definitely not

The pub is all about good company, and drinks.

Clubs, depending on your stance of pulling etc, are abhorrent.

Not at all! Just because a lot of young people are known for clubbing and enjoying it, does not make you weird for not liking it. Everybody likes and are interested in different things.

I don't like clubbing either :smile:

Sounds like you gorra top mom in fairness. I know clubbing gets a bit of stick on ere, but its still the best way to meet birds imo rather than that online dating crap, when you'd be lucky if a guddle even casts yer a second glance ffs.

Clubbing is over-rated. Much prefer the pub. No you aren't weird, many people like you out there.

Yes - nobody else on the planet dislikes clubbing.

Yes, you'll be seen as weird. Clubbing is the done thing for people that age, therefore anyone that doesn't do it must be a bit odd.

I used to like it, but I've not enjoyed it the last few times that I've gone, in fact it's probably been a year since I had a good experience. Perhaps I'm growing out of it but the biggest problem for me is probably the music, there's nothing I despise more than modern club music. Dance music was better in the 80s and 90s, that's the truth.

What? Why does that make someone odd?

Not only the music.... :biggrin:

I hate clubbing, much rather go to the local with some friends.

Because they don't do what normal people do.

I can't stand clubbing! TO be honest I don't think a lot of people like clubbing, but those who do are VERY loud which is probably why you hear more about it. Or maybe I'm just wishful thinking and more people in out age group do like clubbing! In any case, you're not weird for not liking clubbing, it's practically impossible to be social there with all the loud music and stumbling sloshed students. Plus it's not the best place for pulling anyone half decent :P

3 times clubbing is good:

a) if its a specialist night that is playing your favourite style of music so you can dance and sing along

b) if you're going out with a big group of friends to celebrate something and you're all in a good mood

c) if you're going with a girl/are meeting a girl there that you want to pull

Any other time, its a bit rubbish. pubs and bars are much better.

I think you're probably in the majority actually. Most people hate clubbing, but they do it because it's what's expected of them, because that's what they think their friends like, because 'students get drunk and go clubbing', because it's what they think they have to do to 'fit in'.

So many people 'fit in' that it becomes a normal thing. Quite funny how that works really. You're normal in mind if you don't like it, but abnormal by action if you don't go anyway.

Clubbing is boring and for people who have **** lives to be fair. Standing around or 'dancing' (waving your hands and hips around like you are some sort of retarded giraffe) to what is generally quite **** music (mostly) is the trait for the socially inept.

If you have nothing better to do on a Friday/ Saturday night than stand around with a bunch of strangers listening to music and binge drinking an overpriced mix of yeast, hops and water, I pity you.

The majority of people who attend these institutions are slags (of both sexes), wannabe TOWIE's, socially inept students and nerds "on the pull". Oh and you always get the odd kid who thinks he is gods gift to dancing because he took a few dancing lessons a year ago and his/ her favourite movie is Street Dance.

The only best and fulfilling time I have been clubbing was probably for all the wrong reasons.

A bit of a stretch. Most people I know love clubbing. Anyone I hear about how doesn't enjoy it (eg on TSR), it seems like its because they don't understand how to do it properly.
