Gay Men Who Club or Bar-Hop Too Damn Much...

Haven't you ever heard of the Yooper Bowl?

Twice a year. Lions vs. Packers.

It is the only reason most every bar has TWO televisions.

(You should have seen the angst when Mariucchi was Lions Coach. His parents have a Packers shrine at their house in Iron Mountain!)

No, I haven't. Although you haven't to remember, I'm in Eau Claire. Our rivalry is Packers vs Viqueens...
 
I had a club phase, but at most I'd go out 3 nights a week, and this is during summer or during college... I'm still in college and the most I'll go out is a Friday and Saturday. If they're going every night it does sound like they have an issue/addiction. Everyone is defending by them by saying they want to have fun, but you have to consider that maybe they're using excessive partying as a way to cover up some greater void in their lives at the moment. I've always found club culture to be extremely vapid and lacking in substance, very commercial, very uncultured in a way... if you're indulging in that kind of scene every night, I wonder what kind of person you are.
 
I think I'd rather shoot myself in the foot with a nail-gun.

But when I was young, I went out all the time. I preferred the lower-key establishments, not all that into dancing or "scene" or large-scale cruising. But I could stay up until four and go to work at nine, easy... sometimes I didn't go to bed at all and still made it through the next day.

And if you buy in to the illusion, clubbing can feel like a "peak experience," similar to orgasms and milestones; it's very easy to become addicted to that lifestyle.

When it starts interfering with the rest of your life is when it becomes a problem. When you hit the age where you can't stay up all night anymore and have to resort to Tina to make it through; when the colored lights and music aren't thrilling you as much and you have to do some other drug to make it exciting again; or when you drive forty miles in a blizzard and then drive home drunk in a blizzard: that's when you have a problem.
 
Probably I could be like your friends but first I would need to find a good and/or cheap gay bar or club here in Granada

once, maybe twice a week for Happy Hour and always at the smaller bars. Would rather go to private parties. Used to be that "gay" meant you HAD to be in the bars. I think that has changed a lot.

Smaller bars can definitely be OK, and definitely private parties work. I don't like situations where I'm prevented from being able to talk, or even THINK. As somebody else said, clubbing is a good way to be alone without being alone - but that's the point exactly. Why bother, if I can be alone without going out?

And yes it was almost a given that, if you were geigh (rhymes with weigh, lol), you HAD to go clubbing or barhopping. That "requirement" helped me acquire my distaste for it early, not even considering that my far-back experiences with clubs was that they tended to be extremely cliqueish, at least in Detroit, Ann Arbor, Mount Clemens, and Toledo.

Better yet, the U. P. should secede from Michigan and become Superior, the 51st state.

Or maybe the 52nd state after District of Columbia becomes a state.

While I can't speak for others after having more freedom I have recently gone out clubing. To places like LeBuzz, Heretic, and some other places.

Although there are VERY few places I can go because of being fucking 19. But some clubs are just damned fun. It doesn't matter if it's all twinks or if there are some drag queens. Some places are pretty friendly and respectful and they have a little bit of something for everyone.

I really enjoy dancing so some clubs I'll go to just to dance. And some I'll go just to as someone said, "Being alone without being alone". I like that phrase. I might use it more often.

I usually go with a friend though. It's more fun that way. Sometimes more than one friends. I do want to explore some other clubs though. Well I have tried some "other" clubs. Since I'm 19 I can't drink. But one club that I liked that closed down had insanely good music and a very sexual atmosphere and lots of guys were dancing shirtless and damn that was just so much fun.

But I don't see the need to go out every night. I mean clubs aren't really that good until the weekends or occasionally a themed night during the week. And if you mean barhopping by, "OH let's go to the jungle. Oh I'm not having fun we're going somewhere else anyways". Than yes that is fucking annoying. Going somewhere and not even giving it a chance or just deciding, "Eh fuck it." It's wasteful for gas, money, and time. I try to give places a chance. However sometimes a place is just dead or has a slow night.

I really would have loved to grow up during the 80's and going to places like backstreet and etc. I would have been there all night dancing my ass off and taking disco naps in between.

But who knows this might be a phase like some say. But regardless of it's a phase or not. It sure is a fun phase. But I would not go out if the weather sucks or something happened. I've sort of taken a break from it and just go out every once in a while now.
 
I love it. Although I live in the city so going out is as much effort as crossing the road.
 
I don't see what the problem is if thats there way of having fun let them be as long they are not harming anyone or themselves.

Theirs always people who are addicted to something

If i live in a bigger city and the clubs are a stone throw away from my house and i have gay friends i would be addicted too. Minus well enjoy your life instead of watching it rot away. It sucks living in a small town and all the fun stuff is a few hours away


Eventually im going to have my own weekend out to a bigger city even if its by my self

Yep, I noticed that.

A friend in Toledo, Ohio has been calling the U. P. "Superior" since the Seventies...and has always insisted that they should secede. Maybe because he's an über-diehard Ohio State fan and hates Michigan with a passion, but really enjoys the U. P.
 
I'm so sick and tired of threads about how gay men are all so mentally and socially broken.

Trust me there's plenty of straight people in their 20s who would walk across hot coals to get themselves to a club.

It's not being gay, it's being 24.
 
Party if you wish, I have a party at home.
Could it be lonelilness...........................................................................................?

Life should include ample amounts of fun, but there is a role also for social criticsm. I see a lot of people having fun tanning themselves incessantly, and I do wonder why the obits are full of people dead of cancer.

And all those folks having a ball dining at McDonald's three times a day!

I suppose they have go out clubbing every night of the week to dance off all that fat, salt, and grease, and show off their smokin' tans.
:roll:
 
I think it's a mistake to assume that just because you question the sensibility of going out clubbing seven nights a week you are not having any fun yourself.

Personally, I'm out about 3-4 nights a week. I frequent a variety of venues, have been known to cavort with strippers, visit bathhouses, keep my cocktail glasses full, let the liquor run like water; and I see and sample this and that out here and there. And that was just last week.

I just don't do it seven nights a week, and would not advise anyone else to.

That would be excessive. And we can't have that. Not in these troubling times.

Umm, it's not about having fun, it's about having sense. No harm in having fun as long as it doesn't infringe on your own well-being and job.

I enjoy going out as much as they do. But I don't do it SEVEN days a week. They spend nearly 70% of their monthly income on drinks at the bar and cover. And then they've got the nerve to complain to me about being broke all the time and having alot of debt.

It's abundantly clear they have a problem.

Speaking of which:

UPDATE

Remember the two friends who were foolish enough to go out in a damn blizzard to go clubbing? The ones who thought it would be perfectly sane and rational to drive an hour into the city at the height of snowstorm?

Well, they got into a car accident on the way back. They're all right and suffered no injuries, but they had to call the po-po and a tow truck to dig their car out of a snowbank.

They swerved off the road and hit another car in the back when taking an exit.

The car's damages will probably total around $1300.

And that's only THEIR car.

Fools.
