Action Stations - Peak time in a club

Pseudoscience of love - Peak time in a clubThe graph above shows male hunting activity in a night club where the music stops at 2am. While most men are on the lookout once they enter the club, there is initially no panic. Drinks can be enjoyed, friends can be entertained and chicks can be ogled at. As the night progresses, women are approached, either solo or in wing commander/wing man formation.

Guys usually start with the best looking targets and work their way down, as the rejections pile up and the beer goggles take effect. When the clock strikes the dreaded "10 to 2", it's shoulder to the wheel to find a woman, any woman. There are only 10 minutes before the music stops and the hall begins to clear, so standards go out the window in order to procure some action. Many a man has woken up the following morning regretting this frenzy of desperate shape throwing. The drunken lunging usually continues until practically the last woman has left the joint!

There is a related phenomenon to the one just mentioned and perhaps it could be described as a similiar approach to copper fasten success, it's known as the 'go ugly early' approach

Thanks for that! Hadn't heard of 'GUE' before! Will add it to the items in the pipeline for possible future topics!
