It is work if you're like me and instantly hate most of those people, have no interest in listening to their boring conversations, and would rather be doing anything else ;)
"good time" and "nice people" are not phrases I'd use to describe networking events. More important phrases to me are, "free food" and "open bar".

how sad
Are you saying that you like talking to people who you have nothing in common with?
It needs some effort to connect, but you can learn from a lot of people.
(And even if you just brush up your social skills, that can be helpful.)
