I'm really getting into going out by myself these days.
Pros:
- Don't have to worry about 'rounding the guys up', or getting everyone to agree to go to the same place, or last minute cancellations, or any of the other bullshit that goes with groupthink.
- For similar reasons, I started going out to see films by myself a little while back. Got tired of 'negotiating' which film to see, having to do it on a night that is convenient for the other person, cancellations at the last minute, etc. The people in my life are fairly accommodating - they wouldn't be in my life if they weren't - but the above can still come into play for legitimite reasons, and it's a pain in the ass regardless. Plus, I just got fed up of people talking to me during key parts of dialog. It seems that people's insecurities and inability to be comfortable in themselves prevents them from shutting the fuck up, and this can make them burdensome (turn this around, and it will make sense why women treat 'symps' the way they do.....)
- Women seem to jock far more when I am alone. Ask yourself: would someone who is confident enough to relax by themselves in a social environment be attractive? Also:
when i go out with friends i feel like they drag me in their weak behaviors like oh my god check out this girl.
In this case, ask yourself if you are being dragged into their weak behaviours, or if you are simply perceiving that you are being dragged into their weak behaviours......
- If you're having a good time, you don't have to cut it short because the others want to go somewhere else, or are too restless to stay in the same place for too long. Side note: somewhere along the way, people seem to have gotten the idea that it is cool & attractive to be a 'rolling stone that gathers no moss'; while I am obviously all for independence, these types of flaky people make me realise that 'living for the moment' is not the same as 'living IN the moment'. Think about that one......
Cons:
