Right there with you. I honestly don't know a better place to find single, attractive girls.
ignoring personality of course. if i sat down to watch tv with a girl who enjoyed clubbing she would want to watch american idol because this one boy is super cute and i would want to show her the documentary gasland 2 because gasland 1 was very informative and eye opening
clubs just seem to lack personalized interaction? am i saying it right? its induced social interaction in my eyes. to go to a club is generally to go to get laid (or not if your one of those types...) and it puts you in a room with other like minded people and maybe im just an older soul but thats just not attractive to me in and of itself
As a guy who's not got a particularly attractive face, my luck with the ladies is like 1000 times better when at a bar or in a more casual social situation like a house party where I can actually talk to somebdoy than I ever have in a club.
A good chunk of my highschool friends went to Montreal for uni and their social lives for the last four years has revolved around clubs. My best friend from high-school spins house music at a couple small clubs/lounges every other week and I generally have a good time going out, although I think it's more to do with seeing old friends than the venue (also lounges occasionally have front sitting areas where music isn't too loud so it's possible to have an actual conversation.)
I'm not sure about the whole (outgoing <=> you like clubs) relationship that's implied in the OP. I'm quite happy to converse with any number of people about any number of topics for very long periods of time. I really don't see how this is any less of a social activity than spending all night performing the human equivalent of a mating dance.
As for dancing, I'm actually not too bad at it (I can whip up a mean salsa), but generally don't have fun doing it unless I'm absolutely plastered. I dunno, generally if something is only fun when I'm completely toasted I'm not quite convinced that I actually enjoy it...

what this guy said. a lot of people, including me, only go to clubs for certain djs. i have no intention to meet new people at clubs but it just happens. all i know is that i'll be going with friends and dancing. i find dancing with girls and grinding to be boring. i like to move a lot.
a lot of people also just take mdma or other drugs and enjoy the music rather than just trying to get laid.
This is my take on it.
The concept of going somewhere really noisy to meet girls seems counter intuitive but obviously works for certain types of people.
I'm like 18 now, so I've only been clubbing 1 time, on a cruise. Snuck into the 18+ club, oh god, I'm such a bad boy; anyways, two dude got into a fight over a girl, had to be broken up. Nothing crazy really happened, it wasn't that much fun and honestly the only way I found to have fun in the club was to do the drugs and drinking that others were doing. It honestly felt like highschool in a party situation.
A lot of people think they won't find "the right type of girl in a club" but that's not the right attitude at all. A lot of girls go to a club once in a while for the same thing, looking for single guys. And they may go once every few months or something. Sometimes they are drug along with their friends, or sometimes they just want to go have fun. Doesn't make them a club rat or some ho you don't want any real relationship with. They are actually usually pretty easy to spot and if you are dressed half nice and approach them un-awkwardly you may find something nice
I don't drink, which seems to be half the fun in clubs. I also don't really like to make an ass out of myself with my horrible below white person dancing abilities. I got pushed into going to one once with a few people from work (they wanted me to start being more outgoing) and didn't really like it. I looked around and saw quite a few people having a good time, but I mostly just wandered around.
I just went to Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks, Colorado AND MAN Festivals are TEN TIMES BETTER. Friend of ours owns a party bus and has a sick place for the after party. I did ZERO drugs and didn't even drink much (which was really unexpected, as I planned on getting wasted >.>), it was all about the music and the people around you. I danced so much; solo, and with friends or randoms. I'm for sure going to more festivals, also I WANT TO GO TO TOMORROWLAND and EDC, I heard about it through the party bus friend he has been to both >.<
Also met this amazing chick from Belgium, not even because I was looking to get laid or anything ^_^
If the music is too loud, you need to drink more alcohol. If you thin kit's too crowded, you need to drink more alcohol. If you're insecure, you need to drink more alcohol. If you're bored, you need to drink more alcohol. If you don't think the girls are attractive, you need to drink more alcohol. If you're contemplating about anything other than having fun at a club, you need to drink more alcohol. If you're not enjoying the club, you need to drink more alcohol.
If you don't like alcohol, you need to drink more alcohol.

Not really tbh. You can drink enough booze to down an elephant and still dislike the whole 'clubbing' scene or not have fun. Not everyone enjoys it basically. Suggesting that just 'drinking more alcohol' fixes that is completely bollocks. That's like suggesting someone who dislikes knitting is suddenly going to love it because they are wasted... Not really.
Honestly I hate clubbing because of dancing. If I could go to a club, and chill out at a section of it, I would completely enjoy it since every other aspect of it is fun. Just not dancing. I don't really understand dancing in a club and just find it genuinely boring.

I hate alcohol, but I have an arsenal of other substances to aid me: LSD, MDMA, 2c-b, ketamine, etc..
I've also gone to parties completely sober. Doesn't matter what influence I am under - for me, music = <3
I liked clubbing from age 18-21. During that time, I probably went out around 150 times or more. What made it fun was going with friends and meeting girls. Making out with hot strangers and dancing and getting a high from the music is definitely fun. Taking them home if lucky is even more fun, especially if you can perform :D
At age 23 right now, I'm not really into clubbing. I'm tired of hangovers and I don't want to damage my body too much and some nights just suck anyway. Of course there will be more clubbing for me in the future, but it's not something I'm going to actively seek out.

Fuck you i'm jealous. The red rocks venue looks UNREAL. And yeah you can have a great time sober, i try not to drink too much during the actual music because it's something you want to experience and remember. There's other ways to enhance that experience though ^_^
I went to EDC chicago and it was pretty fucking amazing. I think i had more fun at Electric Forest though. I've been dying to go to tomorrowland for years but i'll have to settle for tomorrow world this year. next year though!

You dance so you can grind a chick, then make out, then take home, without even having to talk. I hated dancing too but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do ; )

Too bad I was 14 when all the music I loved was being produced lol. You're definitely right about the age thing, I've been to a couple festivals where there's fucking middle schoolers popping mdma and smoking dabs and I'm just like wtf. You sound like you'd enjoy Electric Forest, people put tons of effort into costumes and decorations and making it truly incredible experience. And of course everyone is super friendly :-D
Haven't gone to any major festivals because I'm broke, but I have friends who go to EForest every year. I will join them one day when I get more monies.
My priority is to make it out to Burning Man first, however. : )!
I thought you were talking about seals. NVM Not really my thing.
On a serious note though I've been clubbing once but it didn't really click with me. I get the draw to getting rid of some energy with the loud music and dancing but I feel like if other things were going on at that time of night I would rather be somewhere else. I'm more of a quiet drinker then a loud and energetic one. A good beer with a few good friends usually appeals to me more.
Disregard the quote btw. That's my older brother's quote and after he said that I got him dancing
Heh. I drink sometimes with friends in drinking bars but clubbing is one of the things I might not do for my entire life, not because I hate it, Just a shy guy in nature.
