Does anything compare to the buzz of nightlife?

Since being a teenager, I have loved going out and being surrounded by good friends, good music, good drinks, pretty women, meeting new people, discovering new places and not knowing what's going to happen next. Take any of those ingredients away and it's still a good time for me.

I thought that having a girlfriend who I'd bring out with me would ruin the fun because there would be no thrill of the chase for women but in fact, it just made it more relaxing and carefree for me.

I'm at an age and point in my life now where going out frequently is too disruptive to my life to do often (especially as I live in a city where a night out doesn't start until after midnight then is likely to go on to 6 or 7am). I don't go out much and have no problem not going out but there is nothing in my life that sparks the same amount of excitement and joy as a good night out.

For what it's worth, I have never been into drugs and when friends started to need drugs for a good night out, I'd drift away from them.

A lot of my fondest memories in my adult life have been nights out those that weren't were often an event in the day followed by a big celebration/blowout at night.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and did you ever find something else that lived up to the buzz of nightlife?

For me personally NO... Going out is what i live for, the music, the vibe... I love it. And I'm too old to go out according to some.

BUT it doesn't have to be at night... Some concerts start early evening... A new hype here is parties on Sunday afternoon etc.

If it disrupts your life too much you'll have to plan your life to make sure it works. Take a nap before you go out, don't drink too much when you're out, eat healthy, exercise you know the drill if you read this forum I guess.

But no I don't know anything that gives me the same fond memories as going out... Maybe going to a theme park with my family and seeing everyone having the time of their life and being carefree myself. But it's just not the same. But it does come close!

I never quite caught the nightlife bug. I always found that you have to sacrifice so much in the way of efficiency and lifestyle just to sustain a night life habit. I just don't find that the juice is worth the squeeze for me now that I've worked on my day game and online game.

I cut down my drinking and other stuff because it was hurting my bottomline: fitness, mental health and bankroll.

The downside is that I find it harder to connect with people since I'm often not drinking and they are. I'm more grounded and they're more like "Wtf is up with this guy! he doesn't drink!?!?"

Sure you pull a bitch and whatever but I'd rather keep up my nightly reading habits or hit the gym or something. I am very momentum-based and I find that nightlife is a serious wrench in my gears. I mostly just go on dates at night, cut them early, bounce the girl to my spot and smash so I can sleep at a normal hour.

Much of the time if you do catch me out it's for a concert or meeting an old friend for a couple of drinks and then I head off. I just do not jive well with the whole hang out all night thing anymore.

On the flipside some of my friends who are deeply entrenched in nightlife have way cooler stories than me.

I will be checking my PMs weekly, so you can catch me there. I will not be posting.

I don't know how anybody can tolerate modern night life. The music is awful, it's way too loud, and it's not authentic. I like the idea of night life, but not the way it has become.

That's not how we do things in Russia, comrade.

Yes. Something does compare, at least it does for me.

But most people are not ready to hear it yet and only a few men would be able to implement it currently. And going down this path may destroy every security you have ever had about women, relationships, and humanity. In the end, I do not know if it leads to darkness or light. For me, it has been all light thus far. If I share it and other men can't implement it, it will probably hurt them and put them into a depressing state.

I am only 8 months into this journey and I know I am the only man walking down this road currently and I don't have all the answers yet. I need more time, more failures, and more lessons learned before I am willing to discuss it.

But yes, there is another life after nightlife.

You're on a forum full of internet strangers, it doesnt matter what you do or do not do.

I have never enjoyed nightlife, have stopped drinking and am in dire need of an alternative lifestyle. At this stage I am open to pretty much anyhting; I have tried them all: religion, video games, intellectualism, nightlife, careerism, p4p, drugs, nothing satisfies.

I would also add that the vibe/energy is generally vile (in a club), in no small part due to poseurs (of both sexes) trying so hard to maintain their shit-don’t-stink facade. Bring in alcohol to the mix and the obnoxiousness in the air is palpable.

Much prefer a low-key bar/cocktail lounge as a night-time activity (infrequently).

Nothing angers me more than a line outside the door, paying a cover charge, paying $15 for a rum and coke , and then discovering that there's hardly anyone inside because the venue wants to make it look exclusive. My hip flask has solved one of those problems.

Thankfully, the rise of low key lounges and pubs not playing music at ear cracking speeds has increased over the years. I can have a drink, relax, and talk to people without feeling pressured.

Nothing pissed me off going out to a bar with a group of people where we pregame for 3 hours, spend another hour waiting for bitches to get ready, walk outside for an hour while the men leave the bitches to decide on a venue, and then wait another hour in a line. Meanwhile, by the time you get in it's an hour to closing time.

OP evolve your nightgame. Go out earlier and be back by 11. Hip flask to cut down costs. And after party at your place. Whether your friends will agree to it is the variable. People can't think more innovatively about how they approach nightlife.

I'll preface this by saying I partied pretty heavily in college, and really did enjoy myself. I generally characterize the buzz as a feeling of overall well-being. You get home and feel satisfied about your life in general. This is how it was for me, at least.

Fortis called it perfectly, and my experience mirrors his in that regard.

The last couple of months of my life have been some of the best, and I've never felt more fulfilled and generally happy about my life.

There is nothing more conducive to male happiness than having a mission in your life. LINUX is probably alluding to this to some degree. His mission probably involves physical trials at the highest level of performance.

I can say for me, that there is no better feeling than building my business. In other words, building my path to freedom. I come home satisfied, and ready for the adventures the next day will bring.

Now, I find joy in the adventures of traveling. I find joy in the buzz of tackling a strong wind while windsurfing (highly recommended, will post a datasheet on it as soon as I finish writing my other one), or just grabbing my LTR and going on a roadtrip.

The common theme of these activities is they all relate back to my mission. Moreover, they build identity capital. Part of the reason nightlife becomes so addicting is it becomes part of who you are. Those positive experiences out begin to define you, and how you see yourself. That's why I believe it is important to pick something you enjoy, and then become great at it. Nothing will leave you feeling more satisfied than the all out pursuit of whatever that thing is, interspersed with travel and other formative experiences.

Great post. It is my first time to hear the term "identity capital" but it makes sense and is quite intriguing. Could you elaborate on your theories of what "identity capital" is and how it affects people?

No problem.

I went through a very difficult period of my life right before I discovered RVF, and I spent several months studying and then reflecting on what makes the happiest people happy. I came to three conclusions:

  1. You can't be truly happy without a distinct identity of your own.
  2. Building an identity is critical to your overall productivity and perceived success in life.
  3. You aren't given an identity, you have build one.
These are probably no surprise to you guys. However, it raised another question for me. How does one build an identity from scratch?

Enter Identity Capital. Identity Capital is the set of things that you do repeatedly that become the essence of who you are, and then color how you perceive yourself and the world around you. Also included are the unique sets of experiences you have, the skills you learn, and to a lesser extent the people you interact with (more on this later).

As you build identity capital, you become a distinct human being. That capital you build allows you to have a unique perspective on the world, and in turn makes you interesting to others. More importantly, it gives you a sense of direction. It gives you ownership.

Identity Capital is important because it tells us how we fit in with the world.

For instance, I take great pride in windsurfing and own the skill to the point where I can teach it to others, or use it for my own enjoyment.

Our boy Fortis is another great example. He's all over the Fitness section for a reason. His bottom line of fitness is a part of who he is. The repeated hard work he puts in at the gym has become a part of who he is. He now views the world from a more health-conscious lens because he invested the time in himself to build up the skill of fitness. That's also part of the reason he didn't catch the nightlife bug, because it doesn't fit the identity he has been building for himself.

Part of the reason that my generation is so messed up is because we don't endeavor to build identity capital.

The conclusion I've come to about most women is they aren't interesting because they fail to build identity capital. They do not take the time to establish routines for themselves whereupon they build the skills, the experiences, or even the career that sets them apart from others. They don't acquire unique knowledge, or have the depth of experience to offer a different perspective. They have no identity of their own.

That's why we see Hinge profiles that can be surmised as: Dogs, Netflix, The Beach, Drinking, and Friends.

These are the women working as bartenders, waiting tables, or living off their looks. They spend all day with their friends and become more susceptible to the opinions of the crowd, rather than following the nagging calling to become something different. I have found that this is often because their friends do not have defined identities of their own. It becomes an impermissible sin to be different at this point.

The problem has gotten worse because men fall into this trap too. Why do you think it's so easy to rile up the left? Because they haven't built up the identity capital to the point where their set of unique experiences gives them a solid view of the world where they can make their own judgement independent of what other people tell them.

Indeed, the dumbing down of society and the dearth of identity capital in the newer generations are related.

At the end of the day, we find the most happiness in being able to impact the world around us in a way unique to each of us. We find happiness in having the skills to take care of ourselves, and inform us of the purpose that we were put on this earth for. We find joy in acquiring new knowledge that helps us better ourselves, increase our skills, and advance our purpose.

Ultimately, human beings crave progress. But how are you to progress without knowing what you should be progressing towards?

To close, pay attention to the happiest men you know. You'll see it around RVF. These are men with fully formed identities that have worked, traveled, loved, and lost. They read. They are curious. They have a unique perspective to offer the world, and for that they are all the better.

Indeed, we are all the better for having them as well.

The best times of nightlife for me were late teens/early 20s, having a big group of friends who were all into it. Always a good group heading out at any one time and likely meeting other friends of friends out etc. I'm not sure if the nights themselves were that great in hindsight, but just having that big group of friends; all of you experiencing shit for the first time is something I miss. It gave a strong sense of wellbeing and knowing your place.

However, as I've gotten older that starts to tail off annoyingly quickly. Many friends simply move away and take on responsibilities; some go a little too hard on the drugs and realise they have to stop. Everyone eventually leaves the party and gets on with life.

I'm still only in my mid 20s, but the allure of partying and all that is no longer there for me, and it's probably for the best. It's impossible to get all those friends together again in the same time/place with the same freedom we all had before, but it was great while it lasted.

+1,Great post, I've become very interested the topic of individuation and I am increasingly convinced that Sartre was correct: existence precedes essence. People seem to think that a persona is something that you are born with , rather than something you cultivate.

This is the true harm from porn and video games for men; smartphones and series for women prevent them from cultivating a persona for themselves.

Night life was fun as a teenager when you only went out so you could have a reason to do drugs all night outside of the parent's household. After that I kind of grew out of it.

But I get why some people like it. If you're an extrovert and you love talking to random people, I'm sure it must be fun.

I get a pretty big buzz when I reel in a 30 lbs fish, gut/clean it then eat it. Same thing for when I go hunting with friends, take down a deer, dress it then eat it. My last big rush was snow mobiling in the Rocky mountains a couple of months ago, holding the throttle wide open while scaling a steep incline was an intense experience.

Going to clubs doesn't appeal to me anymore, especially in North America. Wait in line to pay a cover charge to get into a packed meat market to wait in line for shitty drinks while hearing shit top 40 music, deal with shitty attitudes of girls and wonder if some dude is going to randomly punch me in the face if I accidentally step on his toes. No thanks.

Find some granola/yoga chick who wants to go hiking then bend her over against a tree and pound the snot out of her in nature, that's my idea of a good time.

I love nightlife, especially nightclubs and lounges. I love the feeling of walking into a big club in an exotic location, whether it is the gravity-defying hotels of Las Vegas, the beaches of Miami, or the Mediterranean Sea, and hearing the faint echoes of house music transform into a full-bodied bass. I love the complete uncertainty at the start of the night, where I have no idea whether I am going to pull a woman home, but instead of seeing a "sausage fest", I see a buffet of potentially available women and feel the excited to give them the chance to live my experience with me.

I enjoy the buzz of nightlife whether I am drunk, sober, or partaking in "party favors". I enjoy it whether I am solo or with close friends, with a girl or without, or whether I have bottle service or just paid cover to get in.

Now, I agree that going out constantly is rarely conducive to a productive professional career, especially as we get older. That is why I tend to limit nights like these to several times per month. And I agree that other things can get me a similar buzz - I enjoy plenty of activities that I enjoy just as much. As a whole, however, nightlife is really special to me as of now, and its hard for me to picture not going out at all.

I completely agree with this (and the rest of your post as well), though I don't feel it is inherently conflicting with enjoying nightlife. I would say that for me, the best feeling is to make significant progress in my business after grinding for months, and then go and enjoy a night out without the tiniest shred of guilt, feeling like I have earned every single bit of it.

Cool buzz word but I think you’re overlooking the basic fundamentals of/ essentials for happiness:

- a loving/supportive family and friends;
- a strong male presence during formative years; and
- a sense of belonging or worth.

Without those, you’re just going through the motions in life with a weak foundation (identity), effectively rudderless and prone to influence.

If you’re lucky enough to have those essentials, your sense of self and confidence within yourself is more likely to blossom naturally, paying that positivity forward by yourself becoming that strong male presence as you make your mark in the world and eventually build your own family.

While I agree that the first two especially can really help, not everyone has those. Most of what I've been searching for revolves around what each individual person can have, regardless of their circumstances.

Supportive friends though, I cannot agree with you enough on. Having truly good people that push you to be the best that you are a huge part of what makes life worth it.

I agree that having those things in place does make it a lot easier to have a great sense of self confidence, which is why the demise of the nuclear family is also part of the reason we're losing the millennial generation.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and did you ever find something else that lived up to the buzz of nightlife?

Yes.

I've had a long innings enjoying the nightlife all around the world (Berlin, Brazil Carnaval, Colombia, NYC, Paris, Tulum, Thai islands, Moscow, Buenos Aires etc etc etc), and in my opinion the following things far exceed the buzz of the nightlife:
- The buzz of ploughing beautiful women (I'm much more efficient at this by meeting women in daytime situations compared to nightlife).
- The buzz of skiing and snowboarding down mountains up near the heavens (I love adrenaline and speed, this sport releases far more "buzz" chemicals for me than nightlife).
- The buzz of creating a legacy & family (Once I upgrade to more important things in life, then spending time in the nightlife is merely for novelty factor and is not worth the time and health cost)
- The buzz of making money (using all that time and energy I normally used for nightlife and then channeling it into business instead has for me been a much bigger and satisfying buzz).

When serendipity and context is right then I still enjoy nightlife from time-to-time, but nowadays I've reached a point where partying and nightlife serves only the following purposes for me:
- Having boisterous banter, laughter, drinks, birds and vibes with my crew.
- Cultural experience when I travel, going to bars and clubs can be a great way to soak up the atmosphere of a new city.
- The euphoria of listening to amazing music on a next level sound system in a cool atmosphere.

I understand everyone has their own unique perspectives and is at different ages... I'm in the my early 30s... But I've well and truly moved on from nightlife and I don't miss it at all because I get a much bigger buzz from the things which I listed above ^^.

Does anything compare to the buzz of nightlife?

I used to be all about this when I was starting out in college. No worries or real responsibilities, super easy to get a big squad of your friends together, everyone is pumped and in a good mood, maybe some funny stuff happens or some crazy shit goes down that you and your friends can laugh about for years.

Now all my friends are spread out everywhere, I have trouble tolerating all the bullshit and noise of the modern nightlife, not to mention the money and sleep lost.

This might sound lame, but my biggest highs these days are when I write a sick riff or when I get a hot girl naked for the first time.

Violence...and it's way better...

Civilize the mind but make savage the body.

Not lame at all. For me, music creation is one of the most satisfying things i can do for my soul. I would hate to not have that cathartic outlet.
