Anyone in their late 20s to early 30s or later that sees the

People grow up. Personally, I'm glad to have distanced myself from my friends. Not all, but most. People started families, ruined families, became single moms, focused on studies, others are just NEET, another probably still on disability. And me, unemployed, live alone, only child, don't drink, smoke, nothing. Just watching the dags go by, unemployed, odd jobs now and then.. 31 and life isn't at all what I expected it to be at my age.

I'm in a similar situation OP, 34 y-o and no kids, while all my friends have started families. Some misc tips;

>find a bar/club that catters to older people
>Take care of your body
Hit the gym as often as you can, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep. That will make you appear younger than you are, and will make you shine when next to out-of-shapes fellow 30ish y-o men

>Don't be affraid to hit on younger chicks (as young as 18)
>save up and travel the world
this is a great way to meet, get drunk and party with younger people
>buy a sport motorcycle and go to gatherings and stuff

get some help bro

Nah, I just need a steady job to start my own small company. I grew up alone, and I'm used to being alone. I would like a stable relationship, but nothing good comes along. I don't feel I need help, in fact, I feel blessed in many ways.

At my age, not smoking, not drinking, I run, exercise, eat well. Most of my friends were drug users, and I just bored of them. I live in Miami, so life isn't exactly a death sentence, just quieter than most of the dumb shit surrounding me.

I don't know, but I'm 26, going to be 27. I was a total neck beard from 18 to 23. So I feel like I missed out on a few years. I don't have many friends, and I'm still in undergrad so I mostly talk to people younger than me.

I know I'm starting to get to where I wanted to be at 19, but I notice some people I went to high school with getting married, having kids, etc.

I think life is what you make it. If you like those things, still do them. I don't know much about the bar scene because I don't like that stuff, but you can probably go out by yourself, or make some slightly younger friends. I think after 21, there isn't much difference in age. So I don't think anyone will see it as strange.

But this is something I worry about a lot. But I'm enjoying myself now more than I did when I was a teen. I question whether it is wrong or weird, but I'm happy and anything from alone, and 18 year old girls don't think my age is strange at all. So I think nobody really cares. You do you.

You are the guy who has not grown up. Try to.

I can personally relate.

Also, I think being a guy makes you on a different time line than women. So you aren't in any rush to "grow up and settle down."

I think as a man you're still seen as young and desirable well into your thirties. You can get away with the same shit you did in high school.

rofl ok guy, I'm sure that's gonna happen

>>17986812
I've lived alone before. Do odd jobs on my own. Fixing things, pressure washing, meh. Thinking I'll start a pressure washing biz, already own 2 units.

The level of assumption is high in here tonight. It's like a sinkhole of fail and nobody wants anybody else to escape. Pitiful bullshit really.

My life has gotten better. My teen years were full of mischief and crazy stunts. My 20's started with trepidation and confusion, evolved into 5-6 years of continuous partying and binge drinking and my late 20's were all about marriage and kids. I am in my 30's now and all I can say is everything i do is positive. I like alot of self discovery stuff. Health related stuff. Interesting cultural travelling stuff. The drunken party is gone. I feel like im doing what i did in my teen years...just not as goofy and crazy. Its fun.

To add to that...one thing i didnt expect was to relive my childhood because of my kids. Its so weird having all these deja vu's you forgot about. For instance if I take my kids to a museum, or a rides park or camping...all those memories that have been forgotten from 5-10 come rushing back. + you see your own kids having fun.

I dont think back to the broads i picked up at bars or getting hammered...that was fun while it lasted but it has no comparison to joy. That life is addictog and great for like 6-8 months. Then you realize women are all the same and no matter if a girl is a 5 or a 10 their cunts all feel the same. Same old drunken stories same old hang overs.

There is more to life m8.

OP here. Sorry, I fell asleep.

I don't currently plan on ever having kids, and I think having them to hopefully "relive my youth" is a huge risk if I turn out to hate them or can't raise them right. Most of the people I know my age that have kids aren't very happy. It's cool to hear you get satisfaction from it, but I have only met one girl I'd want to have a relationship with in the past two years.

All of that sounds hugely negative, but it's not any MGTOW stuff or an inability to get girls, just an acknowledgment to myself that I don't want to settle for anyone, so I don't bother looking for anything besides a casual hookup anymore.
