Shooing the Pervs

By: Kirti Parwal

As sung by Ed Sheeran,”Club isn't the best place to find love, so the bar is where I do…” is been taken seriously by most boys who are often found saying “Ma’am, wana dance?” especially on a girls’ night out! You know your night is ruined when instead of worrying about what drink too have next, you’re worried about the creep staring at you.

Your time with your girls is precious and nobody should ever get to ruin your night. So here are some tips on how to get rid of weird guys at a club!

1. Stranger Danger

Lesson 1 of responsible drinking is, never accept drinks from a stranger, however fun you think it sounds, it’s never safe. Accepting drinks from a person you met 10 minutes can never go well, he could either spike your drink or get clingy. Men will get the wrong perception that you are open to things, if you take one drink.

2. Ace the Ninja Dance

Everything goes down on the dance floor! ;)

With over enthusiastic dancers and drunk people, your drink can be found on the floor rather than in you. walk with your elbows raised on either side with your arms blocking your chest. This saves you from being groped at. If you are carrying a drink hold the drink in your left hand close to your chest and use the right arm to block everyone.

3. Don’t react to flirtatious behaviour

If you aren’t interested in the person who has approached you at a bar DON’T react to their flirtatious behavior. If you truly want the behavior to stop, do not laugh or give “come hither” looks. And be careful how you use body language to confuse the matter, as some people can get mixed signals and assume there is more that you’re simply too shy to vocalize.

4. Learn to say NO

When guys approach a women at a Bar, most of us have a tendency to be polite and turn them down. When you politely try to escape, sometimes they continue creeping. It seems like no matter where you go he’s right behind you, offering you a drink or buzzing around you & your girls.

When things get out of control, you need to get firm and say NO!

5. Ask for Help

Every pub/club/bar has hefty bouncers to deal with crazy drunk idiots. If the situation gets out of hand, don’t hesitate from approaching the authorities at the place & they will handle the rest. Asking for help doesn’t make you a weak person, but a responsible one!
