Where do you hang out?

SkentyDooBabble · 2016-10-05T17:51:35+00:00

Craft beer shops. Dive bars.

Home, friends' houses

Trails, mountains, beaches, rivers, lakes.

Festivals.

philomexa · 2016-10-05T19:05:16+00:00

I'm married and have a toddler, so anything and everything geared towards children and families, such as:

the zoo
the park
children's play museums
indoor play gyms
Now that its fall, various pumpkin patches, apple orchards, or harvest festivals
grandma 1 or grandma 2's house

These are weekend activities, during the week we stay in but if lil man is particularly bouncy we might take a walk in the neighborhood before or after dinner.

I've voluntarily given up an adult social life for the next 5 years. I'm ok with it, however my husband is much more social so weekend nights (and some week nights) he might go to the local bar or drink and game with the neighbors.

On a typical Sunday afternoon I'll either be at the zoo/park or a children's museum/indoor gym. (since the weather is getting a bit sketchy). On a Friday night I'm at home, just hanging out with lil man (husband may or may not be at the bar). Monday evening is 'family time' wherein we eat dinner and watch WWE RAW.

ETA: purple, ridiculously submissive and domesticated despite fancy pants career.

ETA2: I used to have a mommy friend I'd hang out with (her kiddo is 3 weeks younger than mine), but she and her husband are 'temporarily embarrassed' thousandaires who had to sell their McMansion at a loss and are currently living in her mother's condo. Since all of this went down (around mid summer) they've been avoiding us out of embarrassment. I don't particularly care, but it sucks that I've lost my only mommy friend to bougie-shame.

SipsSparklingWater · 2016-10-05T17:37:28+00:00

Bars(gay ones as of recent), coffee/bookstores, mini golfing is fun, skating rink, church and malls.

TW_CountryMusic · 2016-10-05T17:39:05+00:00

I'm at home the vast majority of the time. Home is my favorite place to be.

If I'm not at home, I'm usually hanging out with a small group of friends at someone's house/apartment, playing board games, watching movies or cooking a meal together.

On the rare occasions I do go out, it's usually to do something nature-y like kayak or hike. I also like to just go downtown or to a different neighborhood and walk around. My city has a really nice boardwalk around a lake that's nice for evening walks.

I don't go to bars often, but when I do it's a laid-back type of place with an outdoor patio.

I also like live music (mostly country/bluegrass/folk), and go out to shows a couple times a month. And once in a blue moon I like to go two-stepping. (I did this a lot more frequently in college.)

OH, and the library. I fucking LOVE libraries; I go at least once a week.

BluePiller1776 · 2016-10-05T17:36:09+00:00

My frat house

Concerts

Local bars

Friends houses

Most days I just stay in and play video games though

cats_or_get_out · Wed Oct 5 18:58:28 2016 UTC

Running trails or roads (lots of group runs and solo runs), libraries, on my couch reading

I prefer to stay away from loud, crowded places full of the many too many. I'll enjoy a bar if it's quiet and gentlemanly--no TVs or blasting music. My dream bar would be like the Diogenes Club. For the uninitiated:

"There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubbable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offenses, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere."

sen--sen · 2016-10-05T17:40:24+00:00

assuming there's nothing special going on...

Where are you found on a Sunday afternoon

at home, doing laundry, or drawing/watching TV in between loads of laundry.

a Friday night

at dinner with my husband, maybe doing a little bit of shopping after at the beauty store or electronics store (depending), then home, probably playing WoW together or catching up on TV.

Monday evening?

depending on how the day has gone... it can range from relaxing at home to hiding under the covers. mondays, eh?

it's fascinating, i know. i go to the gym every day after work, and i'm probably more likely to do my 'hanging out' on saturdays, and it's usually during daytime to early evening; in that case, i usually end up at a local coffeeshop or bookstore with my husband, or occasionally at a restaurant for drinks. non-red pill.

SmurfESmurferson · 2016-10-05T17:48:33+00:00

Purple pill

A Sunday afternoon? During Fall, at football Sunday's at my local dive sports bar. Outside of Fall, either at brunch or at home binge watching TV

A Friday night? Happy hour at a local bar or dinner out.

Monday evening? Home, cooking and doing laundry.

ShortThrowaway2k16 · 2016-10-05T17:54:59+00:00

Home, classes, gym library, yoga lessons, dance lessons, parties, in that order.

GuitarsAreGettingOld · 2016-10-05T17:58:10+00:00

Bars.

shoup88 · 2016-10-05T18:09:59+00:00

During the week I'm either at home, my parents, at the movies, local restaurants or coffee shops.

Weekends I go to local dive bars, friends' houses, concerts, social (community fundraisers), festivals, etc. I usually only have 1-2 evenings at home with no plans.

In the summer I spend a lot more time out of the city - music festivals, kayaking, road trips, cabins.

sardonis70 · 2016-10-05T18:32:59+00:00

Other than a few local bars with great beer selections, I mostly prefer to hang out at home, or at friends houses. Certainly if more than a few drinks is involved, as I'm not fond of being drunk in public.

For rest/relaxation I like camping, shooting, and fishing. Things with few people, few gadgets, and few distractions from doing nothing at all. I've also come to enjoy vacations to the beach, but I'd still choose a weekend of shooting in the woods over that most of the time. Actual vacations tend to stress me out.

ProbablyBelievesIt · 2016-10-05T19:39:24+00:00

Blue. I generally just hang out with friends at their place, or on IM, and we might do some improv theater to entertain ourselves.

If I'm alone, I'm probably in the library or a bookstore, or taking a walk, and looking for inspiration. Sometimes, I hang out in churches, despite being an atheist, just because the better ones have a decent idea of how to help out the community, and don't mind drop-ins. (It's also easier to get a good conversation going, when there's differences to explore.)

DrunkGirl69 · 2016-10-05T20:41:42+00:00

Beach, forest, library, bars

lady_baker · 2016-10-06T13:44:10+00:00

I am married with three kids, and I work (for now.) So not a lot of hanging out.

Sundays till 1pm are in church. I adore my parish. After years of bleh agnosticism, its amazing. Friday/Saturday night my husband and I will (rarely) go out, otherwise we are at home with our kids. Fun solo time for me is a long drive, train ride or walk to explore a bakery supply store, bookstore, or once a year weekend with a girlfriend.

Now that I'm post wall and marred most of my socializing takes place between 4-8 people, at people's homes, over dinner. Sometimes we'll go to sit-down venues or ball games. Hitting up 2+ bars in a night is a rarity.

Purple pill misandrist.

despisedlove2 · 2016-10-05T18:17:21+00:00

RP/PP

Monday evening: I teach an evening course at a local University after work, as a volunteer. Varies from semester to semester.

Sunday afternoon: I usually am doing laundry, and cooking up a week's worth of lunches. Old habit.

Friday night: Nighttimes are for dinner, and Friday dinner is always special.

Yangel · 2016-10-05T19:52:56+00:00

In my house.

DarkLord0chinChin · 2016-10-05T20:05:08+00:00

Reddit, DOOM, Civilization V, Insurgency, CSGO, Dota 2, Dark Souls 2 PVP

MisgenderedCactus · 2016-10-05T20:28:01+00:00

Friday night = my house or a friend's house playing boardgames and D&D

Saturday = totally up in the air, could be spending the day with my lover, with my mom, or hanging out with the crowd of my FLGS. Usually go out to dinner and movie with friends + lover.

Sunday = running around doing chores, grocery shopping, laundry...all the stuff I don't do during the week, lol.

Monday - Friday = Wake up at 5:30am, leave apartment by 6:45am at the latest, drive to work/be at work/drive home from 6:45am-7:45pm. Make dinner, feed pets, watch a little TV or read. Repeat...

Princeso_Bubblegum · 2016-10-05T20:52:37+00:00

I hang out at a gaming group about once a week with a bunch of gamers, gays, tranns, furries, wiccans, and other assorted weirdos.

stonepimpletilists · 2016-10-05T21:52:58+00:00

Fly to visit friends around the country, random vacations, park, Starbucks, work, home for relaxation, gym and a baseball game, since the stadium is next door.

If I was single? I'd be out with friends on Friday and Saturday running game as well.

Winter is usually something like training or learning, I'll hermit it up a few months or so.

madscientistlove · 2016-10-06T08:52:28+00:00

I'm at the gym most days after work, or running around my neighborhood. Or sometimes my fiance and I hit the beach after work.

Sometimes I'll go write in a cafe or go read a book in my favorite dive bar, go to lunch with my friends, or go visit my dad and help him with his projects. Once in a while I'll go out to karaoke or otherwise have a falling-down drunk night with my coworkers at the restaurant (after hours, of course).

Then there's going to friends' art openings, touring various vacant buildings scouting a place for our business, hanging out at my fiance's job, going Pokemon hunting, going to the arcade, walking around Chinatown...

You know you're an extrovert when...

darksoldierk · 2016-10-06T11:35:32+00:00

I guess I'd be Purple pill. I don't agree with BP at all, and a lot of my beliefs match those of the RP, but I am not this muscular hunk with great game. I do get nervous every time I approach a woman, and I often do stumble in conversations where I am speaking to gorgeous women. Stumble meaning that all my words will come out unintelligible. I am not ashamed to say that I do feel bad about starting anything with a woman with the end goal of just obtaining sex and running out the door, but that is the world we live in today. My stance on prostitution is that it isn't for me personally, but I guess it's an option for others. I don't believe that the goal of every woman alive is to marry a guy, divorce him and take his money. With that said, I don't see the point of commitment, and I strongly stand against marriage, mostly because as soon as a marriage occurs, the pendulum swings way too far in the woman's favor. Just her having the ability to take a portion of every asset that I've spent my life earning, a portion of every penny I earn while only allowing me to see my children once or twice a month is just too much. I'm a businessman by trade, and to me, the cost-benefit analysis shows that it isn't worth it.

On a typical Friday night, I like to be at bars or clubs downtown with friends. We mostly drink, dance, smoke, talk to each other and other people. On Saturdays and Sundays, I'm typically at a friend's house. Again, drinking, smoking, listening to music, and just doing what we can to enjoy ourselves.

On the weekdays, I have a full time job, 9-7 sitting in front of a computer type of thing. After work, my routine is to cook dinner, try to hit the gym, sit on the computer, practice guitar, and study since I am trying to complete my professional designation. I'll be at the bar across the street from my condo a few days a week for a drink and to fulfill my need for sex.

bootsandtoots · 2016-10-06T15:04:30+00:00

Home, playing vidya in my underwear or studying almost every weeknight. Weekends are spent table top gaming, at bars, concerts, fishing by my lonesome, or fobbing out, playing cards, smoking, drinking with my fellow Chinese.

I'm probably PP or unpilled

COPCO2 · 2016-10-06T15:22:15+00:00

BP'er.

I'm busy. I have two jobs and am in school.

I work my day job and try to hit our on-site gym at lunch. Weeknights I'm at home with my students (my night job is as a dorm-parent). Sometimes vendors I use at work take me out.

On the weekends I'm typically home. My wife and I used to go out and party a lot, but we're home bodies these days (unless with the students).

When going out for myself (not for work) its typically one of the following:

grab a drink with classmates after class
grab a drink after work with a friend at a bar on my way home
grab a drink with old friends on the weekend at a bar
grab a drink on Fridays after work with coworkers

I don't typically get drunk anymore.

When hanging out with the students, it's mostly these:

IM Sports
going out to eat
studying together
going to a game with the students

Coming up is homecoming weekend (tug of war contests and whatnot), apple picking, volunteering events, etc.

When going out with vendors I typically:

go to a sports event (loooots of baseball this year), sometimes skyboxes, turned down a football game last weekend
go to dinner
golf outings
our semi-annual conferences are a shit-show of dancing, drinking, and fun
recently a vendor had time in between meetings so invited my boss and I on a boat tour of downtown and dinner.

When I'm with my family (brother especially) I get drunk and smoke cigars.

fullmoonhermit · 2016-10-06T17:17:11+00:00

I'm a homebody mostly, but I do like to hang out at two local cafes, one that's a queer hangout and one that is focused on sex positivity and kink. They both have neat events and speakers and ways to meet interesting, friendly people.

I also enjoy the museums and zoo around here. They're all free. My friends and I hang out at each other's houses and watch Netflix and drink beer. I like taking my dog to the park and catching a movie every once in awhile. Magnificent Seven was really good. Craft fairs and flea markets are fun.

I'm feminist. I guess BP? Though BP isn't really an affiliation.

sunkindonut149 · 2016-10-06T18:35:04+00:00

My band's practice room is located in a building that is full of studios of all sorts, like rap studios and stuff like that. I go there to hear the latest jams.

I either lerk there, or at home. My friend works in a church in the middle of the city and we hang out there sometimes. Sometimes we go to a cheap mall that has a costco, aldi and target. Sometimes I go to guitar center to just play instruments I don't own.

Most of my shopping is done at aldi, wally world or dollar stores. sometimes I loiter in the lobby of my building with old people. I used to hang out at my alma mater but it got lame and boring. In the summer time I loiter in parks.

Sometimes I walk around in my area with my roommate to avoid catcallers. We go to the rummage sale in the parking lot of a supermarket.

DogfishSushi · 2016-10-05T18:45:20+00:00

My house, by myself, avoiding people.
