[FR] Went clubbing for the first time.

I'm not really in a position to write guides or anything, but I think that I should report my findings.

A little over a week ago, I posted a thread about going sarging in Dresden. A little ahead of myself, as I've never gone sarging before, but whatever. This week got the ball rolling.

I was on a business trip with my boss and three colleagues. The last night we were there (Thursday), we went to a nightclub called "Katy's Garage", two of my colleagues (let's call them J and P) came with me. We sat down, ate bratwurst and drank beer and basically just had a good time at the Biergarten outside of the club. We joked about work, commented on women, and whatnot, you know, guy stuff. J gave me a very important piece of advice (I quote) "The biggest turnoff for women [and people in general] is insecurity, even if you have to feign confidence, it is better than coming across as insecure."

After finishing our Pilsners, we went into the club, got more beer and continued talking. J convinced me to go out onto the floor and just move in time with the music, he said "Just have a good time, nobody will care if you make an ass of yourself, they're too busy doing it themselves." Mildly inebriated, I got onto to the floor and did what P described (the next day) as a "rhythmic chicken dance". Zero fucks given, I had a great time.

If you're having trouble getting onto the floor or don't know how to dance, my advice is: Nobody will give a shit if you look stupid, they are busy making themselves look stupid and not caring about it. Just get the fuck out there, even if you have to force yourself, march your ass out to the outskirts of the floor, start dancing and work your way to the centre. If you're not having fun, force yourself to smile, focus on the music and just go apeshit.
