Are You Over 27? You’ll Probably Want To Stay In This Weekend So…

Queues at the bar, paying to get in, drinks spilled on you, lost phones, terrible music and that friend you have to mind all night… it seems it’s enough to turn us all off bothering to head out at all. 

Instead, we ladies are choosing a night in with the girls ahead of a night out with the girls, and we even get dressed up for the occasion.

A recent survey of 2,000 women under the age of 40 found that we ranked nights in over a night out on the tiles for a number of reasons, not least that they’re quieter and cheaper, there is no queuing involved and we’re not at the mercy of the delightful Irish weather. 

Seven in ten women under 40 claim they much prefer socialising in their own homes or at a friends’ house, rather than be made to experience the local nightlife. A night in with friends proved more than twice as popular as going to the pub, and eight times more popular than going to a nightclub.

And if this doesn’t sound like you just yet, chances are you’re under 27, as this is the age where it seems women begin to want to stay in more with mates instead of braving a nightclub.
