Did anyone else always hate clubbing?

I've been once. It was pretty fun and I did enjoy most of it. A little awkward at first when there were not many people there as I got there early, but after that all the 'dancing' (jumping up and down) was fun when more people came.

I left relatively early though as the friend I was getting a lift back with HATED it. It got more 'sexual' from that point on wards apparently, so I'm glad I left when I did.

Never going to one again though (thanks tinnitus!)
I like clubbing for like 10 minutes and then I have to drink a ton to get through the rest of the evening. I much prefer going to bars

I always loved going clubbing with my friends. Get drunk and just enjoy the music and dancing badly with your mates. What's not to like?


Not great if you want an intimate relationship with someone attractive and special to you-and are seeking it there, in youthful naivety.
lol at dancing in clubs, and making mountains with your mash potateos is sculpture.
Used to like it a lot more than I like the idea of it now. I haven't been clubbing in absolutely ages so my opinion now is based on recollections and predictions on how I'd deal with it in my current state of life. I graduated 3 years ago and haven't set foot in uni since.

I like drinking and socialising to the point of drunkenness still, but I also like a fairly short journey home and not having to deal with a horrid hangover. Bars and pubs are a much better option for me.

Also - I like partner dancing and am currently experiencing a 'new hobby honeymoon' of sorts with it. In a club I'd end up drunk enough to do the Charleston to Klingande or something and be frustrated because beat of the music makes it hard. Also I'd get that kind of ironic drunken cheering which on the surface looks respectable but does little to cloud the 'look at this berk showing off'.
I liked clubbing for a bit then got sick of it then really liked it for a while & am now sick of it again. Maybe my mind will change again in future.

Luv it, especially when you find one that plays music you like. Will be doing plenty of clubbing when I get to uni

I like the saucy ladies and the music sometimes but that's about it. The air reeks of desperate men most of the time.


Saucy Ladies? Did I just wake up in 1920?
Used to love it when I was new to it, way past it now though. If I'm going out of an evening, I prefer to go out with a small group and do something silly like go bowling, or just go out for eats or to the cinema or something.

Student clubs suck. People usually go there primarily to get with other people. To be honest, I don't blame them, the music is so bad and repetitive that there is no alternative. I like to go to clubs for the music and to have a good time with friends. It can be fun at times purely for that reason, but only in moderation.
Depends on level of alcohol intake.

0 = How does anybody find this fun...?

Lots = WOOOOOO!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!

I've never been and I have no desire to. It looks stupid to me and I know I would be extremely uncomfortable if I had to do it.
It should be banned. It is totally barbaric the way they bash those little baby seals over the head until they are dead.
I think the only times I've really enjoyed myself clubbing were when they were playing music I liked. That's when it's the most fun. Otherwise I think I'd rather save my money for gigs, where I can actually be sure that I'll like the music, and I may be able to meet people there rather than relying on friends being available to go out with.

Can we please distinguish clubbing as in going to nights specifically for dance music from "going down your town centre on a night out, to a run of the mill club and hearing chart music and getting wasted"?.

I hate the latter, but I'm in my own entity raving to underground dance music.
Who says you have to be cool to have a laugh with your friends?
I don't know any house music but I still like clubs that play it
& most of my friends never take drugs and the few that do don't affect my night at all
This post doesn't really make sense

It's filled with rapey guys and slutty girls, not my cup of tea. No sense of loyalty in those hell holes.
It's alright and it's great if you get laid but other than that going ever week or going often is stupid and a waste of money.

I've made a thread about this

I didn't really start going out till I was 19. I do enjoy myself quite a bit. I'm not much of a drinker it doesn't really do much for me though I will drink anyway. I mainly just like dancing crazily for the fun, I could understand why most people need a lot of alcohol in them to let go and do the same. I'm just not very self concious in the first place. They aren't the best places for meeting people or talking but as long as you've got friends or other nice people to dance with that doesn't really matter.
