye looking out for the good looking girls. Now there are 2 categories that we can talk about when we are looking for good looking girls. It could be that you are sizing up the girl and just probably imagining different stuff about her. Or, you really are looking for a girl that may turn out to be potential life partner.

This brings us to our current state. Would you seriously ever even consider making life partner out of a girl who is dancing sans inhibition on a dance to music that just seems like a lot of bass and boom at 1 o clock in the night? Call this hypocrisy but seriously its the same both ways around. Girls really don want guys who party all night and guys really don want their girls to be seen partying with other guys in the middle of the night especially in the middle of a crowded dance floor.

So, why do we go to discos? why do we pay entrance fees and then another fortune on drinks and worse (for some guys atleast) drinks for the girls dancing on the floor? The best parties dont seem to happen in a disco. The best parties seem to be when your entire group is around and you enjoy a couple of drinks and talk about your old days and movies and dialogues et al. You can rule out talking in a disco to your friend as you d have to shout yourself hoarse to be heard over the music. But still we go. Everytime someone comes up with an idea of some guys going to a disco, you still feel excited and still want to go. why?

I think its just a hope that you ll meet someone cool and maybe this is whom you ve been waiting for all this while. But to actually do that you d have a better chance if you were going to a coffee shop (which no guy will ever accept that he wants to go to). Or to a friends house for a party. Goin to a disco may ensure that you get some cheap thrills (which again is for a guy desperate for action) but it sure aint gonna get you what you were/are looking out for.
