At what age did you stop going out to bars?
Over the years, I went to bars all the time around 2016 when I had just turned 21, and then in 2019 just before the pandemic, it was getting less and less often.
Even after the pandemic, say around late 2022, I was going out with the bars on occasion but more so for personal food eatings and not social outings like in the years prior.
Now I go to a bar maybe about 3-4 times a year, which is about once every 3 or 4 months.
If I go to a bar now, there better be a good food special and I would be there with say a friend or somebody to play pool with.
When I went out the nightclubs when I was younger, I was more scared of cute girls than they were of me, and I only like going when people who went to these places actually knew who I was and could have pleasant or casual conversation with me, but I also understand the situation was a bit different because they would also have people that were hitting on them and they would have no idea about the other issues I have, nor would have any reason to care.
If you fast forward 8-10 years later, most of those people are now married with Children, maybe the person they had their child with was somebody they met on the night I saw them, you never know.
