If you do the hobbies that primarily consist of younger people, that's why.

I'm 25 right now, usually do meetups for bar hopping once a month around town and everyone is close to 30ish. Just look for something that you enjoy that older people do as well.

If you are talking dating, I always believe there is someone like me out there, my age and has the same hobbies/personality. I'm not one to look for girls 3 years younger than me though, so never have a big age gap.

>>723206546

That's... not what I was getting at.

This isn't about a relationship, it's just about getting older.

>>723206691

I guess so. Until a few weeks ago I had two women going casually, one 21 the other 33. The age difference really shows.

Is there anything you used to do that you outgrew? Like you found that the group doing it just didn't age?

You get older, that's that dude. You're still fairly young, and it sounds like you have a successful life, so make the most of it.

But I feel you completely, I'm 25 and I just think...wow I'm in the last stretch of pure youth.

Yea, used to go to a lot of festivals in Austin, TX (No longer live here). Once I realized I was 23-24 and all the people there were primarily high-schoolers, stopped doing that. Usually just go to venues with smaller shows now, it's easier to meet people and have a good time instead of 'Whoa man, drugs!'.

I'm in Oregon now and my city usually posts a monthly get-together for a game night, or movie night. So people bring their computers to someones house or he has games set up at his, could even be board games. It's usually 23 year old + people all just meeting up when they have time off to relax and have a good time.

I'm also ex-military so try to find other veterans to hang with. Most of them are really carefree and easy to get along with (besides the guys who peaked in the military).

Playing pool in bars is an easy way to meet people. I like drinking so that's honestly one of my best ways at introductions.

I know 4chan hates reddit, but if you look at your towns subreddit there are usually people trying to make something like this happen.

Yea for some reason I can't date people younger than me too well, but even the same gap but older is perfectly fine for me. Just never had a good thing with someone younger.

life doesn't get worse as you get older, it just changes. No point in really being down on yourself about it. Keep working hard, but dig really deep within yourself and try to identify yourself and the things that matter most to you. Pour yourself into those things and don't cut yourself off from the world.
Best advice i can give you, 26 and also successful here. Keep at it, dude.

>>723207429

That sounds like a neat idea. Britfag and I'll be moving to a new city in a few weeks time. I should probably look for things to do.

It sounds sad as shit, but I've always been a loner, but a happy one. I've enjoyed my work and always just kinda been content being left alone. Socialising is easy, maybe I'll feel more of a need for it when I get older. The pressure from my family to just find somebody is unbelievable.

>>723207655

Thanks. And dubs for decoration.

Since when was 4chan this nice?!

>>723207739
Massive amounts of people being lost in their mid to late 20s and going through something similar have flooded 4chan.

Dude, being a loner is honestly great.

Even all the stuff I've said, I probably go out 2-3 times a month to socialize at max and I enjoy the pace, wouldn't even mind if I didn't go out a month. I always feel that life will fall into place if I do good. I'm pretty optimistic.

As long as you enjoy your own company and are content with it, who are you hurting, you know?

I also have roommates that have been my good friends since high school, so that helps, we just enjoy hanging with eachother.

If you are comfortable being alone, you are doing WAY better than most people. Keep it up.

youre roleplaying on the internet... even playing video games past your mid 20's you look like a loser.
What does the car and a business venture have anything to do with youre isssue of being old and online roleplaying?

I've been here 9 years, just didn't post much until a year or two ago.

I often wonder just how many people are on this site and how it's population has grown since it was created.

Never tried to look it up though, lol

>>723206350
I feel like you're really, really really keyed in to society's expectations.

>The ratio changes slowly and my accomplishments get less amazing each year.

No, the intrinsic value of your accomplishments stay the same, just not as many people are patting you on the back. You still accomplished something and it has the same value as if you had been 20 and done it. You're looking for vague, media created cues to tell you what you should be doing about yourself and what to think of yourself. Get over this.

You feel like getting hammered? Get plastered motherfucker. You wanna hit the club and pick some skanks up? Do it. You want to start a rock band? Go for it.

You want to start looking for someone to settle down with? Do it. You don't? Fine too. You want to watch Netflix all day? Go for it. Just make sure what you're doing is what you want to be doing.

I appreciate the sentiment. I can also take or leave sex, generally. A friend once told me that's why I usually get girls. I don't particularly care if they sleep with me or not and they feel relaxed around me. My dating experience has just been spending time and money doing nothing productive with a girl for the purpose of not being alone, which for me is no big deal. It's fun but my God is it a waste of resources.

>>723208437

Damn, that strikes a chord. You're right. I guess I've been surrounded by people who judge my accomplishments based on what age I achieved them. You're right, who gives a fuck.

Going out with ppl your age won't help. I have the same thing. Just keep young friends (and get a 10yo younger gf). Save some money and move away from people and to material things. Cars bikes houses. Keep a few close friends but don't go live a standard life. By the time you are 35 you are ready to have 2 kids and a whole new gate opens.

But...nobody is interested. Just accept that you're getting older. Thing is, if you don't accept it, the years will just pass by faster

Bro, I'm 28. Will be 29 this year. I don't feel old, but I have to accept the fact that I'm not young anymore too.

Thing is, a lot of today's young people have this sort of Peter Pan syndrome. On one hand, media and our culture is praising the youth, and everyone is trying to stay young for as long as possible. And on the other hand, big things in life are pushed back - for guys, it's kinda standard to get married and start their careers in 30s rather than 20s now.

I just hate the fact that, even now, things are starting to slip away. There's this girl I like, and I didn't try to hook up with her simply because she's 19. I would look ridiculous. Same with festivals and certain bars, I'm getting too old for that shit. I have to be mindful of what I eat and drink now. Hairline is receeding. My gut is starting to get loose for the first time ever.

Like some anon said, it's not worse, just different. I have a job, and my a roof over my head that I don't share with anyone. I'm starting to think about my future and for the first time ever, want some stability and long term stuff.
It's not netflix and chill anymore, it's dinners and commitment.

>>723209443

Thanks for sharing man. Sucks about the 19 year old, but you're right.

I got the place and the job prospects... perhaps I should think about some commitments...

It sounds as if the only way the passage of youth and time is affecting you, is other's opinions as time ticks on.

Why the fuck do you care? You own your own business. I would have thought that someone with the smarts to make it in the world would have been enlightened along the way to come to the realization that what people think doesn't matter one bit.

Who gives a fuck.

No matter what you do, just try to enjoy it. And if you don't enjoy it, ask yourself why you are doing it. If you can't answer that, you are probably doing the wrong thing. I've also had gone through the same issues. Now I'm at the end of 20 and having regrets for things I haven't done in my life. But you know what? Life isn't over and I'm still young. All my life I've had insecurities about myself. Now I'm quite successful in what I'm doing and I don't have those insecurities that much anymore. It's just the attitude that you have to change. Once you've changed your attitude, you start enjoying life more. Not giving a fuck about anything except myself, is the best way for me to get a clear mind and not being worried about anything. Cut the people off, who you think you don't benefit from. Getting new friends can change a lot. Women like it if you don't give a shit. It's a win-win-win situation. Getting chicks, getting better friends and enjoying more life. Just make your life an adventure and don't follow the crowd. Otherwise you will just become exactly what you are afraid of.

>>723211006

You'd think so and, as much as my skin has toughened up being an entrepreneur, words still hurt and, from the wrong person, they can hurt a lot. The last business venture went well, but not fantastically. I'm going to rent a flat in the same town as some friends. One said to me over a phone call "you tried this little idea, you've had your fun, now it's time to grow up and get a real job." I've known the guy for a long time and it was a little hurtful.

A lot of people don't understand what I do because it can't just be packaged into a nice little phrase like, "Oh, I'm an accountant" or "I'm a doctor". People either think I'm some high finance button pusher or give me a pity look like I'm broke and pretending its self employment (neither of which are true)

Perhaps I just need to work on giving less of a fuck, even if it's internally.

You're not a loner.

Get the fuck out, normie.

>went back to University

Why do you faggots keep saying this and "uni?"

I went back to college is the correct phrase.

>>723212965

Because I'm from England and that's what it's called here.

Here I went back to college, then went back to University.

British girls are sexy.

Do they like black American guys?
