I was just listening to a commercial on the radio for a local dance club / bar. And it really annoyed me because at the end of the commercial it said, Gentlemen must be over 21 and Ladies must be over 18 to enter. Another thing I hear a lot is women pay no cover and men do. That bugs me!! Discrimination?

I've never heard of the age thing before- that doesn't seem right to me. A lot of the bars around here have "Ladie's Night" though where the women drink free/cheap. In college I used to go with male friends and get them drinks all night :) It was usually Wednesday or Thursday nights.

Same here is Miami, most clubs have ladies 18 and men 21 and the same thing in South Beach, for the most part women get in free and men have to pay anywjere from 18.00-35.00 to get in!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's not discrimination. Maybe, women just didn't go to those bars much so they changed stuff around so it'd be appealing to them to come.

The guys paying cover charge and women not is not discrimination. It's good business with the idea being if women can get in for free many will come. And if the club gets a reputation for being a place where women hang out, the men will flock there. And, once there, guess who will be spending the most money? The men--to try and whoo the women.

I once wrote an article on teledating services. These companies do the exact same thing as the club you mentioned. It really is surprising (to me) how much men will sacrifice financially in exchange for the chance to find a potential sex and/or romantic partner.

i always thought in most of the dance club/bars you had to be 21 no matter what sex you are. it's too hard to keep straight who can drink and who can't, with people passing drinks to those who are under-age, etc. i almost never see 'free drinks' or 'happy hour' signs. seems to me, i recall some areas in california have done away with them because there were more drunk people on the road; people who did not drink in moderation because they wanted 'their money's worth', and they were polishing off 4 or 5 drinks in 2 hours before happy hour ended, etc.
