You'd rather have 4 quarters than a 100 pennies.
As you age, this becomes more relevant by the day.

You should really try weed.
I think that a lot of older people that appear grumpy have already been threw their drinking and weed phases. There are many other aspects of life that are more challenging to them now, some of them not so rosy, others very fulfilling.

OLDER FRIENDSHIPS /younger days (common convos and passions):
Sports. Women. Wives. Kids. Family. Meeting and sharing same with others. New experiences. Traveling. Still sharing life's dreams, glory & challenges and future.
NEW FRIENDSHIPS in later years:
Friendships are easier to form and hold more significance in your day to day life when you are younger.
When you get older you focus more time on immediate family, aging parents, career, teenaged kids etc and your friends are doing the same.
You simply don't have enough time (or maybe desire) to maintain a number of close friendships anymore. Maybe when you are retired.

We definitely do enjoy solitude, I think you meant, as we age.
We get tired of dealing with people's shite b/c it never changes. Easier to avoid people's shite by enjoying your peace away from them.
With time on this mortal coil dwindling it's not worth wasting it on fools and idiots.
You eigther ignore them or tell them to GF themselves.

As I have gotten older I have learned that having more people in my life just brings more drama and pisses me off so I avoid it. My blood pressure thanks me.

I'm 45... solitude offers me the opportunity to be in silence. Drama free.
By 5PM Friday, I have dealt with a week's worth of BS... Baton Rouge traffic, kids needing things (I'm a full-time dad to 15 and 11 yr old boys) and issues at work...
I've dealt with stupid and terrible people for 25 years... and all I want to do is relax when my off time comes.
Yes! I would love to have a lady, or a lady friend... or a social life.... but I've become cranky and refuse to put up with people's crap.... so...
My boys went away for basically 4 full days over Spring Break.... and I didn't do much. And no one bothered me or disappointed me. I didn't have to make any decisions ... and I didn't have to sit in this traffic... it was peaceful. Re-charged my battery without the help of a pretty, great-smelling lady LOL.... and now I'm ready to finish off the last 5 weeks of school so I can do it all again.... nothing... in silence and solitude.

That and I have limited free time and it’s valuable enough to me that I only spend it with a few close friends. No room for a bunch of “extra” friends.

Why do men usually die before their wives?
Because they want to!

This thread provides a lot of insight as to the demographic on this board. And yes I fall into said demographic.
Posted on 4/20/22 at 4:33 pm to msap9020
Maybe not the demographic.... just people that chose to respond.
At 45.... yea, the title kinda describes me. So I chose to contribute.

I'm 53 and I've been "get off my lawn" since late 30's. I despise most people. Is it too much to ask that people behave like respectful adults? Covid was wonderful btw
Posted on 4/20/22 at 5:27 pm to Daygo85
I think I shave 1 friend off of my regular texting/calling/hanging out routine every single year on average 
I'm over 40 and it's down to like 3 guys. I think that's my sweet spot for the rest of my life.

You and me both. When I went places it was not crowded.

I don't think men grow to enjoy solitude. It's an unfortunate function of aging.
As we all age, our social circle shrinks. The days of high school and college fraternitizing disappear.
We marry, and we then focus on our families as the provider. Getting drunk in the garage with our bros is no longer appropriate (unfortunately).
When it comes to being screwed by my friends, I've never had that problem. I don't hesitate to tell my friends to **** themselves in private, but am always their biggest advocate in public.
Basically, as a guy I find that the best way to be loyal to your true friends is to call them in their bull#### one on one and always have their back publicly

Well environmentally we hardly have any communities anymore like we did most of our existence, and that doesn’t help, but it’s a byproduct of aging, like becoming an adult. It’s not that we learn how to be responsible, our brains/ hormones change, changing our motivations.
