It only works for women, but it's not exactly uncommon. Men have to make the offer of buying a drink. Sexist rules, but what can you do. The point is that by asking the man if he'd like to offer her a drink, the woman is signposting that she is opening the negotiations. I think that Shin is assuming that thirdjean means a nightclub. It is a meat market on the club scene, after all. That's pretty much what nightclubs are for.
Things can't be that different in the states, surely? When people go out to a nightclub in England, a lot of them are looking to get laid. If thirdjean really does mean an interest club rather than a nightclub then none of this is relevant, but it wouldn't be bad advice for a nightclub situation.

Agreed. By asking him about the rumour, the topic creator would be placing the onus on him, whereas if it is unspoken, things remain nicely tension-free.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
