Am I a loser if I go to the casino alone?

Just wondering.

There's a casino an hour from my house, and I am really bored tonight and would like to go there for a bit and play some slots.

But is that hugely loser-ish of me? To go alone?

Like...is it looked down upon?....
lol

No,not at all!
I used to dine alone whenever I felt like it and my friends thought that was nuts but I felt very comfortable in my own skin and had no issue with it.
Go out and have fun!

roxypox agrees: I like that, I like to go to the movies alone! Some people think that it wired, but I started doing this when I was 15 and when no one wanted to see the movie I wanted to see. :)

According to my sister going places alone means you are a loser.
According to me it means you are independent.
The casino-go alone-that way you won't feel guilty for not splitting your big winnings.

yep, if you don't have a fantistic looking partner to be with every minute of the day, you are most certainly a loser.

We are always judged in life by the pretty people we surround outsides with.

Now it is leaving the casino that makes you a loser, since you lose all your money there most of the time

N0help4u agrees: Good point leaving a loser.

Hello A:

Gambling, if you wanna win, is NOT really a social activity, in any case. It's WAR between you and the dealer.. It's NOT a good time to be glib.

It IS entertainment, though - no different than going to the mall, or a movie, or to a club...

Besides, "looked down upon" by WHO??? And, why would you care what THOSE people think anyway?? You ain't never gonna please THEM no matter how you live your life... So, SCREW them. Live your life in a manner that pleases YOU - within the bounds of civility, of course.

excon

No help 4 u: I like that and I totally agree! It does radiate independence!

I think that doing things alone, is great! Going to the movies... dinner... I like it!

hehe 2 years ago I actually went on a 9 day vacation alone, I was staying with people I know though, but each day I would go out and do things on my own (I live in Scandinavia, and I went to virginia,.) I loved it... made me feel empowered and I think I def learned alot from it, first of all I learned that: I CAN!

N0help4u agrees: I envy you.....a vacation away alone from everyone and everything in your daily life.

It's fine to do things alone. Actually it takes a lot of courrage to do things alone because of fear of being a loner. So it would show that you have a lot of confidence in yourself.

Just don't loose too much money. But isn't there something else that you can do that doesn't involve risking money?

Nohelp4u: yeah it was really nice, to just beable to do whatever I wanted when I wanted, and to not have to deal with the stress of work and school, or worry about bills.
