Anyone not enjoy your average night in town?

Then again you are posting on OCUK on a Saturday night. Here you are only going to find the grumpiest ****s. All of the replies are going to fairly similar.
 
Personally I don't like to go out unless I can afford to get absolutely hammered, or it's no fun really. I'm not single either, which doesn't help, because then unless your drunk there's not much to do really...

I'm 19 and nothing bores me more than the idea of going out to a club and getting wasted. I'll keep my money for things I get lasting appeal from.

Seconded, though I'm 20.

Some people have a hard time understanding why anyone wouldn't like "clubbing" and getting wasted, some are offended and confused when they meet people who don't like doing.

"what do you mean you don't drink and 'go out? It's normal and everyone does it, you're supposed to go clubbing and get wasted!"

For me, I can't see a bigger waste of time and money, especially considering how a lot of it is forgotten anyway.
 
I haven't been to a night club since I was 21 and that was eons ago, had some laughs (sorry for throwing a pint of beer over you if you're reading) but it was never something I did for long. Not much lasting appeal.

Oh man, tell me about it, pretty much everyone over the course of 9 years who does it says the same thing to me.

I guess it attracts a lot of people like this, people who can't understand people have different likes/dislikes. These people are stupid morons! :)

I've been out a few times just to reinforce my point on disliking it, I will never go out to places like these again, it's boring.
 
People staying in on a Friday night on a computer forum in "not enjoying clubs" shocker :p

I love pubs, talking, ales and whiskey, a quiet night with some friends and a few games of pool. I also enjoy heading to a club night with music I like and having a good stomp. Many of the Edinburgh clubs aren't brilliant, and I avoid the union cheese night like the plague, but there's good times to be found - not about getting mashed or trying to pull, just going with a few mates for a dance about and a release, in places that can play the music I like at a volume my setup can't provide and my neighbours wouldn't appreciate!

You don't have to make a choice between pubs and clubs, being civilised or getting trashed, just find better events with a nice crowd of likeminded people who are just there for a good time and appreciate the music. The vast majority of my nights out will be in a pub, doesn't stop the occasional epic rave in a warehouse/field or one of the London monthly clubs I used to go to. Good times.
 
I'm 19, and personally dislike clubbing a lot, to the point where I will just not bother going out that evening when all my friends go. But I'm weird, I don't drink either, so that probably has something to do with it.
 
I prefer going round to a friends and playing some Xbox etc and watching a movie.

Although once in a while I do like to go out and drink and have fun in a bar/club - but only probably once/twice a month max

Just had a massive talk with my GF - Won't go into details but a tiny part of our discussion, from what I can assume was basically an attempt at getting me to open up and like weekend clubbing sessions? "You shouldn't slate them because you don't try them". Now, I'm a couple of years older and it's fair to say I've been to a lot more clubs than she has but I've never enjoyed it.

I'm confident looking but very shy, reserved and awkward in those environments. Then there's the fact that I don't like the idea of getting hammered and spending Sunday feeling like I've been ran over! Though, I'm often made to feel like I'm the only 20 year old male living in the UK(especially Glasgow) that doesn't do it? I always pictured myself being in a relationship with someone like-minded on the situation, too. That hasn't ever went accordingly.

Am I the only one?

Apologies if that made no sense, it's late and I'm severely exhausted - yet, can't sleep!

I agree, I don't see the point on going out and getting hammered .... don't feel that good, or comfortable, whilst out and see no point in feeling lousy aferwards ...
 
I started going clubbing at the end of last year, and the night I came back totally lashed not being able to remember much, then waking up to painted nails and graffiti all over me and feeling like death I thought, this is the last straw. I was more ill than I've ever being in my life. Then I went and had a korma in the morning, not good. But that's put me off because the thought of even getting remotely drunk turns my stomach so I rarely even drink now. I might have the odd pint of Guinness now and again but that's it.

The one and only reason going to clubs is for pulling tbh. That is it.
 
Going to a place where you get hammered and can’t hear yourself think never was part of my scene. I wasn’t the only one all of my mates found it boring.
 
as i said before i only enjoy it if im mashed, especially since I'm not single. I say this to my mates, and say most people inc them only really go to get on girls (my mates are all single lol) and they get all offended and claim to go to meet new people and socialize and "have a good time", but when I go with them, they just try to get on and dance with every other half decent girl in sight.
 
Prefer going to the pub for a few, i hate going to clubs, mainly because i'm not a fan of staying up past midnight and i see going clubbing as the fact you're going to get hammered and i don't like getting drunk so it's not my scene.

Not really any more, though I did for slightly longer. Liverpool only really has a few clubs and they're easy to avoid if you don't want to go there. It's mostly bars with dancefloors here so they're not too bad. It's also very compact here (smaller city centre than people think) so it's easy to walk around to do what you want.

Though saying that the 19-21 year uni crowd did leave me with a lot of good memories.
 
I hate going into clubs, i like a few beers in town pubs with mates but thats it, the clubs are overpriced, fairly unsociable as you can only shout to one person at a time and boring. Even beers up town is quite rare now.

I don't get hammered that often either, i like to get to the stange when you happy and having a laugh, any more you feel crap at the end of the night and even worse the next day.

You're not alone with hating clubs, you just need to find a group of friends like you, you'll have far more fun in a pub or at home, invite a few mates over and get the console games out and crack the beers open!
