Hi :) Just like the subject says. I'm heading down there for a visit, and may take in some of the night life while I'm there. If you people would be so kind as to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Looking for places to meet people, not looking for rub and tug joints, lol. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mike....I lived in Clarenville for over two years, give up on that place my son! I've found Sin Johns' a much friendly place,and so much easier to meet people in this town as well. Guys just strike up conversations everywhere, in the supermarkets, at Tims, on the bus, no matter where you are. Clarenville I found to be a cold snotty town, with an attitude. Sorry to anyone from there that reads this, but it's true. Too much minding everyone elses' business, and not enough minding their own, small town mentality, I guess.

Clarenville is not a great place to meet people, I believe as one person already put it, it is a snotty place. St. John's is much better.

Well, thank you Still of the Night, for verifying my view. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who found C'ville to be a difficult place to date people. The dating pool there is, shall we say, "extremely shallow." As a matter of fact, I strongly feel if I had been living here (or almost anywhere else) I would not have put a profile on PoF, let alone even HEARD of this site. As it stands now, I've made some excellent friends through here, and mainly stick around for the forums. Plus, with my life (work, home, work, home, yadda yadda), I rarely get out to meet people. That will change when/if spring gets here, I'm sure of it.

I used to go out every Friday night (in C'ville) with some friends, just to dance and celebrate being single, and because I wouldn't allow myself to be picked up, or pick up, I was asked if I was gay, what was wrong with me, and so on. After a couple of months, I got the nickname Ice Princess, all because I wasn't a skank. And the runours! A single woman, working and living there is a rare creature if she's not sleeping around. I heard it all about myself, and to tell the truth, it was pretty funny. I had just come out of a 20+year marriage, and wasn't ready to start dating, and when I was, I had come to realize what the people there were like, so as soon as I could, it was pack up the ole kit bag and shift to town. I'm amazed at the difference in Sin Johns', all you have to do is say "No thank you" to a man, and he's okay with that, no immediate vicious reaction. The women all consider other women to be competition, as well, and I fail to understand why. There's nothing there to compete for, seriously!

As to Mike, if you are interested in a club that the people are decent and the music generally pretty good, check out the Bayview in Lethbridge on a Saturday night. WAYYYYYY better!

I havent been to the Bayview in years. I do remember it has a much better atmosphere than most bars in Clarenville.

What I have noticed about Clarenville is that everyone wants to play around. No such thing as just dating a person or staying with one person, its always games and flings.

I wont even mention the increasing drug problems (hard drugs) in Clarenville. May sound strange coming from me as I dont mind having a "puff" however a lot of people in the area is getting hooked on hard stuff and truth be told, it spooks me a little.

Nothing more gross than seeing some person, nothing but skin and bones, and their arms buried in marks from shooting needles! That to me, is what Clarenville is becoming and its disgusting!

Hey Still of the Night, do you remember the Dunrovin? Or am I dating myself too much?

I agree with you on the drug scene in C'ville, it's getting scary out there. I have a family member living there, and he's told me some pretty hairy stories. I wonder why things are going the way they are there? There were a lot of attitudes I didn't understand in that town.

lol yes I remember the Dunrovin.

Its too bad what is happening. Unfortunately, hard drugs will basically paralyze any common sense/good judgment a person has and will leave a already weak mind totally paralyzed, limp and nonfunctional. Its a very destructive process that can only end in one bad way or another even worst.

lol there was a lot of things I didn't understand.

Hi noisy introvert.
I have been living single in Clarenville for 11 yrs. and guess what I'm still single. You are so right about this place. I've totally given up on the bars. Haven't been out anywhere since last summer...yikes. People here are snotty as hell and if you don't fit into a group of some sort and you are on the outside looking for sure. Why am I still here? I have a great job and that's about it!!
