Is if fair that single men have to pay more to enter ( some ) clubs than single women tvs which is often free for them and still more than couples ?

I thought we where in an age of equality and leveling up .

Far more " single" men want to enter clubs so by paying a premium it helps keep the equilibrium. Easy answer is find a like minded lady friend

Cost of entry is not about equality. You have the same opportunity to enter the premises however to save it from being wall to wall blokes the cost of entry is higher for an over subscribed group of people.

Or you could look at it as subsidising the cost of entry for women/TV's to encourage more participation from an under representated group.

Just because there are more single guys that dose not give clubs the right to discriminate dose it ?

Just imagine what would happen if football clubs charged women more to go to a game because more men go to football.

I don’t think the costs discourages men from attending at all and don’t think it’s for that reason.

Any club who’s serious about a good vibe and good ratios will have guest lists to manage it. Charging men more doesn’t stop it being a cock fest.

It’s just about making money and business sense IMO.

That's not the same thing though. You would need to charge the men more again because there's too many that go.

I started playing dodgeball last year and becsuse they were trying to encourage women to play I only paid 50p per session whereas the men paid something like £3.

The clubs with the different pricing are using it to attract women/TV to the venue because single men then follow. Would you prefer to pay more but the demographics you want are there in sufficient numbers, or everyone pay the same but its mainly single guys?

But if does discourage some though. Threads like this prove it. There's always men on them saying how they are taking a stand and simply won't pay.

It is also good business sense to charge women less because a club full of cock is no good unless it's a club for gay/bi people.

When I first joined this site I got chatting to a couple and they invited me to a club.

Due to being a single guy I had to contact the club to get on the list as there is only room for a certain number of single guys.

the membership quoted to me was 40 pounds, then 20 pounds entry and 10 for a locker refundable and cheaper entry if I was to go again,

plus my petrol and other costs

due to this I haven't visited a club yet I have a social booked and this is were I aim to meet others from now on.

Have you ever been a single woman attending a club? Maybe go with their experiences rather than assuming your own.

Women talk to other women, share their experiences and make judgments based on reviews. But like trip advisor and choosing where to eat.

I was a very regular club goer and have not had many bad experiences (but that's because I'll generally fuck most people in a club lol but there are a lot of guys that go to clubs and expect sex with whoever because they've paid to get in. They wrongly assume that they are paying for access to pussy rather than access to the club.

No it's not fair.

It makes some men assume that they are paying for sex and they get pushy and pissed off.

It makes some women and couples think they are on a higher status than men, even though they are literally the sex bait.

Everyone is paying for the same facilities, the price should be the same for every person regardless of sex, gender, relationship status.

It is nothing more than making money under the guise of ensuring “quality” solo men. It doesn’t work though.

Cost of entry should be per person and the management of numbers and ratios is something different. Attitudes are not directly related to the entrance fee.

Let's all be careful here what we wish for, take the inequality retirement age for example, everyone banged that particular drum and the solution was opposite to the desire of the people, female retirement age took a great leap to place it in line with the males as opposed to bringing the males down and small increase for women. I know of 1 particular club that has considered charging a standard fee per person regardless of gender (they ultimately decided against doing it), so for example...

Now

Sm £35

Couple £35

Sf £5

Tv/ts £10

New pricing

Male £35

Female £35

Tv/ts £35

So males would still pay the same, whilst couples would be paying £70

Females would have an increase of £30 and tv/ts increase of £25. They realised that if all their clientele were happy to pay these prices they would generate a lot more income however it doesn't take a genius to know that they would lose a very large proportion of their customers especially female and couples which would lead to the club being "overrun" with single men who would then soon realise that its no longer worth attending that club and would go elsewhere thus rendering the business unviable, unfortunately the imbalance of entrance fees is a necessary evil to ensure these places carry on trading at a profit (it is a business after all) and remain open for us all to enjoy.

Ladies pay less to attract them to clubs.

If men only had to pay £10 to get in, the place would be wall to wall men couples would be put off and so would the few numbers of ladies that turn up leading to the club closing or turning into a gay club.

I think some are looking at it from the wrong perspective. Men pay what is a reasonable fee to get in. Women and to a lesser extent couples pay a subsidised fee to encourage women to attend.

Let’s face it taking the population as a whole a far, far greater percentage of men would attend regardless of price, same as on here and any dating site so surely it’s perfectly sensible business practice to encourage those who are less likely to attend, especially when if that demographic don’t attend then the others won’t either because there is nothing there for them?

Is it fair, no of course not, does it work, of course it does! Men don’t have to go but there will always plenty who want to regardless of fees, women are encouraged to go and from a marketing perspective are made to feel special or the most important demographic because they get it at a subsidised rate.

It’s not like the alternative is that everyone pays the cheaper rate, everyone would pay the more expensive rate which another post accurately depicts and the likely outcome is you get less women attending and so those men attending are less likely to have a good time.

But at least they can all sit around together drinking their beers saying finally a club that treats us poor downtrodden men fairly

It may be you could charge everyone more and numbers wouldn’t change. Personally I reckon if ain’t broke don’t fix it and most still seem to have a good time regardless of the unfairness of fees.

It isn't just about a balancing of numbers between groups, it really isn't..

...there is an element of charging what they think they can get away with. Men are pretty slavish to our sexual impulses..and proprietors of these venues well understand that...

It's a mentality that doesn't differ that much from online sex dating sites. Men are cock happy, and it does for us every time.

It is wholly unfair but the only thing you can do about it, is boycott the most unfairly priced venues. There are two clubs in the NW I won't ever visit, because of their gender-biased pricing; not only do they charge solo males more for on the night entry, but they insist everyone pays a membership fee too. The thing is, solo males are charged £60 ANNUALLY, whereas solo females and couples are charged £5 LIFETIME. I find that truly diabolical, but some appear happy to pay it.

There's all sorts of discrimination that goes on and this is just one part.

We haven't been to our local club since before covid, but from memory guys pay less on a bi night than any other which seems odd and then have a Saturday time limit where they aren't allowed after 7pm, being couples and female only.

All this on top of higher fees all round. It does seem out of kilter in all fairness.

This logic makes no sense. If that were the case they’d just say “no more than 10 single men tonight” (for example). It’s far easier to enforce. Putting the price up doesn’t stop men from coming - what happens if 1000 single men come that can all pay the asking price?

The real reason they charge more is because they know that horny single men will pay it. It’s as simple as that.

In the past the Mrs had a bad experience in a club that had far too many men in there. She was followed by a line of guys everywhere and it put her right off (her first visit to a club). Hence we understand the higher charges even though it seems so unfair. Maybe they could charge the same yet simply limit numbers ?. There's also the issue of droves of inebriated single guys trying to get into a club after the pubs shut, then expecting to get a fuck for their money and openly harassing all the women in there..

If there’s one thing I’ve come to learn from this forum, it’s that single guys will literally moan about everything.

It’s easy to see and listed above why they charge more for single guys. And it makes sense. I’d rather people pay higher to get in so it discourages time wasters that just want a show. And that’s more likely with single guys than with women just because of sheer numbers.

I’ve found couples to be much more pushy than the single guys, they struggle to take no for an answer (particularly the females, strangely enough). The female half won’t take it that you’re straight and if you do agree to fuck her man, she can’t help herself but touch! This is purely my experience, I’m not saying this is true of all couples (obviously) but I can only comment on my own experience.

The single man whose not got his rocks off will feel ripped off, again a generalisation, but thinks fuck that I'm not going there again.

Unfortunately, like a lot of things on life, there are things that might be perceived as unfair or unequal when it comes to pricing. Many clubs will admit single ladies for free - do many people complain about that? We play with groups of single guys in clubs, so having a club full of guys doesn’t worry us, but for a lot of couples it may well put them off going, and then you run the risk of a club full of guys with no females in them. Also, as somebody else has mentioned, it can work as a deterrent to people that would not know how to behave (it’s not a perfect system of ing out as you still get people who think because they’ve paid to go into a club that they are entitled to get sex (a side effect of our entitled society perhaps).

Plus - there is always the option that if you don’t want to pay to go in somewhere, don’t go there. After all (apologies to vegetarians for this example), if you want a burger and you’re not prepared to pay the prices they charge at Hard Rock/Five Guys/Byron etc - then you have the option to go to other places. Sure it might not taste as good - but hey - you don’t have to pay as much

Truth is - and this will upset some…. But fk it as it is stating the obvious from a business perspective:

The couples and single fems are the product, so it is not in the club’s interest to charge higher rates.

Think of it as the couples and single fems get a discount for services rendered rather than the males having to pay more.

Maybe cynical, but that’s how we rationalised it first time we went to a typical Friday night where singles males are encouraged.

I think if it was too cheap or free for males then very few couples would want to participate as it would become over run with the wrong kind of pricks.

But if your a “couple” at certain clubs you can’t attend as a couple with others. And if you go fairly regularly people get to know everyone don’t they.

It does. This is what the business model is based on. Not many like to admit it though. But them’s the facts.

Also consider that many, maybe most but probably not all “sex clubs” aka swingers clubs are started by couples who want to move into the scene a bit more ‘full on’ and make a fuller lifestyle/living from it. So naturally those venues are going to focus mainly on couples and cater the business model to their needs.

With the growth of websites such as this and increasing market for singles then maybe there’s an enterprising single who will invest a million or three it would take to set up a singles focused club. Judging by the interest from single males and females on this thread and the overall ‘fairness’ argument it must be a winning formula surely?

Women can be equally unpleasant in a club

I have suffered two incidents

And one when I was actually part of the staff at the venue

Prices should be the same for all as in each person

That would be fare

Why should single guys be discriminated against because they are single

I’ve been to a club where a guy paid as a tv

But then all night walked around in a towel as a single bloke and I was pulled up fir pointing it out did that make me an out of order single guy then

Everyone has the right to this lifestyle everyone has a right to attend a function or club

Single blokes don’t get charged more in any other place in our life

Remember swinging is not just for cpls and single girls

So clubs should think about what they charge sensibly

I rather go to a swanky venue on a nye night than pay £300 to go to a club that laid on nothing particularly special and was just thinking about the money they made

Example

A woman decides to go to a club 5 times in a week at a cost of £10-£15 a visit

A guy does the same and it costs £250 us that really acceptable

I think not

Care for your guests clients don’t rip them off

As that could definitely be your downfall to non existent don’t see them as £ signs see and treat them as a person

You have your etiquette and club rules that will allow you to refuse entry if you see fit

So let’s embrace it all not disgrace it

"Nothing quite like paying a premium for the chance to be completely passed over because too many men showed up anyway

It's no wonder some men get pissed off!

If they'd only paid a tenner they would probably just treat it more as a pub night with the chance to watch people fuck...

I've never been to a club mainly because there isn't a club scene over here in the same way there are in other countries.

The couple of clubs that do exist here are only open one or two nights a month at most and are by invitation only.

Every time one of those clubs advertises on fab they have different rules to attend for men than they do for women or couples.

On another thread it was stated that a single male had to pay €70 for a ticket to one of these "events" and some said that was pretty cheap for a night out.

Maybe it's just me but when was €70 ever considered cheap especially when you add in travel costs and possibly also having to pay for accommodation?

There are many reasons not to go to a club and gender biased pricing structures no matter how they are dressed up are only one of them.

I can't obviously speak from experience but others have already highlighted above the misconceptions that some people are happy to peddle. Mainly that all that is wrong in this community can be laid firmly at the feet of single men.

We e tried a few different clubs one were they had a strict dress code all guys were respectful and polite, and others where it looked they had wondered in off the street in there trainers and tracksuits one guy actually stood there watching us and decided to cum all over the bed we were playing on which resulted in me (male half ) putting my hand in it which abruptly stoped the fun. So wouldn’t actually be bothered about paying the same price as single guys but happy to pay a premium if the the quality of guests improve.

"……..

(Cut for brevity)

You certainly can’t blame all single men for the transgressions or issues caused by a minority who are not suites to this lifestyle or community. We’ve had the pleasure of meeting a number of fantastic people from all walks and both singles and couples. But like every hobby - from camera clubs, motor racing or debating societies… there will be the good band and the ugly. The fact single

Males are a dominant demographic will simply mean that the element which let the side down are more numerous. That’s just a number game.

Top tip lads: target greedy girls or hot wives nights. More bang for buck

One of the clubs I go to charges per entry. So couples, single females, single men, me, we all pay the same. One night it can be quite male heavy, the next not so much. No guest lists, no reservations. It CAN work, just got to take the rough with the smooth sometimes.

If you want to start looking at legal speak, the Equality Act 2010 lists gender as a protected characteristic. So under certain circumstances it could be illegal to charge differently according to gender. There are loopholes though, and I'm not a Fab lawyer, hence why I'm saying it could be illegal, not that it is. But try telling that to a club then think you're ever getting in!

Thing is, it's a sellers market. And while people attend clubs will do whatever they want.

And I call bullshit on Kink events not pricing according to gender. If anything they can be worse. But that's a different story.

"The post is about charging or not to get in to clubs NOT ABOUT PAYING FOR SEX . As far as I know there are no clues on fab that do this .

You equated it to prostitution though

No you missed the point the I asked if the clouds are exploiting woman and TVs "

If the lower price of entry was in return for having to have sex with whichever single man wanted them to, that would be exploitation IMO. They still have free choice even though they pay less, and benefit from lower costs compared to single men, so how are they being exploited?

I think limiting numbers would work. A balanced ratio of ladies, gents and couples, all pay the same. Then there would be no exclusion of any one group and the pricing would be fair.

As a couple that mainly play with men we would prefer clubs to have less women and more single men. We wouldn’t mind paying more if this reduced mens entry fees.

The protected characteristics don’t apply the same to private members clubs and their fee structure, only to the opportunity to join.

Our preference is to play with other couples but apart from couples only nights there are always far more men attending than couples or single women so any imbalance in pricing certainly isn't a deterrent to men attending. Couples only nights are always the busiest though.

"Number of couples needs controlling. Far too many and why I rarely go to clubs these days.

Each time you comment you have a go at couples so what you should do is go to the singles nights which nearly all clubs run so that would solve YOUR problem

Unfortunately it doesn't because they still allow some couples in. Was same at bi nights, couples got in but the husbands were not bi! A blatant disregard for privacy!

Mrs perfect was unemployed until recently for about 2-2 and a half years. To get out and entertain her self she set up a single profile too meet people. For extra security for herself and after the first social meet with single guys she suggested going into the local club during the day (while I was at work) as a couple and splitting the entrance fee. Not many would put their hand in their pocket for £5 and would rather not meet again!

I think for a lot of guys it’s not just about the money?

I regularly spend £55-£60 for a daytime hotel room, for private meets 121. I would have no issue meeting inside a club, or going in as a ‘couple’, for a prearranged meet, and paying my way accordingly. I just don’t enjoy paying a premium to visit a club, then feeling like I’ve gatecrashed someone else’s party

First of all, trans women are women so obviously they should be paying the single female price for entry.

Secondly, if clubs lowered the price for single men’s entry then clubs would be FULL of single men and all of them would complain that’s there’s too many men and not enough women/couples. Couples and single women would be majorly put off of going to a club with wall to wall single guys and the type of men you really don’t want to meet there would be there. It deters people and controls numbers as well as attracting the right sort of people.

Yes I do. Plenty won’t pay £20 for entry. There is a disproportionate amount of men vs women and couples - being on here for just a day shows that. I know I wouldn’t feel comfortable going to a club that was heaving full of single guys. It’s also about the type of men. If a guy is happy to pay more, it’s likely that he’s more serious about it all and will be respectful. Just observations and my opinion though.

It’s actually the opposite. It makes the ‘rest of you’ stand out more. Saying things like that takes the blame off yourself and puts it on others.

Both gender reassignment and sex are listed. So being male, female or trans (which does include non-binary) are all protected characteristics.

Totally disagree with your points charge more for single guys dose not means you will get a better class of person.lets not forget some men go to clubs to meet men so why should they pay extra ? And it you look at it the other way men who have gone to meet men can complain that because of the lower pricing for women tvs and otheres its spoiling it for them as it's full with them and limiting the amount of single men so less choice for the gay/ bi man.

Also theres been many comments about couples causing most trouble in the clubs should they limit them as well?

"Well..... I ventured to a certain club in Portsmouth and I certainly agree with OP.

Paid what I thought was expensive, because for what it was and what a shite hole.

All I will say is never again it was a very strange experience for what happens in there.

Sadly many of the clubs in the UK Are downmarket shit holes. More like travel lodge or a 1970s B&B than Astoria. Now a very luxurious club would be worth paying a real premium to attend! "

Exactly this! As a single guy, the higher prices charged for the services rendered (the club and its facilities, not the women or couples!) is a travesty and the reason why I don’t visit clubs often. If I am to pay those prices, the least I expect is a first class venue or at least an upmarket one.

Secondly this argument that if they don’t charge more, they will be overrun with single men doesn’t hold up. Whatever happened to vetting the people being let into the club? Most club owners don’t do this, which often means you get the wrong people (single men, women AND couples) coming in and spoiling the atmosphere for others via lecherous behaviour, poor handling of rejection and couples’ tiffs on display.

I don’t have an issue with clubs charging single men more than women and couples from a supply and demand perspective, but the issue I have is the high quantum of fees charged for a service that doesn’t match up.

As stated above, most clubs in the UK are completely crap for the fees they ask for, and many party organisers just see it as a money-making scheme. There’s no sophisticated business acumen applied to it.
