Dudes hanging out together looks kind of gay when you get to a certain age. Most dudes will just hang out with their wife's friend's husband when they're all together. No homo.
No offense, but you sound like an insecure, repressed fruitcake .

focus changes from running the roads chasing whores to staying married and raising kids that aren't hoodlums. A lot easier to stay married and not have hoodlum kids if you are home with them instead of out running the roads with your bros.
the key is to have bros that settle down at the same time so that your kids grow up with your bro's kids so you can continue to hang out, you're just chasing around kids together instead of whores.

Some comments really strike true here for me… I am an introvert by nature and was forced to be pretty outgoing due to my career. I am retired now so i am happy with a few close friends and the social events my wife likes and I participate in for her…
I like dogs better than people and I actually do stop and smell the roses or listen to the birds etc on my daily walks… humans are over rated imo.

The older I get, the less I like people.

We actually have this, to a degree. It’s more the moms and kids, and more specifically the daughters. I’m the outlier dad I guess, but I don’t really care for any of the dads of my son’s friends. They’re nice enough, but I just don’t have much in common with any of them. I get along fairly well with a few of the dads of my daughter’s friends. We’ve taken a couple of beach vacations with them. My daughter’s best friend lives a block away and they are always at each other’s house.
All that said, I’m probably the only one that hasn’t made a long term friend in the process, but that’s just my nature. I’m fine sitting out by my fire pit by myself listening to music.

Just turned 60. I like people, meeting new ones, wife and I are social. However I guess I have a high bar for close friends. My close friends I've mostly known for at least 10 years. My kids call some of my guy friends uncle Mike, uncle dave, etc.
I wouldn't mind having another close guy friend or two but most guys I meet are pretty boring. I have a hard time relating to the typical guy who works and watches TV.
One guy I met in the past few years who I call a close friend is my 83 yo farmer neighbor, former heavy equip operator, built his biz and farm w blood sweat and tears. He still ain't afraid of nothing or nobody. That's the kind of guy I can respect and be proud to have as a friend.

This is probably why women live longer as they continue to cultivate relationships.

Well we live in a "frick you, I got mine" type of world. People care about themselves and selfishness makes healthy community impossible. Even if you get together with people it turns into people using and backstabbing each other or constantly trying to one-up one another on their houses, vacations, cars, etc.
It's the symptoms of a materialistic world.

I only need a small handful of friends. I don't need to be out there meeting people and putting up with their bullshite.

Men have shite to do once you are married and have kids. If you want to feel like you're a good dad and husband, you spend time with your family. Your friends become the back burner. If you want friends first, then you won't have a good family. Throw owning a house on top of that. Your time and money are now wrapped up in family and home ownership. That's just what it is.
I'm 34 and fully into my family life. I don't need to be the guy with 400 friends. I need my small group that I talk to a few times a week. I enjoy my little projects that occupy my time. I enjoy cooking outside, sipping a cocktail and having that downtime. But everyone is different.

I'm at the end of my working life and my money is made. With that being said, I don't have a need for small talk. I would rather spend the time with loved ones. Opinions of others don't interest me. I don't need unsolicited instruction. I think people put to much time into talking about themselves, and I'm not particularly interested in most people. Yes, I'm grumpy. Get off my lawn!!

I'm right there with you. Being cranky is awesome.
Scowl a lot, too. Folks expect that.
