Actually, quite a spectrum of advice was offered. Had the OP stuck around he could have selected from the following:

The Aggressive: Best chance of actually getting laid. Pooh-poohed as "mystery-method"-ish nonsense, the sad reality is that this approach, given some confidence could be high-impact with drunken chicks who appreciate the ballsy guy.

If she wants to try it on, let her then after you've talked some more you can ask her if she considers herself a good kisser.

The only cologne you should wear is Thierry Mugler's Angel for men, because it smells like chocolate and will improve your chances of getting laid.

If you don't score don't worry too much, you're 18, most 18 year olds suck at macking girls. But good luck anyway. Talk to lots of women and tell them it's your birthday. See if you can get them to buy you drinks.


This is Dad's advice.

Besides that, just have a good time man. People at clubs (especially at that age) are usually so fucked up from pregaming extremely hard that they won't notice what you are wearing. Plus most clubs are packed so you'll be sweating your balls off if you come dressed to the nines (blazer, etc.).

Most importantly, just have a good time with your friends and enjoy your birthday broham. Don't stress the details

The Standard...

I go clubbing fairly often and if you stick with the above style, pretty much what everyone else is recomending, you'll look better dressed than about 90% of the guys in there.

And stay away from Ed Hardy and Affliction for your tees and don't wear jeans that are all ripped up(vintage), you're gonna look like a guido if you do.

Also get some decent cologne if you don't have any, it might make a good impression if you're dancing with a girl.


Rico Suave... the slightly more upscale/sophisticated approach

Seriously it really depends on the club. Some clubs I'll just wear a fitted t-shirt and dark slim jeans with boat shoes or something; others I'll wear something like a medium grey sportcoat, pink OCBD, navy incotex (very slim), and some black leather shoes (easier to cover up the scuffs after). It really depends on the scene. Matt gave some good advice about checking out their FB page or website to see which way the crowd goes.

lol at people not being able to take a little trolling and snark: L2SF

Is there a dress code? if not, wear wind breaker pants and no underwear. This works real well when you are grinding on a chick. You might even get lucky on your first night out.

What does one do at a club? I will be 28 soon, and I'd like to go to one by then. Also how do you get into the club? Is there a form that I need to fill out, or will I be invited?

50 Cent wrote a quite exhaustive essay on this subject. Listen and learn.

Thanks for being the first person who point out that despite the HURR MYSTERY METHOD factor, the advice I've given actually works. (They don't have to be drunk either, having a confident joie de vivre seems to attract girls like the billy-o. If you can't make her laugh, you can't make her come.)

I am thankful to say I mostly go out to places where you and your silly hat would be refused at the door.

marsupialed. I don't understand why people need to do idiotic ****. Are you all that ******* ugly, awkward, and one-dimensional that you need to resort to this crap to get girls? Jesus ******* christ. I shudder at the thought of the ****** chicks you find with these methods. For me it depends on what I expect to happen. I usually just wear skinny jeans, baller sneakers, and a tight white v-neck. If I don't think it's going to be sloppy at all, I might wear a slim button down, but I usually stick with the v-neck. If you want a real conversation starter, just wear gothninja, at least you won't be a douche and a half. edit: also, heels if you've got them.

You were saying? (no, I don't necessarily condone these practices, but still)

18 and up... those were the days.

raw denim... slim dress shirt (H&M works)... maybe a v-neck underneath and some black vans. it's only an 18 and up club.
