Did anyone else always hate clubbing?

I've never liked clubbing, it's boring and expensive and you can't speak to anyone. Luckily, my group of friends feels the same and we prefer to go to pubs or to restaurants, that's so much more enjoyable.
Good club nights exist that aren't the shallow, vacuous waste of time that most clubbing is. Unfortunately, the people I knew at Uni and know at home have no interest in going to these places.

^When I shared this on Facebook I did get one person 'like' it so hopefully I have a companion :wink:
Love it if you're in the right club.
I've never really liked clubbing but only because I don't like dancing and my friends do. I prefer bars that play music
I like it more mid-week than the weekend. Most places are too busy on the weekend so it is just being knocked into/cramped and taking ages to get a drink.
Used to like clubbing when I was younger. Now it's completely not my cup of tea, prefer house party or going to a pub at any time.
I enjoy clubbing when I'm really drunk and know a lot of people there, but I hate drinking loads and dancing so I'd rather do something else most of the time.
For me (and most guys, I think), clubbing is only remotely enjoyable while you're hammered, which ranks it just below throwing wet paper towels at a wall, spinning around until you fall over or pissing outside in the enjoyability stakes.

I reserve the clubbing "scene" for the hedonists. Occasionally I'll accept an invitation to go with friends but it's a bizarre place to go with people you know. I'd rather somewhere I can talk. An atmospheric pub with a pool table, for instance.
If I was single Id probs go, but as Im not there just isnt much point.

I'm really hit or miss with clubbing. I was a big drinker before university and enjoyed a good piss up down the pub! Since coming to uni it kind of feels like I only enjoy a club if I'm pretty smashed or there's decent music on, whereas I can enjoy the pub sober or wasted.

I like to have fun but I hate it so much, and I had a really terrible first night out so I don't know how I can cope with the night life of Freshers week :frown:

People, broadly speaking, like drinks, socialising and dancing. That's what nightclubs offer, so its rather unsurprising they do good business.

Like as in, not just cheesy ones, but ones for cool scenes of music, in fact they are worse. I'm just intrigued by this whole issue because it's an adolescent thing where your group wants you to do it, but then it seems to translate to cool a bit older if it's a scene, but I was always put off by how cool you have to be, knowing music, people taking drugs which could be any old ****, how affected it all is that you have to be in the know about drugs etc and all so young, and how I just couldn't really get the joy from it that anyone does.

Anyhow, I'm just interested generally how many people are like me, is it th minority or majority, and am I just really boring?

I just don't see whats so cool or even fun about it.



No, I've always enjoyed clubbing, and so has everyone else I know.

I started going at about 16-17 and by 19 I really knew what I was doing and absolutely loved it and went 2-3 times a week.

I think you must be doing it wrong. Its socialising with mates, good beer, good music and then hot sex. How can anyone not like clubbing?
Meh not really that fussed. Only been twice and I've been 18 for like 6 months. Its not that I hate it I'd just rather do other stuff with my evenings. Much prefer an evening in the pub or hanging out at a mates house with some cheap booze.
I like clubbing when it's music I'm into, because I like music and I like dancing and the whole environment.

I don't like cheesy/chain clubs that play generic trash, where people basically go just to try to get laid (aka the clubs that 99% of the people on TSR seem to go to)
When I came to uni I used to love it, but now I'm starting to hate it little by little. Despite this I still go to it :tongue:.

yes, clubbing is one of my favourite things to do, as long as the music is house/EDM
I hate clubbing - I didn't like it when I was 18 and I hate it even more at 23.

I'd much rather a nice pub or cocktail bar :smile:

If you go in with the conception that ur nights about pulling birds then you're doing it wrong and its probably a ****e club.go somewhere with dirty house/techno and get asolutely mangled and nobody is bothered about pulling and there it never kicks off.just throw some shapes and dance to the music
