Poll: Alone or as group?

[Flames66]

Going out along is hurting. I don't know where you live, but in the city if you don't have at least like 4 girls with you getting is going to need a cover fee, a good fake, and actually buying drinks.

A good fake?

A uhh.... passport picture... catch my drift?

Oh I see. I don't need one you see.

I never liked clubbing myself. Playing music I don't particularly like far too loud and spending all my money isn't in my evening plans.

I usually go out by myself and if it's a good night whereever I happen to be I'll call up some buddies but otherwise I can have a great time on my own. I also live in the backwoods and the closest thing I have to a city is more than fifty miles away.
Thankfully there are some smaller nights in my area that happen to be quite awesome.

The thing is, if i meet up with a group of people i know (i rarely, if ever set out with them, we just meet up there) most of the time after a while someone will wander off to do his own thing (mostly involving ladies). Sometimes he returns, sometimes not. And then another will do the same, and so on.
So, in the end, even if you go with others there is a fair chance that you will end up alone, even if just for some time.

True, but that's not something you can control. To meet them there, you can.
I rather take my chances with a quick fun chat than staying alone all night. Sometimes the quick time you pass with'em might worth the whole night.
I probably wouldn't stay there anymore if they left. But I would enjoy the moment once we're toguether.

Right, so i'm back. A bit drunk but i can sit and type (somewhat).

This surprises me, the notion of danger when going out alone never even occured to me. And it's not that i live in "Happy-rainbow-weallloveeachother-city", such things do happen. But for this is nothing i would ever worry about. Call ignorance but i don't like my mind being blocked by fears of something that might happen at some point maybe if i'm really unlucky...

So what i want to know here is, is going out/partying a group activity by default, is going alone strange?
Let me hear about your expiriences and preferences.

I love to go clubbing, but I wouldn't want to go alone. What if I don't know anyone at the club? That would just be weird.

I prefer to go out in a group. ^^

And since we have a lady here i got to expand on this. Is danger something you put into consideration when going out. Or, asked differently since you say you don't usually go alone:
If you would think about going to the club alone tonight (for whatever reason), would the dangers that come with it (and i ask you as a girl since there a handful of extra dangers for you) have an impact on your decision to go or not?

That comes fairly close to my expiriences. Sure, there are boring nights out but generally, i have my fun.

There is another thing i just noticed. Quite a few people seem to make the decision depending on what they plan for the night.
So, how does that work? Alone for picking up girls? As group for getting drunk? The other way around?

Well, the clubs I usually go to aren't what I'd call dangerous. One's a gay club, and everyone there is very friendly. Very. Friendly. ^^ That's the club where a random woman came up, made out with me, then made out with my spouse, then wandered off. I have no idea what was going on, but I was just glad to be a part of the process.

Sorry, got off topic there. Um. Yeah, I don't think I'd feel comfortable going out to a club by myself. Even the fun gay club. Because, even if I was safe in the club, I'd have to back and forth from my car. I live in a city, so... not safe, even if it's a fairly safe city. Particularly not if I was drunk.
