There are differences and similarities between clubs in general and house parties in general. There are probably a dozen clubs here in the DFW area and we haven't gone to any of them yet. We've talked about it and the grass probably isn't any greener on the other side of the fence - we're having plenty of fun at house parties. Again, there's probably a dozen parties every weekend and more on hollidays we could go to. Some are a little "classier" than we feel comfortable with (mostly relying on word of mouth) and a few are reported to be "trailer park" events. We're taking our half out of the middle. It's a comfortable environment with all the normal stuff a happy home would have. If for some reason we might need something simple like a bandaid or a tylenol, the host probably has some to share.

The parties are recurring on a monthly schedule with misses every now and then, so we know the crowd and recognise new faces as such. There's no shortage of new potential playmates and ladies I'd like to be with again. We don't go to every party so sometimes there's some catching up on the news.

We have partied with some folks that attend several clubs regularly and have invited us to meet them there sometime. We just haven't worked that into the schedule yet.

We've met a few local couples through our interaction here on the board and had the opportunity to spend some quality time with one of them. I have to think that's also not exactly the perspective you're looking for.
