Just curious to know how common this is on WP. I've never gone clubbing because I don't enjoy getting drunk, I'm not crazy about the music and have no interest in dancing. Plus my lack of social skills. So I've never wanted to go to one and have wriggled out of it one those rare occasions I've been invited to one. It's not that i disapprove of clubbing, it's just I don't think it's for me and doesn't sound fun for me at all.

I've never been to a nightclub.
I don't want to either. Everywhere plays s**t music and they're probably full of w*kers anyway.

I like that they are dark, and the music drowns out the sound of people, its easy not to look at people too.
I prefer a quiet pub though.

I prefer nowhere.
I'd rather stay at home on my own.
People are disgusting.
We have loads of them round here. But I'm not going to go to any. I'll porobably get stabbed and murdered or something.

I used to go quite regularly, I don't really like them that much as the music is generally more than comfortably loud for me but they are the only place to get a drink after kicking out time at the pubs. Saying that, even most pubs play loud music on Fridays and Saturdays nowadays. I have never had that much trouble (depending on where I have gone) although I have gotten into a couple of situations, one of which ended up by me getting bottled in the neck and 7 or 8 broken and busted open knuckles trying to defend myself although luckily I wasn't hurt too badly. Although saying that, that wasn't actually in a club but outside and somebody attacked me completely at random so perhaps it was a freak occurance.

In one way the good thing about clubs is that you don't really have to speak to anyone because it is too loud.

LOL. I thought from the other thread that nobody's taste in music was s**t? 8) You might like Rockworld at Jilly's on Oxford Road in Manchester, they play a lot of metal music like Rammstein and some of the black metal stuff too. It is quite cheap too; only problem being that the floors are sticky and the drink is watered down. I used to think I must be hard or something because I could drink 20 shots of JD without much adverse effect but then I realised that this phenomena only occured at Jilly's and that the drink was obviously watered down.

I went to a nightclub with my friend for my 18th birthday...it turned out to be a gay club. Nobody was a dick so when he asked me to go again I went (he turned out to be gay). I hate the scene though, and refused to go again the next time he asked. It's loud, inescapable noise from the time you enter to the time you leave, you get the sweat (and more) of a million strange and dirty people on you, I came out smelling like beer and cigarettes (which I HATE, because I always feel stale and non-existant when I smell like this), it's dark and more often than not they've put up strobe lights, which makes it extremely difficult for me to navigate or really know where I am even in a one room club...plus it's a false friendliness amongst other club hoppers that I can't stand. They're either overly nice and "fun" (not my definition) because they are extremely high, and you have how much of reality they actually still have a grasp on, or because they're looking to get laid, or because they're just so pumped up on adrenaline (also "high", I guess) and excited about being out dancing and yelling and all that, that they're friendly in a non-meaningful way (the way you might actually be nice to someone you hate right after getting a new puppy, per se).

Basically, clubs are loud, disorienting, smelly, and everything is artificial.

I've been to two nightclubs, and gone to each of those twice. And that's all.

I loathed the idea of being in such close proximity to so many people, in such dark surroundings, where I couldn't really tell what was going on over the thudding of the horrible music.

Add to that the fact that dancing and I don't get on, and I really don't see the point in paying to get in and paying for absurdly expensive drinks once you're inside, for the vague possibility that you might suck face with a complete stranger.

Bleagh.

You are absolutley correct in any country you care to name. I've only been to clubs a couple of times and that was mostly to give credibility to my claim that I HATE NIGHTCLUBS!! !

Every time I've gone to a nightclub, it's been for one of two reasons:
1. The nightclub had live entertainment featuring a performer I wanted to see;
2. I was out with a bunch of friends and we decided to go to a nightclub.

In the first case, I go to see the band or performer. In the second, I'm hanging out with friends. I never go to a nightclub just to go "clubbing". I'm not sure what that even means.

(I saw the Industrial band Front Line Assembly at a nightclub a few weeks ago. What a great show!)

I have never been to a night club, and don't have any plans to in the future. They simply don't interest me.

I thought I'd hate it. I'm sure I would still hate most of them. But I've recently started going to a gothic industrial nightclub that I intend on attending weekly. It's loud, and the loudness defeats the initial purpose of meeting fellow goths (hard to really talk to anybody when it's that loud), but I've found the dancing is surprisingly fun. Also, it's nice to see some people that I think are actually attractive. (My schools have never had very many, if any goths, so I've mostly just been limited to seeing hot goth girls in pictures on the internet and what not.)
