| Why Dont men like going out socialising?
Posted: 7/2/2009 8:25:06 PM | I don't understand why men like chatting on here but dont like socialising much. I often organise get togethers and can never get enough men. We usually end up with girls night out. Are men shy or intimidated lazy or what is your problem guys?

I often organise get togethers and can never get enough men. That would be because the social outings are probably the same as the ones that you've tried to organise on here...and they are just plugs for your business. | |

Posted: 7/3/2009 2:14:21 AM | | Men don't go out socialising because they are afraid they might have to get up and dance. Well, that's why I avoid going out... the fear of white men dancing. *shudders* | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 1:43:18 AM | Maybe because they are mostly married or have fake profiles and don't wanna get found out ?!
I certainly socialise. I do not conform. But yes, tonight the footy is on and unless I get a better offer...... | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 2:06:00 AM | Depends on what's on offer. I don't need to go to everything I'm invited to, if I've had a big week at work I may not have the proper energy level to have fun all night and will be more of a drag to everyone and myself.
But hey if I got the time and energy I'm out of the house, without fail! | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 5:25:41 AM | I have to agree, if i have had a busy week or a lot to do on my weekend i can't fit it in. Then the other side is: ok, i go, then find out i have absolutely nothing in common with anyone there and I'm sitting their thinking "ooh boy, what have i done????" When you go out with a bunch of friends you at least know you have things in common to talk about with no awkward silence.
Yes i know, you can't make more friends if you don't meet new people in the first place. I know I'm pretty easy going, and would *manage*. I remember seeing an event setup for wine tasting a week or 2 back. I'm not a big drinker so something like that doesn't appeal to me, i'd end up being the driver for the evening getting all the trashed people home (done that before now....).
Hey that's my view, others may see it all different but that's their choice, as it is mine. If i knew people would be there my own age, sure! why not, you can't have too many friends.
I'm sorry if i seem rude, but say the people there were in their 40's to 50's, i would have absolutely nothing in common with them.
Let the flaming begin! *hides* | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 5:34:42 AM | | i think the reason i dont like going to these things is most of them involve drinking.....and i dont.....so that doesnt work for me, and being sober and around bunch of drunk people can actually get annoying lol | |

Posted: 7/4/2009 9:43:07 PM | I dont drink either, but I do go to parties with the view that you are put on this earth for a reason, so meeting new people is part of life. Sometimes when you meet people and have aconversation about anything at all, then you pass into the night, and it doesnt become clear until later even years, why you met them, but be talking about something that is important with them, you might just pass along the reason why you had to meet.
I met a guy a few months ago, was having problems at one of his work places, with communication.. where they had to climb a different tree every day to try to communicate with the outside world..... I suggested he talk to some of the amateur radio clubs, whilst he was in Australia, *ham radios* were used during the world wars to communicate, they are more sophisticated now, CBs etc... If he didnt take my advice
that`s ok. It was just a suggestion.
The reason iinet started was by a guy working in his back shed . with some mates at North beach.....communicatating
Maybe guys just prefer to communicate with us by this method, they chat on their webcams, it doesnt make them more loveable but they dont have to put much effort in.. but then when they are older, they are the ones missing the soft touch of a woman,
or the fun, of grandkids, and how they can be appreciated more for their attitude to life, rather tahn the effort of pulling out their wallets..
 just my opinion dont shoot me..  | |

No I have never put a plug on here never even mentioned a business so where did you get that info from.
I got the information from a thread you started about a month ago, you were trying to organise an outing and had put the contact details for your business, (which was something to do with social networking) on the post, the thread was deleted for contact broadcasting of course.
I've also noticed that you had started another event thread at the same time as you started this thread, so the obvious conclusion was that you were once again drumming up business for your 'social networking' company...Just being a little more covert this time.
Up until yesterday you also had your companies details on your profile.
Advertising on this site is something that would be best done through the owner of the site, and paid for. | |

I go out socialising all the time. Just not with people from here. I'm not really into these 'group' outings that are often in noisy pubs with such a mixed age range that I'm not going to meet many my age. I have often pointed out to friends that do you really expect to meet the person you want to be with in a pub? I know I don't. I prefer one on one and somewhere we can talk. | |

Posted: 7/5/2009 3:36:13 PM | | er, cough , it's not just men , I don't like all the fake of 'socialising' ... it's a bit too desperate for me . I slowly find good friends and 'socialise' at home or at the friends' homes and meet their families and friends . I used to love rocknrolling but leave it to the younger ones now . It's still lurking in my heart tho' ! And I don't pounce on a man nor do I let men pounce on me . If it happens , YEEHAH . | |

Posted: 7/5/2009 4:07:50 PM | What do you mean fake socialising ? I don't think it is desperate at all .
I have been to a lot of social events on here and elsewhere and made some great friends..
You may not meet the partner of your dreams but you may have a great time and broaden your group of friends .
I think a lot of people are nervous to meet new people .
I don't think I would want to be in a relationship with someone who didn't like being social . | |

Posted: 7/5/2009 11:03:23 PM | Socialising? Tried it once, went to PWP. It was like jumping into a pool of starving sharks. I was the only male and seemed to become the object of every agro greivance concerning their ex partners, or, because of my background, which I was silly enough to mention, found myself being a cousellor and advisor on family law.
I do get the feeling that organised "Social gatherings" from a dating site may seem similar to a cattle show, checking for potential? | |

Posted: 7/6/2009 10:50:15 PM | | I am certainly not in this category, although I would prefer to go on social outings which have people in their late 20's and early 30's., but can travel down to Melbourne. | |
