are bars depressing?Follow

#27 Aug 31 2007 at 10:48 AM Rating: Decent
I'm in my mid-30's and I've never hung out in bars, except about a year ago a friend of mine had a bachelor party and we went to a few bars as a group in San Diego. I was impressed. Most of my preconceived notions about bars were wrong, and the reality was better. The guys were more friendly then I imagined, the music better, the places cleaner (in general) the girls cuter and friendlier and there were more of them then I imagined. I should add my expectations were low.

But I'm married, so I can't comment on hooking up in bars since I have no interest in changing that.

Anyway, he's right, it's not the bar, it's the people.

And the reason why you go.

And well, sometimes it's the bar too.

But mostly, it's the people, as whats-his-name rightly pointed out.



Who are you?

I think I've figured it out.

I don't really "party" anymore. I mean I have "get togethers", and maybe have a decent sized hoo-raah for a holiday like New Year...
but back in the day going to a party seems to be what we did by default. There is always something going on somewhere and we usually found it and if we didn't; then we improvised. So nowadays I'll see these car loads of kids(lol) driving around and I know that there is some bash going on somewhere.
Then again
The last few parties that I've been to usually were like my take on bars.... drunken idiots..gettting into fight.. womanizing ....harlotry... and general retardedness all around.... and in order for me to really appreciate it .. I'd have to get drunk to a level that would probably make me ill... since I'm so much of a lightweight now.

My girl is now getting into the habit of dragging me out to bars now. We bring some friends.. but other than that I don't know anybody.... except the DJ who I harass constantly.

So I think that bars are good for filling in that social bug. A easy way for people who otherwise only see their friends at work or on special occasions or that don't have any friends to begin with.
So I supposed that being depressed about going to a bar Would me that you are depressed about getting old.... Everything changes socially after school. Some of the most pathetic displays that I have ever seen has been people trying to pretend that this isn't true.

At least I'm not in the habit of going to the bar without you and dragging some other guy home. =p

And could you PLEASE explain to me how the fUck you are depressed? While I'm drunk - dancing.. well I'm drunk so it's pretty much just me rubbing up against you... then I drag you home where I proceed to take advantage of you for the rest of the night until we pass out...

So don't believe his bs - He's not in some depressing scene with his lame gf dragging him around... it's quite the opposite... I should think he would have entitled this post "are bars paradise?"

I hang out with a group of people who enjoy going out, or going to each others homes and eating and drinking and having fun. We are all in our our thirties with one or two in their forties and a few in their mid to late twenties. It's about half and half on couples verses singles. The differences is a lot of them are in the service industry, barenders and waiters for example, so while they enjoy getting fucked up, it's not the reason for the season. Drink is the social lubricant but anyone who acts out, gets stupid or ends up becoming a bore upon drinking doesn't tend to get invited back. So, at least in my case, it's not a pathetic social deal wherein we all try to pretend we are still in school and hiding from life, we know we are living our lives right now and would really like to enjoy it.

Cleary he's experiencing some sort of crisis of fun then. Here's my advice, Kelv:

Drink. More.

And, wtf does "rip a few bingers" mean? Knowing you, it probably means you're toking up, but it also sounds like you've got some really horrid gas that you would not wish to unleash inside the bar for fear of killing the patrons and possibly causing an explosion.


Considering you had a "Towelie" avatar for quite some time, I find it funny you have not heard that term. Could be a local maryland term...

On topic, I find its usually the construction or building of a bar thats more depressing than the patrons. Beer gardens are fun and have a good atmosphere. Most bars have poor ventialtion, few windows and overly loud music.

Of course, the stench of escapism and deseperation always permeates the air in bars; is that what you're reffering to?
