Why Do Men Pay More At Clubs

[Swingerbynature]

I love everything about the idea of swinging and being open etc..one thing that I am not thrilled about though is why single women get into clubs free and single blokes have to pay 30 odd quid. Seems sexiest to me. Surely we should all be paying the same entrance fees to go to the same events.

I’d imagine it’s pure ‘numbers’; unless they make it relatively expensive, the number of single Ms who attend a club will dwarf the numbers of couples and single Fs… As it is, even with relatively expensive entrance fees for single fellas, it’s not uncommon for a club to have more single M present than ‘couples + single F’ present.

Argh ok well that makes more sense to me in that case. Point well made.

I agree with @fincon . I guess It depends on the number of single men.
Moreover, the entrance price is relatively expensive in the UK (It looks like a normal nigth). In Italy the entrance price to get into clubs is between 100,00 and 200,00 euros for single men.

@fincon you've hit the nail on the head there (sadly!)

I'm starting to see a different side of it now, just didnt add up to me before felt sexiest but I think I get it a bit more now

I wish there was better ways of doing things but sadly there isn't, I certainly don't agree with women getting in for free (sorry ladies) and the over charging for gents, I know of a club that charges one price for all and the feedback is good. I always said if we had a club we would do the same but manage the intake differently so it was equal, it can be done if you work at it

I believe simple economics (demand and supply) is also at play here. Clubs have operating costs to cover, so on a typical night depending on numbers they know on average how much per head to charge to cover costs. But here's the snag:

1. Most know typically they can't charge per head as many ladies don't see why they should pay the same as guys. Unfair, but it's human interaction for you: call it "men picking up the bill". So they charge men more.

2. Clubs know the presence of the average single girl can get maybe 2 couples and 3 interested guys in the venue (modest numbers). Clubs just need to incentivise more girls be they straight, bi or gay.. seeking men, women it couples.

3. Combine the two and the average cost per head is tweaked: lower the cost for girls, bump the cost for guys and everything works out subsidised after profit.

Is it fair? Probably not, but that's economics. If some law demanded the pricing be made equal per head, it could kill the club scene.

Very sensible post, I have to agree with all the points @Ahabs has made.

I for one do not have a problem with paying more than ladies and couples, and to be honest I haven't heard of any guys who do (only based on the club's I've been to so far).

I too am in agreement with this persons comment

and also agree with this
so it is not a sexist situation we have here it is purely done on numbers and the the number of single guys going to a club outweigh any couples or single females and the club has to have profit or they will fold and then you have nothing
#wishnomorewhimpering and just accept it as it is

It is what it is and I'm sure that if a club were to be inundated with single women and very few men (ok it's a dream of mine) then I'm sure the situation would be reversed.
