Tonight I stayed at home, in my room and I've watched some IoM TT, some other TV shows, and listened to music that's new to me while drinking some cans of beers. I did this rather than go out with my friends socialising.

I think I did this because everything about my house is better than the external alternative. My TV is nice, my sound system is nice, my music choice is far more suited to my tastes and I didn't have to get off my arse once.

If I didn't have these comforts I think it would be different. If I only had a fold out chair and a 15" CRT and a freeview box I'd probably have gone out instead.

Perhaps I'm a bit of a loner though? One or two of my friends have much nicer houses than me but get incredibly agitated if they don't go out at the weekends and see people. I'll happily go a few weeks without contacting some of my friends on the knowledge that the next time I see them there is no questions asked about the time gap.

My only problem is that I am currently single. I have to go out to meet girls. So far I've not met a girl that is content with house life (perhaps I just need to get one of them pregnant?). Anyone, perhaps my house is too nice an rather than investing my money in my home and material objects for my home I should be spending it on going out more often and have the attitude that 'who cares if my house is **** because I'm never there'. At the moment I'm the opposite. I've not yet decided which path is the correct one.

Anyway, I've had a few beers and really I'm just putting this out there to see if I'm talking absolute nonsense or if it rings true with anyone else.

Have a good night,

tl;dr version :

I want to watch films and drink beer at home and make no effort to socialise with other human beings. Why am I single?

Maybe in a nutshell but, if that is the concise blurb of my post, then I have a different question to ask; why do some people appear to socialise with no effort and, in fact, seem to require effort to do the opposite?
 
I guess I'm the same as you. I'd much rather stay at home than go out. I'd rather bring a girl home and watch a film in the comport of my own home then get fleeced for food and drink and tickets for a cinema or something!
 
It's up to you how you go about things. I personally spend most of my spare time at home doing something whether that means designing something in photoshop or watching tv I would rather do that then be out constantly doing things with friends my friends are quite interested in playing games on steam ect so I will play online but as far as leaving the house and doing things that doesn't happen often . :) if you are unhappy about being single or feel like your alone all the time then defo get out and do things as you can socialise but if you are happy as you are then continue doing what you're doing .

Sorry for long post ! :)
 
OcUK gay hook up thread? am i right ? Do you want me to be right ? Mr Right ? i love you. Pk.lease dont leave me.
 
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 :-)
 
going out generally isn't the best way to meet a partner anyway

Maybe look on google for some meet up groups in your city that do something you are interested in with no one expecting to hook up.

btw I'm a loner to I have one person I would call a friend and that's my ex wife lol
I'm autistic though so meeting people is a pain in the backside for me and I am happiest alone.

There was a time in my life when I wanted a partner tbh now I think I could go from now until I die being single and not really being bothered until I'm really old but by then I will probably be in an old peoples home or something anyway so I won't die with my body being undiscovered for weeks

Well this is the other aspect. Were I to go out, it would be to the pub and then later on if the mood is right, on to a club, which as you say is pretty poor for prospective women. The only girls I've met and liked have been introduced to me or I've met from a common cause. I doubt I've missed out by staying in tonight. In fact I think I've saved money, saved tha calories fo the inveitable kebab and listened to some awesome music in my awesome home. F socialising :) Gonna grab a couple of beers now and listen to an awesome album them go to sleep until the F1 tomorrow :D Brilliant weekend imo.
 
This thread is depressing, needs more sloth pictures.

If you are lonely, maybe you should try getting a pet?
 
Nothing wrong with that, don't try and make problems.
If you enjoy staying at home, don't act as if not going out is bad. Think of all that saved money that can be used on things you actually enjoy.

Sad thing is those who like staying at home are going to have a hard time finding a stay at home partner :D
 
i went out on Thursday with a few mates for 1st time in 3 years it was fun but to be honest i much prefer being at home i'm happily settled and going out really is no use unless you are looking for a partner.
would rather just have friends round here or go to there house cheaper and still get same fun banter.
some friends find it odd that i have no interest in going out getting wasted and do not really believe i can be so happy just being at home with misses. i guess with out enjoying spending time with her and kids i would probably be climbing the walls
 
Home was a condo on the fifteenth floor of a filing cabinet for widows and young professionals. The walls were solid concrete. A foot of concrete is important when your next-door neighbor lets their hearing aid go and have to watch game-shows at full volume. Or when a volcanic blast of debris that used to be your furniture and personal effects blows out of your floor-to-ceiling windows and sails flaming into the night. I suppose these things happen.

Like so many others, I had become a slave to the Ikea nesting instinct.

Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think every thing you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned

Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?
