How to Drive Men Away in Night Clubs

A Woman's Fool Proof Guide to Get Rid of Interested Men

Sophia S. Mark
It's Friday night and you and your friends are ready to have fun at the trendy new night club downtown, but tonight you just want to have fun with your girls, no mingling, flirting, or hooking up for any of you. Then there are those nights when you are open to the flirting, but you have that one guy who is not getting your subtle "I am not interested" messages.

On a recent night out with my own girls the friendly bouncers kindly removed an overzealous pursuer that had infiltrated our circle, which got me thinking. Why should we wait for the bouncers to rescue us? How can we drive men away ourselves? I know how to attract men just fine but can I use that same know how to drive men away?

Sure!

Of course, when using any of the following tips it is important to follow the most basic rules of night club etiquette. After all, you do not want to be the one escorted out by the bouncers. Oh, and also make sure you have enough cash on hand to buy all your own drinks.

Avoid Eye Contact

Everyone knows the best way to appear approachable to men is through direct eye contact and a simple "Hi". So to keep away any potential minglers avoid all eye contact with the men around the room.

Sometimes this alone is not enough and you find yourself face to face with a unibrow who just does not understand the word no. In this instance it is necessary to pull out your best set of evil eyes. Make sure you practice this look at home so you avoid straining any facial muscles or underachieve the desired look resulting in come hither eyes.

Never Stand Alone

If you go to the club with your girlfriends make sure you stick to them like glue the whole night, never leave their side, no matter what. If it is just you and your girlfriend dancing alone most men will not approach without a friend to dance with the both of you. Groups larger than two standing off to the side of the dance floor or around a table almost never get invitations to the dance floor. One of my male friends refers to these gatherings as hen houses, so use this knowledge to your advantage when that uncoordinated drunk grabs you from behind and insists you dance with him.

If you find yourself with an unwanted partner even though you have all your girls on the dance floor with you and your initial attempts fail to get rid of him, do exactly what the hens in the hen house would do. Turn on him and start clucking, this works best when everyone in your group joins in. Throw your hands up in the air for added effect, and then watch as he slowly backs up and turns to run.

Caution: There have been a few reported cases where the worst has occurred and a troubled male has found these actions appealing and either joined in the clucking or redoubled his efforts wooing efforts. All unfortunate females are advised to run, run and do not look back.

Laugh At Him

In the course of being friendly you find yourself talking over drinks to what you thought was a nice guy only to discover he is a total sleezebag. To your dismay the sleezebag has you pinned in at the corner of the bar or table and you need a sure way to get rid of him for sure. The quickest way to accomplish this is to avoid boosting his ego. Laugh at him whenever given the opportunity, not the "oh, you're so clever" laugh but the "wow, what an idiot" laugh and if enough opportunities do not arise create some.

Ask him what he does, what he wants to do in life, and what he enjoys to do in his free time. Always respond with an, "Are you serious?!" roll your eyes and dissolve into laughter. Still not gone? Tell him he would be the best thing in your life, that you are ready to wrap your whole life around him, and that your kids will be calling him daddy by the end of the week. Get mom and dad on the phone so you can set up a lunch date where they can meet him, keep a magazine quiz about relationships in your purse and give him a pen to fill it out. Once he has skedaddled you can giggle.

Who would've thought driving men away could be so simple? Above all ladies, have fun and good luck!

    I'm married now, but in the past, the only thing that drew men to me was my hair which flowed to the floor. It drove men crazy and they couldn't keep their hands off it. I used to give them "the look" which was a strait dead-pan face, and say, very seriously, "touch me again and I'll break your arm". Worked like a charm.

    There's always the "I'm pregnant, and they tested the baby and it has Down syndrome, and even though I'm not sure who the father is I'm going to keep the baby because I just know I'll find the perfect guy to take care of us really soon." Followed by an appealing smile. They should leave skid marks.

    I haven't been to a club in ages, but... do women actually cluck at guys? Or is this some way of saying mad chatter?

  • Mommy2Lots3/21/2007

    LOL. I'm not a clubber, but still good tips for driving men away in general. I am happily married with tons of kids, but still get men flocking me sometimes, for who knows why. LOL

    I have another one....take a bossy/grumpy friend with you. I have a friend that will stop guys in their tracks by throwing up her hand and just saying no. We get a kick out of watching her chase everyone off. She doesn't hold back. To the few brave men that continue to approach our group when she's not in the mood to be approached......I'm sorry!

    VERY Funny! Here's a couple of tip - Don't wear any makeup when you go out. Wear your ugliest sweater. Not one guy will look in your direction let alone come up to talk with you.

    LMAO!!!

    Funny article! I always wondered what that clucking thing was all about. I used to carry around a pocket full of corn to scatter on the floor, but that never seemed to work. One of my female friends used to do this fake laugh that was so nasal and so annoying it would drive guys away in droves. Afterwards we'd just laugh and laugh.

    You had me rolling with this one. Great work and very informative. I have always hated the drunk that just would not take a hint. Now I know how to drive him away without actually being nasty. LOL
