Yes, I think I over-stated because of that silly post. But, I would add that the number of posts with "Terasse" are speaking about a café or pub, so I should correct myself and say a good number disagree about spending the time at home.
But I stand by the statement that not a single post refers to spending the evening alone.
I think one should trust those with native-speaker intuitions here...
I agree.
