I always said if I opened a club, it would be 18+ Females 21+ Males. Oh, and it would be ladies night -- every night :yes:

Well more guys will come out if they know tons of girls will be there. And lowering the age limit for girls will definitely bring a lot in. It's actually a pretty good idea. :yes:

I was at Avalon NYC on Saturday. It was 18+ for girls & 21+ for guys. Also, they weren't allowing groups of guys in that didn't have any girls with them. This worked well for me because there were about 15 guys in front of our group so we got to cut the line. Once inside, the guys were patted down while the girls just walked right in.

Exactly.. the 18/21 policy significantly lowers the risk of clubbers experiencing the dreaded Sausage Party Syndrome (SPS) Plus you have less knuckleheads in there not buying drinks and taking up valuable dancing equity in the process.

That's awesome, I can't wait to go there next month! PM me a review of the venue please! :D
I have witnessed this sausage party syndrome firsthand, and I must say, it is a dreadful thing.

MTV beens running a Britney Spears appearance at Avalon...looks like a very cool club - used to be where Limelight was in that old church. Maybe Buzz could try the age thing out.......hint hint

I don't think that's a good idea at all.... not that I like having a ton of dudes around under 21, but this would create a lot of bitching. I don't see lines around the block of people trying to get in, so I see no reason for them to have to turn people away.
BTW, Avalon does look fat, standard european club structure with mad balconies...

if you're going to buzz to meet women you're going for the wrong fucking reason. GO TO GLOW TO GET PUSSY. Go to buzz for good music and good people.

something's wrong when a club becomes a place where you aren't supposed to meet women.

age by itself is one thing, but when you throw gender in there too, you are asking for problems.

i dont see how allowing 21+ guys in the club is gonna accomplish anything except a bunch of drunken assholes. The 18+ rule is fine and should stay...if u go to edm clubs to "hook up" then there is obviously something wrong. The music should make u wanna go not the amount of pussy in the room.
but sometimes the younger guys are just ________ (fill in blank)
You women should be GLAD we would rather hang with you than a bunch of 18 year old guys. ;)
think that comment will stir the pot? :()

I SAY older women and younger dudes, but you have to pass a respcet test at the door. i'll throw a party called 'honor' and have that be the rule... that and you have to wear sneakers, not stupid high heels. If you don't dance you get kicked out or asked to sit down so the dancers have room.

i dont really mind the young guys, used to be one myself, and I guess I still think I am one if I'm trotting off to Buzz on Fridays. it would be nice however to go an over 21 party occassionally but obviously theres no $$ in that for venues like I enjoy. So long as no one bites my ankles its all fun!

the upstairs used to be 21+ only.... but with the rubik room up there now, it's too hard to control.

The only thing i think about this thread is that this kind of rule WOULD attract a different crowd. If i want to go to a club where people are booty dancin and hookin up Ill go to hammerjacks or Bohaggers (however you spell it)

The disparate age limit thing could make a club subject to a sex discrimination lawsuit. The basis for such a lawsuit would be that the club's policy is discriminatory against men.

I was stupid when I was 18, too. 18 year olds are generally just obnoxious and annoying in clubs.

Unfortunately, Charlie, the age 18 is the uniform age of majority. 16 year olds can legally operate a motor vehicle weighing several 1,000 lbs. that can kill and maim. 18 year olds can marry, vote, and enlist in the military and fight and die for their country. All of the soldiers who rescused Jessica Lynch were under 21 years old, as is Pvt. Lynch, who is age 19. If a 18 year old can legally engage in the previously mentioned activities, which require a great deal of judgment and responsibility, then for God's sake he should be able to enter a club! End of story.
No hard feelings, my good man, your mixes rock! Muffy

I oppose the high heel thing but :thumbsup: for the kicking out non dancers!!!!!!! All they do is take up *OUR* space!

There is a club here in Raleigh that has age restrictions of 25+ for men and 21+ for women to get in. Every once in a while they bring a dj into town and make it 18+ for everyone. That's even more sick because all of the 25+ usual crowd still comes but now instead of hitting on 21 year olds they can hit on 18 year olds. I think they should have an age limit of getting into a club, like no one over 35 can get it, because it's sad that they think they have a chance with an 18 year old anyways.

That's so bogus! So I guess I'm sposed to stop partying once I reach the ripe old age of 35? I don't go to the club for the booty, I go for the music and to dance.

the 18/21 rule is sexist and it objectifies women. there should be no need for a club to bring in young girls and assure the guys that no younger bucks will be in their territory. and i say this even tho i'm a 20 y/o girl and i benefit from this system in a scene that is less and less tolerant of underagers.
btw, it sucks even more because i have a guy friend who i'd love to take to avalon but, even tho we're the same age, i would get in and he'd be kicked to the curb.

economically, it makes sense for the club. If you look at the clubs who use these policies, they really are commercial clubs that don't cater to the EDM scene anyway. They wany money and money only.......and this policy brings in the $$.

thats the point, we were 18 once and most, not all of the time, 18 years olds in an EDM club are acting silly and it aint cuz of the drinks they cant order at the bar.
