Does anyone else find Friday nights draining?

[Jake_Gyllenhaal69]

It’s not just you. When I was living with my friends, we agreed to never go out on friday nights because they never ended well for us at all.

Go out on Sundays to places where it will be less crowded.

The less crowded and chill the better. Nothing like being at a coffee shop or diner knowing your one of the few there.

Get a motor scooter or bicycle and cruise to get some sunshine. It’s summer after all, enjoy it while you can.

Same here man. Unfortunately here in Miami, one of the best bars for game is full on Fridays but relatively dead on Saturdays.

It probably feels draining because you go out without really wanting to go out.The number one reason everyone should have for going out is to have a good time, and it goes without saying that that’s impossible if you don’t want to go out in the first place.

There are too many people going out on Fridays and Saturdays simply to fulfill the vague social expectation that you should be out on those nights,which is an erroneous way of thinking.

You go out because you want to have fun, and if you don’t want to go out,well then don’t go out.Don’t force life to happen.Stay in for the night.There’s nothing wrong with that.

The other week I went out on Thursday,Friday,Saturday and Sunday,but I’ve stayed in this weekend. I just didn’t feel like it,I still feel partied out from last week.

If you only go out when you want to,with the first priority being a good time,then it’ll never be a wasted night. It’s wise to adopt the same mindset when it comes to dates.

Ideal for feeling the wind on your vagina lips.

Motorbike or GTFO

This so much lol. You can easily tell the people that are out because they generally want to have fun and the others that are just out because of peer pressure or NPC programming lol.

Have you thought about switching venues? Why do something if it is miserable?

This confuses me so much...I start to realize this "need" for going out and "connect" is more an unhealthy obsession. This "connecting" is just not right. It's boring af and it drains me. I much prefer being alone and I start to realize that this is healthier for a man than turning his p€nis inside out and spend a night out pretending to be a woman; just sitting around, talking, but doing nothing.
Sometimes I want to party, but that's more if I have big excessive energy or if I'm excited about a specific band or the party itself

I think enery level is key here.
If you want to go up into the high mountains, you need to bring oxygen with you. The higher you get, the more you need to rely on the brought oxygen. If your oxygen is depleted and you are still up there, you will suffer health damage. If you can't make it back in time, you'll die.
It's the same for going from men's world into the feminized world of both sexes. Oxygen is energy, health damage is unhappiness and depression, and death is suicide.

I never came home from a party feeling more energized, joyful yes, but not energized.

Fridays were good, I worked in the city so it was
easier to stay out and use Saturday to recover, or sometimes go out both days.

If you fee drained on Friday get a better job/diet/exercise routine/drink more water.

I can’t lie, being drained on a Friday is a big you problem and this thread is draining.

 

[RangerMIke]

Not really. I just don't go out on weekend evenings unless there is something going on that I really want to do. Right now, post Covid shutdown, people are going out like they have been in a cage. It's just too much... everything is packed, and just about any place you go... the placed are grossly understaffed, and what staff is there are untrained and to be honest are just terrible and customer service is horrible.... everyone is drinking too much.

I spend Friday nights at home and relax from a long work week... I'm too old to be going out an party like I did in my 20s to early 40s. I try to make day dates on Saturday and Sunday, if I'm up past 10pm the next day I feel like garbage. You young guys will not understand this until you hit your 50s.

god this so much

 

[Thewolfquest]

Not sure what it is but I have always found Friday nights to be super draining when going out. When I go out on Fridays after a long week at work, I feel tired and odd. Somehow, on Saturdays, I do not feel this way at all and feel like I can do nightgame a whole lot better. Then again, like @LARaiders85 I have been in a toxic work environment for a while so Friday feels like shedding skin for me. I feel like I am at 60% of my real potential.

Anyone else? Anyone have a different opinion?

Take a post work nap?

Yeah, this is a big problem, same in a night club environment. Many would rather not be there / are hoping a woman notices them and swoops in. They stand around and with each passing moment become more and more dejected when nothing happens. It does work against them - women pay attention to this kind of stuff - is the guy looking like he has fun, is walking around with his shoulders back head held high or is slumped over looking defeated. All this effects a man's approachability. You have to be of the attitude that you don't give a sh*t either way.

 

[EyeBRollin]

I’ve always been of the opinion if you have energy to go out late on Friday you didn’t work that hard during the week. My two cents.

I never scheduled dates on Fridays. Rarely ever went out. In NYC we had day parties on Saturday & Sunday’s. Usually 3-10 pm. Much better vibe.

 

[Mike32ct]

I hate the idea of going somewhere directly after work. After a long day, I would prefer to nap for at least an hour before going out.

A coworker chick invited me out to dinner this past Friday (after work) and wanted to meet at 5:30 pm. I ended up going, but it was pretty rough because I started my day at 2:30 am. Was ready to fall asleep on my diner plate lol.

If you must go out on a weekend, Friday is the worst for that reason. You are likely more rested before going out on a Saturday or even Sunday night. Friday traffic sucks too.

Speaking my language here, it was actually easier to go out on a Thursday night than a Friday night in NYC!

Accurate. The after work scene in NYC was great.

I personally felt and still feel that the bar/nightclub game is totally rigged against men, which I'll get into below.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that many very popular nightlife venues will use social media and post tons of pictures of hot/attractive women that are there having a good time. This could be either the staff working there or just patrons, whom I'm sure get some sort of benefit if they are willing to have their photos posted online (free drink, entrance, etc.).

I've dated two girls that never had to pay for drinks at a few of the bars they frequented. Their drinks were on the house. One was a promo model, the other a pharmaceutical sales rep. Both solid 8's in their early 30's. But if I was with either one the bar would charge, so I made sure to hang back and have her get my drinks.

The whole purpose was to get these girls into the bar, because they know guys go to bars that hot girls frequent!
