I think your ideas would be excellent for me 15 years ago, now we never go out to dance because our 1 year old would feel really lonely alone at home, and I have a drinking problem anyway, the last thing I need is more. At 37 I think I can do the rest of my life without it. But I think your advice needs to be gotten out to younger "mes" definitely.

(To be fair, I think that is how I developed that drinking problem. It began with loosening up to dance or to approach girls. Didn't work but liked the feeling. Since I mostly ended up doing nothing just standing there, getting drunk and going home, I associated that drunk feel with "being entertained, going out like a normal person not staying home like a nerd" and then it went a bit downhill from here - and it was still at 19.)

As for culture, I am just more or less standar (Central) Euro, none of that impressive Argentinian stage stuff, neither that wonderfully careless joy-dancing religious Jews do. I think, in between. Normal club stuff.
