fabulous_chk Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I know we have different coping skills but I want to read about your partying exploits when weekends come (the toughest days of the week for us recently SINGLE people). I've been partying non-stop since I got my freedom back. I have 4 years of catching up to do. I've been clubbing locally for 7 weeks and in the last week has gone out of my area to Newark and Philly. Philly was awesome OMG. I've resisted my ex a hundred times whenever he asked me to go there for clubbing, and laughed at him when he discussed us buying property in Philly. I was dissing the place without checking it out. I was so wrong. I fell in love with the vibrant atmosphere (reminded me of Manila) and the way you walk in and out of 10 clubs within 2 hours! I cannot wait to go back. My biggest regret is not having this kind of fun with him - I knew he loved the area but I was an ********* for always rejecting him. But anyways I'm having fun living the life he wanted me to live. Sad and ironic but there it is. So guys, where do you party and how?
NJAries Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I'll be going to the Rutgers area tonite. I'm college age (24), so there's always an opportunity to meet someone new there. Plus it's just a good time. You can also walk in and out of 10 clubs/bars within a few hours. Pretty cool place to meet people my age there. I'm going with a couple and some single guy friends. Should be a blast, as I always have fun no matter where I go. I know what you mean about wishing you could've done certain things with the ex though. My ex was under the legal drinking age (I know, I'm a cradle robber, hehe:confused:) and I never got to go out bar hopping and so forth with her. I always wished she would've stuck around longer so we could've experienced those things, but it wasn't my decision to make. I now get to enjoy these experiences with more mature girls that are actually old enough to drink . Anyway time to start hittin the tequila as it's pregame time!! -Aries
somedude81 Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Just finished my first year of college and never went to a single party How the hell do you hear about those things?
NJAries Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Just finished my first year of college and never went to a single party How the hell do you hear about those things? That's insane. Even before I started college I was going to parties at Rutgers. I usually get invited through friends of friends. Just gotta be social and chat it up. Everyone knows someone who knows of a party somewhere.
now_what Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Boy, do I feel old. I haven't really "partied" or gone clubbing since 1978. My husband left me and divorced me after 30 years of marriage (I'm 50) and I just wouldn't know where to begin if I did want to party lol. I have my granddaughter over and we're making things out of playdough, does that count?
era Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I have my granddaughter over and we're making things out of playdough, does that count? It counts for a lot.. Just reading this post about partying makes me feel exhausted...

Saturdays I usually hang out at V-lounge (the owner knows us already). We also hang out at Hotoke and Perle and wherever my best friend could drag me to. I met a lot of cool people - you get to meet students/former students of Rutgers plus you have the medical crowd from RWJUH and SPUH. It's awesome just to drink and dance and flirt:love: I hope you're having fun. I'm home because I still have blisters on my feet walking from club to club in Philly with high heels on. Otherwise I'd be out dancing right now. sigh.

I have my granddaughter over and we're making things out of playdough, does that count? I went to a salsa club last night and there were plenty of 50+ people dancing and having fun. My former co-worker is 51 and loves parties - she goes to jazz clubs and she gets excited over any opportunity to dress up. She can definitely out-party me (I'm 27). I guess for me this is my outlet. Dancing is very therapeutic and alcohol makes everybody gorgeous in my eyes lol!
now_what Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I guess I'm a bit of a homebody, usually if I do things it involves my kids or family. But now that I am single and my only child at home is 16 and is starting to go out with her friends, I may explore some new opportunities for fun in the future - but I'm in no hurry at the moment.

Believe it or not I'm a homebody as well - which contributed to the break-up with the ex - he parties hard. Complete opposites haha. I discovered that I love partying right after he dumped me sigh. You could take up ballroom dancing lessons...great exercise and great way to socialize.
DJMarky Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I never stopped partying, even after I graduated university. I still go out twice a week and something amusing always happens, or something not so amusing, like the last 21st I went to my friends lost me then found me outside in the bushes sleeping. Recently though I have started up a bad habit from university where I would smoke a lot (not cigs) before I went out. I am rendering myself pretty useless by the time I get anywhere, depending on the amount i choose to smoke. I am going to change my lifestyle, I really got to work on moderation.
blowingthetrout Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 party people say "heil!!" I'm in a lil Sin City Ohio town by the lake if you catch me and We have some great gay clubs here if you know where to look we also are lacking the not so flaming queens I love from the bigger city's but this town has the occasional fetish ball to strut my stuff. when I went to cope from my BF's BS I kinda went off the deep end my fabulous friend. with both feet and I totally recommend that way or the hi-way
Nikki Sahagin Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 I'm a homebody too.... Clubbing/partying has only depressed me since the break up; tonnes of sleazy guys and attention-seeking girls - just reminding me that if he's in a club he'll be taking in all the eye candy... I'm going to bars/pubs/restaurants/house parties etc rather than clubs.

Half of the fun is the dressing up part - my best friend is my stylist and we make sure we are the hottest girls when we walk in the club. This has helped me a lot since I'm kind of shy - right after the break-up I've started opening up to people - kissed a few, received lap dances all for fun. Great alternative to sitting at home and moping over a broken heart.
Author fabulous_chk Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 My partying started Thursday night! Went to a stripclub with friends at Philly, spent the night there in drunken debauchery, went to a spa at NYC and did the karaoke thing...........and it's Saturday today wooo-hooo! Gotta love being single. The best times of my life.:love:

Gotta love being single. The best times of my life.:love: It's great hey! I left my ex ex because of this exact reasoning. Though, to be honest when I was with my ex I would rather be with her than being single and going out, which is probably why this break up affected me so much. This weekend has been pretty sweet, both late nights on Friday and Saturday (~5am). Last night I just got high then rocked up at this girl's place who I met a few weeks back at a party, drank beer and watched movies. Next weekend there is a huge gig, with heaps of my mates going. Now that will be an epic night, though I am sure I won't be in the mind frame to talk to girls as I may be too busy dancing like a retard.
