Interest clubs for successful men. Interest clubs - addresses, phone numbers
You, of course, know that we all live in the “matrix” and are stuck in the gray sticky metro everyday life. And you always have a choice: you can sadly drag your string bag of cabbage home in the evenings, or you can confidently walk to where everyone understands that you are the “chosen one.” Yes, yes, if you didn’t already know, there are a lot of places in Moscow where you can find friends with similar interests. And we don't mean strip clubs at all. Here we're talking about about real gatherings of kindred spirits.
If you want to be a kind of Moscow Neo, decide what your soul is for and follow Zoon’s pointing finger.
Guys, stamps, 2 rubles
-I have a hobby - collecting money. Yes, we are not talking about bankers, but about numismatists. It’s better for you to communicate with colleagues who collect antique currency in a private setting - it’s no good walking around a metropolis with piastres. You can put your paw into someone else's collection at Moscow Hobby Fair. That is if you are frugal. Majors gather at a flea market on Taganka near the store "Numismatist". You can find rare coins there, but you will have to pay more modern rubles for it than in licensed stores.
By the way, philatelists also shop here. Look for stamps at reasonable prices from supporters of this centuries-old hobby at the sports complex in Luzhniki (10th entrance). And one of the largest places in the capital where people worship the postage stamp is Shopping center "Moskvorechye". There are simply monsters of philately hanging out here who will explain to you how to read the history of an entire country on a simple piece of paper.

Teenage delight, pedal to the metal, squealing brakes and the smell of burnt tires - all this unites those people who periodically have noisy gatherings in restaurants "Village Pub" at VDNKh. If you aim to be a street racer or are into drifting, you will be gladly accepted into their noisy company. After a couple of non-alcoholic mojitos, show your class in your jalopy on the site near the All-Russian Exhibition Center - everyone does it there. And if you need real drive, then you will find it on Vorobyovy Gory not far from the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity (30 Kosygina St.). Just remember that being chosen is not a reason to ignore traffic rules. Otherwise, you will have to spend time in a completely different society and place.

Are you always red-eyed because you're looking at the stars all night? Do you disdain office plankton? Can you find at least 10 rhymes for the word “tow”? “Yes, my friend, you are a poet!” You will meet fellow writers in FAQ cafe. This is the place where the atmosphere is so underground that you are tempted to howl on stage after a couple of glasses of the signature cocktail of the same name. True, the muse here does not come for free - on average, you will have to pay from 1000 rubles for inspiration.
Well, the real lair of the capital’s bohemia is the club-cafe Schwein. The capital's poets from the PaLITRA society gather here. You will have to pay 250 rubles for entry, but newcomers are allowed not only to perform, but also to take part in the competition. Similar evenings take place in the cafe "Sivka-Burka". Here you can not only read your poems, but also sing them with a guitar. A creative revelry will cost you about 1,500 rubles.

Have you long wanted to explain to foreigners over a white glass that we don’t have any bears, balalaikas or vodka? Dreams come true at language exchange parties as part of the Anti-boring Moscow project on Saturdays in the cafe-restaurant MyBar and at the bar Standard. Both Europeans and Asians gather here. By the way, practice shows that behind the bar, language barriers disappear as quickly as lipstick on a date.
But we are not foreigners, so they get tired of the rhythm “Friday – Moscow is swinging” and alternate dancing with decorous conversations in anti-cafes Time Club "Shelter". Here you can watch a movie with them or play a board game. If you leave at least 1,500 rubles in bars, then an anti-cafe will cost you from 1 ruble. in a minute.

Do you think that the best vacation is a healthy sleep on an active volcano? People who will support you spend their free time from the volcano in a bar "Weather forecast". Here you will meet extreme sports enthusiasts of all stripes: skydivers, surfers, snowboarders, and other “ists,” except perhaps masochists. Crazy people relax while watching a video filmed at the bottom of the ocean, or at bird's eye view, or in the crater of the same volcano.
And sometimes they want to jam to rock music, and then they go to the club "Top Bar"– a place for those who didn’t care about boring ordinary life. Rockers and bikers usually rock their horses here, so you can show off and come on an iron horse - there is somewhere to park it. And real rock concerts take place in Hard Rock Cafe. Here you can look at things that once belonged to famous musicians. In terms of the price tag, all three establishments are approximately the same - in the evening you will become poorer by at least 1,500 rubles.
Tell your friends
There are many interesting things in the world. People are constantly interested in one thing or another. It is not surprising that for the sake of better studying the subject of attention, interest clubs are born. At the same time, if one person’s funny hobby does not attract much attention, then the activities of a whole club of eccentrics are already in plain sight.
Such associations of people not only publicly demonstrate their commitment to habits, but may even put forward some demands. Cranks believe that this way they will force others to be inspired by their ideas. Below we will tell you about the most unusual interest clubs.
Club 13. In the English "Club 13" it is customary to break mirrors, spill salt, and light a cigarette with one match. Community members will be required to open umbrellas on the premises. Their colleagues from New York are not afraid of omens either; people there always dine in the company of 13 black cats.
Bald Club. The Bald Club was formed in Germany. It would seem, what complaints could people who have lost their hair have against the authorities? The club's board, however, officially appealed to the government with a request to issue free wigs to all bald people under 40 years of age. This measure will help people cope with hair loss more calmly.
Doubles Club. There is a Doubles Club in New York. To join there, you need to meet simple requirements - to be like some kind of celebrity. As a result, the club already had 7 Churchills and 11 Eisenhowers. One can only hope that it is not customary for the club to engage in political disputes.
Pedestrian club. In the same New York, since 1964, there has been a Pedestrian Club. True, it consisted of only two people. Over time, both the president and treasurer of the club purchased cars for themselves. As a result, society naturally ceased to exist.
Club of short people. An unusual community exists in Spain. There are 45 people in the Short People's Club. It is customary there to actively fight for the rights of its members. In particular, one of the club’s tasks is to provide all its members with permanent theater tickets for the first three rows.
Club of divorced people. In New York there is a Club for Divorced People with a very developed network of branches. Across the country, the organization has branches in 30 other cities. In addition to providing psychological assistance to victims, the club also conducts legislative activities. Recently he raised the issue of revising the divorce law. Club members didn't like the part that allowed child support defaulters to be put in jail.
Bachelors Club. But in Holland there is an antipode - the Bachelors Club. Over time, it was even reorganized into a political party. The club even decided to seriously fight for seats in parliament. At the same time, an elegant slogan campaign was used: “Dutch bachelors consider their life to be an ideal form and are ready to fight for it!”
Club of professional losers. The Professional Losers Club was created in London. His first meeting was attended by booed actors, unrecognized artistic geniuses, unknown musicians and lawyers who failed to save their clients from execution.
Mother-in-law Protection Club In Argentina, people united in the Mother-in-Laws Protection Club. Today there are already 137 members. All of them are exemplary sons-in-law who cannot tolerate insults towards their wives' mothers.
Club of husbands oppressed by their wives. In England for more than 70 years there has been a glorious Club of husbands oppressed by their wives. Thousands of men are secret admirers of the organization, but only 40 people are officially members of it. Only half the members attended one of the last conventions in Yorkshire. The rest, in letters and telegrams, explained the reason for their absence very simply: “My wife didn’t let me go.”
From this material you will learn:
Not just gatherings, but useful time
Three years ago I went on maternity leave from the position of press secretary of the head of the city and the city duma of the city of Sarov. I also worked in journalism, was the editor-in-chief of a political newspaper and a political strategist - in a word, my work has always been connected with people. When I went on maternity leave and moved to Nizhny Novgorod, I began to isolate myself from society. I really lacked cultural leisure - before that, I managed to visit 35 countries in three years and write a dissertation on the topic of religion, go to study abroad, and win several grants. And while on maternity leave, my life completely changed. She became very happy, but calm and lonely. My husband is at work all the time, I’m alone with the child! 
“Not just gatherings with friends in a cafe, but useful leisure time”
But that's not all. Maternity leave was coming to an end, and I had already fully formed a business that brings in a good income - the author’s first “School of Bloggers” in Nizhny Novgorod, courses and lectures on writing texts for social networks and promoting your own brand. Thereby many members of our club got the opportunity to promote themselves and their business. I provide them with comfortable conditions for developing a hobby, help with advertising and promotion, and teach them how to position themselves correctly on the Internet.Not spending money on advertising is my principle
The most interesting thing is that I didn’t invest a penny in the creation and promotion of the club. This is my principled position; as an experienced journalist and political strategist, I understood that if my club is unique and interesting, then people themselves will be drawn to it, including sponsors and partners. Everything was done by barter, we even rented the premises by agreement. We now have an agreement with a well-known restaurant chain in the city where most of our club’s meetings take place. The sponsors of the events we attended helped a lot - after all, the flow of new clients, members of our club, is primarily beneficial to them. All clients learned about me exclusively from my pages on social networks. At first, they subscribed to me as an interesting blogger, read my articles, then came to the club to get acquainted, and then went to study courses or consultations. From the very beginning, I had two options: either invest in advertising - buy banners, pay for publications in magazines, or promote myself as a person, as a brand. For me, as a person whose main profession for many years was related to the positioning of the city’s top officials and deputies, spending money on image articles in the magazine was simply unthinkable. This is a principled position - not to invest money in advertising and PR, to promote only through your texts, correct positioning of yourself and your clients who come to the Women's Club. As a result, I myself began to be invited to television, major Internet portals, and radio - and all this for free! Conclusion - you need to create a unique, unusual product, and then you will be interesting. There was no such format in Nizhny Novgorod - so it became very popular, even clones of my club began to appear. Of course, the experience of my past work helped me in promotion - all my adult life I have been creating an image through texts to deputies. And believe me, the methods of promoting a brand are absolutely the same for a girl who sews well and dreams of opening her own showroom, and for a deputy who wants to win elections. PR is PR everywhere, I simply used election technologies for ordinary women and helped them promote. Now I teach this in my courses.You may ask, how do I make money?
Everyone really likes the idea of women's get-togethers. Many people think: now I will gather like-minded people, we will hang out and go to events, and they will also pay me money for it. But not everything is so simple: organizing a women’s club is easy, but making money from it is very difficult. Especially if it Big city, where many events take place every day. I run a “School of Bloggers” in Nizhny, trainings and consultations. The main stream of clients comes from the same “Women’s Club”: girls come, communicate, and if they want to develop further, they come to me at the “School of Bloggers”, where I teach them how to position themselves and promote a brand.
Business can be based not only on satisfaction material needs people, but also spiritual or social. But if quite a lot has already been said about projects designed to provide for a wide variety of material needs of citizens, then there are somehow not enough business ideas designed to provide for spiritual, and even more so psychological needs.
Let's take, for example, such primary needs of every person as the need for communication and the need for self-realization. Their importance is difficult to overestimate.
If a person lacks communication with his own kind, then first there are changes in his behavior and character. He becomes irritable, sometimes aggressive. If the hunger for communication, and this is exactly what this phenomenon is called in psychology, is not satisfied in a timely manner, then permanent changes occur in the human psyche. And what’s interesting is monotonous communication, i.e. communication with the same people brings very little benefit, just like, for example, monotonous food. Communication should be multi-vector, as it allows a person to realize his various interests.
Who loves to communicate the most? Well, of course, women. Who is most limited in their social circle? The answer is repeated again: these are women. And why? And because during maternity leave they have to most spend days with the child and communicate with those who are in one way or another connected with caring for him (a doctor in a clinic, a nurse) or with those who are in the same position (mothers of other children). Also because many women do not go to work after maternity leave, but stay at home to care for their grown-up children and run a large, troublesome household.
How to make a business out of this women's difficulty? We offer to provide women with the opportunity to get together and talk about topics that interest them. And this can be done with the help of the most ordinary women's club.
A women's club is not an analogue of a circle of interests familiar to us from the pioneer past. The idea of a women's club is much broader: this is a place where a woman can fully communicate, receive advice or support if necessary, learn something new for herself, and also fulfill her truly feminine need - the need to look good, which, by the way, is necessary constantly stimulate.
Women's clubs are a new phenomenon for post-Soviet countries, but in non-CIS countries it is very common. The clubs there have many fans, although membership is not free. But the amount of membership fees is not large and is affordable to the majority of women in a given country.
The most important thing in the work of a club is to find that “zest” in its activities, to form an idea that could bring people together and keep them together. There are different options here. For example, on the basis of the club, you can organize master classes in cooking, dancing, shaping, meetings with famous dentists, plastic surgeons, cosmetologists, etc.
All these people, in turn, will be interested in meeting with such an audience, since for them this is a good advertisement for their services and self-affirmation. Such meetings can be either one-time or systematic (a course of lectures, a system of trainings, group and practical classes). The choice of one form or another of their implementation depends entirely on the interest of the audience and its desires.
In order for club life to be diverse, it is necessary, of course, to periodically review the topics, as well as the leaders of such meetings. And to do this, you will have to devote enough time to searching for new topics and people who can present them in an accessible and engaging way to a female audience.
Today it has become a very fashionable trend in the activities of women's clubs psychological counseling. Women always have many problems, because a heavy burden is placed on their shoulders - children, their studies, maintaining a family home, and for many, also work. Spinning in the endless cycle of these affairs, women have no time to stop and think about themselves. Women do everything for everyone, but nothing or very little for themselves. How to maintain your psychological health? Practical psychologists who provide consultations for members of the women's club can help them find the answer to this question.
You can attract clients in other ways. For example, for club members to provide beauty salon, sauna or bathhouse services. Another option. Every woman who attracts a friend to the ranks of the club members receives a discount or bonus. In this way, the club’s audience will expand, and, consequently, the business will expand.
A visit to the club can be organized using single tickets or subscriptions or special club cards that provide certain benefits for their owners.
Of course, in such a business as a women's club, one cannot do without advertising. But unlike other businesses, where advertising is aimed at the mass consumer, advertising for a women's club must be precisely targeted at target audience, as they say, hit not in the eyebrow, but in the eye. It’s a good idea to reflect the topic of opening a club in the media and on online forums. This approach will give the event a certain weight and significance.
Undoubtedly, a women's club as a business is a very specific thing. And to ensure the success of such a business, you need to put in a lot of imagination and creativity, and the “promotion” of such a project can take not one year, but several years.
Therefore, you can try to buy a ready-made women’s club that already has an image. On the one hand, it’s easier - you don’t have to look for ideas, create client base, wondering how to keep it. Everything has already been established - from the very concept of the club to the worked out directions of cash flows.
But on the other hand, it may be difficult to maintain the idea underlying the club’s activities. It may not be very suitable for the new owner purely on a psychological level. Then you will have to make a difficult choice: either continue to implement the old concept of the club, although it may not seem very attractive, or invent something new.
Whatever option you choose to open a women's club - creating from scratch or purchasing, you must remember that a women's club is far from a simple, but very interesting business.
