A lads night out - limiting stress

[unperson]

Yes, my little witticism made sense prior to your edit.

As a passing AJ reference...

Oh well

Lol, it was a small witticism, lil obscure.

I made the broad sweeping generalisation, aren't they all gay these days, or something like that, but edited it on reflection.

I don’t have coordination issues and am a good dancer and like to dance. I liked going to clubs and so on, even if I couldn’t talk to females at the time.

But even with other issues it wasn’t like it was even possible to avoid the interest in guys going out together at large university. When guys went out, even if they were nerds, they talked about women and bonded and then were closer later

I don't like socialising in groups and I absolutely hate it when men try to "bond" by making dirty comments about women or boasting about (mostly imaginary) sexual conquests. I equally hated it in my youth, not to mention when they start complaining about their girlfriends or wives, it's boring as hell and petty. Same goes for binge-drinking and any type of pissing contests.

I like spending the occasional evening with some of my close male friends, preferably one on one, with a good drink in the type of quiet place conducive to quality conversation

I think women bond in sort of the same way

I was part of a "lad's night out" about a year ago and although the guys were all nice (other dads from a school group) and
I'd met them once before at a BBQ, I honestly didn't enjoy myself. We met at a very loud busy restaurant and then met up again to see a super heroes movie that I wasn't familiar
with. Like any social interaction, it wasn't energizing for me, it was draining.

Some people I have heard say that the majority of aspies are strongly into superheroes Sci fi or are good at maths

I enjoy doing a set thing or set conversation for example, a game of pool or a set conversation about music, where conversation won't drift off. I was diagnosed for aspergers aged 29. So before I found working studying very hard, daunting and difficult in a room with a large number of people for example

In the cities and towns in Scotland where I live/visit/hear about, I see or hear about large numbers of people on nights out, even on weekdays, where are they getting the money I wonder, what with the cost of living crisis in the uk
