Paying to enter a place with **** music, sweaty people and not being able to hear a thing?
Seems daft to me.
Go to a place with music you like.
Go to a place where they have an area to chill out and have a conversation.
There are plenty of places like this, just ask around. Although I have a sense you won't do this and will log on to TSR at the weekend instead. -

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?Standard countryside experience ... these suburban kids don't understand lol(Original post by klipspringer)
My 18th birthday was 2 days before results day for A levels, so my first time out was results night. As I'm a country bumpkin, I was staying with a friend who lived in the city so I had to stick with her all night. It was great while most of my friends were around, but once they went home I was stuck trailing after the friend I was staying with and the guy she'd pulled til 5am getting way too sober :L Not the best night. -

Oh I'm glad we have an expert in reading people's personalities based on 3 lines of text around here. You mean like a bar or a pub,
? because yes, these scenes are much better than the typical club.
but thanks for evaluating me, means a lot. -

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?After watching American Teen Films for years in the lead up, I was sorely disappointed. There was no StiffMeister characters and lots of people in tight T-shirts.

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?Tbh, my first night clubbing was in France when I was 17 and it was amazing
Best club, best people. It just makes me depressed how much more energetic I was back then, only 5 years ago. I partied 10 days in a row, 3 hours sleep each night. No stopping me. Now I go to wine bars and start yawning around midnight. Such a grandma.Last edited by Aconcernedparent; 25-05-2012 at 22:30. -

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?My first night clubbing was...magical. The beginning of the night was simple, and we had no idea of the joys in store for us. As we went past the bouncers, I heard the cherubic tones of Sean Paul and Lady Gaga, getting ever so slightly louder with every step our little party took. Then suddenly - high above it - a Jack Daniels and Coke, sitting on the counter unwavering, till my hand instinctively poured it down my gullet and my stomach sweetened it into a drink of such delight! This was no slapdash cocktail by a performing barman! This was a drink I'd never drunk, and a night I had never been out on. Filled with such longing, such sweaty and promiscuous longing, the sluts in the club grinding up against me had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was experiencing the very nightclub of God.

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?yeah this i loved when they play this(Original post by guantanamera)
the best thing to hit the clubs was Flo Rida's "Low"...
watching a dancefloor squat every 30 seconds provides some real Kodak moments. -

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?I was a bit surprised that Freshers is the first time going out for so many people aswell - but then again you have to remember that TSR isn't really an accurate representation (or I don't believe it to be anyway). I think the VAST majority of people I know went clubbing at least when they first turned 18 in A2 year if not before. I suppose if you live somewhere really small you wouldn't have been, or if you have no interest in it whatsoever, but I find that most people have been at least once even if they later decide they don't enjoy clubbing.(Original post by Blind Ferret)
Wait what? Freshers the first time going out? Do you come from a small village or something. I'm sorry if it's just me but as far as I'm aware people go to clubs as young as 16.
Edit: 3 Negs for stating my surprise? I said i'm sorry if it was just me, evidently it is. I didn't know you all waited till you where 19-20 to have a night out. I wonder, if some African kid moved to England and was surprised that he had clean running water, would you negg him aswell? Jeez, some people want all their questions answered but want to give nothing back.
I first when clubbing the day after my 18th..I was fairly drunk but can still remember the entire night. There was a drinks offer on where it was basically 2 for 1, so I had 2 drinks in my hands the whole night. I had work the next day at 8.30 working in a department store. Was not fun, I dreaded customers coming up to me because I genuinely was worried I might be sick. I felt very sorry for myself that day after! -

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?Think it's a countryside thing - plenty of people round here do go, but you have to be willing to blow fairly serious money on just getting somewhere (or rather, getting back) before you've even started. Loads of people here don't even live within a reasonable distance of a station, so by the time you've got a taxi or a lift to the station, a train or three to somewhere where there actually are clubs, entry, and the journey back....yeah, you have to be pretty bothered, and you're certainly not going to risk it on the off chance that you'll get in if you're underage.(Original post by LouLou92)

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?Got smashed, went out and then the police turned up after people started getting rowdy due to a delay in the arrival of a much hyped foam machine which was apparently stuck on the M6.
It was hilarious and has been a something to bond over with pretty much any member of my uni year ever since! -

Re: What was your first night 'clubbing' like?The original point of clubbing was probably to go with a bunch of people to enjoy some good music. Now the point is to go to a place which gets you spaced out with alcohol, deafening music and crazy lighting and take loads of pointless pics so everyone knows you were there having the time of your life and are the most social person ever. For guys there is an added point of going to try and get girls. With this in mind my first experience of the latter was one of complete boredom and earache. And of the former a really good relaxing time but not as "special" and amazing" as everyone makes clubbing out to be. Was just in a room with some people enjoying some music I liked. Don't see why it has to be made into some sort of rite of passage
