| Jumpin said: What drinking is associated with is parties, higher confidence, fun, dating, culture, enjoyment of life, relaxation, socializing, lower anxiety, creativity, and health benefits such as: cardiovascular health, improved sex drive, longer life expectancy. The main benefit, of course, is as a social lubricant as it can lead to more intimate talk between men and women. It can be the difference between a conversation between two that ends without consequence, and one that ends with plans for a date. If you have kids, you'll find that drinking with the other adults is pretty much a great way to not really have the sort of stress that other people have, especially if you have 4 kids like me =P |
As I said I don't enjoy things that can affect my mental state. I like to deal with my feelings, stress and social anxiety with my mind as conscious as possible, same reason why avoid other C-team drugs.
I'm not a very outgoing person, I only like to go out with friends in smaller groups so we can have private talks. I hate crowded or noisy places (the exception is concerts, as I don't have no secondary option to listen live music), so places usually associated with alchool like pubs and clubs are just not for me.
About dating, I'm in the process of accepting I just can't have casual date like most normal people. I need some kind of emotional and intelectual connection to really want to engage with someone, I totally understand the concept of getting horny when I see a hot women in a pool, but I just don't have enough motivation to start anything unless I know the person a bit first.
The idea of getting drunk (or worse, counting on her drunk) to convince a woman to date with me just seems... I don't how can I define in any word but immoral
Well I don't think I need to explain my dating life (and sexual life for that matter) is horrific, but I'm happy that way, don't feel I need to change
