All my friends are old and have kids or exhausted from crappy jobs.
... Time to move to Spain. Or probably back to Hollywood.
-
You just need new friends. We're the only ones that are married and nobody has kids. Me and my one girl friend are the youngest out of all of our friends at 24. They're all 26-28.
They all have good/decent 9-5 jobs. Well... not all of them, but most of them. So weekends = :elephant
-
I'm 28, have a good job with a lot of free time, and no kids. Let's hookup
-
OR I could just move back to Hollywood, where all my friends don't have kids (nor want any) and watch films and party and drink merrily.
-
I just turned 20 this year. Feel like shit. Hope to make a change this year.
-
20 - 21 was the best time of my life, in retrospect. It's all be downhill since that 21st birthday during college Spring Break in the Caribbean.

For the most part, same here. Lots of partying, worked a lot (but did a lot of drinking & making money), meeting my husband and all of our great friends. Since then has been awesome in some ways and awful in others. :-\

You should probably kill yourself, Borys. End it now.

:lol Yeah, I didn't realize so many of you were near 30. I think Prole might be old enough to be my dad.
-

Near 30? :gloomy
Although, I'm enjoying these years more than my mid-20s. Back then pretty much everything was about drugs, and to some extent work. Much more chilled these days. Early 20s were pretty awesome, though. Ireland, Australia, and I even remember most of it.

This will be Willco in a few years:

Hah well I knew some of you were pretty far up there, I just wasn't aware it was this many

Move to a place with old people. Then, you'll feel young.
-
Exactly.
We're young and virile! We're not meant to settle down!
-
Are you people saying I am senile? huh!? That I can't hold my shit in anymore too?

WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH. man up, pussies!
-
im in my early 20s
excuse me while i pop my collar and brush my shoulders off simultaneously
-
30 in under three years. and have done absolutely nothing with my life, despite being supposedly promising at a young age and all that. oh well.
-
Mid-20s angst! :rock
All my married friends have disappeared off the face of the fucking planet. Most other friends have moved off to all corners of the country. Damn me for making friends with cosmopolitan folk with varied and fascinating future career paths.
I do have an opposite problem from you, though, Willco. My early 20s sucked ass, relatively speaking, so I find myself wishing I can create such awesome experiences before I embrace being all mature and shit and get married and have kids.
Yeah, I got issues. :-\ :lol
-
re, hey, you and me both. on the other hand, most great work comes from rather unexpected quarters.
-
Beats being in your early 30s.
-
I can't wait till I'm 30 then it will be only like 50 more years before I die.
-
WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH. man up, pussies!

Single life is starting to wear thin. After having sexual relations with a few girls a week, for several months,
Bastard!
And guys, never, ever complain about not being able to get dates. Dating is the worst fucking thing ever.
Seriously.
You shut your filthy whore mouth. :punch
-
You should make them try an fall in love with you and then dismantle their psyche day by day reverting them to a basic animal like a dog or some such, where they simply follow your orders.
That's be interesting I guess.
-
Yes then you have the same problems coming back. If you move somewhere else new entirely for the next few years then maybe not.
-
ITT young adults realize that their social life isn't as fluid as it was in school, and regret seeing the old groups broken up by careers and kids. I sympathize, but whaddya gonna do? Book clubs, cooking classes, and internet forums from here on out!
PS mojo's post totally reads like Seth Starkadder's introduction speech to Flora Poste in Cold Comfort Farm.
-
But yeah luckily I'm not old and boring enough to know what, 'Seth Starkadder's introduction speech to Flora Poste in Cold Comfort Farm' is :smug

CCF :heart

This is how you fall into the trap of marriage. All your friends are married and gone, so you feel compelled to get married so you can start doing "couples nights" with your married friends.
Find younger friends.
-
When you get to be my age, some of your friends will have already gone through more than one divorce, and have kids spread across a couple of marriages. So you go through this cycle of newly divorced male friends wanting to go out and party down and act ten years younger than they are every night, now that they are "free men." You'll also get a lot of calls from past female school acquaintances, just off a divorce and remembering that cute guy who used to make them laugh back in class, the one they almost had a thing with but missed the opportunity, etc. As long as you keep in mind that the recently divorced are almost always temporarily clinically insane, you'll have a lot of fun there. You'll also have to listen to a lot (a LOT) of one-sided accounts recalling shitty marriages, wherein the storyteller is a veritable saint with a glowing aura of divinity and the opposing spouse is portrayed as not unlike Regan from The Exorcist.
So, yeah, I'm never getting married.

My 20's were awesome, and so far my 30's are pretty great too. 8)

Sounds similar to me, but my late 20s were fantastic. Didn't mind too much that people moved away and got married etc... it ended up making my decision to do the same much easier.
Only problem is now everyone in my family younger than me is getting married and now everyone asks when I'm going to be next. :-/
Agree with the be thankful you don't have to date. The only thing I miss from dating is the excitement of not knowing if your date is a psychopath or incredibly insecure.

It's true! The jadedness thing is just to fit in on the internet.
