But anyway, I am 29, live alone, have a job and pay my own bills so I guess you can call me one.

I think it varies a lot from person to person. Most of my friends don't go out every weekend night at all. People stay in with their SO's or they have friends over for dinner or a movie. Sometimes they just want to relax after a long week.

Currently I don't go out that often on a Friday, that night is usually a night I stay in and relax, but sometimes I'll go out to dinner and drinks with friends. On some Saturdays I go out dancing with friends. Maybe two weekends per month I go out I guess. Sometimes less. I go for whole months sometimes without going out at all on Friday and Saturday.

Staying in doesn't mean you're a loser. It's a choice. Staying in is really great when you enjoy your own company and know what you want to do with your time. If you want to go out more, then you should just find the right group of friends for that to happen more. I wouldn't worry about it at all.
