Is it wrong not to like clubbing?

Typical Friday/Saturday night clubbing, getting stupidly drunk, surrounded by people with attitude - can't stand it.

Typical student clubbing, getting stupidly drunk, with god awful music - can't stand it.

Proper clubbing, with decent DJs, playing good music, in a venue with like minded people - best place in the world :cool:
 
I'm 21 and have never been to a club. I have no interest in meeting new people and I don't to trust people I've not grown up with. Which you might think is a bit wierd, but my girlfriend is the same and I'm super happy. I'd much rather be chilling with her, doing whatever, it's awesome. I just don't like people, and can't stand the type's that do go clubbing.

For me, people that go out clubbing are going for one thing only. It annoys me because I think I'm old fashioned in the sense that I think you should care for someone before you do anything with them. The funny thing is, half of the women I've seen that go clubbing tend to be putting it on show and just seem very, very easy. It makes me laugh because my girlfriend think it's funny aswell, it's bloody great.

People might think I'm a bit of a **** because chances are there's more people on here that do or have been clubbing, but you've got to ask yourself, from the all people you class as friends you go clubbing with, how many of them would really have your back if anything happened?


You sould exactly like me at that age. I didn't really go clubbing till I was 25ish. I'm 33 in November and go clubbing twice a Month at least, usually more. I'm so glad I realised that clubbing isnt what I thought it was and got my ass out and enjoyed myself. Yes there are girls are you describe but that doesnt mean you have to do anything with them. I go out with a few groups of different friends, both lads and lasses and I've never wanted to get it on in a club. I'm happy socialising and dancing like a fool.

As for your last question. Most of the people I go coubbing with are my most truested friends, some I class as family. So most if not all of them.
 
I have reached the age where we, as a group of friends, prefer to go out for a meal then sit there all night over food wine and coffee and gab away instead..in a relaxed atmosphere, in comfort...choose a restaraunt that wont hurry you and as long as you keep buying the wine are happy for you to have a table all night!

I was never int 'clubbing' anyway..but again my musical tastes disnt meet with the ususal clubs in the area...thank God for the Mayfair though in Newcastle..many a happy nigth spent in there..nice to see the carling academy has decent nights as well now..you need a good rock venue

This is me and my group of friends now. I don't know if it's because we all have GFs/BFs now and grown up, but clubbing doesn't appeal anymore.
 
Definitely not, I hate clubbing. Give me a good pub any time.

Though the best thing is pubs with club licences, usually they still have a some kind of dance floor but have separate rooms. One of my favourites has 4 rooms upstairs for drinking/sitting and a large dance floor downstairs, where I've never heard them playing typical "club music" :)

Edit. Note, I DO NOT mean a one-room bar trying to be a club, those are different and are awful!

I think we can all agree the worst thing in the world is a bar that tries to be a club.

There are seats, but the music is so loud what is the point? Its not fun to try to talk when there is loud music - you can't hear anyone.

One day when I am rich I'm going to have my own pub or club called 'The Awesome Shark'. You are all invited :cool:

call it 'The Locke Inn' and i'l turn up mate
 
I don't like getting drunk, but I drink 2-3 pints... I don't see the fun in it, I don't want to end up with some dog the morning after either and catch some STDs

You don't have to get drunk to have a laugh. I drive 1/3 times usually and still have a great time.

Have to lol at the getting drunk and pulling a dog/std statement. If you can't control yourself after a few drinks there's no hope for you.

I don't tend to get smashed but even if I'm just at a pub for an evening I'd through more than that. Although I have started to think I'm an alcoholic, I've drunk 8 days in a row and I'm making myself have an evening off.

You can definitely differentiate the people in this thread who know good clubbing and those who have had a bad experience and been put off for life.

You have got it spot on there IMO.
 
I prefer "proper" pubs or country pubs tbh - I like being able to talk to my mates. The glass fronted ones have no character and do my head in. I used to go clubbing when I was about 20 but wasn't that keen on it then - the only reason I put up with it was because I was so horribly inebriated at the time.

Clubs seem to attract too many idiots who want to fight the world after a few Babychams. As for some of the "ladies" that frequent the places... :eek: Someone needs to tell the larger ones that hotpants, stockings etc really don't look that great on them! That and women that are easier than a 2 piece jigsaw puzzle really aren't my thing (not keen on stirring half the population's porridge).

I would only go clubbing now if it was to an oldskool house/hardcore night.

I'd like places that play a range of music and are not clubs, I like abit of hip hop but I dont think I'd like the crowd that like hip hop, I like lots of music back to the 70's, I just dont like dance much and happy hardcore crap, and a lot of hip hop music is crap too.
 
Not everyone goes to a club to pull. I've been on countless occasions (Pretty much 2-3 times a week for most of the second year of uni at one point) and have never once gone to pull or attempted to pull. You don't go clubbing to 'make friends' you go there with existing friends to have a decent evening.

I wouldnt say I'm a huge clubbing fan but with the right crowd I've had many enjoyable nights out at various clubs. I think its who you are with not where you go.
I agree with this. The best club in the world is boring if you're on your own.. until you've had 10 pints. But by then - anything is good!
