Are some interests more aspie friendly and some aspies too ambitious

[The_P]

There are clubs in my hometown where the bouncers do not let you in if your clothes are not expensive enough, or you are not good looking enough.  Everyone who goes there is social, has an expensive car, I personally think aspies have done better at socialising in more down to earth and grungy places, beacuse there are always more nerdy people there.  If that makes me more of a judge and a hypocrite, I accept that. 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.  It's a natural human tendency to think "My ingroup is good, all other ingroups are outgroups and therefore bad."  Nothing new.

It has naught to do with my thinking of "my ingroup is good and all outgroups are bad". I just didn't enjoy the experience.

Eh, blame my agoraphobia.

I was into raving and clubbing when i was younger.
It is actually "aspie friendly": conversations did not get past "What's yer name, where are you from, what are you on?"

I actually did have to go back and check to see if you were Mutate and had changed your name.  Nope; you were just taking my comment too personally.  I was referring to the idea of "this ingroup is bad/this ingroup is good."  (Mutate's not the only one doing it on this thread, but I quoted him because I ended up simulposting and figured I should go grab the context I intended to post under.)

The downside with Clubbing is you are unlikely to end up with many new friends out of it. Though it is fun, I agree.

Other than Pyraxis today, I wasn't taking anyone personally. I was simply butting in and adding my two cents, even though you were addressing your post to somebody else.

Though it may look that way to you on my last post (analysis for the win), I can assure you that I'm not crying myself into a stupor over some Yank's opinion.

Fucking shrinks.

BUT, there is a difference between places
which are so trendy that they turn people
away, for not having the right 'look' and those
in which you won't make friends, but can still
pass out on your barstool.

Trendy places are very different from the places that pass out on your barstool.

I always push myself and mask any traits of AS. I don't like people treating me differently and for the most part people don't know.
My best mates do know and don't give a stuff.
I like to fit in, even if I know sometimes I will fail.

[Calandale]

I think people realize that I'm pretty
damned weird at ANY bar. The dancing
is just out there. But, at a mellower
place, I'll just chuck darts, alone, all
night.

[Alex179]

I don't go to "trendy" places.   I just go to bars whenever I am dragged to them.   Usually its to see some band play that has someone in it that my friend Matt has played with before in one of his previous endeavours.   I know one bartender from before she worked at bars, so I fit in better at that bar as I know one of the bouncers as well.   I haven't been there in a few months though.   I usually can stand large groups or crowds for so long before it starts to really bother me.

I hate hanging around at gigs before the band come on. The general murmur of the crowd is just fucking nauseating.

Worse is all the random people
coming up to me. Wanting to talk.
Usually, I feel trapped.
