Things people who hate dance clubs can understand

[BarbaraP]

Sometimes it can be hard to avoid going to clubs if that's what all of your friends want to do, but that doesn't mean we have to enjoy it. Here are some things people like me can understand.

1. Waiting in line in the cold and rain for hours to get into a place that's hot as hell


2. Being forced to dress elegantly and than realising that clubs destroy elegance everyday


3. The sausage festival: thirsty guys gathered around every pretty girl


4. The drinks prices based on the Bilderberg Group's income


5. That one guy dressed like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever that makes you feel embarrassed for him without even knowing him


6. Those dudes who are too drunk to avoid punching someone in the face at least once throughout the night


7. The impossibility of talking to anyone


8. ...And than looking around and realising that maybe it's better if you can't


9. Being forced to mosh in order to reach the bar counter


10. People asking if you have drugs. No, I'm a cop, now get outta here.


11. What is considered fun by others, you consider it hypacusis


12. Con los terroristas

I literally hate clubs whenever I would go with friends or alone, I just can't stand it, I can go to pub with group of my mates but just the idea of thinking how does people who you don't know grinding you in those clubs makes my skin crawl and yes I agree with every point you have listed. Normally I prefer to stay indoors or go out with mates to some exciting event. I guess that's who I am in the same time having less opportunities to meet new girls and MAYBE get in relationship with them but I guess it wouldn't work out anyway as they are from clubs after all. That being said it leaves me to last resort, I guess, which is Online Dating or meet someone through my friends which is unlikely to happen too.

[BelleGirl21]

Haha! I'm glad I'm too old for clubbing. I'd much rather curl up next to a guy on the couch and watch a movie!

[PT1911]

I'm 23 and want that lol

[Claireluvskaren]

Exactly correct.

[YourFutureEx]

Should I downvote this?

If you go to the club, everybody will assume that you're 20.

[BelleGirl21]

Stop downvoting me my future ex! @YourFutureEx 😉

[noneoftheabove]

Nah you're never too old to party. Maybe going to certain clubs id say yeah but there's plenty of places out there for people of all ages

[YourFutureEx]

Then stop lying about your age 😈

[PiuBelloAmante]

Haha how i feel almost every weekend!
i hate it!!! it makes no sense to get girls at a club either!
The girl can't see you, hear you, or even smell you, and if she does smell you you probably smell like sweat! so yeah clubs are stinky! so far Barnes and Noble has been working fine for me

[BarbaraP]

High five! You're back!

[PiuBelloAmante]

Haha yeah after over a month of non-stop clubbing i feel your pain lol!
And yeah i am back =)

[Anonymous]

youve just been going to the wrong clubs, prob only mainstream ones, that only play pop music. those are the overcrowded places, with a bunch of people that just want to drink till they pass out, with a bunch of guys that go there just to get layed, and a bunch of guys, wanna be models, looking for a fight. you have to go to more underground intimate parties. and i dont meed underground as in lots of drugs and hardcore techno. just some smaller clubs, with less, but friendlier people, where people dont want to fight or pass out from drinking, but where they just want to have a good time. lots of times some are there even just for the music. those are the clubs you'll find me in. i LOVE clubs, but none of that mainstream bs with a bad vibe from the start. fuck those

[BarbaraP]

I wouldn't consider those dance clubs, If I know which type of clubs you're talking about, I've never seen anyone dancing in those places.

[Unit1]

13. Usually plebs are in such clubs. I have no interests in relationships with plebs or convos with low-level intelligence. I don't suppose they can get me anywhere.
14. As @vekin said, the costs, boosted especially if you are a male.
15. I don't like dancing. I can not dance. I have no interests in dancing.
16. I'm more of a quiet and relaxing guy but not shy or "smallish"-like.
17. On nighttimes, when these clubs are going I'd love more to sleep and recover instead of attempting to make news of a sleepless sleepy fool. I don't have to torture myself with lack of energy.
18. Most of the times I experienced shitty music, let alone they are extremely loud.

[LittleSally]

I agree with the majorty of those, but don't with 3, 6, 10 and 12...
Not the kind of places I ever went to anyways.

Dislike crowds and hot spaces. And overly loud spaces... And sweaty people climbing over each other. O. o

[Watermelonoma]

yeah i pretty much avoid clubs for a few of these reasons... but the main one being the impossibility of talking to anyone. I just don't see the point of just going there to dance if you aren't even able to converse and meet new people easily. I'd rather go to a karaoke bar or something like that. You've got the music, and the ability to speak and interact :)

Anyhow, congrats on making your first take!

[BarbaraP]

Thanks! I was talking to a friend about it and we wrote it together. It's true, there's no point if you can't talk, I love karaoke tho.

[Octavius]

I agree with just about all of this. You can't actually "dance" at a club. It's packed shoulder to shoulder and being packed with a bunch of sweaty people is disgusting. There's always places that don't have lines that are just as good. I like a little more laid back places like jazz clubs or cocktail lounges that might offer dancing. The really abrasive people don't tend to go there.

[Anonymous]

The thirsty guys and the whole club basically being a sausage fest ruins it for me. It annoys me to no end if I want to dance with my girl friends and guys come out of nowhere. One of my homegirls is a professional about shutting them down though, she takes no bs.

[BarbaraP]

Yeah? I need to learn too.

[Opinion Owner]

Its like a super power she has or something. In the sense that if there is a guy I'm not interested in that's crowding my space, we have a signal we send each other, so she swoops in and tells the guy nicely I'm not interested. I need to learn how to do that also.

[PT1911]

The thirsty guys thing is so true.

I went clubbing with female friends of mine when I studied abroad. They could tell I didn't enjoy it, but when these thirsty guys were making them uncomfortable, I was the guy my friends could count on to make those guys back off.

[Radon]

I don't drink, smoke, shagg with drunk women, and I don't even remember the last time I went to a night club... probably 10 years a go!!! and with all the points you made above, I really don't think I been missing out much in that area, thanks luv.

[BarbaraP]

10 years without going to night clubs? Wise decision.

[Radon]

Well I guess having social anxiety disorder has its pluses. I would rather have my car kitted with large subs and play music of my own choice.

[RedHairedGirl]

LOL
I couldn't agree more on everything
I loved #9

[BarbaraP]

I actually saw that happen once.

[vishna]

9 XD

I want to go to a rave and dance my tiny heart away BUT I do fear being crowded by thirsty guys, stepped on, and having things spilled on me. Plus I have sensitive ears haha.

So 13 Acoustic Trauma

[Kittykatcrunchnuts]

I have never been clubbing and I don't ever want to go clubbing. It's not what I would do. I generally would stay at home and read a book or go on GaG while drinking hot chocolate.

[BarbaraP]

Good to know, keep reading, girl. It really is good.

[Goldie757]

I love clubbing.

[smahala1991]

I went to a club once. 30 minutes of my life i'll never regain

[abundantlyrich]

That's a funny take. lol.

It's a sausage festival more than anything else.

[zagor]

And if you were a guy unfortunate enough to show up with only other guys, you would add 13) Waiting two hours in line to get in the door, just in time for last call.

[BarbaraP]

True. And some places only want money from men, while women can go for free.

[bubble_tea]

lol very true

#13 drunk people aren't so bad anymore when you're drunk too.

[BarbaraP]

I'll have to try it next time and I'll let you know if that works for me.

[bubble_tea]

Usually being tipsy is already enough to care less. Drunk is better. No batshit drunk.. you'll regret it next morning or even right at the party when you start vomiting on the floor.

[Chiino]

I go to jazz lounges, can't handle dance clubs. I agree with all of this ahaha

[Consultant]

Lol I just go to clubs/go dancing with dates. I love dancing. Do you like dancing? @BarbaraP

[BarbaraP]

Dancing is my life, I just don't like clubs

[Consultant]

That's great. Clubs attract a lot of sordid personalities that I don't like being around but I love dancing and now that I'm not in college anymore there isn't really anywhere else but clubs to go dancing :/

[Bandit74]

Never been to one but now I know i haven't missed out on much lol
