i think people who decide what other people should be doing with their free time are losers.

^This. I have no problem seeing men/women of varying ages (21+) frequent bar and lounges. If you're married and looking to hook up then that is a different story.

I like to hang in clubs that have local bands, it's always nice to see up and comers. I'm 47.

Sorry rudeguy but I think anybody who goes to a bar is a loser.

umm...that's the same thinking that I have. It was fun when I was 21, now it just sounds expensive and drama-filled.

I said I look at it one sided because I don't drink

That's ok Moonster. We all think the same of you.

Yeah, but the difference is that I don't give a crap what others think, especially you, which is why you won't find me commenting on any of your stupid posts, and especially this one. Not only do I know you're the real loser, I don't even have to tell you about it. Nothing you say even phases me. I am so far above worrying about anything you think about me I don't even know you exist. So there. Pop that pill in you're drink the next time you're in a bar.

with exceptions (watching football/Nascar/whatever, going out with a group of coworkers, etc.),

Or, to put it an easier way - someone whose social life consists entirely of going out and getting drunk 2 or 3 nights of the week at a bar - maybe "loser" is too strong of a word, but it's close enough.

You got it. A place where trouble happens and the drinks are massively more expensive than you can make for yourself. People are lonely and needy because they don't have the only friend that matters. Bars are the culturally accepted delusional substitute for old fashioned rootedness and belonging.

I get all that social crap and excitement at church handling rattlers and here, of course.

Every week---yeah, that means you are looking at the meat market or have no life.

That's something most people grow out of by 25 at latest. Once in a while is fine, but when you get older and you say stuff like "Wow..can't wait until the weekend to get smashed!!!", people start thinking you have a problem.

BTW- everyone on Jersey Shore fits this category.


OK, totally this, then.

defining your entertainment solely as getting smashed at the bar several nights a week is loser town behavior.

I don't see how these people are losers, especially if they have the money, looks, and are enjoying themselves and getting tail.

Actually, this thread really shows who the real losers are.

And just how, my dear friend, does not playing English darts in Church going to accomplish this?

Did you forget you have to have some depth to really see things?

+2. Because a bunch of adults getting validation from other adults on a message board are clearly pinnacles of cool.

OP, not directed towards you specifically.

Depends what kind of bar we are talking about.

Some bars I go to, anyone under 30 would be out of place.

Some of the old college bars I went to, might as well be on a different planet. Drunken kids, watered down natty light flowing heavily into plastic cups, loud freak-dance music, every dude just looking for his next hookup.

Sorry Moonbeam, but that makes you the loser. There's nothing wrong with people enjoying themselves in a social setting. It could be a nightclub, a pub, a sports bar, or a book club.

The only reason why I would think a person is a loser is when they try to act outside of their age.

what moonbeam said. it simply shows you are a one-dimensional peon that literally knows shit about living, if the only thing you consider doing during your off time is getting plowed at a club.

that is not life, dingleberry.

How about MYOGDB (My Your Own God Damm Business)?

If people are having fun, not behaving like an a**, and not bother you or anyone else, why should you care?

Did we have a similar thread recently? Look like there are a few nosy busybodies out there.
