I’m 25 now, and I get him.
There’s more to life than just meaningless nights out with your old friends.
I have a wife, I reckon I’ll have kids in a year or two. For me to go and get black out drunk with the same people I’ve known since childhood feels pointless.
>>
>>222315797
its fun to binge drink when your a kid but then you start getting pickled and it rapidly becomes bad stuff. you got until maybe 25 to have fun without it being too much of a burden on your body
>>
>>222315797
>feels pointless
It is all pointless.
People only have children by accident or a general desire to reproduce, animal instinct. Its also pointless. Remember your children are gonna die too.
One thing children often give to parents is a way to see the world anew though the childrens eyes. It gives the adult a reason to live, do mundane things and carry on.
Even chasing pussy gets old after a while, it all becomes rather trivial.
>>
>>222315835
I got to past 30s while still having fun.
I am past 40s now and its a real burden where i spend most of my time recovering from drinking rather than having fun drinking.
I still enjoy getting drunk but it has run its course, i need to completely give it up.
>>
>>222315797
You sound like a fag, meaningless nights out with your friends are what life is all about. What the fuck else are you going to do that is somehow more meaningful? Also you don't have to drink to the point of being blackout drunk you moron.

t. 36 yo unc who regularly hangs out with friends every weekend. in fact, we're going to vegas next weekend

You are a boring fag.

Drinking is fun, just don't do it all the time. Humans and alcohol have been together since the birth of western civilization.
>>
>>222315797
I'm more in the shoes of Colin Farrell there. I'm probably still hung up on never having much chance to hang out with friends as a kid. Gone back to uni at 25, made a few friends, but went back to the default state after graduating. Have been jobless and just drinking alone every night for 2 years. It's hard to connect with anyone in your 30s when everyone else this age has their day job and start to have their own family. Hell even the 20 somethings I know are starting to work and got no time to hang out. Last time I was trying to go to the movie with someone it felt like a humiliation ritual having to beg and initiate everything myself. No one even bothered to send a message to check up on me. I've given up at this point.
>>
>>222315797
Nah, life has meaning, love your wife, love your friends, take care of them both, and good luck with your children, we are here for a purpose and I refuse to believe we’re not. Good luck anon, coming from someone who doesn’t have friends or girls that like him
>>
>>222315797
>>222315857
Don't take shots and don't drink on an empty stomach. Preferably mix your alcohol with water instead of something sugary.
Taking shots on an empty stomach makes alcohol 10x worse for you. It literally changes the way your body reacts to it
>>
>>222315835
Nah I'm over forty and the worst hangovers were in my 20s, now I just sleep it off, a headache at worst
>>
>>222315797
sounds like alcohol rather than friends is the problem.

That’s what I’m saying, but they are stuck in the bachelor mindset where you have to go out and get pissed every weekend. I’d love to play a game of tennis with them or something else, but alas.
>>
>>222316174
Part of your culture most likely. I am a bong and binge drinking is a part of mine.
>>
>>222315797
There's definitely not "more to life" after 25. Definitionally how could there be? The human body starts breaking down around 25, and your looks are the first thing to go. This means that EVERY single experience, whether it's going out into the nightlife, or being a father is a worse version of what it was when you were still in your prime.

I dont know why our society and all its people continue to be in such denial of the agepill. But yes, you REALLY do get about 16-28 to do all the "living" parts of life, and then I can tell you there's genuinely nothing else, besides being a provider of services and human atm for your wife who will leave you and kids who will stop talking to you.

As far as 50-90/100 i genuinely have zero idea how to spend all these years you will surely be alone, in some apartment somewhere. When assisted suicide becomes easy and accessible expect it to drastically increase is all i'll say
>>
>>222315797
Blaming your dim-witted friend for the sudden realisation that you've wasted your life is childish.
>>
>>222315797
I'm in my 30s and there's nothing in the world I miss more than getting fucked up off alcohol and drugs with friends.

All my friends stopped partying and got serious in their mid 20s. And that's why I don't even bother to contact any of them anymore.
>>
>>222315797
I stopped trying to make friends when I realised people just don't like me. Which is fine, I find socialising anxiety inducing anyway.
>>
>>222317039
Socializing is agony without being intoxicated.
>>
>>222315797
How is having fun with your bros meaningless? A friend works six days a week and has three kids and we still get together and get wasted once every second week at worst.
>>
>I'm 25 and I have figured out life
Get fucking real. If you're gonna go burning bridges with your friends now you're gonna regret it 10 years later when you're sick of your wife.
>>
>>222317018
Somehow late genxers and millennials think adoolting means being a bore who can't do anything that doesn't imply sacrifice. All I remember from my elders is that they knew how to spend time well and laugh with friends, they were never too old to have fun. I don't know what the fuck made people the opposite way.
>>
>>222317185
Some people want more from life. Others don't get it. That's the point of the movie.

>get wasted
And some people think that time is indeed time wasted
>>
you're still very young bro, don't be such a fag your attitude sounds annoying as hell
>>
>>222317185
>once every second week
Poof.
>>
>>222316174
This 100%, I like my friends, they're interesting and nice dudes, great to hang out with, drink a bit and talk to HOWEVER it feels like every time we meet they just wanna get completely fucking wasted cause thats what we did in our early twenties so now the friend group revolves around drinking, going to a shit club filled with zoomers and listening to terrible music thats so loud you cant even talk to each other. Ive been deliberately avoiding them this year and feel terrible about it.

Why cant we just have a fucking BBQ or something? Do we HAVE to meet at a popular festival where you pay 15 eurobucks for fucking fries and 6 for a pint? Might as well go to a restaurant and have a great meal instead. Or instead of all paying festival tickets rent a airbnb for a fun weekend away. Despite liking them I just know i'm gonna hate every activity they come up with because it HAS to involve copious amounts of alcohol.
>>
>>222315835
Sounds like you're just weak mate
>>
>>222315797
Everything is pointless you dip shit.
>>
>>222315835
You just need good genes. I can have 5 drinks a night and feel totally fine the next day. If you aren’t white you probably shouldn’t drink alcohol at all.
>>
>>222315969
This. The people who disagree are just friendless losers who cope with the excessive toil and use that to gain a sense of moral superiority over people who manage to enjoy their lives
>>
>>222316947
Lol. My life at 35 is much better than it was at 25. Family, nice car, nice house, money, pussy. Feels good man.

Doesn’t family already imply pussy?

Honestly I miss being a single poorfag trying to sniff out bar skanks way more than I thought I would.

Yes. I also have a side bitch because I'm degenerate.

Not my business but I think cheating is pretty awful.

>>222319755
I hated being poor. Being able to spend $200 and not blink an eye is really great. If I need something like fucking batteries I can just buy a big pack and not care at all.
>>
>>222315797
Nah, that doesn´t happen at 25, it does happen, but 25 is too young.
>>
>>222319834
Perhaps I just miss the total lack of financial responsibilities
>>
>>222319787
The wife knows and doesn't like it, but she tolerates it because I'm a Chad-lite and can get away with it. Plus, overall, I'm a good partner. Supportive, provide a good life, quality dick etc.
>>
If you had kids then you could go hang out with your friends while your kids play with their kids. That's what you are supposed to do. No responsible person with kids would go out and get drunk with his friends unless the wife and kids are out of town or something.
>>
>>222319925
>No responsible person with kids would go out and get drunk with his friends unless the wife and kids are out of town or something.
Wut. Do you think men aren't allowed to have time to themselves? Whether that's just getting drunk with the bros, golfing, going shooting, going off roading, hunting etc.

Kill yourself you normgroid god i hate you niggers so much

Being a dad looks fucking miserable. I see these cunts walking around with their doughy builds wearing sunglasses as if they were still hot shit, next to their mediocre looking wives, being made to push the stroller while they spend another boring weekend doing fuck all at the local park. Being single and in your head is what it's all about, that's being alive, which is impossible to do as a dad because in that case, you're just a self-centered prick.
>>
>>222315797
He wasn’t married though. Didn’t have kids either.
>>
>>222315797
this movie came out the same year i ended the friendship with my best friend. in retrospect i should've done it much earlier. he's an evil bastard and all we did was smoke weed and talk about inane stuff. he's also a poltard. also all his friends are terrible people. goddamn, i hate him so much
wish i had good friends
>>
>>222320066
I dont have kids, but i have been through enough hedonism that i would prefer to go to a park over many things, especially spending time in a bar with a bunch if obnoxious shitheads
>>
>>222320066
It's a choice to be fat and out of shape. I'm lean and muscular still.

And it's good to remember that pushing a stroller around, a stroller that is holding your genetic legacy is not at all lame. What's lame and incredibly depressing is guys in their 50's with no kids looking at younger men in their 30's with 3 kids and realizing how badly they fucked up by not having children.

At a previous job I experienced this first hand. Late 50's guy, nice guy, would talk about how he was playing Fallout, I'd also talk about video games, but I'd also talk about kids. Whenever I would he'd get this look he tried to hide but you could see the sheer regret and "it's fucking over" in his eyes.
>>
I just regret not making an actual effort to make friends that shared my interests instead of turning beer buddies into friends. I don't really enjoy small talk and these days I'd rather just be alone than hang out with people to have the same conversations over and over again. Yesterday I hanged with a friend at the pub. He had to be somewhere else later so we staid just an hour there. I'd say 90% of the time he spent talking about work, and I didn't even ask about it. About 10 min in I was completely zoned out and when I left I went for a walk which was more enjoyable.
>>
>>222315797
I have never liked these things though. They always felt pointless to me even at a young age as I am intellectually superior.
>>
>>222320271
I'm not totally against the idea of people eventually choosing to become parents, but it seems like a bad decision while you're still "young", you're essentially locking yourself to this commitment for the foreseeable future when there's so many things to see and do that will never be possible after having a kid. I dunno man, I'm 29 and coworkers around my age who do have kids look miserable and world weary, they seem so ancient and foreign to me whenever they bring up their kids.
>>
>>222320648
Having kids young is ideal. If you have your first child at 24 you'll still be a relatively young 42 when they're 18. If you wait until 34, you'll be 52. And there is a substantial difference between 42 and 52. You also have plenty of energy for their antics.

>so many things to see and do that will never be possible after having a kid
Lol, like what? Heckin' "traveling the world"? Who gives a shit.

I cut ties with my brother in life of 32 of 36 years of my life recently.
He's become a massive piece of shit, the way he doesnt care about his child, or growing up, being a man, doing right by his family and friends. Instead all I kept hearing about is shit when we were teens cause he's always been mad that I am smarter than him and every piece of advice I gave him he just ignored and anytime I told him something was going to blow up in his face it did. So. I have decades of trying to steer this dude in the right direction and him going against my advice and it ending fucking various levels of terrible and at this point I'm just not doing it anymore. It also fell on the time period where I needed him most. I needed someone to be a friend and be there for me as I suffered the loss of three family members and quite quick secession and I was there for two of them. I can go into great detail but the reality is most of you. If not all of you would not read it cuz chances are you haven't read up to this point. There's just so many things that he did and said and people that he prioritized just genuinely being an individual who just treats any normal person with just kindness or dignity. Respect. He's a piece of shit who's been blinded by money and the fucked up part of it is motherfucker has no money because all he does is waste it all the time on things he doesn't use. He's got a business. Well it's his dad's business and like half the time you don't even go to work and that's not like oh man they're profitable. They're not at all. He's losing money every time he's not going to work. People are dropping him. Doesn't seem to bother him. He's a fucking retard. Watches too many podcasts. And insist that he doesn't when all he does is watch tick tocks of people from the business. Manosphere who are for the most part now are in jail. Waiting for their trials
>>
>>222320821
Sounds pretty gay and infantile.
>>
>>222321048
You should be commending me if anything. I've seen my fair share of pricks who hate their lives after having kids and in turn are bad parents. I'm actually aware of that being a possibility and give it consideration instead of handwaving it like so many misreable parents end up doing.
>>
>>222321148
>you should commend me for being childish and cowardly
No?
>but I've seen fags be miserable
So? That's their own choice to be miserable. Taking care of kids isn't very hard. They also probably picked the wrong girl which is their fault.
>>
>>222321148
I do think it's commendable to not have a kid out of apathy or trying to bring neaning to your own life.

Go the fuck outside and stop being a fucking loser on the fucking internet phone. Post more in public if anything. You fucking twerp. Grow a pair of balls. One of the most inspiring things that I ever saw on 4chan was someone responding to some fagot saying that they were going to kill themselves because they had nothing to live for and that person just gave them endless ideas on what they could do. Because if you don't fucking care about what's going to happen cuz you're already going to fucking die and you want to die why not at least do the shit that you were afraid of doing or just do literally anything. And you still feel like dying fucking die. But chances are you ain't going to want to fucking die. If you spend most of your time Doom scrolling and not doing shit out in the public world or whatever interaction you have with people in the internet or whatever isn't people that are close to you, you're wasting your life away so I hope whatever movies, video games and porn you're watching is good because there's a whole world out there that you are actively shunning because you think you're better than everyone else and yet there you are. And in some ways you are better than most of the people who exist in the real world cuz they're shitty people but you're not doing anything. So yeah, if you haven't touched someone's hand you haven't hugged them. You haven't kissed them your sperg virgin go do something about that.
Don't be a bitch. Start asking women out.
No sucks move on from it. Know is a lot better hearing from some girl years down the road that she wishes you made a move on her and now it's too late. I mean your case. It wouldn't be too late unless they were married. And even if that scenario doesn't exist, just never knowing what the answer to the question of. Hey you want to go out or hey you want to do this or you want to fuck? Never knowing that answer is worse than hearing no.

He's a man without a family who will be dead in 5-10 years and realizes he has no legacy. So he blames the only person who gives a shit about him because he's too weak to blame himself.

It is not that you are older, it is more like your friends are older and less fun and now the fun young people want nothing to do with you. Raising a family and building a good career and status is more of a cope for not being young anymore, your drift into death.

Pretty much everything humans visibly do is a cope for disowning themselves and their life.

That's the opposite of cope. Raising a family is one of the only things that matters. Endless hedonism is textbook cope.

If it's any consolation to you they probably feel the same way towards you and their friends as how you feel towards them

Part of adult friendships is making an effort because keeping them up is not effortless like back in childhood when there was no real opportunity cost to hanging out with friends

I used to get nuclear-meltdown hangovers that felt like my guts were disintegrating. I would have to puke right outside my car the next morning just so I could get the endorphin rush to get home and fall into bed and sleep for a day.

I would fucking kill myself. I see them out all the time too. Just imagine wasting away with your fat, old, ugly wife thats the only thing you can fuck the rest of your life (before the inevitable divorce). You get off from work and walk in for your second job and open the door to a barrage of nagging and fluctuating emotions that if aren’t constantly managed can cost you half your shit and your kids. No going out. Can’t do what you want in your own home much less your own life. Constantly monitored and judged for every perceived infraction. Fuck that, I’m having ivf surrogate babies when I’m well older. Every time I see a wife guy I just shudder with the very idea. I have no idea how people live like that.
