It really isn't.

I'm happy with my boyfriend and don't find any need to go hook up or flirt.
If I go it's to play DDR or have some drinks or just doll up and be silly.

I've never been into going to bars. I don't care to drink or be around people that drink.

I have friends who sing in bars, so I go watch them, hang out. I love playing pool so we do that too.

When I go clubbing, I love bar hopping, going from one club to the next. Just dancing to different types of music depending on the music. Since its a small world I tend to run into people I know and haven't seen in a while so its always fun to go dancing.

I have never gone to a bar for flirting or hooking up. I have met my boyfriend in a bar but we were both there with a group of friends and we weren't there in the aim of finding someone....it just happenned, lol.

When I go out to a bar or a club it's to hang out with friends, have a few drinks, and generally have a good time. I'm not looking for someone to hook up, not really my style.

I really don't enjoy alcohol so I don't go to drink. I dance and sing a bit. I like to go out when there;s something going on. For instance, we saw a drag show this weekend which was fun. I need something more entertaining than just drinking, I guess

I used to go to bars or clubs three or four nights a week. Now, just once in a while, usually with friends to watch sports or have a bite to eat. I don't miss it and my body thanks me for it.

I mostly go to clubs dance. I lovvvve to dance, haha. Clubs are a place to show off my sweet moves.

If I had more money, I'd go to the pub more than I do. I like to be in my local pub where all the staff know me, it just feels like home. I like to go with friends or bring a book if I'm alone, sip a pint, maybe have a bite to eat. It's just a lovely place to relax.

I go to drink and hang out with friends and get away from just doing the same at my apt. I've only been 21 for a few months and have been in a relationship the whole time so I never have gone to look for hook ups but if I weren't attached I'd probably add that as a reason.

I go to clubs to DANCE! Though I only ever go to clubs for raves, which are pretty different in terms of why people go. I go hang out with friends and meet awesome people, but not to pick up. (Though it has happened )

I find them loud and hard to connect with people. I do enjoy going out to dance sometimes, but rarely. I especially don't like them if smoking is allowed.

I have recently started exploring the bars in my town. Being able to try new drinks, that I might not get to try at home is nice. And there are usually specials that keep from me breaking the bank. Having drunken conversations with strangers is fun. Last week I went to a bar that had a small dance floor. It was cinco de mayo, and this was a cantina, so the place was PACKED. I normally don't dance, but I had like 5 drinks in me at this point, and I realized you don't actually have to dance to fit in on a crowded dance floor. There was so much energy, it was intoxicating. I normally slow down a bit when I get drunk, but when I got out of there I was so hyped up. I didn't feel drunk at all. My friend thought someone had put something in my drink. It was amazing. But I think it can only work with a crowded dance floor and a few drinks in me.

I have never really been a bar person. And I don't think I have ever set foot in a club, I refuse to go because I think they are stupid and the music sucks. (maybe once... MAYBE, in East Van, for a poetry reading my brother was filming.)

When I do go to bars, it is to spend time with my friends because that is where they want to go and this is primarily due to a live band and generally I know at least one of the band members. The last time I went, was to see a friends moms band, and I sat there with a friend and drank beer, crocheted, and talked to an old dude who claimed to have been wearing the same jacket since 82. We were apparently a primary discussion topic for close to half of the patrons.

My partner and I have had this discussion in the past. I used to think bars and stuff was great, but that was when I was single & I truly only partied to be comfortable with myself and others and to get noticed by someone special. Sad!

A long time ago we were asked to go out to a bar and when he asked me if it was something I cared to do I surprised myself by saying "No, I can't think of a reason it would interest me." I realized it was because I didn't NEED to do those things anymore, I didn't NEED to have someone notice me. & I told him that. I didn't even realize before that that was why I had been doing it.

He agreed with me and we've never done the bar scene. We occasionally visit a friend who we both grew up with's house party when he comes home from the army every once in a while. Aside from visiting him at his coming home parties, we rarely engage in those things. I must admit, I do have a good time there when they get a little crazy, but it can be annoying. I can't deal with wasted men sitting all over me and getting too close in my face for long.

I don't have interest in bars because I just think it can be a risky place for someone who's in a serious relationship. I just know that most people go to bars to hookup and I wouldn't want to put myself in a position to where someone would be drunk and try crossing a line with me. I don't do well with that either.

That's just how we choose to do our thing though. We prefer to try and avoid places where it'd be too common to be grabbed or disrespected. A lot of people in bars are drunk and don't think before they act or speak. Not all though.

Lol Oh My! I can't believe how much your reasons sounded exactly what I have said before! I hate loud places too! I thought I was the only one who got migraines from that. Most people can blare the music to the point of busting their ear drums with no problem, I can't.

Also, your first reason is also my main reason for not engaging in the bar scene! How cool, I'm not the only one in the world

I'll go to a bar with friends on occasion. And by on occasion, I mean maybe three times per year at the most generally. The boyfriend isn't a huge fan either. I don't go to clubs at all. I do drink on occasion, a bit more often than I go to bars, maybe even TWICE as often! Or even three times as much! Otherwise, it just really isn't my scene. I'd much rather drink at a smallish gathering with friends in someone's home.

I used to enjoy going to clubs when I was younger but don't so much anymore. They are just not my thing. I go with my bf or a friend every once in a blue moon when I'm in the mood to dance. I enjoy going to bars a lot though

I like to go to drink and have fun. For me, clubs and bars are not a good place to "hook up".

I like bars because I like to talk to the bartender and socialize with others sitting at the bar- that's pretty much what I do at my job anyway.

As for clubs, it has to be really good for me to want to go. I'll go if friends want me to go, but I always attract the creepier characters and I get a head ache from loud music.

I honestly would much go to late night gallery showings- they tend to be more R/X- rated and the people are pretty sexy and a lot more interesting (generally speaking, of course) to talk to.

I do not go because they do not interest me. I am much more interested in spending time with people that I enjoy being around.
