so yeah, some of my previous pictures may not show and ya'll may even just be surprised, but i hate clubs...




-the whole exclusivity of waiting in line and paying "just to get in"

-dress code conditions (granted its not like im barefoot wit a wife beater, but i cant have tims on cuz why? and i gotta throw away my chain? fuck yo establishment)

-mandatory coat check (more $)

-all the drinks are like 2 times their normal price, and im already tryna get drunk to forget how mad i am for having to be there (see: party)

then


-you get in and girls only dance in circles wit they friends and look at you like a dick for expecting to meet new people in an environment catering to social interaction; and the guys are looking over your shoulder like predators

-did i mention in a "good club" you're usually shoulder to shoulder?

and even if you do meet someone ...you gotta scream over the music

OH YEAH and the music is like top 10 radio on repeat





gimmie a nice little jazz lounge where i can get in someone ear

is that too much to ask?

anybody else feel this way about clubs?

The only time I'd go is if a bunch of my friends were going and we had a nice place to gather and sit together. Like the VIP area.

Other than that I really don't care to go.

I hear ya.

I go to bars and pubs. Give me a whole lot of people - tourists, locals, men, women, ladyboys, great staff, and lots of interesting stuff to see and I'm a happy man. No dress code, no price to get in, no coat check, and you never know who you're going end up sitting with, talking to, and dancing with - your group, old friends you bump into, or new friends.

I don't want to go and pay outrageous prices for drinks.

I don't want to have drinks spilled on me by some drunk idiots.

I don't want to pay an outrageous fee to get in.

I'm so over the club scene.

I don't mind the odd club now and again, VIP service back in the day was fun but these days prefer jazz bars & cocktail lounges. Dim lights, lots of cushions and lounges, chill out music and quality peeps.

I just have to tell you again how gorgeous you are.

I got invited to go out this weekend but probably won't be going. I hate clubs. Especially straight clubs.

i hate it...most of my peers live and die by that shit..


i can tell you how many of these get handed to me



granted, i like ass as much as the next dude but still...

Even if I were there?

hokie said:

wow (pantha) i just saw your picture... women must try to trip you everywhere you go

hokie said:

Sweety ur beautiful

hokie said:

It's different going with friends but I never venture out alone.

I'm not a club person.

I'm a bar person.

SirPsycho said:

i like funky little clubs that are unpretentious and let in a diverse crowd.

berlin in chicago on friday nights is great.

squeezebox in NYC was great when it was open.

a bad club, though...yeah, there's not much worse. i could be home watching a movie or reading or even SLEEPING, instead of spending tons of money to be miserable all night.

I hate the club scene

Anxiety said:

i think i know what you mean...i know a few spots in brooklyn that are chill, and the dj has enough sense at least to play different kinds of music...

but mostly? i get invited to clubs advertised by hot 97

PanthaGirl said:

Thanks!

I'm a Scrabble-and-crosswords-at-home kinda guy...

ThreadBare said:

I love Scrabble, but I'm not too good at it.

I would much rather be around good friends and have good fun and conversation than go out to a noisy club.

I have to be in the mood for a club and I usually only go to hear my fave DJs spin like Biz Markie or Kid Capri. But regardless, I don't do lines, I don't pay, and I must be in VIP or else I ain't doing it. As for drinks, I'm not a big drinker and having been a waitress I know how unsanitary clubs and bars are so I usually stick to Voss water.

Are people just finding out how gorgeous PanthaGirl is? She's unbelievable! It's incredulous to the threshold of my consciousness. Not to mention she's such a sweet person. I hate the idea of clubs. Never been to one. Probably never will be at one. No one invites me to anything.

I'm a fif-in-a-brown-paper bag person... the only good clubs I ever found were in Europe... that was a decade ago...

gimme a fif an' I'm straight...

you already know...

I like to think I like going but once I get there I'm like GET ME OUTTA HERE.

If it weren't for the loud music, I'd never go. Unless it's shitty music I can't dance to.

Mysterioso said:

U sweet thang'

Do U only dislike clubs? How about the bar lounge scene?

SirPsycho said:

i guess i mean that some clubs know how to set a mood...they bring people in because the music and the attitude have a special flavor they want to enjoy, and when it works, it's such a beautiful thing.

PanthaGirl said:

The latter sounds somewhat appealing. I'm a laid back, chill kind of guy most of the time. I like to let loose sometimes, though. But mostly, I'm just calm.
