AI Thread Summary

Many participants express a decline in their enthusiasm for traditional partying, often attributing it to increased academic pressures, age, and personal preferences. Some find that occasional outings are necessary for a change of pace from their studies, while others prefer quieter social gatherings over loud parties. Financial constraints also play a role, with some individuals unable to afford frequent outings. The conversation highlights a shift from typical partying to more intimate gatherings, such as BBQs or casual meet-ups, reflecting a desire for meaningful connections rather than just socializing for the sake of it.

Actually, Evo saved my day, since the number of votes for the "Never" option seems to be increasing rapidly. And I thought I was a weirdo because I don't go out all the time. :rolleyes:

Whoa! I rarely ever, well never, buy drinks for the ladies. If she was a date, then maybe one or two.

I never bought a random girl I met at a bar a drink.

Oh she offered to pay, don't worry. She got the cab rides last time and I told her she could get it this time, but we actually just ended up walking (stumbling) home together. It was actually very nice.

But if she offers, why not just let her pay? Otherwise, she shouldn't offer.

Meh, it wasn't a big deal and it's not like I pay for everything. Sometimes she'll pick up the tab, other times me. That particular case I just payed the tab while she was in the washroom before we left. She asked how much she owed me and I not to worry about it. I didn't really feel like doing a financial breakdown of who owed what at 3am, you know? :smile:
