Would you go clubbing alone?

wiger toods

i dont think id ever find myself going out to a club by myself, wouldnt one not look a bit of a nob standing in the corner by one's self?;) anyway the only club close to me is in ennis, and even going out in ennis at night, you can run the risk of getting stabbed or beaten to a pulp by some drunken, ignorant, nike hoody wearing nacker and this is just from standing in the queue outside supermacs!:D

Yeah they are a lot better, but mot people my age(19) want to go clubbing.... Which ends up(mostly) standing in the smoking area chatting, ffs we could have done that in the pub, not paid in and we would have had seats in the warmth!

Bingo, i gave up on clubs years ago. They're just not worth the hassle.
So no, wouldnt go clubbing alone. I have gone to pubs if there's a gig on and had a few quiet ones by myself. But thats different.

It is a lot different yeah, some of the best nights I have had is when I just randomly decided to go to the pub and watch the footy by myself.

Yeah I just don't get that mindset either Everyone I know prefers the pub but yet constantly goes to clubs (use the word club loosely, they don't really exist in Ireland). I'd love to know the reasons why...I'm at a loss.

Pub for a few quiet ones yeah. Clubs? Nope. Not that there's anything wrong with it or anything, I know people who love it because they reckon they have better chances of scoring alone, it's just not my thing.

I have a theory that people go because they are expected to, and pretend to have a great time.(not saying its not fun sometimes mind)

A bit of a herd mentality kind of idea. It's very hard to break, I've suggested pubs, gigs, house parties and people just won't give them a chance, very annoying :mad:.Funnily enough I've noticed a much higher per cent of girls are always rearing to go towards nightclubs than the lads I know who much prefer pubs and house parties. Maybe it's just the girls I know though.

Once but it wasnt planned. First few weeks of college and I had planned to meet up with two of the lads and I decided to meet them in club as they where coming from a different direction so go up and pay in. Once I done that I look at my phone I have a text from one of the lads saying the other one has gotten sick and they arent up for it any more. Seeing that I had already paid in I didnt want to head home so soon, after an hour of hell of trying to talk to randomers I end up meeting people I kinda knew ended up being a good night in the end.

I have often gone to the pub to watch a match on my own. Also have gone out with just one mate who ends up getting lucky and I am left on my own a fair bit.

Not a pub but when I was in Chicago I went to Sears Tower on my own as the guys I was staying with had already gone. Boy did I feel like a right loner queuing up and the worst thing was getting my photo taken on my own.

I ended up being ditched at a Deadmau5 gig in Boston as my mate had left to hook up with girl. Ended up having a great night, a really great night To top things off my mate paid for my ticket that night. :cool:

The same guy above went off to Boston on his own for his J1. I dont think I could of done that.

Myself and a mate went to the Ireland v Australia in croker couple weeks ago and then went on to temple bar afterwards, was his first time there and my 2nd so I was kinda leading the way abit yet I still didn't know it well myself but anyway later in the night we queued for this niteclub I was in front went in paid and I was waiting inside the doorway for my mate but got that feeling he got turned away although I assumed he will still get in so proceeded to the club and tried texting him asking 'where are ya' with no reply so here I was standing at the bar waiting to get served not being able to move thinking am nto at home either and said '**** that' am gone to look for this egit lol, so where was he only standing outside in a world of his own after me paying in I could have killed him but at the same time relieved he didn't wander off because on the night he wasn't head right with drink.

I'm too old and too married for clubs anyway.

Once went to a club when part of a works night out. Hated every minute of it.

On another works night out went to fibber McGees for a Goth/Metal night out. Although I stood out like a sore thumb Ihad great fun and craic and was greeted warmly and accepted for what I am.

The so-called "regular" club was actually louder than the Goth/Metal venue.

No way. Unless I was flaming and got separated from my mates

Nothing worse to be in a club on your own when you're on fire.

Its funny you mentioned the above in terms of just having a nice chat with a randomer.I never/rarely do this anymore.I agree that its great to chat to someone and have absolutely no ulterior motive but the fact is that now if I was to approach a woman on her own in a pub/club invariably her guard goes up and she automatically assumes Im trying to get into her knickers.Im sure most blokes would be of the same opinion too.Kinda sad really especially when you hear women saying "where are all the good men gone!!!".:(

that's why I talk to men in the smoking area rather than women in club - because 2 minutes after chatting to a girl you either have her thinking your the worst lad in the world for chatting up or there's a 10 foot tall lad walkin up to you to kick your head in for talking to his gf who've being going out for 2 days..

guys are just so much sociable and up for the 5 minutes of craic when your out for a smoke.. as for just sitting in a pub on my own - i'd either keep on the game or I'd sit at home and drink cans.. wouldn't be too up for just sitting in a pub on my own.. seems kinda.... pointless

thankswhore

guys can be really naughty buggers i think.

It seems(in my experience anyway) that the women who are real bitches are the ones who are caked in tons of makeup, expensive(looking anyway) clothes. This suggests that they are in fact insecure about their appearance, they place so much emphasis on it they assume others do too.

thankswhore

I never go clubbing alone becuase of all the friends i have

KnifeWRENCH

Don't think I would. May go to a gig on my own, or a pub even if I was desperate for a night out. But clubbing on my own sounds a bit weird tbh.

Although, it does eliminate the problem of friends flaking on you.

I club on my own.
None of the crap of having to babysit a friend or friends who are rubbish with women.
I don't drink or mess about - instead I spent my entire time chatting up women, dancing with women, kissing them and then at the end of the evening taking one or more back to my place for sex.
Sometimes I pull a babe early in the night, I go o back to hers for sex and then if the night is still young, take a shower and go out again for more.
Why not?

The people who spend all their time boasting about how much sex they're having are usually the one's not getting any...:rolleyes: Seriously that sound like something you've copied and pasted from a book like 'The Game'.

I think you have a good point as I find myself to be more comfortable in approaching women than the couple of my mates I do go out with which can be a slight bit awkward. But I feel the rest of your sentences seem to be that of a 'big man' expression.:rolleyes:

I was actually about to post this. On a night out I could go out with about 5-8 friends...there is no way we would all stick together. We end up either on our own talking to a different set of friends (college/old school/work) etc or new people, often enough maybe two or three might stick together but rarely would the whole group be with eachother all night.

I think the group mentality is sort of a safety feature, not necessarily being mugged or whatever but more the social acceptability and of course the odd bit of babysitting.

HxGH

I wouln't go alone or with 100 friends. Clubbing? No thanks.

Those people who think that it's "weird" to go to a pub/club on their own or that it’s “sad” to go by yourself to the cinema or those who cannot pluck up the courage to sit by themselves in a restaurant for fear of being branded a loner are merely highlighting their own insecurities and inhibitions. People who make these types of statements may as well put a sign on their forehead which reads “This Brain is Closed For Business”

Anyone here ever go on a date with a girl who wants to meet at the front door of a pub because she is too embarrassed to go inside on her own? Immediately I know what type of woman they are and already I’ve lost interest. I know they are the type of woman who is looking for a man to latch on to and make all of life’s tough decisions for them because they can’t make one for themselves. I know that they most likely watch the Sex and the City, and think that Carrie Bradshaw is a female role model and a woman they try to emulate. I know that there is a strong possibility that they have little or no career ambition and are ticking away in the same monotonous job waiting to meet Mr Big who will hopefully earn enough money to support the two of them.
