I'm a girl, but I've gone clubbing on my own when people weren't going where I wanted to go - it depends on the place and situation. In my case I went on my own, but it was a big club night where I'm at uni so I was fairly certain I'd know people inside even though I hadn't planned to meet anyone there or anything, so I went alone technically, but wasn't on my own once I'd been to the bar and got a drink and had a look around.

As a girl it would be pathetic to go to a club/bar on your own, but for a guy, I think it's ok. I've seen a lot of guys doing it, and they didn't seem to care what other people think. I guess it's all about the attitude :wink:

bit sexist innit

Here's my thoughts: You really could move this thread to the philosophy board, as the deeper question is "What is patheitc?" rather than "Is going out alone pathetic?"

Simply, I feel that if you think its pathetic, then it is; if you can justify to yourself that its "acceptable" then it is too.

Well, I am not British and that's the way things are in my country. Still think I'm right though ...

Im not a Brit either.
I just think it depends on the type of person.

I know lads that go out on their own with the goal of pulling women. They’re usually pretty good at pulling so they don’t spend much time actually on their own though.

If you feel sad, it’s more in your own head then anyone else thinking it. If you went into a fairly busy bar and sat down on your own, I doubt anyone would notice, never mind care, that you were on your own. It also probably is a good way to chat up birds and go wherever they’re going to go next I imagine.

If you think about it I suppose, if you're only out with one mate on a given night and one of you gets chatting to a bird, the other one spends plenty of time on their own (if they dont get chatting to one aswell) anyway.
I've never done it but I think quite a few guys do it! I suppose it's maybe a way to find a few GF if that's what you want, or maybe just somewhere to chill. I don't think it's pathetic, really.....

I like clubbing. Especially seal clubbing...
^^ giggle
but it's not pathetic, as long as you don't scream it out at the top of your lungs.

I'm bored, want to go out after breaking up with my gf, yet everyone goes and cancels. Is going to a club (or bar?) on your own to just listen to some music and chill (not drinking as I'd be driving), really pathetic, or does anyone else ever do it?


nothing pathetic about it. Do what you want.

Why should anyone else be bothered?
Depends on the place. I go to a rock club on my own occasionally, but it's the kind of place where there are plenty of people who like talking to randomers anyway, so I'm not on my own really.
It's not pathetic at all. Perhaps you should just stay in forever until you get an escort , so that people can see you are worthy? Hehe, sod 'em. You go if you want to. There's every chance you'll make friends that way!
i would never go to a club on my own, i would find it a quite lonely expirience me thinks.
tbf i don't normally enter the sweat boxes on my own acord.
