I have gone out hundreds of times and even stayed for several days in hotels and never had a negative experience - but LOTS of fun. I go out less and less as I no longer feel the need - only once this year including night in a hotel - and I don't miss it. I dress at home most of the time and I have a huge wardrobe. There are no more challenges but is still fun to wear the clothes and much more comfortable. One good reason for going out is wearing a coat and gloves - they look wonderful.
