Rant on Single’s Events
Okay, I am totally against single’s events because of a horrible experience I had a few years ago. It was New Year’s Eve and a few of us single girls decided to get together and go to a Holiday Inn for their New Years single’s party.
This place usually has single’s night every Friday, so we figure it won’t be too bad and decide to pay the $40 it costs to go in. Well, we wanted to take a peek inside the place but it was so covered up we couldn’t get a look inside. Well, now I know why.
We walked in and it was so dark you couldn’t see anything. Fine. Once our eyes adjusted we decided to take a stroll around the whole room to check out the scene. I swear, it felt like all four of us were on stage at a meat market because there were all these weird guys staring at us checking us out. I got creeped out, but I wasn’t about to spend $40 for 2 minutes of being there.
Shortly after, we ventured over to the dance floor where I proceeded to tell my friends that we could go as soon as we danced off at least $5 of our entrance fee to get in. We had fun dancing, but quickly exited the place due to the scary people there.
Ever since then, whenever I see a single’s event advertised I cringe. I’m pretty sure I will never go to another one of those…EVER. My only guess is that those places are a hang-out for those interested in drunken one-night stands.
Anyone out there have any experiences with these types of places? If so, what did you think?
