re: Having other single friends in your 30s

I pay for strong $5 and $6 call drinks and get to chill, listen to music, play pool/darts, and talk. I'd never go to a club. I prefer neighborhood bars. You're going to the wrong places dude

this is something I've noticed on TD for a few years now. it must be the south Louisiana bias, but every time this topic comes up it seems like going to bars is discussed way too much. it is as if married people think it's the only thing single people want to do, or it is why they don't want to get married .
I don't get it.
that and people reaching. there is plenty more than those 2 things. but just as married couples don't want to go bar hopping, I don't want to sit around their backyard with their annoying kids. its funny how friends with kids think we should all adore their children.

I'm 29 and married with no kids and am just now getting to the point where on weekends I'd rather cook a good meal or go out to dinner with my wife, go home, have a couple night caps watching HBO on the couch, and going to bed before midnight. I can't do the going out and getting shitfaced with my friends 2-3 nights a week anymore. Its too exhausting and hangovers are getting too bad. Point is, its not their wives doing that to them in most cases even if they blame it on them, its their maturity.
All this, I got married at 27 and we had first child at 28. Did a decade of partying prior to marriage. I don't even wanna go out and get drunk with my wife, why the hell would I wanna do it with a bunch of dudes I already spent 10 years partying with? I work a lot also, would rather spend that time with kids then out with friends. Besides most of my friends are married and my best friend is divorced but has a little child, he doesn't go out much either anymore. Mid 30s fwiw. I'd rather drink at home and fish and hunt with the kids.

one of my best friends is a single guy in his mid 30s
all the rest of us, have families with mostly young kids
he always comes to all of our kids bdays parties and whatnot, and yeah, he always looks pretty miserable
I kinda feel sorry for him, even though he pulls the "but my freedom" card a lot, he mostly just seems lonely

I wouldn't make a judgment on his at that type of function. As a single guy in my 30s, I would also be miserable at a kid's birthday party.

I'll be honest, I like a lot of my friends kids. but I didn't sign up to get exhausted on my days off playing with them. so i understand if they don't want to go to the penthouse with me after the saints game

It does seem that way when you're by yourself around nothing but couples. I get the same treatment when I go to my kids' friends' birthday parties and such. But I'm just really sitting there antsy, wanting to get out.

right, but its more the fact that he actually still comes
but I guess that is what this thread is about...its hard finding other single friends

and I usually only go to a bar about a few times in a month or less.
i'll go up there today because it's an off day. On work days I go right after I get off for happy hour and don't spend as much.
plus the one I go to has gambling pools (especially during football season). So I mean its tempting to want to try and win money.
if anything, that's one of the main reasons I don't spend as much time there when I do stop by. I won the NFL pick'em one week but had poured money into it the year before and didn't win at all. So in a way it was just me winning back my money from the year before and the other weeks of 2016 season where I had lost.

Not necessarily. If his friends don't want to go out drinking til 2am with him, it's probably because their wives won't allow it.
Now if his friends don't want to grab a beer after work, or catch a game on a Sunday afternoon, then maybe it's because they don't like him.

Make sure to spend time with both your friends and their wives at the same time. Suck up to wife, take her side on petty arguments, and help her do the dishes when she cooks for you. Don't talk about all the random strange you're getting in front of her either. You'd be surprised how these things matter. Don't forget to throw the football to the 7 year old in the back yard too...
She will love you, and it makes it much easier to get him out of the house alone.

bar hopping in your 30s may not seem bad bc I guess you never did it in your 20s. I would never intentionally subject myself to that shite any more
I don't know where you live, but in Metropolitan areas the MAJORITY of people in bars are in their high 20's and 30's.
When people say "bars" they don't mean just college bars and night clubs. shite, go to any neighborhood bar in Nola on a Fri evening and there are more old fricks than people in their 20's.
I'm 30 and still love going to bars. Just sitting at a bar, listening to music, and having a cold one is very calming. I do it alone all the time and love it. You don't have to rage like a college kid.

Going to a bar or brewery and having a couple of beers will probably never get old for me. Bar hopping looking to talk to chicks and get drunk well into my 30s+ sounds frickin' terrible.
