Am I the only person who hates clubs? (boyfriend, spouse, husbands)

[NDak15]

I'm not sure which forum this goes into, but I feel compelled to ask this question. Am I the only person who does not like to go to clubs or go dancing? I just find the whole activity to be so boring and tiring. Yet it seems that all anyone wants to do is go out dancing. Please be aware I am not asking for any advice here, think of this as more of a poll.

And, where exactly is the poll?

Read the post carefully. I said THINK of this as a poll. At no point did I say it WAS a poll.

Clubs can be boring, yes. There's definitely other things I'd choose as an ideal night out.

Depends what you mean by club. If you mean a nightclub-type bar with fancy lighting and recorded music that people dance to — which is basically an excuse for singles to check each other out and people who aren't getting any action to get wasted — no I don't go to those. Of course I did a few times, which is why I know I hate them. I do, however, love to hear live music in intimate settings, so I go to bars that have bands I know I like. It's not about dancing and drinking, though, so much is it is about enjoying the music in a different setting than a theater. Nothing better than hearing a good blues band in a bar no bigger than some people's living rooms, IMHO.

I never met any of my boyfriends in a nightclub and I can't think of any of my friends who did either. Work, school (especially non-credit special-interest classes), volunteer projects, and friends' parties — all better places to meet people. And weddings. I know three women who met their future husbands at weddings. One of them, who was a bridesmaid when she met her future spouse, said to me, "If he wanted to ask me out when I was wearing that hideous gown and the hairspray-do the bride made me get, I figured he'd really like me when he saw what I actually look like."

Not so much hate...but grew out of.

In college I was there all the time. Now at 32, I think I've moved onto other things. Most of my friends are married with kids, so being the only single guy and trying to get some friends to go to a club with me is not gonna happen.

I have more money now...so I do different things. I never felt I'd meet ms. Right there anyway. I'm not gonna meet her at the golf course either...but I'm gonna keep trying.

I NEVER liked going to clubs, but that's due to the fact that I can't stand most crowded noisy areas. I like more peaceful and relaxing environments. So when you go to a place where it's jam packed, and they play music you don't even enjoy then it's just something you can never get into.

It doesn't help that I'm not a dancer either. I was never into the party scene. I always thought it made me a bit boring just cause I didn't enjoy the things that most people did my age. But it's whatever.

That depends on a certain situation. But mostly I prefer more quite atmosphere.

I don't like clubs either and never did. I also am quiet but overall I just don't enjoy the feel. I don't care for even loud restaurants. Also not all clubs are like this but I am not into the pick up scene that often happens.

No, you're not the only person who hates clubs. No one among my friends has ever been into bars or clubs. It's more common than you think.
