The Manhattan lawyer who thinks the big problem with singles clubs is that women pay less to get in got the big brush off in court yesterday.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected claims by self-proclaimed "anti-feminist lawyer" Roy Den Hollander that letting women past the velvet rope for free or half price on "Ladies Nights" violates the Constitution.
The state has no control because "liquor licenses are not directed related to the pricing scheme" at the door, the court said.
The court, with evident amusement, said it must rule against Den Hollander even though "without action on our part, (he) paints a picture of a bleak future, where 'none other than what's left of the Wall Street moguls' will be able to afford to attend nightclubs."
Den Hollander, who sued the Copacobana, China Club, Lotus and others, blames militant feminists for the ladies-pay-less door policies - not prowling promoters trying to lure women to the clubs.
"The guys are paying for girls to party. I don't think that's fair," Den Hollander said. "It's a transfer of money fom the wallets of guys to the pocketbooks of girls."
He vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Asked to estimate the odds that the high court will agree to hear his case, Den Hollander said, "about the same as some pretty young lady paying my way on a date."
Memo to Den Hollander: trying to take freebies away from women isn't a terrific dating strategy.

What a moron. If the guys are paying for anything, they're paying for the girls to show up in greater numbers than at regular prices.
The lower prices attract more women. More women attract more men, who want to be there because there are more women than usual, etc., etc.
No kidding!
Creating a target rich environment by giving away product at a discount price to women, while charging full price to men seeking out said target rich environment is NOT sexist to men, it is a good business strategy!
When it was ruled that private individuals or businesses could not discriminate because of race, the door was opened for every kind of legal intervention in economic decision-making.
What would the Judge’s decision if it had been a “white persons night” at the bar with the same details. If different, why?

Well, men and women are attracted to each other in a sexual and romantic manner. Men, particularly young men, like bars filled with women because they get the opportunity to approach women when otherwise they would not. Bars, to promote thier business, have ladies nights which attract both men and women. Race is irrelevant to that.
Thanks, Tax-chick.
We love Cici’s. Haven’t been in a while, we may need to plan a lunch with friends.
I hear lefties using that type of reasoning all the time, about other subjects of course.
Has it not been the history of humanity for men to ply women with alcohol?
This nitwit is bitching because he can't get laid....even on a 1/2 price ladies' night, even at 2AM. Pathetic.
Most ladies' nights at bars are like shooting fish in a barrel. Simply find a solid icebreaker like "will those red shoes take us all the way to Kansas?" Delivery has to be funny but not mocking, or overtly sexual. Works every time.
Wasn’t it the Miller Lite commercials that had those 4 guys?
Those were hilarious.
Most ladies nights nowadays turn out to be mostly sausage parties.
Gay bars are the best place to pick up women. I’ll explain:
Sometimes women want to go out without being pestered by drooling men (or so they think). Yet, as the night wears on and they’ve been dancing and drinking, they start wishing that there were some real men in the place.
That’s when Mr. Straight Guy steps in to save the day. It works.
I had great success with this strategy back in my hedon days.
As Christian and a married man, I won’t recommend this course of action, but I can provide the information.
In the halcyon days of my misspent youth I can attest to the veracity of your assertion. Met some of the most beautiful women in such places.
He's got that "twinkle" in his eye......
