Whats the point in going out on saturday and friday nights?

Question

I don't seem to enjoy it anymore, does this come with age? The night clubs are usually crammed with people, sh#t music, horrid drinks, can't hear people talk, no chill-out areas. One of the nearest clubs to me (totally sh#t) is called 'Arena' (arena means fight floor right?) this just sums it up, its a frigging cattle market people are really pushy. Is this the new state of things for niight clubs or haave they always been this way?

Answer 1

your getting old babe...sorry

Answer 2

Everyone likes to pretend they're having a great time in a club otherwise they have to admit they have made a costly mistake so that's how clubs get away with charging ridiculous entry fees. Emperor's clothes ****.
Have you ever seen a film of the village hall dances from post war Britain. Probably a repertoire of 5-10 songs and everyone made the best of it. It's still like that in Africa everyone out to enjoy themselves they no the music ain't great but they make it happen and sometimes the music is great.
People are fickle most easily demonstrated by 'theme bars' everyone goes there cos it's hip an' happenin and then somewhere else opens its doors down the road and everyone starts going there. You go back to your old haunt a few months later and surprise surprise its different loads of youngsters and oldsters looking for something that's moved elsewhere - everyone disappointed NO SURPRISE
The 'in crowd' are obnoxious wankers. You may never have been in the 'in crowd' but you you must surely have met them in your younger days. Age doesn't come into the equation; realisation maybe, When you were younger you would put up with all this **** but now you realise what a pile of crap it is or you are now.
I can recommend House on Fire in Swaziland if you think you might be interested in a Gaudi esque open air club.
English pub next door no crap popping across and re-entering club.
Go travelling or stick to your local boozer

It sounds like you are going through a dilemma that you think you cannot control, one day you will look back and laugh and talk endless about those crazy days that you seem to dislike so much. Just think back when you were at Infant or Junior school what you used to get up to. I expect others would have thought the same about youngster than as you seem to be doing right now about letting yourself go and allowing yourself to enjoy those ridiculous busy nights, deafening places etc etc. Believe me it doesn't really get any better unless you want to live on a dessert Island all by yourself. Sit back chill out, have a bottle of wine and watch the TV, gorge yourself with food and sweets and then tell everyone what you done, what do you think they will say - either, it's good to chill out now and again, or call you sad and let you know what your missing. It's always been the same since time began, Urgh!!

Answer 4

Night clubs have always been 'fight clubs', first time I went into one a guy was coming down the steps head first followed by 2 huge bouncers, I was terrified and wanted to go home, everyone just told me it was normal and the more I went to nightclubs the more I saw fights and pushing and shoving everywhere, never liked them much and only go in them these days on high days and holidays, the pubs in our town are just as bad, 'fight bars' shoving and pushing and drinking going everywhere but into the mouths of the person they should be, hate it, always have done, how are you supposed to enjoy going out into that atmosphere and say you have had a good night, we call the pubs in our town 'pulling pits, full of t*ts n pricks' sorry rude I know but what other way is there to describe them, thank god I am past it.

Answer 5

I definately agree with you, the bar scene is getting old for me as well. I went out last night and the only reason I had a good time was I had a chance to hangout with my friends. Other than that, the bar was boring and had I gone without a group of friends I would have had a horrid time. It's basically a meat market with over priced watered down drinks.

Answer 6

As you get older these places become less and less appealing. And as the years go by even casual gatherings with friends and family become more exhausting. So many tiring conversations, all the so-called friendships, all that time trying to decide what to wear and how you look... aaack. You come to realize that there is nothing better than being at home and reading a good book (or answering yahoo.questions!).

Answer 7

I totally agree love! I don't like them much either and yes the music is sh**t, the place is crawling with stupid little wa**ers and you can't move for them!
I think in the days of the early sixites and mid-seventies (before I was born!), so I'm told, clubs used to be a lot more fun. They do seem to be cattle markets now don't they? I suggest if you're ever out again take a bloomin' big cattle prod out with you!

Answer 8

Congratulations!

Your mind has improved with a little maturity, and you now are looking for something that has more to offer. You're in luck, because there are so MANY things to do!

Check out your local Continuing Education programs (often offered through the local college) for a list of weird & wonderful classes on everything from Chinese cooking to tango lessons.

Look around for exciting clubs & organization; learn to ride a horse bareback, or take riflery instruction, or join up with an historical re-creationist society.

Or, the ultimate adult pleasure, a solo road trip to anyplace you haven't been.

Welcome to REAL excitement, and REAL pleasure!

Answer 9

Whooooo! Yeeee-haw! Nightclubs ROK!

Not.

If I could set up a nightclub with only people I liked, I might go to them. But they're full of psychos and pervs and just garden-variety a$$wipes, all movin' around, gettin' drunk and lookin' to screw. Not my scene. Never been my scene. I mean, I went to an official "party school"--the University of Florida, and people partied HARD there! But I rarely went to clubs or parties cuz it just made me uncomfortable to be in smelly ol' clubs with a bunch of jerks I wouldn't talk to on the street. If you wouldn't hang out with those people, at, say, a library or drinking coffee, why would you want to get drunk with them? It's all some bizarre social ritual that just makes me feel disoriented and unpopular. Whatever.

I think clubs have been like that since the first one opened in a cave somewhere, with people tripping over piles of animal bones and drinking stuff they fermented in some animal's bladder. Clubs let people be free--to be a$$holes. F**k that.

Answer 10

I think it's always been that way with crowds at weekends . The only difference is most of the younger generation are more selfish and ill mannered and don't have much respect for other people. Too much drink is also to blame.

Answer 11

Always been that way... awful aren't they?

Now's the time to pop down to your local at 9pm, a couple of nights a week. Join the darts/pool team. Back before 11pm. Just in time for a hot cup of cocoa, slippers and a spot of TV before retiring for the night.

Or spend an evening with your favourite person at a cosy country pub with open fire and pint of real ale.

Life just got better for you!
