you might prefer going to a more upmarket type of scene, are you familiar with the copper faced jacks museum of contemporary art

"Museum" is right: full of antiques and old, fossilised relics. Not as bad as the old Sachs Hotel was, though. That was an experience I was in no rush to repeat. :eek:

I bet you go out just to please your friends and even if you dont feel like heading out you still would because you wouldnt have the balls to tell them. and you'd have to put on a happy front when your actually sad inside.

Self-worth is a good thing, in anyone. Self-regard, on the other hand, is not. I'm just saying you're getting them mixed up.

I may have. So switch the phrasing around. Either way, it happens, which is the point.

Mini house parties are way more craic than pubs/clubs in my opinion.

Or just gigs and movies. Except I've no local cinema or concert arena... :rolleyes:

Cinema and theater are all well and good...unless you actually want to talk to your friends.

As opposed to a NIGHTCLUB

Does not compute !

I didn't mention the word nightclub, they're brutal haven't been to one since I was 19.

As opposed to pub: no contest.

Even when you do go to the cinema with your friends nothing beats going for a pint afterwards to dissect what you've just watched.

I dont mind hitting the clubs once in a while, sometimes its fun, couldn't do it every week, gets old very quick.

Hey i dont like going out socialising in ireland. i dont mind going to a local pub for a few drinks but i hate going to a club afterwards especially on a bus and its miles away. you dont get home till late and am very tired in the mornings. I dont go overboard drinking because i dont want a sore head next day. everyone has to brand me the dry****e because i dont want to go any further than the pub. and even if i do go out to club i would be socially awkward because i wouldnt have enough drink taken. and i am usually bored.

What lifestyle would suit me?

For starters, ignore anyone calling you dry etc. When they are dying with a hangover, you'll be the one full of beans. You're not a dry****e, they're gob****e's.

Im taking it from your post that you live in a relatively rural area so unfortunately dont think you have the options available in cities or large towns.

Best bet is the good old reliable house party. Few tunes on a guitar, game of twister, play cards etc.

Swap your age with me OP will you...

I think you were meant to be my age looking at all this talk.

Seriously, anyone that is under 25 and not bopping their arses off at the weekend needs to get real. The hot chicks, the tunes, the escape from the boring little reality of our 9-5's ...

Ahhhh, Yep, Them were the days. Maybe i come from a generation when the tunes were much better than today. This is your time OP. The time when you can let it all go and do not give a fcuk what anyones. The tunes, the sun, the ladies .... yeahhh... i feel it, i am back their now ...

Them days in Portugal, Ibiza, Greece, Mexico ...

Maybe just a certain few feel it in their bones, feel the rythm and the music takes over the body... feeling ALIVE !!!

And in a flash, it is over !!! You are my age and you are expected to conform and be sensible. Trust me OP... act young when you are young because it is over in a flash ...

Them days will always be a savage memory for me...

Dublin is sh*t for clubs, and it gets old quick. Variation of places, people and experiences is the way to go.

Each to his own though is suppose

As a lifestyle choice, this would be my choice if at all possible

kielmanator · 05-09-2011 01:06AM

But in fairness, that's just your own opinion of how a young person should live, which is fine and perfectly valid.

But the OP has already stated that he's not interested in that sort of lifestyle.
I don't think he's pretending or just hasn't realised he'd love a party lifestyle!

You might be surprised by the number of young people not into the typical Irish social life.

You say when you get old you're expected to conform, but it sounds like you think the OP should conform to a certain lifestyle too!

(and I know you say "each to their own" at the end of your post, but I choose to see that as ass-covering, contradicted by what you said earlier

)

Must say Ive no problem with either just a few pints, house partys, or clubs all depends of what humour im onth night really. But to dismiss all nightclubs in Ireland with some of the stereotypical stuff been spouted here is just stupid. Plus now in ireland there are also plenty of so called trendy pubs or disco bar type places that have late bars aswell, do these count as cattle markets type places aswell?

p.s everyone talking about breaking out guitars in houses just reminds me of this, I cringe when I see someone breaking out a guitar.

I hate the pub/club scene. I don't like the taste of drink and as I'm too sensitive to background noise I can't hear a thing in there. I come out with a sore throat with all the shouting over unnecessarily loud music.

Then again, I'm also a loner so make of that as you will.

paky · 05-09-2011 01:17AM

i here you op. alcohol has completely ruined this country. it has even invaded the sports scene here aswel. look at graham mcdowell a couple of weeks ago when he went out on the beer for 48 hours after winning the trophy? wtf??? i guarantee you'll see kilkenny hurlers chugging beer on telly at some stage tomorrow aswel.
its quite shocking at how bad it is in this country and if you hold a similar mindset to the op you may aswel be a castaway.
ire;ands come dine with me was a complete disaster and showed how disgraceful this problem is here in ireland. its bizarre that this level of drinking is part of any civilized country.

i think people need to wake the fcuk up

Destroyer666 · 05-09-2011 01:30AM

Loads of other options, join a sports group if you are into a sport or you may have a hobby that you could become part of a group. Im sure if you check various hobby fourms on boards you may be able to meet other boardies with the same hobby. Ive often been unable to drink while out with mates due to work the next day etc and the amount of ****e you have to listen to when sober is horrible. Good luck.

watna · 05-09-2011 01:32AM

I rarely go to clubs or bars anymore. The only time I go to the pub really is Friday night after work drinks.

We eat out a lot or have friends over for dinner to watch films/play board games/talk ****. We go to the movies a good bit and I often meet friends to go for walks in the evenings, especially as where I am, spring is finally here and the weather is picking up.

Although, I am a bit older and did go out to clubs and bars a good bit a few years ago. You just kind of get over it a bit when you get a bit older. Maybe get some older friends?

Donal Og O Baelach · 05-09-2011 01:55AM

Teenager on way home from nightclub: I think that was a **** night.

I love going to pubs/clubs. Dont have to drink a ridiculous amount (unless its somewhere like coppers,but it is very very unlikely you will get me into the place unless someone is leaving the country) and enjoy a good dance and drinks with friends havin the craic.

Although I am noticing that where Id enjoy doing that twice a week, now its twice a month. End up having people over in mine and preferring to stay in and have the craic than go out and spend a fortune. Maybe Im getting old and sensible, I dunno

Don't like going out
