The events that occur while out.
It’s the dancing and being with friends. It’s just silly time fun. It’s a break from being serious at work all week.
alcoholism mostly. Source: my former life
When I was 24 my then 21 year old girlfriend broke up with me because I wanted to go home at 1am instead of the usual 4am. She called me old. I think I just matured and decided I didn’t need to stay out all night anymore to be considered fun.
Alcohol suppresses feelings and aids in a great distraction really.
For me it totally depends on who I’m out with. If I’m with my close friends I could talk for that long and more, and then look forward to the next time too. Then I feel energized from it. If I’m with acquaintances then it does feel draining after a couple of hours.
I always have fun with my friends, they are funny and smart. We are night people and finish work late/start late so bars are open after work. Then, if I get drunk I can always go dancing to music that I like, which feels like a stress relief.
The day after a night of drinking is worthless
people who spend that much time at bars are usually doing other drugs while partying. It’s essentially a safe place to do drugs, party, dance. It’s essentially escapism.
Socialisation, spending time with friends, making new friends, enjoying music and dancing, soaking in and spreading great vibes!
What else would they be doing – going home or something? Doesn’t sound appealing haha
A lot of these people are hiding substance issues you’re gonna come to find
Are you an introvert and she’s an extrovert?
No idea mate, but then again I’ve no idea how watching sports can be engaging to anyone either so yea idk
Youth
Alcohol
Recovering addict / alcoholic here (5 years sober) I went to bars underage from 17-21 until I went to rehab because I had no friends, no enjoyment at home, severely depressed and I honestly wanted to off myself. Being around random people, getting drunk, and having conversations with strangers who won’t even remember me the next day made me feel something for a few hours, like I was good enough to talk too.
Pussy is the answer. Regardless of all the wonderful responses, it is Pussy
In my 20s, it was the delinquent unfiltered comradery, and the fuzzy memories of the bullshit we got into after close. Always something to keep laughing over the next time.
Buuuut after the 20s that crap isn’t so much fun as it is woeful and painful.
Basically, it was a hoot n a half until i grew up a bit and got smart.
Lets off steam and the possibility of meeting a sexy female , the only reason i went out 18 to 30 and sure wasnt for the hangovers and cash spent
Its escapism. You can forget your troubles for a few hours and have fun….hopefully….nothing good happens after midnight.
Dont worry, your friends/girlfriend will grow out of it. Im in my 50s now and that kind of night out would qualify as torture to me.
What makes staying at home and gaming for 7-8 hours and going to sleep at 4-5am enjoyable for a lot of people?
Different people like different things.
Who spends 7 or 8 HOURS at a bar that often? Even in my most drunken, bar hopping, social days I don’t recall ever spending more than maybe 4-5, and even that would be like a once or twice thing, barring an all day music fest once or twice. But the bars here also close relatively early, 1am. Typically people wouldn’t even really start showing up until 9-10ish unless there was some kind of event at the bar or you’re getting dinner first or something, but I mean there’s plenty of positives to the social experience that comes with bar life, plenty of negatives too. 8 hours, regularly though? That just seems excessive. Those type of people are typically rich alcoholics with no real friends of their own who just want some company.
It’s the alcohol. Drinking makes everything more fun cause you don’t think so much.
Drinking also makes you better at socializing so people can let loose. Without enough alcohol bars are not fun – they’re fun through the lens of someone who is buzzed or drunk.
Alcohol is like red bull for me.
Also a lot of fun shit is more likely to happen between that time. My friend fell asleep in a bush once in Vegas, and we found him on the way back to pick up some food at 7am after an all nighter breakfast. It’s a story we’ll never forget and I think that makes it worth it
This thread again.
People like to socialise, let their hair down, drink, dance, laugh and party. What’s not to understand?
“Oh but I don’t like it.” Okay? I hate chess, but I can understand why Magnus Carlson likes it.
I don’t enjoy that either but I am sensitive to noise. PLEASE just tell your fiance you are NOT into it. It’s not WRONG for her to enjoy it – lots of people do. But if YOU don’t, you shouldn’t have to do it.
Tell her you’d like to spend time with her doing the OTHER things you like to do together.
If you can’t agree on anything you like to do together or if SHE won’t make the time then… perhaps you should reconsider being engaged?
Neither one of you should have to change. You both deserve autonomy.
Hanging out with friends, meeting new people, singing and dancing, trying new drinks, bonding, and maybe getting laid.
It’s not like we’re sitting there quietly in a chair chugging alcohol and staring at a wall..
You could apply this basically any activity you don’t enjoy.
One person might be totally OK playing video games for hours and hours until late at night and think it’s totally fine. Another person might think it unthinkable to look at a monitor for 40 hrs a week and do it more when they get home.
People spend hours and hours doing things others don’t understand – playing golf, watching sports, gardening, hiking, playing board games or whatever else. If you don’t get it, you’ll feel exhausted doing it. If you like it, it feels invigorating.
