WHy does France suck? It's the only country where you can't have a glass of wine or a half a can of beer before entering a nightclub?

[Anonymous]

Is it the same in other European Countries and in North America? I doubt it

Last night this female security agent refused to let me in. Here's how it went:

Me: Can I enter

Her: No, it's not gonna be possible

Me:Why? Forr what reason?

Heer: No answer ( shhe stayed mute, is she mute? can't she talk?)

She then told me there's too many people inside, then I saw about 50 people leaving the club so her excuse was pathetic as she couuld have then let me in

Then there were other people who she let in mostly white girls/women who were showing skin, wearing tanktops aand miniskirts even though on the door it's written " tenue correcte exigée" So it's okay for a girl to wear a tanktop and a miniskirt and another guy weearing torn jeans but not me who was wearing a tee shirt, a sweathirt and chino pants/trousers and sneakers even though there was another guy wh was wearing nike sneakers?

Aso she let in everyone who were all white, me being Indian she refused this proves she has selective racism and it's discrimination to refuse entry a person in a nightclub due to the color of one''s skin

She then told me she thought I had drunk a bit. It's a bar/nightclub ffs! Everybody was drinnking alcohol be it beer, wine, vodka, etc

And not to mention people who have pre driks before going to a party

Even at dinner its not uncommon for men to havee a glass of wine as an apero before heading out to a bar

Then people thinnk France is a fun place. It's the best country in Europe. It's bettter than North AMerica ( USA and Canada) It's not. You can't do nothing here.

The mottto here in France is " Liberté, egalité, Fraternité" which is ironic becaause your're not free to do anything here be it at a swimming pool ( piscine municiplae) you can't even ear swimming shorts or flirt with women so liberté my arse!

At 36 plus this comes as a surprise? Night clubs and other venues with door staff are on the whole very fussy, if there are too many guys in they will stop more guys entering, dress codes are more of a guideline and used to stop people that seem off for entering. Also single guys or groups of more than 4 will usually have problems entering. Yes ethnicity, skin colour does play a part in some areas, as do accents, a friend was stopped entering one for his wide boy cockney accent. Also if you are closer to 40 then yeah you would have not been let in, age does come into play especially if the usual age is 20’s as they don’t want old blokes trying to chat to younger girls.

[Asker]

No that waas not the case. It was a single party for people of all ages ( on their facebobok paage it's wrttien "open to everyone") be it 18 years old of people in theirs 40's

I have a neutral normal accent so thats not the reason she didn't let me in

And you're wrong when you say "Also single guys or groups of more than 4 will usually have problems entering"

That's simply not true because she let in groups of more thaa 4 people and single people

The usual age of this club is not 20, there were people as young as18-20 upto people in their late 40's

[RebelinSteel]

You do realise I was being a bit generalising about the group size, not that specific club 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
It’s not a French thing, most places are like that.
You tried to crash a party and got rejected, that’s just life, it’s tough, just walk away from it.

[Asker]

I didn't " try to crash a party". It went there specifically on that night as it was a " soirée célibataire" so the femal security agent was wrong not to let me in

ANd I do think it's a French thing. I've been to nightclubs in Amsterdam in Holland, in Katowice in Poland and had no problem getting in even though I arrived slightly well very drunk

I imagine in other countries it's the same, they dont have selective racism and won't deny entry ( if there are security guards at the entry because there are bars where it's free entry in the USA for example) even if you had half a can of beer or a glass of wine be it it any other literal European country other than France like: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Romania, Sweden, etc where they are less lenient

[RebelinSteel]

They do have selective racism, but well it’s selective, it’s not just the French lol

[BetaBucks]

Sounds like a terrible country. You would be much happier in India.

[Asker]

Well I'm not 100% Indian. I'm British mixed race guy ( haalf indian half African) born in London of Mauritian descent buy yeah France was better before like 10 years ago, now it sucks

[BetaBucks]

What made it decline so much in the last decade, and why are you staying?

[Maybeyoutoo]

India? The one country he will never go to

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Seems to me that you fell victim to racism. Also women are terrible security guards, this one shows that perfectly: no reasoning, no sense or logic

[Asker]

I know right! The French including this French female security guard arre generally clueless and contradict what they say

I mean what's wrong with arriving at a nightclub after having had few drinks at home ( or in your car) because alcohol soothes your nerves ( especially that this night was a soirée célibataire so there was pressure to make the 1st move to talk to women) or if you hava debitilating anxiety, beer makes you relaxed

It's the same as drinkg INSIDE the clud than outside before you enter the club.

I don't understand the logic of the French rules wich are nonsensical because there is no difference whether you arrive ( slightly) drunk at the nightclub or if you get drunk inside the nightclub. You'll still behave the same?

Racism is pretty bad there so I've heard plus 36 is ancient in club terms unless you own the joint

[Asker]

No you're wrong. They were people/girls/women of all ages ranging from 18 to women in their 40's and even 50's so as I'm in my mid thirties, the female security guard was wrong to denyme entering the club, she was literally standing in front so I couldn't get in.

Plus she let in men who were in their 40's ( one of them wearing torn jean even though it written "tenue correcte exigée" so they're more "ancient" than me yet she still let them in

[Asker]

Well yeah it's the country which had the highest percentage of votes for the right wing (34%)

And the country in Europe with the most right wing candidates ( who are racist against non-whites, against multiculturilism and anti immigration) such as Marion Maréchal, Eric Zemmour, Marine Le Pen, Eric Ciotti andJordan Bardella ( wh won the 1st round of the European french elections and finished 2nd on the 2ème tour)

France is getting more and more racist. France is among the most racist countries in Europe

[Opinion Owner]

Then it was definitely racism

I've never been nightclubbing, was invited when I was 16 but had to decline obviously and at 26 view I'm far too old for that

[Levin]

Consider yourself lucky you can't get in.

Nightclubs are absolutely terrible places.

Let the 18 year olds frequent them.
