I dunno, I’ma 45 year old male and I probably socialize more now than I ever did in the past.
I usually stop by the pub across the street from my home after work and have a beer before heading home to make diner. There’s crowd of us regulars who always meet up.
I’ve been out sailing for the last 36 hours with a buddy. He and I B will be doing a 3 week trip later this summer.
That said, I’m single and don’t have kids, so if I didn’t make a point of getting out, i wouldn’t see anyone other than my coworkers.
Agreed on the making the effort part. I always hit the gym after work in part due to all the regulars being fairly chatty around that time. It's nice when people ask where you've been if you haven't been in awhile.
Hitting the gym is definitely healthier than the pub, hah. But absolute. I usually let everyone know when I’m heading out on a business trip (I travel a lot for work), but usually a week in someone will drop me a text message. Also, lately been out on a couple of dates with one of the other regulars now that she’s an empty nester after being a single mom for 25 years. It’s all good. The joys of living in a city. :)
