I spent most of my 20s in nightclubs. As a patron, bartender, and manager.

There's no fucking way you'll ever catch me in one ever again.

They're just the modern way to monetize the mating ritual, taken to an absolutely ridiculous extreme. It's pretty fuckin disgusting.

I had a similar arc. Learned the hard way: meet someone at a club and now you're with someone that likes going to clubs.

Meanwhile, some of the people you meet there are alright. But most of the people that you'd get along with are probably at home. And most of the club patrons are, well, people who like going to clubs.
