'hi. my name is __, i'm 20 and i've never been clubbing.'

cue screams of 'FREAK! FREAK!'. yes indeed this is true (that i haven't been clubbing, not that i'm a freak... though that's also open to debate). for some reason, i have the biggest issue trying to get my head around WHY people enjoy the whole club culture so much.

i like to drink, but only once in a while. and it's usually at home with my mum, on holiday, or at my best friend's flat.

in fact, i have a bit of an issue with the idea of being intoxicated and unable to control myself/find my way home. is that supposed to be the fun of it? because the thought of not being able to remember what i did the night before would terrify me - i'd much rather be safe at home whilst drinking, where i know i'm got going to get into any trouble.

i'm sorry if it seems i'm coming across as pompous, etc but i just don't understand the thrill of clubbing. coupled with the fact that i am an atrocious dancer, it's my worst nightmare. anyone care to enlighten me?

I used to be the same as you, until I actually went clubbing, and to my enormous surprise found myself actually loving it.

Now I love going to huge clubs more than my friends. I mean big places like Cream or Godskitchen.

I suggest trying it before condemning it, at least then you'd know you didn't like it.

i don't go clubbing.

maybe you would enjoy going to a bar with friends though? that doesn't involve dancing.

clubbing sucks. go down to the pub and have a nice conversation in a relaxing atmosphere, rather than being in a ridicualsly loud room full of idiots trying to chat you up/look down your top.

Not everyone goes clubbing so i doubt anyone is thinking 'freak' =/

Right, erm, for one, you dont have to get completely hammered and black out every time you go clubbing, so you can retain some self-control, you know?

The club culture tends to be about either having a laugh with your friends or pulling, pretty simply. Oh, and most people tend to be atrocious dancers, myself included, i just drink to the point where i dont recognise the strange looks. :smile:

Have to agree with you there, clubbing is a waste of time and money with no hope of a decent conversation.

Clubbing must be one of those things you either love or don't. I personally think the internet isn't the best place to find people representative of what young people in general like. It seems most people here don't like clubbing, yet pretty near all my friends like clubbing, as do most of the people from my year at school.

trust me, you ALWAYS find your way home, I've been on nights out before and the day after I've still been drunk/couldn't remember a thing but I always got home, couldn't remember getting home but I always do somehow even when I'm at uni in Liverpool and I really don't know the city centre that well as I always go with other people so they lead the way, still get home.

clubbing is ok for the 1st half an hour, you just laugh at the stupid people but any longer than that and it gets boring

I don't dance at all and if it was up to me, I wouldn't go clubs on a night out but thats what most people enjoy so I just tag along, even though I don't dance, I still like listening to the music (if it's like an indie club although I don't mind most dance/pop music) and it's ideal if your single and looking, not that I ever pull anyway but I have more chance in a club rather than in a pub full of mostly middle aged men

I'm trying to convince myself that it's a waste of time and pointless.

You could say the same of any recreational activity whose sole purpose is to entertain and amuse.

You know whats really freaky? people who think those who dont go clubing are freaks.

I only go once in a while, not even once a month, i dont really enjoy it or hate it, just like to get hammered as f*** sometimes.
