Holiday + PressuresSo just announced to some family members I'm going to Spain for a week in July, and they all where shocked, and wanted to comfort me "Aww why you going alone"... REALLY bitch?
Most people travel alone and I have plans of things I want to do, things I wouldn't be able to do if I went with friends. Don't get me wrong, I'm going clubbing, I'm going to meet woman, I'm definitely going to get drunk. I don't see the problem?
Why is there a pressure for me to go on holiday with loads of friends? I have done that before, and it's great as well, but I want something different this time.
My brother suggested going with my sort-of-girlfriend, I was like no no no. So now there seems to be some sort of thing about woman as well on holiday, like NAPA or Ibiza....
If you're planning to go on holiday alone, don't let me people tell you otherwise, we all need that time to enjoy ourselves with no familiar faces. Don't give into the pressures that you have to get laid, most guys who hang around in big groups of people don't even get laid. Most guys I know get most girls when alone!
Anyway, just thought I'd post that! It has kind of annoyed me, but a lot of people put of doing things they want to do because of society pressure/what other people will think, hate to say it, but YOLO, you do only live once, why wait for others, or hold of because of them!!!

Re: Holiday + PressuresIt's not actually. Other than girls who huddle round like ducks whilst pouting, guys go together and then don't really see each over until the end of the night until your going home. Who goes to a club to hang around with a bunch of guys the whole night? -

Re: Holiday + PressuresYou generally stick with your friends though, maybe not the whole group but when I have been out when I'm actually in a club I'm with at least 1 friend all the time, never on my own. I can imagine it being a bit awkward being on your own.(Original post by TheCurlyHairedDude)

Re: Holiday + PressuresHuh. I thought society was generally more accepting of men doing things on their own. I've been told that its 'quite sad' that I'm going on holiday on my own. (By someone who won't go anywhere without her boyfirend/best friend chaperoning her.
)
I think it's pefectly well-adjusted behaviour to go away for a week and do whatever you like.

Re: Holiday + PressuresAnd what are you exactly doing with this "wingman" he's just getting in your way, I've been to clubs on my own before and it's so much better, you get more girls and you enjoy yourself much more, that's if you're confident though, if you're not you'll look like a loner....(Original post by TheJ0ker)

Re: Holiday + PressuresNothing wrong with going away on your own. You'll meet plenty of people at your hostel/hotel bar etc. I probably wouldn't go clubbing alone though, mainly because you can't have a conversation in a club. What's the point of meeting someone you won't be able to talk to?
