Then that's your prerogative. I live in NYC, and I rarely spend anything close to a hundred dollars going out. And the few times where I did spend a few extra dollars, it was a special occasions like birthdays, New Years, etc.
thats great. But in the context of the article thats what "going out" means. It means those nights out that cost a bit more than the usual fare. If someone asks me if I went out last night I'd say no, because all I did was go to a local Mexican restaurant and spent 20 bucks on dinner and a couple happy hour margaritas while I watched the end of the shytty late NBA games. that's not "going out" in my eyes even though I was literally out of the house

These dudes should just say they're introverts and kim:yeshrug:,



The excuses I'm reading as to why they can't go out have me :mjlol:



Apparently you have to spend 200+ when you go out :russ:


Believe it or not you can find life fulfillment out of what society tells you is fulfiling.

There's nothing fulfiling about clubbing whatosever, in my eyes.



You sound like a sheep. Follow the herd ass mindless motherfukker.

We have different ideas of what going out means.

You don't have to spend a crazy amount of money "going out".

The excuses I've seen people use is that they 1) don't have the money or 2) getting things at home is convenient (which I believe is pure laziness).

I'm an introvert now, I wasn't as much so. Then at some point in my mid/late 20's the game shifted to fun being, drugs, alcohol and women. Like if one of those things weren't involved people weren't having fun. And I'm def a introvert now.


Fortunately I had a "nerd" circle by then so it was all good.


But going out with some of the people outside that circle.....yeah no.


Part of it to was I wasn't amused by drunk, high or half naked chicks like at all anymore. When your not trying to bring a chick home to smash going out becomes....different.


I really just started to enjoy going out with family here and there.

Its a variety of reasons why young folks don't go out like in the past. It varies from person and the day.

First is money and inflation. Yes money is an issue because nowadays folks are more bougie and want to live life like the reality shows (Love and Hip Hop, Real Housewives, etc.). Women want to glam up and get with their girls and be on their phones taking pics and stuntin for social media. They want to be the Karlie Red's, Mimi's, Cardi B;s, Yancy;s, Tammy's, Jessica Dime Piece's, Joceline's, Rasheeda's, Princess, Miss Nicki Baby, etc. It costs money to live like that and sustain that lifestyle unless they have a simp, trick or sponsor and a lot of black men not making high money like that. Then clubs have cover charges, charge the hell out of u if u want to turn up and drink, and the food. Drinks be like $10-12+ at some spots and half the time most are very mediocre to poorly made and mixed or watered down. Then most folks nowadays want to stunt with a nice outfit. U know niqqaz and chicks wanna be fresh. Women may want a fresh weave or hairstyle for going out and niqqaz need that sharp line up and fresh cut...unless u wanna go out like a rugged savage...which could work for some. Then some folks cant manage their drinking, spending, and shopping habits so they tend to overspend after the weekend is over. Inflation makes it hard to have sufficient disposable income to actually enjoy urself the way u want to. A lot in this country don't have $1K in the account for emergency. Hell, a lot don't have $500 and live paycheck by paycheck.

Next is how the game has changed. Back in the day...men were more alpha male like or at least assertive and women were more receptive and made it known to men they liked them. Women gave average men the time of day back in the day. Nowadays the game has changed and that's due to reasons like social media. U have lower tier women gassed the fuk up thanks to simps and top tier men giving them the time of day. So u got ur lower tier women wanting the top 20%...u know the 20/80 concept that's been discussed on this site before. Some men may not feel its worth it getting rejected by basic/avg to low tier women.

Then u factor in social media. It results in folks being less prone to face to face interaction, younger folks lacking people skills and social understanding, and with the internet, apps and social media...people don't have to go out anymore...this includes shopping, getting food to eat, finding relationships, getting sex, etc. Why u hear the Netflix and chill, firestick and dyck, chicken wings and fries we don't go on dates, etc...Why spend the extra money when so many of us are financially strained as it is. Times changing and u have to change with them or u will be left behind.

And yes there are many of other activities u can engage in besides clubbing and going to bars/lounges for drinks...but those other activities like going to movies, amusement parks, comedy shows, museums, out to eat, skydiving, skiing, jet skiing, bowling, going to watch sports live, haunted houses, traveling, casinos, etc. cost money. Even when u host folks over ur crib to watch a game or play cards....u gotta buy food and alcohol. It costs money to have fun unless u do free shyt like walk in the park. Money is the biggest issue I think.

Peeping what type of game?

nikka just admit u not a people person and prefer to be at home chillin or at a kick back with a few close friends :heh:

Its nothing wrong with that. Just dont try to look down on people that like the bar/club/party scene

It's all making sense why their are so many miserable people on this site.

Everywhere you go, millennials are pushing the boundaries of convention and defying the rules: Almost getting people elected, riding "hoverboards" that are actually basically just Segways, writing self-congratulatory thinkpieces about ourselves. It's a busy world out there, and millennials are taking charge. For instance, this is the first generation ever to admit that going out actually sucks.

"They're the greatest generation—of couch potatoes," is how the New York Post, in one of the most amazing articles ever written, describes millennials. The case against us? We're streaming more television and spending more time on our phones than Gen X, declining to socialize in person, and maybe most damning of all, "More young people are choosing to spend a quiet evening at home." We're not even cool enough to get drunk: "A 2016 survey by Heineken found that when millennials do bother to venture outside, 75 percent drink in moderation."


The Post suggests a few reasons for millennials' lameness, including a quote from a neurologist who says that cases of exhaustion among young people are on the rise and a note that going out, especially in big cities like New York, is expensive. But even those of us who aren't perpetually broke and tired are still not embracing traditional methods of socializing, like sitting in a dark bar doing shots until something happens. This has something to do with social media, maybe? Oh, and dating! Whatever happened to dating, right?

The bold is the real issue. People lack social skills. I made a whole thread about this.

Also, I hope you all know that millennials are ages 20-37 this year,so this includes y'all. Idk what the generation under us is called, but I think they will have poor social skills as well.
