What Is a Paradox?
9. Crowded Bar
It’s usually good to go to night spots where there’s other people. Having other people around helps to improve the atmosphere while there is also a chance of meeting new friends. It is not usually a good idea to go to places that are too busy, though, and it is not uncommon for people to say that “nobody goes to a particular place because it is too crowded.”

This paradox is really more of an example of how we tend to be quite flexible with language. The person making the claim cannot mean literally nobody, after all, it is crowded. What would be more accurate is to say that nobody in my circle goes there any more.
