Do you like clubbing?

I'm just wondering how many of you are into clubbing. I'm starting uni in October but I dislike clubbing, I prefer to have fun in other ways. I find clubbing quite lame. But I hear majority of people at uni go clubbing a lot

You might as well ask "do you like sex", because that is what clubbing is for.

I'm assuming you're at uni?

Is it true majority of people go clubbing and you won't have much of a social life if you don't

No. I've personally never seen the appeal with clubbing. I like going to the pub though.

In general I prefer pubs, and rock pubs. Somewhere where I can sit and have a conversation, drink the type of alcohol I like, chat to strangers and listen to decent music/live music.

I dislike clubbing. When I was younger I thought it was great; cheap drinks and pretty ladies what's not to like? However as I got older I realised it wasn't all it was cracked out to be. The places were always crowded, the music was too loud to talk and they hardly ever played the type of music I liked. It got to the point where I would get drinks from the bar and spend all evening in the smoking area talking to people. However if I am in the mood I do enjoy having a 'boogie', busting out some moves with my mates to some cheesy tunes :lol:

I use to go out every weekend spending £50 on a night out. I regret it now realising I could have saved up that money and gone down to Manchester once a month and gone to a gig instead. Ah well, you live and learn.

yeah, but then when you take the girl home it makes it all worthwhile, surely?

It depends on whether the music is good, who I'm with, and how much I've drunk. The experience can go either way.

Not really for me, it's too loud, too busy and too hot. I'm short (so perfect elbow height for those jumping up and down), my eye-sight's not great in dim/dark light (so I often can't completely see where I'm going) and I have flat feet (so dancing can be quite painful). I prefer the pub where I can talk to people properly, where there are comfy chairs and where you can feel relaxed.

I didn't go at all during 4 years at University. The closest I came was a party during my year abroad which was in the clubbing area of town but just in a booked out venue with a bar run by the Erasmus society.

I was pretty lucky to live with people who weren't keen on clubbing. Some of them went out one night in Freshers and I spent that night chilling with one or two other people in our flat - the other nights we played drinking games or watched films in our flat all together and it was great fun! One of my housemates in second year did enjoy clubbing and wanted us all to go for her birthday, but I didn't. I can't remember if I went home early with a couple of people or wasn't there on the day at all, but I basically told them I would never pay to get into a club when I would hate it and probably annoy them by standing around doing nothing looking like a slapped arse.

If you don't like clubbing and don't go in Freshers, you're only missing out on what would be a largely unenjoyable experience for you. Prowl your halls looking for other people staying in, attend pre-drinks with those in your flat who are going out, suggest alternatives on the fourth or fifth night when everyone's exhausted of clubbing every night (have a deck of cards that haven't had alcohol already spilled on them handy!!) and you'll be fine. You might have the odd person who thinks you're a dick for not getting involved and that you should throw yourself into everything, but ignore them. If you don't want to do it, don't do it, and don't feel bad about it, because you would just be doing it for other people, and you'd be even more miserable than if you didn't do it at all. Better to be the "sad" person who stays behind when everyone else goes out clubbing than being the one who cancels everyone else's night getting really distressed once you're there and wanting to go home early and being unable to even order your own taxi (like one of those behind the scenes TV shows with a girl who tried to integrate with the social scene and really wasn't enjoying it and ended up beind escorted home by people who were obviously annoyed about it).

Meh, I'm not the biggest fan of casual sex in all honesty. In any case I always found it easier meeting people in other places like at dorm parties or through friends and hooking up that way.

Neutral/dislike. A crowded, hot and loud place where people mindlessly jump up and down in a manner meant to resemble dancing. Don't really see the appeal if I'm honest.
