Why is it that when we hit our mid 30's, 40's we become home bodies that prefer to stay at home and have a bbq or a few quiet drinks with the same people but then get on here to talk to different people or to try find a potential partner. I prefer to go out but I am finding it more difficult to find people to go out whether it be a night at the pub, a quiet drink in a beer garden, or anything else social. I love doing different things but want people who are interested in doing it too. We need to get out and about, learn to mingle again, try different experiences and take chances... You never know what you may find. wow

A: most stop looking for answers in the bottom of a glass, sensible people look within.

The Beatles sang I can't get no...

And I think the answer is none of those.

A friend of mine said about finding peace in everyday life.
The happiness we desire, the suffering we do not want, the happiness we try to get, the suffering we try to eliminate all come from the mind - not from somebody else's mind but from our own.

My opinion- We are very social as teenagers and in our 20's. Then most of our friends settle down and have kids etc., then in out 30's and 40's most will be separated and kind of going out again, but minus the social skills and ease of socialising we had when younger. And of course, most of the entertainment is aimed at the younger audience anyway.
We also carry a bit of baggage generally by then, and basically want all the good parts of a relationship, and are highly sensitive to the possibility of it all going wrong again.
So, by the time folks are my age, they're either a broke and damaged separated father, or the mother of 2-15 kids.

Happy times, at least there's the internet.

I don't mean just out to drink. I want to do a number of things. Have tried to find people for a number of different things. Archery, house riding, movies. I go to the park every weekend to feed the ducks. I have moved to a new town where I only knew 1 person so yes, I am looking at meeting people through different avenues. I do enjoy my own company (I do have a bit of it) and I prefer to meet people in the real world, not just behind a computer screen.

I find that when I go partying now once in a while it takes me a day or so to recover lol as for staying at home on weekends um no not for me, I don't care if I have company or not I will go wherever as long as there are other people there and its safe, only place I won't go to alone is a club unless its ladies night. My advice is go to events that interest you like women focused events...and you will make more friends, worked for me. Don't wait for anyone to accompany you just go out and have fun! join a class, look up events near you.
