Me, personally, I am more of a homebody nowadays and I am only 23 years old. I don't feel the need or necessity to have to go out and "party" or hit the club every weekend or even every other weekend for that matter. I don't go to clubs at all anymore.. and I haven't been since 2007. I do go to bars sometimes.. but very seldom. My husband is more of a homebody, too. But we would prefer the company of ourselves, our families and close friends... rather than going to be out with a bunch of strangers... What about you guys?? Do you prefer to go out and party or stay at home??

Well, there was a time that I was more of the kind of person that really liked to go to the bars and out with people that I barely knew. However, several years ago that all changed for me. I met my husband and from the time that I met him, he was more of a homebody. Well, once our daughter was born, I did still like to go out occasionally, but it didn't take me long at all to realize that I would much rather be at home and spending time with my family.

I couldn't agree more. It is a better feeling and more fulfilling than going out. I guess as one gets older... they readjust the things that they do in their lives to better fit their "current" personalities and hobbies... also that don't conflict with their priorities and responsibilities.

When I was 23years old, I was the partygoer type of person. I never missed the fun especially during the weekends. But I kinda stop on my later years during college. I didn’t think about it, I just stopped going out and I noticed then that I was doing different things, involved in some activities I never thought I would be doing.
Until now, I’m the homebody type. I like bumming on my bed and just be there the whole time when I’m off from work.

Do you prefer how you were then compared to now or vice versa?? I liked going out when I was younger.. but now I am more focused on what I have to do in life.. and that doesn't leave me much time for going out. Plus, I am married.. and I don't really feel comfortable going out.. even with friends.. and I'd never go out with my husband.. because that is mainly a scene for single people that be there "spec"(ing) lol on other people... I'd rather be home or with friends at their homes.. out to eat... and occasionally to the movies. Most new movies.. my husband and I catch online the day that they hit the theatres.

I can definitely agree with you on that. I feel the same way. I have never been one that just HAD to go out.

I'm a homebody myself and prefer to visit with my friends at one of our homes. There we can do whatever we want, from just sitting around and discussing life to dancing or playing games or watching movies, with no outsiders complaining that we're to dull or to wild. Much better than going out to bars and other party venues where you ends up being crushed by the mass, never finding a place to sit and rest when you need it and having to contend with busy or dirty bathrooms. No thanks comfort is much more important to me these days.

I feel the same. The club scene is kind of boring for me, too, because it is repetitive and nothing really ever changes. I already know what to expect before I get there.

I guess we change as people as we grow, which is quite natural. Some habits, hobbies and things we embrace and carry throughout life while others we adjust or just completey let go. This is the way of life. I am just glad for who I am now and today... and you should be glad for the person that you have grown into!!

I'm about as far from a partygoer as one can get. I've always been a homebody, even during my high school years and into my twenties. I'm a very shy, quiet person and I suspect (although I've never been officially diagnosed) that I have a touch of social anxiety. I'd much rather spend a quiet night in with my man or spend time with my family than to go out to a crowded, smokey bar and mingle with mere acquaintances or total strangers.

I feel the same way about spending time with my family/friends versus complete strangers. I am content with who I know now and I am not really anxious to meet new people. If it does happen, then great!! But, I don't go out seeking it here now because I have so many more priorities and things to focus on other than that. I am sort of introverted, too and shy. I can say that I am more outgoing and confident now than I was in the past..

I can understand that. Times are hard now and things such as going out is now considered a luxury.. I guess that's why I don't really view it as a necessity in my life.

People varies in interests. I'm a homebody and I dislike party. Although I do attend small gatherings at times. They say that staying home is a bore. Honestly, I find it a bore attending big parties. Probably, I just prefer the serenity I usually from staying away with big crowds. The books and now the Net are keeping me company when I'm all by myself in my room and I find joy in exchanging thoughts with intellectuals like most of the myLotters.

I don't find that being a homebody is boring at all. As long as you have what you want to do at home... or the person you want to spend time with... then it should be bliss. Lots better than going out and potentially getting into trouble or wasting money. I enjoy being here on MyLot, too and I enjoy it so much that I try to tell everyone about it that I can... including my husband who just joined this week as a new member!!

I like both but prefer to stay at home or go to friends' houses. When I go out, I want to be with my significant other and if that's not possible, with friends. I would never go to a bar or club alone. I wouldn't even go to a coffee shop alone. I'm a social creature and a little bit of attention wh*%re so I also want to go out every once in a while! But company really matters to me, not location.

I feel you on that. I am a socialite myself.. but it does not really matter where I am. I can have fun anywhere doing anything... but not with anyone. That's the thing. Live, love and love life!!

For me, I'd rather to stay at home since I'm a homebody person. I think going to party all night nore at weekends is quite good coz u can mingle new friends and meet diffenrent people with different walks of lives. But I still prefer staying at home hanging together with my family and love onse (coz i value them most of the time).

I'm more of a homebody and my close friends are the same But now that we have all the time since we've graduated, we've been going out but not to clubs. We're just hanging out, looking for new places to be in and going on adventures. Being a partygoer is not bad so long as you know your limits.

I feel you on that. It is fun and great to go out... but like you, I don't generally go to clubs. We go to parks... out to eat... things like that versus partying. But, whatever makes one happy is what they should focus on.
