Another thing that sucks about getting older....

[Ryo_Hazuki]

Besides dwindling looks, another thing that sucks about getting older is that you have far less social opportunities, especially once you're over 25.  Everyone's busy with their careers/jobs and around late 20s everyone is getting married and having kids if they haven't already.  You basically get left in the dust.

It's a lot harder to make new close friends because most guys are married and/or have kids or are workaholic incels.  Since you're probably working too, you also have less time to socialize.  And while you technically can make friends with younger guys you might have common interests with, believe me, it's awkward as fuck to hang out with 19 year olds when you're 30.  You'll never be close friends with them, they'll just see you as that older guy they sometimes hang out with.  

And sure, there's plenty of meetup.com groups but even at those an older single male won't really fit in.

While I'm less extroverted and more content with staying home during most of my free time, I'm still nostalgic as fuck about my old friends from when I was in my late teens and early 20s.  It's stupid easy to make (male) friends at that age even as an ugly weirdo...provided you're looking in the right places.

Honestly, that's where a community or hobby comes into play.

Of course no one wants to hang out with coworkers, but if you're into the arts, you end up meeting new people in those circles. Probably hobbyists do as well, like tabletop gamers or model builders, RC aircraft and whatnot.

If anything, it's useful just to trade knowledge. They want yours and vice-versa.

Right in the feels. Over 25 = oldcel

Im brazilian... im 22 and 30% of the people who studyed in high school with me already have children.

 

[BlackPillDealer]

I used to play MMO games, a lot of the guys in my guild were married. They all lived in foreign countries so couldn't really hang out. But it was nice to socialize with them on TeamSpeak.

 

[lostcel]

im turning 22 in a month and have no social life and am trying to catch up, i missed out on having good friends and making good memories when i was younger, is it over for me?

posts like this hit me right in the feels

nah, I did a great deal of shit before 22, but a ridiculous amount after. Just don't get pulled into dangerous situations.

what sort of dangerous situations are u talking about

 

[dr-problematic]

25-30 is the last wagon of social life u can hop into if you have luck and try very very hard, past 30 its social execution

 

[gstvtrp]

I can't cope with those shitty incel hobbies. You're not going to meet women like that anyway.

 

[Deleted member 60]

IME there's a lot of weirdos in those meetup groups too. Seems to attract failed normans of the bluepill variety.

really? Where did you look?

 

[imbored21]

There are a lot of incel men these days tbh. The bigger issue is finding single women.

They're generally very tenuous, situational "friendships". The same as ones you might have with co-workers. It's nothing like friendships you form when you're young.

 

[Alone75]

It doesn't get any better the older you get that's for sure. I wish I knew the answers how to enjoy life more, it's so hard.

 

[Sub8Hate]

As an oldcel I don't care about friends, I want a girlfriend.

 

[mylifeistrash]

Life is OVER for most men by 25 unless you're chad.

Meanwhile a fat ugly femoid can party until her 60s and still fuck decent looking guys, lmao.


Women get at least an extra 30 years of party time vs non Chads.

 

[Homosapicuckus]

Since you missed most parts of basic socializing and mannerism you will always be viewed as the awkward guy also given by your physical appearance most normies will assume you were the guy who were bullied in high school and now try to be "the socializing type".
Women will smell that you're still a virgin just by the way you talk to them by the way you make eye contact and even by your body language. Since your social media game is most likely poor people will assume you're just a virgin loser with no friends, nothing interesting about you so they ghost your presence and never invite you for parties. You will be a social outcast and get ridiculed behind close doors.

 

[CopingGymcel]

If you don't have a social circle by 25, you're never getting one.

 

[Dunarote]

Yes it is true. Luckily all my friends are losers like me so we still hang out cuz nobody is married.

 

[QuantumDummy]

I don't care about having male friends. I don't want any friends in general. People are fake, two faced, and only wait for their turn to speak. I just want some pussy and bjs and I'll be fine.

 

[RREEEEEEEEE]

It's not weird to hang out with guys a decade younger than you. I'm 22 years old, and I have a friend who's 34 years old. But, I do think he shares your opinion, because often he doesn't hit me up, only sometimes. He probably hits me up once a month, or once in two months. He's also hard to reach because he changes his number very often and doesn't send me a text first, so I have to ask him once I see him. I should probably take a hint, but I believe he's a cool guy. He just needs to stop playing hard to get.

 

[blackcel]

You don't need friends, just a woman so you aren't completely lonely. Hanging out with friends and partying is shit for young people who don't know what to do with their life.

Word? That sucks.

I know in artistic circles you end up having your shared hobby being the only real thing you have in common at first, but you start to realize that some those of those people like the same movies and music. Playing in bands, I could meet a total stranger off of Craigslist and they would end up knowing obscure movie quotes.

Maybe it's not like that for other stuff. I was hoping to get into Magic or something to meet some like-minded folks.

 

[Grotesque]

they are never "single"

Indeed. In 2018, if a female says she's in a relationship, she's just not attracted to you.

Maybe, idk. I don't have any friends. I added some kid on Steam last year and we talked while we played a mutual game. Then we stopped playing and never spoke again.

You might be a bit younger than I am and your generation has really taken a hit with technology. I was just old enough to when the internet came about, I had already been forced to interact. It sucked, but you pick up some social bullshit you wouldn't have otherwise.

It's really fucked up dating and friendships, but it might get better.

 

[ropenotcope]

I meet people sometimes through cosplaying. But that is it. And as I grow older, I feel more and more out of place

 

[Kointo1]

This doesn't apply to 30+ year old hikikomori virgins. Just go to an anime convention and a lot of the people there will be in the same position as you. Maybe you might even get the chance to blackpill them.

 

[non_factor]

Tfw you haven't had a friend since the age of 17 and it's about to get much worse.

How old are you? I'm 31. Didn't get the internet properly until I was 16. Feel like I grew up at the ideal time, technologically. The crossover point, just enough to be able to enjoy vidya and porn, but not so much it had warped my mind (at least until late teens).

 

[Oodar]

I've never 'looked' for friends. It was about shared interest, and I share no interests with anyone at this point.

I'm nostalgic for my youth, but all the people I grew up with are dead in my eyes. The easiest part of dealing with this is knowing they all have kids and are stressed out with the horrible family life of modern day while I'm plotting my escape from this dead culture we live in.

But I can't. All the aspens who are old (and young) just sit around instead of expatriating to south America and engaging in point break-esque activities. We have nothing to lose, the women here don't want us, and yet it's impossible for a single person to do something like this without money, street smarts/and or connections.

I have extreme neurotic energy and can't believe other single men don't. It's disgusting for an incel over age 25, especially if they have money, to not live a yolo life with a death wish.
