Clubbing is dumb, but I'm an introvert who likes to be able to see and hear. In a club you can't see anything, you can't hear anything, and you certainly don't look that cool hopping in place on a packed dance floor trying not to spill your drink.

I'm surprised at you. A bit snobby there. That's just like saying 'See those introverted bookworms over there, they have their nose in a book, but all they are trying to do is look smart, they are not enjoying that book at all, hell, they probably arn't even reading it.'

As for your criticism of club culture...

You can see just fine in a club, the lighting is usually quite cool. You can hear music, that's why you are there, dance to the music, pick up a girl or a guy, whatever your pref is.
And dancing is not about looking cool, sure, if you get enough room, do a Saturday Night Fever if you can manage it, but dancing is about not giving a hell what people think of you, and just cutting loose and enjoying the music. As for your drink? You either leave it at a table with friends,. or you drink it before you hit the dance floor, you would have to be pretty daft to take a drink onto a dancefloor.
And you can actually have conversations in clubs, there are usually couches or tables set back from the music and dance floor, or when you are stading around or sitting, you just raise your voice a little so your friends can hear you.
Tbh, it just sounds like you are scared of clubs, ie scared of people.

I find clubbing to be unnecessary.
It's not a safe environment for young ladies.
All you do is get drunk, and do things you don't remember while your "fiends" post the embarrassing videos online.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

I agree.

'I agree', jezzus cherist. lol, you know what, I bet Anita agress with me that she doesn't know much about clubbing(which is evident from her post), and was half joking back there, or, is glad to be corrected of her ignorance.

I wasn't trying to be a smart ass, it's just that Anita is on her way to sainthood, and I am tidying up any little glitches she may have on the way. She is one of those people you are just blown away with because they are flawless. You can find it v hard to find a fault you can joke about with such a person, if you head wants to do that. i mean, i am watching smallville right now, Lois Lane is on tv, beautiful face and body, flawless, what the hell could your head say to her to subvert that? Can it say she's ugly, no, what it could say is that 'shes looks a bit like a guy', why? Cause she has two eyes, a nose and a mouth....just like a guy, lol. But, y'know, something like that could hurt any girl's feelings, even if it was outrageously untrue to the nth degree, and your head made a split second joke, this is why mind reading is not natural and should be confined to the fiction.

I don't (and never have) done drugs, smoke, drink, or go out partying.

Would you condsider me one of those "flawless" people?

You do not have to use booze, drugs, smoke, etc etc to go to a club and enjoy yourself, yeah, it can be good to help yourself along with loosening up, but it's not necesarry.

Tbh, you guys sound like you have a fear of the unknown, this is what I was talking about in regards to inverted snobbery. Clubs are popular, so it's ok to be snobby about them, bs mr han man.

and I have always had a lot of respect for Anita because she usually always has a very healthy balanced view of things in life, and this statement seems quite anamolous, so I wanted to let her know she was wrong about that. But, thinking on it, she was probably just joking about there.

Indeed nightclubs do scare me. Me and my sister are victims of sexual abuse. Hers was at a night club, mine wasn't. I don't want to out myself in a situation where it can happen again.

For my safety I do not go clubbing.

I am really sorry to hear that.


edit: I said i had nothing more to say on this subject of clubbing, but there was one more thing...you talked as if drinking, smoking and taking drugs are 'flaws'.
No, it is not inherantly flawed behaviour to take such things(apart from maybe smoking actually, it has no benefits whatsoever), that is only if you use them as a crutch , to self medicate away pain etc.
If you use them in moderation , they can be a very powerful way of opening yourself up to other people, help you get past shyness etc, and you can take something away from that experience to use when you are sober.
Alcohol is a drug just like any other, except alcohol is far more damaging on the body than other illegal drugs. I would prefer it if something like marajuanan was legalised, and use it in moderation, rather than drink so much i ever got a hangover ever agian(ie do damage to my body).

 

[AndThePickles]

Clubbing/bar hopping is so much fun! Just don't go by yourself and watch which ones you go to. I've never felt unsafe. I love to dance. I don't always drink when I go out, but if I do I know my limit.

I am sorry to hear that your family has had such terrible experiences, Legend

 

[B.A. Baracus]

I used to go clubbing when i was in my early 20's, i never really enjoyed it, I enjoy dancing but never really enjoyed the whole club scene, i just got bored after an hour or so. I'd always be in the club wishing i were in a cinema watching a film instead.

My friends all enjoyed clubbing so that's the only reason i went back, these days though i much prefer the cinema, a nice bar or a comedy club.

I've gone to about 5 dance clubs, thinking that the next one is going to be better. Nope, still dark, still noisy, still crowded. Even if it's a fancy one in Vegas.

I'm not flawless, I'm just introverted (there's a distinction ) and don't see a point in being somewhere dark, noisy, and crowded. Especially "for fun." (My bf's even more introverted than me and he'd rather have teeth pulled than go to a club.) But of course YMMV, it's just my personality.

Yeah, that is fine, and i respect you ropinion, but my main point is that you were talking like the people who do enjoy clubbing were stupid. Saying the just hop on one spot and spill their drinks on the dancefloor...I have been clubbing countless times(not for many years though), and i can't recall ever seeing anyone take a drink onto the dancefloor with them, everyone leaves them on the tables with friends, or on booths within eyesight at the edge of the floor(which is not done these days i guess for safety reasons).
And, y'know, it is not so bad dancing in just the one spot, hardly anyone ever 'pogos' around as you describe it, hopping in one spot, you stay in your own space dancing win synch with folk around you, and get into your own personal groove.
I see that your own personality does not fit such a bustling environment, but the way you described the way people act at clubs sounded like you thought they were stupid, and folk don't act like that at clubs, they know how to enjoy themselves. That's why i said it was an inverted snobbery, it's fine to say it's not for you, and you don't like that there is not much light, and the music is so loud. But some people prefer that, you can't play your music that loud at home, so it is a luxury.

My sister was a wild party girl and purposely put herself in dangerous situations.

I was sexually abused at a very young age, thankfully I don't remember it.

Alcohol damages your ability to be aware of your surroundings and makes it easier for men to take advantage of you. I don't want to go to a bar, get drunk and have that door opened.

Fair enough, although I do do "dumb" things from time to time and I don't consider myself stupid. We all need our guilty pleasures. I don't look down on people who club from time to time. Spending all of your free time clubbing though....

Nah, just kidding. Some people are just into that stuff and as long as they don't drive home drunk, it's all good.

Yeah, everything in moderation, and I also hate drunk drivers.

You may find that you would enjoy certain bars. It's all about knowing before you even arrive that you shouldn't have more than one or two drinks, and sticking with your limit.

I would hope one wouldn't put themselves in a situation that they couldn't handle and a girl would either be with a group of friends or a boyfriend if she wants to drink and club.

 

[SuperFerret]

Clubbing is pretty much the antithesis of my idea of fun. I don't drink or dance, I hate strangers and can't stand most types of popular club music, and every time I've been to bars and clubs (which is rare), I've felt on edge and defensive.

 

[JP]

I like to drink and dance. And I love popular music.


I just hate people.
