I. A few weeks ago I went over to some "clubs" with some friends (clubs of the sort I expect are dying: it's something I don't normally do, but the crowd urged me to go and I went with the crowd (what, it happens sometimes, you never do?)), and the club, despite its reputation and slutty Instagram feed, was strangely grim: too many guys and too few women, and the guys were circling the area, hunting, seemingly, for any hint of female attention.
