Don't want to go to my local village pub anymore

[David87]

Told mate if he wants to meet for a drink I'd rather head into our nearest biggest town.

I'm sick of visiting my local village pubs..

Sausage fests.

They're all the same.. same middle aged blokes with beer guts, leathery skin from decades of smoking and alcohol abuse.

They all sit around the bar spouting the same ol cringe banter and low brow humour.

Crap innuendos and sinpery to the bar staff women who probably hate their jobs and the customers

I was sat in there the other day and I just wanted to leave. £5 a pint to be surrounded by simpleton pleb blokes who are in there everyday.

I'm a 37 yo guy I might be turning into a grumpy old git.

Are you ok David

Here’s a thought….don’t go then. 🤷‍♀️

I'd take smoking up if I were you David mate

Is there only one pub? That’s very unusual. I think you should broaden your horizons too David.

good luck.

Yanbu but this is why I don't like villages in general. But I'm a grumpy misanthrope

37... makes you practically middle aged- just don't go?

I love my village pub and the old men in there, but I like the low brow banter 😂 but don't go to places you don't like.. but if your mate only wants to pop out for a quick pint or two I think it's a bit much to make the proper effort to go into town and get back again if you're drinking. Least with the pub you can walk there and walk back!

Blimey.

This! I like the local village pub and that everyone gets to know each other. All the old guys at the one I go to though are fine. The other local pub in the other direction though I wouldn’t go to as the blokes in there are not so nice and always hitting on people.
But yeah, for a quick pint out, it’s the local pub. It’s a lot of effort to get a taxi or arrange a lift home for an evening in town unless you’re making a big event of it.

So nothing like 'Spoons ,then?

How many (cheaper) pints would you need to drink to recoup the cost of the taxis?

Is your mate a family man with substantial outgoings?

As others have said, for most people, catching a quick pint or two doesn't warrant the expense/effort of travelling.

Stay indoors and brew your own beer.

In another 30 years you'll find you for right in.

In other words you just want to pull OP. But can't because pub is a sausage fest.
Bit harsh judging people on their appearance and low brow humour. Not everyone is as handsome and witty as you. Also pubs tend to be quite cliquey wherever you go

...fit..

TBH you sound like you just need to embrace and accept it.

Sinpery?

I take it you’re single David? Yeah the village pub isn’t ideal to pull, I grant you. Although I’m curious which spoons you go to where you get the highbrow humour that’s missing in your village pub?

We've all been there mate. I know a string of smashing boozers totally ruinied by the pondlife that uses them. Go to town if that's what it takes to get to a decent pub. To get to my local I walk 2 miles and past 4 others that I wouldn't be seen dead in. It's worth it.

Sounds like a great place for you to pull then David. Small minded bigots like yourself, perfect.

Old blokes with leathery skins and beer guts are entitled to go to the pub for a drink like everyone else. What are they doing wrong? Sacrificing goats in the pub carpark?. Leave the poor old buggers alone and go elsewhere

Not sure this is such a specialist topic that only men can relate to?

That's why I posted here.. I thought women would relate more to it than me.
