I'd Rather Stay Home Alone Than Going Out

I don't understand the general idea of going out. Or maybe it's some people who don't understand that going out is not for everyone and it's not a crucial element of a human's life. I've actually been kind of socially "bullied" about not being very outgoing. I admit it- I always spend the best quality time with myself, I value reading, chatting, watching movies, writing, or even playing video games much more than spending time in loud places full of smoke, where you abuse both your liver and wallet at the same time. I don't believe that pubs and such are a good place to meet new people- no, I don't think it's impossible to meet someone valuable there, but absolutely nothing in the Universe is impossible, some things are just extremely unlikely, as the physicists say. :) I'm also annoyed when people suggest that single folks should hang out in bars, pubs in clubs in order to find their significant others! I just can't understand:
a) since when is dating more deadly serious regular hunting? It's like the hunter hanging out in the animal's natural habitat trying to spot it and... well, kill it.
b) how on Earth a dude who spends his time and money in a pub, doing pretty much nothing, and waiting for pretty much nothing more than a liver failure, could be my Mr. Right?! I'd rather stay single.

Keep calm and be completely unsociable. <3

I'm the same. I have a couple of friends who it seems that if they don't go out to the clubs or get wasted almost every weekend then their weekend was a big waste. But after a few years of dealing with the constant "omg girl how are you gonna meet someone if you don't go out?!" or "seriously??? You're just gonna stay home again??" I just gave up and accepted the fact that I'm just not a party animal. I've also learned that the people who criticize you for the way you enjoy your free time are usually not the ones who stick around as a close friend. My closest and good friends know not to get me involved in plans that deal with clubbing and they'll mention it to me but never force it upon me to join.
