I believe that this describes me as well.

If my wife and I go to a gathering, she'll still be going strong after 7 or 8 hours and reluctant to leave, whereas I'll be totally burned out after 90 minutes, tops.

But I have a small group of very close friends, and I can hang out with them more or less indefinitely.
