Agree to disagree... you vs. me

I had a very interesting conversation with one of my friends (more like enemy) this morning on facebook chat...

At the end we had a bit of a difference in opinion about having fun...

I thought I'd just share it with you... I've highlighted my replies in yellow and I've removed a certain part to keep the identities of some of the people we talked about:

11:24am
It's what you implied
11:25am
oh it does seem that way sowi.....anyway hows _____?

(note: I have removed a tiny bit of the conversation here...)

11:32am
so wat do you for fun, do you go out?
11:34am
I like to keep to myself... Im not really a party go-er unless my closest friends are with... I prefer the odd weekend braai or going to the movies... but most weekends, I spend at home, reading, playing games or watching movies or writing blog posts
11:36am
oh.......thats nice i guess.....but how do you meet ppl and stuff?
11:38am
At the moment I don't... But even if I did go out, what’s the probability of me meeting someone???
11:40am
big......the world is full of ppl......my closest friends i met 4 months ago at a pub....and just last week i made a new best frnd.....but then agen i hav to many best friends........
11:44am
I see... My thing is, "would I be friends with major party go-ers if I myself am not a party go-er???" My kind of a fun evening isn't going to a club, drinking and getting dunk... so why would I seek a friendship with someone who does??? I do understand that not everyone goes to clubs to get drunk, but essentially I need to live and have fun for me, and be around people with similar likes and dislikes as I have... Although I have made great friends with whom I do not share common ground with, but I befriended them through varsit
varsity
not by going out...
11:49am
you dont have to drink to hav fun, dancing and singing and being young......and doing crazy things.....you cant expierence life if you dont try new things.....??????
11:50am
Whats being young got anything to do with it???
I exprience many new things, and I dont get wild...
I'm quite happy the way I do things...
11:53am
lots wen you older you cant do things you can do wen you 20......you dont hav to be wild, you can hav mature crazy shit....i cant explain. Life is to short.
11:54am
That saying is over rated...
Especially when you hear a twenty year old saying it...
Twenty somethings always want to focus on having fun, I'm more interested in developing my career... Fun can happen when I have a stable income
or rather financially secure
11:57am
money and security cant buy you love and fun
11:58am
Well fun isn’t going to look after you when you’re old and cripple.


I never really had a chance to carry on my argument, but I think being responsible is critical this early in life... I feel its more important to have direction, than to aimlessly run around acting out and having a good time...

Although I'm not saying, don't have a good time, I mean, I do go out with my friends to clubs and pubs etc, and I do have a lot of fun doing it, but its not my priority right now... I wont feel comfortable going out and being spontaneous all the time, if I don't feel safe.

I'm a very independent person... I don't need another man in my life to define who I am. I used to be like that (someone who needs another person to live...etc etc etc...), but the problem was I was never in a relationship... To this day I've never had a boyfriend and as much as I want one, I don't really need one. I'm confident now and I'm happy... so I don't see why I need to follow the "fun practices" of other people...
That's just me
