We're onto you, you bunch of bars hosting ladies' nights. When you say "ladies get in free!" and "bottomless margaritas!" you really mean: “We don’t have enough women to even draw men into the bar at this point. Please bring your hoo-ha in and drink for next to free as our male clientele thrust sexual propositions your way until you get fed up enough to walk out or sleep with one of them.”

A few tequila shots later and all we want to do is punch at and throw drinks in those skeezy dudes' faces. Luckily, there’s an outlet for just that kind of frustration every Friday night at indoor paintball arena Xtreme Pursuit, 4240 West Camelback Road. The establishment hosts Ladies' Night every Friday at 6 p.m. when members of the fairer sex aren't charged for admission or rentals.

Attendees will need to purchase ammo, or maybe some nice fella will shell out for it. “Miss, can I buy you a shot?” never sounded more tempting.

Fridays, 6-10 p.m. Starts: June 1. Continues through Dec. 28, 2012
