It's OK in the theatre and cinema because it's dark and no-one is looking at you - they're mainly looking straight ahead, eating popcorn or canoodling. When you're in a bar or when there's cabaret seating then people are expecting you to be sociable so a lone person sticks out like a sore thumb. I know what you mean though - I go to things that my mates like without a second thought but the gesture is not often reciprocated. Perhaps we're just more cultured or too nice for our own good? x
