I was just wondering who were part of the older generation of EAs
Please post
How are you finding your adulthood? What are your interests as opposed to when you were younger? Have they changed or stayed the same?

And if Z and you feel like other ppl your age have matured and you two are stuck in the kid mentally then that is my point exactly. Boo.

Just wait until you get where we are before saying anything. You have no clue what we're talking about, so your "opinion" is pretty much meaningless. Get off my lawn, kid! We're not acting immature. We're just saying that having a social life is harder once you get older. Friends you've known for years get married, have kids, and disappear. People aren't running in the same circles anymore, all bundled together like in school. Cities get bigger, where people are spread from each other. Careers require you to move from anyone you know. Things like that. As for marriage and family, I don't know how it is in other countries, but in the US, people have this tendency to get all solitary once they take that step. It probably goes back to that nuclear family nonsense (which has really only been a trend for the past 50 years). It's like, for some couples, it's as if there aren't 6 billion other people in the world to interact with. Just one other person -- named Yoko....Who's sole purpose in life is to break up the Beatles. Ahem. Heh. Seriously though. It seems to me that back in the past, before there was a "nuclear family" concept, people didn't deal with this much. People had themselves, then their families, then the "village" as a whole. Everyone still socialized together. But nowadays, the village has been burned to the ground. Bottom line: There is nothing "immature" about wanting a social life. It is fundamental to existence.

You guys just have sucky-sounding lives, it's not a consequence of age and it's not too late to do something about it.

I didn't say that I didn't have ANY social life. It's just different. If you get used to fun every day, it's hard making the adjustment to fun every couple of weeks or so. Sometimes I still hang with old friends, but I learned you gotta keep moving on years ago, and make new friends.
It's not possible for me to have THAT boring of a life though. You're barking up the wrong tree.

Nah I just love watching whiners squirm. People love to throw around the old "oh dear I have no social life because I'm far too busy with grown-up stuff!" excuse as if we should give them a fricking medal, but then take it all back when you call them out for having no spark in their lives. No wait bro, I do have a social life actually! I mean, I just meant like, I used to party every day but now I party every other day! Losers.

I feel like I've hit my stride. I love going to work in the morning and I keep myself busy every weekend (with a few lazy Sundays thrown in for good measure). It's so nice to have a steady income, I don't really miss the student life.

I'm a few years off of 40 and I have to say things keep on getting better... Although my health is gonna start decline soon, no doubt.

No wait bro, I do have a social life actually! I mean, I just meant like, I used to party every day but now I party every other day! Losers. I read this article a couple of days ago that said, our generation is alot more stressed and unhappy than the previous generation of baby boomers. It said this is because we tend to not savour our achievements as long and to automatically look to the future for what we should be doing next (ie. we get bored fast), whereas the previous generation enjoyed the pleasantries more, and tend to appreciate the "now". I think this is true. In our generation we tend to care alot more about what is going to happen, rather than just enjoying what's going on today. Take each day as it comes people! Appreciate eating at that little hidden noodle shop with your friends down the alley and those times you drink cheap asian beer. Forget about your future mortgages, where your business is heading or if someone's gonna bomb someone over petrol. It's the small pleasures that make life worth living! and sex.

Lol, wtf? Yongfook, point on the doll where the bad man touched you.
Seriously, not sure why you're trying to troll me. Or why you feel the need to interpret things to such extremes. You can feel good about yourself without trying to take to a dump on people, y'know. It's possible. Get some class, hombre.
