Can you function as a young adult without nightlife?

[starfishandcoffee]

I've noticed recently I enjoy getting up at ungodly early hours. Rising at, say, five in the morning and getting everything on my to-do list done well before noon gives me an immense feeling of satisfaction. I've always liked being productive.

However, it seems that this is an alien concept to anyone under 25. Is cutting nightgame and college parties out of my life going to be a bad thing for me?

who cares what people think. i've never liked going out clubbing or any of that partying stuff. i go out during the day mostly, hang out in the city and all that. watch movies, play games. the only time i go out at night is with my new gf. and thats to dinner or movies etc.

LoneWolf is right on this one. Your a man. You have your own standards, and your not crossing em for anyone. Don't let others, especially women, break you of your good habits.

Many don't do what you do because they don't have the discipline to do so. Keep up your habits and you'll attract the right women soon enough.

Yes, I have only went to a handful of college "parties" in my five years of college. I go mainly to friends get-togethers and that is very few-and-far between. most of the stuff i do is during the day.

The only reason i stay up late is to workout and even that I can do in the morning. It doesn't hurt you at all.

Be prepared though for people to bust your balls. Other than that, once everyone gets used to you going to bed early they won't bother you.

I dont want to offend anyone here but i thought i was on loveshack or enotalone reading the responses on this thread. Most here sounded like women when replying to the OP.

Any young guy 21-25 who isnt interested not even a bit in night life is because

1. loner(lack or friends-non existen social circle)
2.Religion(which i dont think is the case with the OP.
3. Socially inept.

OP you can start by having Dinne on to

I'm not saying you pick one night and get wasted at your nearest club. But you have to get your feet wet.

Sooner or later you will be invited to companys christmas parties and guess what those usually take place at night.

Also if you taking a girl out and hoping to sex her then no amount of park picnics or lunch dates will male that happen.

Personally, I get through my weeks knowing once the weekend comes I can enjoy the nightlife. I literally crave going out at night.

But I know that isn't the case for everyone, and don't expect it to be. In fact, when I was in my LTR, I was much more like you are now. Being single has really changed things for me. But, I still generally wake up by 8 or 9 on weekends.

I have a friend (with no job) that sometimes wakes up at 6pm. It blows my mind. Personally, I think it's kinda pathetic. He was over one Sunday watching a game, and I asked where he had been. He looked at me as if I was crazy and said "home, why?". I told him this other friend and I were trying to get a hold of him. It turns out, he slept from the time we got home from the bar Saturday Morning (4am) until Sunday morning (9am). He LITERALLY slept through Saturday... 29 hours.

Don't worry dude, you are just fine lol

Ever since I became a teenager, I've been in love with nightlife. I was addicted when I first came to college, because I never got to really go out in High School and even though I still love it...it's whatever.

OP, just do what suits you. It's not mandatory to enjoy nightlife. Who cares what others have to say about it.

Man I feel you! I used to be a night guy too but now I'm a day guy. I just LOVE the day and waking up early! It feels so much better. I say forget the nightlife/night game and go for day game. SO much good stuff in the day!

Hey dude, personally I love going out at night and I HATE waking up early in the morning haha! But hey, do what you want man. It's just as easy to meet girls in the day as it is at night. There's some kind of social construct in our society which makes us perceive that it's more acceptable to initiate conversation with people you don't know at a bar or club rather than just running errands. I really don't buy into that sorta thing. You can meet people anywhere and anytime. Shopping centers, malls, bookstores, coffee shops, etc.. are perfect locations. Then once the weather gets a little bit better hit up the beaches, parks, anywhere outdoors really. Perfect places to meet great girls, and more than likely you'd have a lot more in common with them than girls that go for the nightlife path.

It's not that I don't like partying, I just like accomplishing **** more. that's what people don't get. You have to chose and you have to balance it out. today and tomororw i will go to bed about 1am (That' extremely late for me). sunday - Thursday I will go to bed about 9:30-10:30. we will go out for dinner and a go bowling. tomorrow the final four and we are going to a movie.

for me to be up past 1am either my son woke me up or I am getting the ******* of a lifetime. for me nto go to bed later than 1am, that means i am going to get up past 8am, **** that. if i'm not "hip' becuase of that **** being hip.

when I am working if I am not up by at the latest 7am, i don't ev en bother with the day and i'm dead serious. i'm playing catchup all day long and i am going to feel like ****. i would rather not do alot, and get to bed early to make sure i get up at 4-5am.

I am reminded of an Anti-Dump post.

He said there is no point in ever changing yourself. First, you change yourself as best as you can, whether its your clothes, style, better career and improved life overall. Then there is a time where you stop trying to change yourself and just accept what is.

You BUY relationships or any kind and you don't build it. This building process is not what true Don Juan's know.

What does this imply in terms of clubbing and nightlife?

Why not have the best and effortless life? Much less nightlife?

You can have it, and anyone who doesn't fit into your image just lose them. Don't waste your time and protect your heart.

Really inspirational stuff but Anti-Dump, along with Pook's insights.
