Posted: 6/1/2008 9:04:09 AM | Well Djchickie, you know I repect your opinions from other posts you have made, and it was not my intention to "knock" those who do go that are in that age range.
I was just pointing out my observations....35+ trying to keep up with the 20 somethings. This has been my experience....watching a guy of 45 trying to shake his booty with a 22 yr old looks foolish in my eyes. As does a 45 year old woman who tries to dance dirty with a 25 yr old man.
Besides, you don't look your age...hehe...so you have a plus over those other middle agers like me | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:20:49 AM | I think I can remember the "bar scene".  Back then it didn't cost more in gas to get there than it did for the drinks. I am assuming you are talking about the places now a-days with the loud music, watered down drinks, and too many sweaty people to move, except to cop a feel?
god that does sound like fun doesn't it?? | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:22:07 AM | | Between the age of 18-22 that's all my friends and I wanted to do but I was bored out of my mind with the entire scene by 23. If you like getting wasted and don't mind coming home reaking of booze, cigarettes and sweat, clubbing is the thing to do. But as far as adults go I don't understand the draw at all. How do you meet and talk to someone whos' drunk and can hardly hear you over the racket? Most of us do look pretty foolish trying to fit in with the kids half our ages. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:34:41 AM | Did the club thing in my twenties and even then would have preferred a quiet evening at home with a decent guy to the drunk ridiculous manipulations of the horny.
Have been to a club twice since I split with my X, the first time really was plenty. I wonder if I even really like to dance that much and whether my problem with the clubs now is I am too sober to act as retarded as the rest of the people there. I don't get the appeal of women grinding on each other to the point that I would like to pay for their room so I don't have to watch them but men have told me that this is a turnon and women do it for the free drinks. Well alrighty then.
As for meeting someone? I can't imagine having much in common with someone that actually likes going to a club beyond having a place to dance. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:36:14 AM | I never got into the club scene. I did go a few times by being dragged there by girlfriends and then stood bored watching as my gf's got drunk and picked up men. I'm not really sure why I didn't like them, I love to dance and can wear out a hole in my carpet at home but always felt out of place at a club.
I surfed in my younger years and that was my weekends, surfing and sitting by a bombfire on the beach at night with a bunch of friends was my thing.
Im much older now and dont surf anymore but I still love sitting round a fire at night with friends to chew the fat, only now its on comfy cushioned outdoor chairs and an outdoor wood fire place on decking :-).
Was there a question? | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:43:05 AM | | YUP! Gimme the "lame life" anytime! I spent my "Saturday night" shampooing carpets! LOL! I'd intended to go camping over the weekend, but the weatherman lied and said it was going to rain...oh well....next weekend! My next guy may not be much of a dancer....but he WILL know how to appreciate a perfectly toasted marshmallow! LOL! | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 9:55:53 AM | Being at home is not so bad.... Count me in as a "Lame-y Geek" because I prefer it over bars(perhaps the age has something to do with it).
Poster, maybe it just means you are ready for what's to come into your life. Our destinies unfold without giving us the scoop first.  | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 10:04:08 AM | Being home is fine...being at clubs is fine...it's all relative to your mood & inclinations.
I don't frequent clubs, but I do enjoy them on occasion. They serve a purpose.
If you are comfortable with you, that's the important thing.

Posted: 6/1/2008 10:10:58 AM | I was a club hopper my first year of college. I don't think I slept more than three hours a night for that entire year. After that, it just got lame. Each club had the same things to offer, same experiences...it just got boring.
I'm perfectly happy going every once in a while now, but it's not something I would choose to do every weekend. There's just so much more out there in the world, and I'd rather experience a variety. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 10:21:00 AM | | I used to go out to clubs a lot in my 20's and even into my 30's. However, I rarely ever drank there--I happen to love to dance, especially if there is live music. Meeting guys was not the priority, though it happened sometimes. I sometimes went alone and just had fun dancing with myself or whoever was there. When I was 41, I was the lead singer in a rock band, so I was back in the smokey clubs performing. The late nights and cigarette smoke literally made me sick! I'm much more of a homebody these days, preferring to dance in my living room. If I found a really cool local bar that played music I like (which is hard to find), I would probably go and dance from time to time. Most of the clubs here are for a younger crowd and play loud techno music that I don't care to dance to. The clubs for people my age also play outdated music. None of it really appeals to me. | |

Posted: 6/1/2008 10:28:23 AM | | I was never one for going out clubbing. I do still have "girls night out" once every couple of months with my friends, but there's no giving out phone numbers to guys in a bar. We just go to have fun and none of us, on these "girls night outs" have ever gotten or given out our numbers to anyone. We just go to have fun, not to pick up men. | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 11:27:51 PM | To be honest, I agree with your post entirely, yet some parts are different for me.
I'm younger, and I haven't been partying that much , but I do love to go dancing. But it does tire me, and one night of partying, feels enough to last me a good few months. I prefer to only go out if it's a special occasion. I would love more places to be available to be able to dance to some good music. If there were other places that I could go out with ym girls and dance, rather than a private house party or concert, I definitley don't think I would go clubbing. I think going clubbing is sometimes too much work.
Though I don't take long to get ready, I still do have to get ready. I have to wear heels, that I otherwise wouldn't wear. I have to pay money on things like cover charge, coat check. It's a sweaty atmosphere, people are bein drunk and inappropriate all around, and sometimes it becomes more of a job to dance and make sure no one is trying to grab you; than just dance and be free. Not to mention trying to find the balance where you are buzzed but def not drunk. So yeah, I think going out clubbing definitley can be a chore at times, and I do find it tiring out.
I don't think it's being lame at all. Why would it be?! This is going to sound like a cheesy thing to say, but cool is what you make of it. I've always thought that. Those that I thought were cool, were the people who did what they wanted regardless of what other's thought. they had confidence. So what you decide to do , because you want to do, is far from being lame.
I prefer to be in pyjamas on a friday night, watching reruns and being online. | |
