Try to do online games with my best friend once a week, I do jams with people in public once or twice a week, will probably be dancing in some capacity once a week, and I’ve got a second date coming up soon. Then there’s weekly D&D, of course, and any of the unique plans that come up during the week.
Of course non of that stops me feeling sorry for myself when I have even one day where I lay around and do nothing but I try to just let the feeling pass instead of worrying about it too much.
57, almost never, it’s mostly family and work. We do have parties about 2-3 times a year that include whoever wants to come, that gets some friends. But really almost never, family got so big that it’s a big network of people and that’s most of our entertaining.
Do you not have hobbies? Not even once a week or month?
All the time.
Im broke, once a month or every two months, can’t relate to my back home friends after moving back, my college friends are very spread out, we still meet up for raves, they meet more often, I can’t make it as much
I miss just hanging out at houses and saving money, now that there is always a fat gap there is always a need to do some event
I’m 56. I hang out with 5 to 6 friends 10 times a month on average. Mostly to play tabletop games. Sometimes I meet one or two for lunch.
Once a month, when I lived in a place where I resided for multiple years. Now that I relocated and I know literally one person in a non-work capacity, once a quarter probably.
What friends?
I’ve got one friend who’s super social but doesn’t have many friends herself, so she tries to see me almost every day. Realistically I probably see her 2-3 times per month. Other than her, I only really have two friends I hang out with in person. Each one is probably once a month or so, maybe every other month. I’ve also got a friend I like to play games online with, that used to be a weekly thing one time but we haven’t played together in a few months. I’ve got a little bit of time off work right now so I should probably try to hop on with him before I go back.
If you count discord, just about every night. We have a whole list of things we rotate between from movies, games, and brain rot videos.
In person, once every few months. We get together for some holidays, events, etc.
The big fall off is around 28-30 when most people are committing to families. After that you’re lucky to see them once and awhile.
once in a while
👍
Most weeks I go out and see a friend at least once. I prefer to go out twice a week though but I’m still establishing myself socially in a new city
I’m 31. The secret is hobbies and finding ways to make them social and actually making plans to hang out with friends. You can just invite another couple for dinner, or host a PowerPoint or board game party. Seriously ask yourself if you have friends who might be interested in a Halloween party if you don’t have plans to attend one.
I’m 48. I have a few buddies that I rarely see in my hometown. I travel once or twice a year on a city break to drink and eat with a few old pals.
But yeah, generally I don’t not hang with anyone outside my own wife and kids and extended fam. This isn’t through choice, it just seems to be the way things have gone.
30 here and all of my friends are people I met online. We chat every day, but only see each other for a weekend every few years at a convention. My friends are all younger than me with some finishing up college and others just having full time jobs. None have a wife and/or kids though (hell I’m the only one in the group with actual relationship experience with only 1 other having experience in just random 1 night hookups).
I see friends every weekday when I walk my kids to school and whenwthe kids have playdates, and when I take my kids to the school playground on the weekend. And on bowling night once a week, and on band night once a week (but I don’t go every week). Also I’m married to my best friend.
35+, many times a week if you count discord and gaming. Otherwise maybe once every six months, unless you count sports, then maybe once a week on average.
