As you say, The Arches is a "'proper' nightclub, as in going there for the music"...

I draw an analogy with The Ministry of Sound - I've never got anything there from any women (apart from when I took one I was dating with me!), it's just a totally different atmosphere at Ministry (+very loud, +drugged up ppl who are disconnected, +*some* areas are dark) from some of the other clubs.

Whereas, last night I was at Digress (yes, also a nightclub but not a "proper" music club - as it's just club anthem cheese and Michael Jackson) and k-closed a hottie.

>> whether a nightclub is really going to bear any fruit

Yes it will. Stick with it! You've only just f***ing started going out on the pull for goodness sake!!!!

Plus, on that same night, you could have invited the Dutch girl to The Arches......

Every club is different

In Glasgow, compare the vibe at The Arches to The Garage - the latter being more relaxed, plus much cheaper entry & drinks. Go there next week and wear a cowboy hat and a smile....
