Reminds of being a young guy and feeling annoyed when girls are being let into clubs for free without waiting in line, and I had to wait in line and pay. Sometimes I could not get in because the club was "full", but the girls would be allowed in.

If the service is free, you are the product :-)

In the 80's a club near me got into some sort of trouble for that so they switched to skirt night - only a tiny number of men were willing to wear a skirt to get in free.

It used to be that promoters were paid per woman they brought to the club and nothing for men, and they would in turn charge a cover per man.

No idea how these businesses operate now. I'm sure there's still sliding scales of sliminess based on the quality of the club and its management.
