Anyone not enjoy your average night in town?

I'm 18 and have never really been to a club, I dislike drinking and loud dance music also not fond of crowds so I assume I wouldn't like a club haha, prefer to stay in and read/play games.
 
I used to go clubbing a lot when I was 17/18/19, but nowadays I see it as a waste of cash - prefer just to go to a few pubs and go home when they shut.
 
Just a phase of growing up I was club/party mad from 17-22 end of uni whatever... I couldn't think of anything more boring now. Watered down overpriced ****y beer and you cant even smoke/talk/hear yourself. Full of little kids looking for fights after their crap week on the building site and other crap people trying to justify their crap lives with a "mad weekend"
 
Only first went when I was 20, didn't enjoy it. Been 2 more times since and it's plenty to realise it just isn't my thing. Nothing about it appeals to me. pubs or houseparties are much more my thing :)

It doesn't really matter who I go with, I feel relatively awkward. I'm almost too controlled to let myself go infront of people. As most of you guys, I prefer an afternoon/night in a not so overcrowded bar and having a laugh.

20 years old and hate clubbing and going out and getting drunk... and your gf is of the opposite mind? Enjoy the relationship while it lasts, my prediction is that you won't be in it for many more months.

She doesn't get drunk and it's peer pressure. The only time her mates have anytime for her(which is wrong, imo) is a Saturday night clubbing session - I can't really argue with it, she'll be left without mates(despite the fact that they are incredibly immature students). However, I agree Rich.

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.

Amen to that. But I'm 22. Thankfully by now most people have grown up a bit and are less interested in going out 2372 times a week. I still get asked to come out though, but I usually end up turning people down.

For me, clubbing has very little appeal. There's nothing worse than standing around in the dark at 1.30am, half asleep, with drunken morons all around you having 'a good time'. When my friends ask me to go out, I usually say 'maybe' which turns into a 'probably' but back to a no when it gets to 11pm and I start realising, frankly, what a waste of sleep I'd be getting if I did go out!

The only clubs I like to go to really are rock clubs because the music is usually good and there are less drunken idiots. But really, the whole experience numbs me. Socializing for me is about having a good time with friends and having a laugh, and I can't see how you can do that stumbling around in the dark with a load of strangers when you can't even hear your own voice.

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'm the same :) not a fan of loud clubbish music, hate dancing with others (look like a berk), would much rather go out to a pub/bar and have a drink and conversation.
 
At 24 I probably only go out about once a month now, which is a lot less than in my student days when i'd be happy to get drunk for several days in a row.

Nowadays my friends are the same as me so the only time I really go out and get hammered is work nights out. Some of my workmates are great but it always ends up going to the same places, the same people drifting away at the same time, REALLY boring. I also feel ripped off getting a taxi home at the end of the night (I live 15 miles away from them so never share it either). I was due to go to a work night last night but made my excuses in the end, sat in and saved myself £50+ and felt pleased about it. :)
 
When I was a teenager I used to enjoy it, but now I've reached my twenties I'd rather go to a pub than be in a club full of drunk fools trying to impress each other.

I agree that it does depend who you're with though. I still go clubbing every week or so but only if I know the people who I'm going with will be a good laugh.

If her mates want to go then why is it an issue, just let her go with her mates. Just tell her your not into clubbing. Gives you more gaming time! Glasgow has lots of cracking wee bars, no need for clubs. The only time I do go to a club it's if it's some occasion like a birthday and even then it tends to be cheesy clubs like Jumpin Jaks which can actually be a right laugh.
 
Used to absolutely love going out and getting munted. These days, I rarely enjoy it. I do however, LOVE having a natter and dancing like a lunatic.

I still do it, go out with the guys / or gals, especially for big events. Generally I make sure I buy a round or two, but avoid drinking much, when people have had a few they don't notice.

As for social envireonments. You're an adult, man up, and go out with your missus and have a great time, you don't have to spend a fortune or be glued to her the whole evening, but you should make an attempt to enjoy the things she does. As long as it's reciprocated.

My tuppence anyhoo, please don't think I'm judging. I used to be very socially awkward, and sometimes still I struggle, but I pushed through it and forced myself into an industry that demands outgoing, confident attitudes, and it worked a treat. You don't have to be socially confident, just gotta be good at pretending ;)

Ant :cool:
 
Im 27, but never liked clubbing, though Ive had my fair share of it. Personally Id rather sit down my local (the Fat Cat) and drink a fair few ales \o/.
 
Hey mate,
I'm from Glasgow too. I wouldn't be anywhere near the clubs since I've already got a girlfriend, but she likes to go out with her friends to Social, Kushion and Bamboo every now and then, so I tag along too.

Being there with her helps when there are drunk pricks trying to pick up the girls (they're all taken, but I'm the only guy that goes out) because if a guy comes up to one of the girls, then they can turn and dance with me and hopefully the guy gets the message.

I've seen some proper creeps out at night, that persist constantly, try kissing them etc. I'd rather being there to support them than sitting at home hoping they are ok.

Oh and, I've kinda stopped drinking. I can handle the club situation better when I can just hop in the car and be home with only ringing ears, no hangover.

After exams I'll have a good night out of my own sort, a mini-lan with plenty of beer, and no club pricks.

But me and my gf generally agree that we can't be bothered with clubs on our own, she just wants to spend time with her friends and they want to go to the clubs, thats the cycle.
 
Loud noises distress me, so clubbing is pretty much out... plus it's a waste of money, none of my mates do it either, and I disapprove of over drinking in general.

That's the club I go to!

Though, I only go out every few weeks now. Can't be bothered with 2-3 nights each week like I used to.

Yea, I probably go once a month or so now too, mainly because of money though :p

50p Vodka mixers sound cheap, but then you end up drinking loads because they are cheap so the whole night ends up expensive :D
 
all the standard clubs you get in town centers are horrid. same crap music week in week out, it's like my SU.

i like going raving still, but it's few and far between, and i never get ruined anymore really. all my house mates are girls, and they're out in town every other night... i really can't understand how or why they do it so regularly :confused:
