unplug your tv. i've done this and it's great, rarely home and often out until midnight or later seeing people. it's too easy to turn tv on just do nothing, which is fine every now and again, but imo more then once a week is too much.
So what you're saying is that because you've spent the time to make your home nice, and tailor it to your personal tastes so that you can truly dictate what you do with your time, and how you do it, that it is thus influencing your decisions on socialising?
Sounds fair to me. And of course if you have a propensity towards spending time alone (which is not a bad thing), it'll require less to knock you over to that decision to not go out.
I suppose it comes down to...does it matter? If you're happy, then so be it. If you're not happy with the idea to go out and meet girls, why not try internet dating? Or some sort of other activity in which you might meet women (a gym, or social club for example) that only requires you to be out and about for a limited amount of time.

I'm with you really nothing wrong with being an introvert.
I don't like going out and getting absolutely wasted but I do do it occasionally. I'd much rather go to the pub where you can drink and chat than go to some club where you can't hear anything and it's just the crappy top 40 blaring out.
Only reason I'd want to do that is if it was for proper club music but nowhere around me does this it's always just the crap in the charts. It's just 'expected' of young people to do this these days and of course if you don't fit in you're a weirdo. Just ignore what people think.

I've got a bit of a disco light (DMX) set-up at my house, so yes playing with those with a few bevvies is always nice while doing a bit of DJing.
Inventory:
- 4 PAR cans (150 x 10mm LEDs each)
- 4 Orion Aspects (16 x 3W LEDs each)
- 1 Domin8r (set of 8 scanners)
- 1 QTFX 1500W hazer
- 1 moonflower (1 10W LED)
- 1 mirror ball (1 10W LED)
- 3 Chauvet Colorbands (24 x 1W LEDs)
- 2 Power Blinders (36 x 1W LEDs)
... a bit more than a mobile disco set-up
Get a tacky Rotosphere into the mix!
tend to stay in more thango out. and if i go out itsonly really with the gf.
We have moved and friends etc are far away. Im also quite shy at first, which is obviously not good for meeting people.
Have a nice sofa/tv/sound center etc which makes staying in all too easy (and much cheaper)
Main activities include
tv
gym
cycling
tinkering
sometimes going out to cinema/bowling etc
all of those with the gf except tinkering

Im gonna say this - whats wrong with being single? Ive been single for 4 years and I shock even myself when I realize how happy I am. In fact with each passing year it gets happier.
Of course if I bump into some amazin woman @ the grocery store I wont complain - but I aint out there lookin and I dont miss it.
ATM I cant even comprehend sharing my home with anyone or even my time. Its just too good!
There is a HUGE difference between "alone" and "lonely". If you fall into the latter - by all means get out there and mingle
If not...enjoy the singleness & freedom.

Get better friends?
I haven't gone out much, long gone are the mid 2000s when I was out every weekend, but I did go clubbing 2 weeks ago with some mates and had an awesome time. I guess it's about finding balance between burning out by going out too often, and being a smelly hermit.
Good post, I think quite a few people fall into the lonely category unfortunately and wind up being with someone simply so they don't feel lonely.There is a HUGE difference between "alone" and "lonely". If you fall into the latter - by all means get out there and mingle
