How Often Evening “Outings”?

Assuming, but not limited to, couples age 40+ish (frick I hate getting old, but frick it), how often do you go to outings, events or something involving interaction with people other than immediate family?
And to what degree (like strangers, friends, general public, etc)?
Just trying to calibrate “normal”.

How Often Evening “Outings”?

About nine times a year. That’s about three or four grand a year after it’s all said and done.

Well, does this include working out with a group? I swim with a masters swim group and it is very social. But wife and I go out at least once on the weekends but half time it's just her and I. But I'll talk to someone at the bar if they are inclined

I shower with other men daily but a dinner or something is few and far between.

Ya know, I originally envisioned bar or party type scenarios but no, no reason to limit it.
Just basically going somewhere and interacting with a group of people.
Another explanation: I’m realizing we don’t do this very often and wondering if it could be a bad thing.

My wife and I get together with a group of friends about twice a week.
Hikes, concerts, botanical garden, lunches, Top Golf, overnight trips, museums, etc. etc.
Retirement is great!

See I would consider that very busy! Damn seems demanding but very fun. Really.

Mid 40s average once a week
But I’m a day drinker so counting those it would be more

Hardly at all during that period when kids weren’t old enough to leave at home.
But now, mid to late 40s… we do trivia/bingo at a brewery with a big group of friends. We will either do a firepit with friends or watch a game, etc. So on average 2 nights per week but sometimes the wife and I might grab a bite too.
We are making up for lost time. Over a period of 15 years, we barely had an adult night or really even a weekend off.

My SO and I try to have date nights once a week but sometimes it is just twice a month.

Well, I'm not 40, but I'm 34 and my best friends are 40, 43, and 42. Husband 43.
Schedules permitting, we are out and about on weekends, but also old people and usually home by 11 or so at the latest if we even make it that late. Occasional weeknights, but when I say out I mean like 4:30pm dinner and 7:00pm drinks. Try to keep weeknights to a minimum.
Sometimes it's a "start at 11am" type of day, but just depends.
Events, too freaking often. Sigh. I've cut out all the ones I hate, but there's just too damn many. Can't escape it.
Exactly. My answer is low of only late nights. High if you count daytime.

Dinner 2x/wk at a restaurant w immediate family/spouse. I’d say 1-2x/ month for an “outing” with friends, family etc

If I can go through a day without interacting with another human (outside of family & friends) it's a good day.

My ex-wife and I used to hang out with a couple once a week. We’d go out or hang out at one of our houses, swim in the pool, etc.
I guess that’s healthy? But he and my ex now live together, so maybe it’s not.

About every other week we hang out with or go out with friends.

frick normal. If you are asking, you clearly don’t want to do this shite at all.
And you shouldn’t have to.
Do just enough to keep yourself and your family happy. That’s the answer.
