1. THE DRUNK
Uptown is full of bars so when aren’t you going to have a drunk man stumble your way….literally stumble. Trying to have a conversation with a drunk man is one of the most interesting conversations to have. He is always trying to get a bite out of your food and his friends are on the other side of the street calling his name. Sometimes you ask yourself, “Where is his shirt?”
2. THE FRAT BOY
This is your typical Uptown guy. Whether he is walking out of Rec Room shirtless or screaming at the top of his lungs at CVP, you know one thing is that he is most likely to be apart of a fraternity. Almost 75% of Towson students are apart of Greek Life and that is a great thing! These guys either dress to impress at bars or are completely shirtless and wilding out. They are the ones who the most entertaining on the streets when drunk. Catch them doing backflips on a Saturday night.
3. THE GUY WHO ALWAYS WANTS TO GET SPIRITUAL
There’s always a group of religious students asking drunk people to pray with them and inform them about the Lord. I remember that one time this guy asked us to pray with him in public when people were casually screaming and falling everywhere.
4. THOSE GROUP OF GUYS WHO ARE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL
5. THE POETIC AND ARTSY GUY
This man is shy and won’t really approach you first. He typically has hundreds of tattoos or is always in the corner smoking a cigarette while everyone is dancing. These types of guys seem very reserved at first but start to open up to you when you are both talking about similar interests at 2AM. When he puts down that cigarette, you can tell that he’s into you.
6. THE FRIENDLY FOREIGNER
Uptown Towson attracts a lot of foreign exchange students to the nightlife. There is a 75% chance you will meet a guy from a foreign country. They are very friendly and you will have no problem having an hourly long conversation. They will tell you all about their life and how much America is different from their country. It is also good to learn another language or two.
7. THE THIRSTY OLDER GUY ALWAYS HITTING ON FRESHMEN
These are the type of guys who don’t care about how they look and are ALWAYS getting drunk at bars. ALWAYS. They are the ones who smell like cigarettes and alcohol. These guys will hit on you and try to invite you back to their house. Some are very conversational and friendly but others are just creepy.
8. THE “I-DON’T-GO-TO-TOWSON-I-GO-TO-MORGAN-STATE” GUY
You are always going to meet someone from MSU because they are located 15 minutes away from Towson. These are the same guys who are always bashing Towson but still partying it up...in Towson. No matter what school you go to, you are always going to end up partying in Uptown.
