I was reading the funny confessional pages in a magazine recently, and the theme was ‘nightlife’. There were lots of stories from women mistaking strangers for their boyfriends, drinking a little too much, and even falling out of a taxi. I wondered who these women are, that have such dramatic, comedic nights on the town, and then I realised; these women are everyone!
I was so amused by the stories that I searched online for some more, and came across a survey about women’s experiences on nights out and why they enjoy having a night in every so often.
Apparently 7.3% of women, that’s 146 all together, have walked out of the bathroom with their dress tucked into their knickers! I thought that was hilarious. Plus, I’m glad I’m not alone in regards to laddering my tights really early into the evening, transforming my look from $1million, to $1 in the blink of an eye. In fact, 31% of women have done the same.
I guess alcohol could play a part in our trials and tribulations; only 12% of women have been to or attended a totally alcohol free event. We could cut back on the cocktails and wine…but where’s the fun in that?
I guess it’s no surprise that 66% of us would prefer a night in with the girls than a night painting the town red when so much could go wrong. The fact we get to avoid sleazy guys and reduce the risk of bumping into the ex are great reasons to stay in as well.
Next time someone asks me if I want a night on the tiles I might suggest finding some tasty cocktail recipes, put on a cheesy romance and have a real catch up in the warmth and security of home!
