Late 20's.... I've been going through a cycle recently where I'll sort of settle down for a while, but after a while I'll feel like I'm missing out somehow, that I should be partying and chasing girls while I still can. But after a few months of that it just starts to feels empty and meaningless, and my body feels dull and worn out from too much alcohol, junk food, and lack of sleep and exercise. So I'll go back to a more virtuous life for a while, and the cycle continues... Marriage has gradually been seeming more appealing to me lately. Having someone to come home to instead of just an empty apartment, going on nice vacations together, etc... But at the same time some of my married friends talk about how they miss single life freedom (especially if they have kids). Maybe it's just that the grass is always greener on the other side? I'm curious, what do you married guys think, do you wish you had put marriage off until later, or that it's better to spend more of your younger years with your spouse?

I've had discretion pretty much all the way through (21 now) and have never been huge on partying. While I take care of business when necessary, which pretty much means chasin tail, I've pretty much convinced myself that allowing yourself to be consumed by outside influences proves you to be a weak person.

As another poster said, a good low key evening with people I actually give a damn about (and a good steak/scotch) is a great night in my book.

22 now, and my friends stopped while i was still going. albeit, my partying never consisted of any drinking/drugs but i always wanted to stay out until the sun came up doing high-paced things (dancing, running around, exploring the neighbourhood). i was 20, the last full year that i had free. 4x a week i was out very very late not caring about waking up at 7am for a job. Year after that got a Mon-Fri job, and noticed lots changed. took somehwat of a toll on me and the (then) gf, and it was sad to see those days of summer holidays being crazy til late night hours outside dissappear. the transition turned "too adulty too fast" for me. then all my friends at my other job (ive had since i was 16) started getting "old" in their ways and just either stayed home, or wanted to be home by midnight. THEN my best friend, who always went clubbing with me (6months older than me) said he didnt enjoy the clubbing anymore really, so that was hit #3.... im responsible in my priorities, but i REALLY (already!) miss the days of just living at my own speed and having endless fun

When will I settle down? What year is hell supposed to freeze over?

Im 26 now and am blown away by these responses, "Im 25 and want to have kids", "Im 21 and got all the fun out of my system in high school", etc... God you guys are lame. Why are you so needy? What could you have possibly done at 17 that was so great you never want to do it again?

I consider myself to be settled down, I have a comfortable living, I know who I am, i know where Im going in life, Im comfortable in my own skin and I enjoy being by myself just as much as with people. I am as settled as I can be but if "settling down" means not chasing tail, going out with the boys or doing spontanious shit without the wifeys permission then no, thats not a life I prefer to live.

I have my senior years to live the quiet life pissing into bed pans but while Im young and able bodied I want to spend those years pissing on buildings and my trash can when Im drunk.
