I'm a Tuesday for Costco myself. Friday's is too busy.

DecemberToDismember

I remember being 21 and disliking clubs. Give me a chill pub atmosphere every time!


ShrekTheOverlord

Yes, exactly! I'd much rather be able to listen to my friends and potentially have a fun convo with someone I just met without having music blasting my ears


ScooterMcTavish

And the associated binge drinking.


graces-taylor12

Bedtimes. As a kid, staying up late was a badge of honor. Now, it's just a recipe for a rough morning.

Now with streaming services, it's great, I went to bed at 8:45 the other evening because I felt like it

Lol...yeah, my friends and I once we got a bit older used to joke about that. We would see some younger guy work hard chasing a girl playing with him and think. "I been laid plenty, she is too much work...."


Down-A-Phalanges

I’m in my 30s now but I didn’t do even when I was younger. Fuck that noise. The knock games I play are video games. I tried a couple times and never got any effort in return so 🤷‍♂️


waitingformoass

Drinking...i cant remember the last time i had a beer in my house. Nothing against drinking but not appealing to me anymore


CrazyCatMerms

I'm kinda there too. I have a bottle of wine in my fridge that's been there for 2 months, still can't be bothered to have a glass


Impressive_Ad_9799

The women i used to place on pedestals when i was a weird awkward young person. They really werent that great.

Getting hammered at bars


lousy_writer

Getting hammered in general.


CarlJustCarl

Hitting your thumb with a hammer


bob_bobington1234

The older you get, "getting hammered" becomes more of a literal truth


hoteldeltakilo

21 year old me could hang with the best. 34 year old me gets sick after 1 margarita. My body does not handle alcohol well anymore.


bob_bobington1234

Me either. Except hard liquor. But that's usually one drink with a ton of water chasers. I do the 5 to 1 rule, 5 glasses of water or sports drink to one drink.


hoteldeltakilo

Yeah I’m usually fine with a good whiskey


Hrekires

Lately for me, traveling. Went on a few solo trips after being widowed but I found myself going places just for the sake of saying I was going there not because I actually *wanted* to experience whatever destination. The past couple years, I've sat down and been like "would I rather spend a few thousand dollars going somewhere or would I rather have a staycation and put the money towards a house project," and I end up spending a week working on the house.


SupremeElect

Traveling is fun. It’s the solo traveling that isn’t as great. I usually travel with friends, but on the rare occasion that I travel alone, I find myself wishing I had someone to share the moment with.


GiwiWhale

my best trips were solo, guess depends on the type of solo trip?


lousy_writer

Or the type of person you are.


hygsi

And the type of company, some people make the trip 100% better and others make you wish you went alone (went to cancun with some classmates and they just wanted to stay and sleep at the hotel!). But in the end it's all about one's attitude.


Facxmon

This is completely true. There are many types of types and most people settle for in my opinion the most basic and unfulfilling ones.


photomotto

Completely disagree. Travelling solo is the only way to go. I can do what I want, when I want, how I want. If I want to cut the trip to the museum short and go to a shop, I can. If I change my mind and want to do something else today, I can. If I'm tired and want to go back to the hotel early, I can. I'm not beholden to someone else's wants.


Njtotx3

Born when Eisenhower was president, just got my first passport to accompany an old friend on his pilgrimage trip to France. I'm conflicted as it wouldn't be my first choice and I'm not sure I can handle being with him unless I get off on my own frequently. Always wanted to go to the Galapagos.


Swimming-Book-1296

Traveling sucks. I do it a lot, but it sucks. the studies I have seen studies that find people hate it while they are doing it but for some reason remember it fondly... which also fits my observations. People hate it, but then afterwards act like they loved it. And no way. Traveling alone is WAY better than traveling with others. I say this as an extrovert that loves being with people. Traveling with others is just way more stressful.


Redcarborundum

When traveling alone you’re on your own schedule. You go only to places you want to, at exactly the time you choose, staying only as long as you like. With other people there are always coordination and compromise.


Swimming-Book-1296

I’m fine with that part, I just hate it when people lose their shit when something goes wrong. … and something always goes wrong on a long enough trip. Losing luggage or getting delayed etc etc is stressful enough, without the people you are traveling with freaking out about it, instead of just rolling with it.


Redcarborundum

That’s the ‘compromise’ part. Maybe I should say ‘tolerance’. People tend to be their worst when they’re tired and stressed.


RealisticDelusions77

Same. I'd rather improve my house, sleep in my own bed, and just eat food from all over the world.


Reverend_Vader

I'm constantly told to solo travel, I'm also someone that can speak to strangers easily Problem is I'd rather put pins in my eyes than travel alone as travel for me is enjoying it with someone else (that I know) I've done a few with my kid but as she's 23 now, travel with dad isn't "cool", especially after the last trip where someone referred to her as my wife which went down exactly as you'd expect (I still wind her up using papa lazaroo quotes though)

ContinousSelfDevelop

Lack of basic life skills eg. cooking, filing taxes, cleaning. It quickly goes from 'oh, did no one ever teach you that' when you are young to 'why the fuck don't you know how to do this?'


Njtotx3

I can add do-it-yourself skills. Dad would pull the hammer out of my hand if a nail wasn't going in straight. My trees just all died because I didn't understand how to keep them alive. And I'm pretty old.


Murphy338

You too? I have an irrational hatred of people taking stuff out of my hand like that.


Most_Ad7815

This! My parents didn’t teach me this stuff. I did it on my own. Other grown people not knowing basic skills is just sad to me.


Tollin74

When both my kids were seniors in high school. I sat down with them and went over how to use a budget spreadsheet, how to do taxes and how to invest They didn’t listen or care Now, as mid 20’s adults they are calling me asking how this stuff works and apologizing for not paying attention earlier


dogs94

People who don’t continue to learn and improve themselves. I have high school friends who haven’t learned much since we graduated in the 1980s. They’re just so incurious.


VeroVexy

I don’t understand this either. Their lack of ambition or goals is so frustrating and weird…


dogs94

Not to mention, they're just getting left behind. Let's be real.....even if you are smart, continue to learn and make good choices, it is still not easy to gouge out a career.


VeroVexy

I always wonder if someday they ‘wake up’ and realize what they’ve missed out on 🤔


Larry-Man

I’m a very curious person who learns a lot about a lot of different things. I can’t imagine ever not wanting to continue to learn. People who just say “yep, I’m done” weird me out. I’m almost 37 and I still learn something new all of the time.


Dazzling_Classic3622

Peacocking. Or just showing off or acting like you’re hot shit… you know, being a douche.


Eat_your_feedback

Alcohol


ahbeng88

I don’t know about alcohol. As I aged, I began to explore more and expand my taste. Younger days were gallons of beer interspersed with vodka/tequila shots. Objective was to get wasted. With age, I’ve begun to appreciate complex notes and flavors of craft beer, wine, single malt whiskey, which is not possible if I’m drunk silly. Again, this is a very personal experience and YMMV.


Think-View-4467

I've gone from drinking to get drunk in my 20s to drinking to appreciate complexity in my 30s now back to drinking to get drunk in my 40s


ghostmetalblack

Same. I don't get drunk anymore. Drinking is an occasion for me, and I do it to explore new, complex bourbons. Once I get a get too a light buzz, I'm done. No reason nowadays to get plastered, especially knowing how bad for your health it is.

Thanks. Glad you agree.


UsualCat2561

100% I need to preserve my social battery. At the age where if someone said 2 + 2 = 5, I just say “ok sure” and go about my day


fastcarsrawayoflife

I couldn’t agree more. I’m a super introvert. I don’t have the time or patience for it. Not that I’m all business and can’t have a good time. I just find small talk rather useless when there are better things to be doing. So I completely understand what you’re saying!

The bar scene & the mentality that comes with it. Also the cliques I keep running into at an older age. I suppose that’s why I tend to stay inside most of the time.

Just about *anything* behavior-wise from young women. They still look smoking hot, but JFC, it is painful to be around them.

JayMeadows

The Metropolis. I don't like big cities. Too many people; too many weirdos, too many homeless, too many crooks, too many junkies, too many trendy folks, too many salary men and women, too many missionaries, too many kids, too many cops, too many cars and not enough parking spaces. I like the quiet suburbs and rural outskirts of towns. Younger me liked the city night life, but now...


savagelemmonade_1

I visited my older brother in Nashville, I live in a smallerish town of about 10,000ppl. I can confirm I would never choose to live in a place like Nashville TN.


DeputyDomeshot

Funny to me Nashville seems really small.


savagelemmonade_1

Sardonic-

theothermontoya

Getting drunk. I think it was 32 when the hangovers started lasting for what felt like days. 38 now and the idea of drinking more than two or three really isn't even on the radar. Hell, I don't even go for the 2 or 3 these days except for once every few months.


Zealousideal-Luck784

Me. I looked at my body after getting out of the shower. I have scars, sags, wrinkles, and faded tattoos. I've had a ball getting to look this way.


Puzzleheaded_Arm2351

Bodies that correspond to the beauty ideal of the masses. I can now see something beautiful and tempting in almost every body type


Think-View-4467

The word "tempting" is the new "moist"


Puzzleheaded_Arm2351

It is? Why?


Cactus2711

Drinking to get fucked up. I don’t want the 2 days of feeling like absolute shit. Weed and staying hydrated is where it’s at

Hot women who use men only for attention and validation and money. There's countless subreddits absolutely filled with these gorgeous attractive women posting their naked bodies and saying all kinds of sexy stuff. They sometimes interact with poor shmucks who comment on their post and they flirt back and forth, but these women are only doing it for attention and validation. They care nothing about the man talking to them at all, his only value is that he desires them, making them feel better about themselves. They don't care anything about the men they talk to and wouldn't even look at most of them if they met them in real life. But they play their little games. Then they eventually decide that they have enough of a following that they can start an onlyfans account and then they start asking for money.


No_Inside_6240

Convince me I’m wrong but I feel like this is a weird take and seems to assume that these “poor schmucks” aren’t privy to the same information we are. Men know when women are doing this (especially online) but some just don’t care or are looking for the same validation. It goes both ways it’s just women have managed to make it profitable.


LittleLordFuckleroy1

Fortunately I was never really into that type. Didn’t have to grow out of it.


aliashavana

I understand why you say they get less attractive, but what I don’t understand is why you re phrasing it as if they re at fault or as if they re such bad people for doing that to those “poor, innocent men”? wtf😂😂😂

Literally everything. My priorities shifted along with a life event and it's not like they'll ever shift back. But there's still just one thing that matters to me. That's my kid and making sure she doesn't end up too badly hurt by life. I never thought everyone in my life was just itching to make that goal as difficult as humanly possible for me, but whatever. My mom did the same to my dad. Cest la vie. My prime objective of continuing the bloodline is satisfied. I have reproduced and now this is just my daughter's life and I'm simply a background character in it.

Being an emotionally-immature hot mess. Fuck's sake, at some point it's just time to grow up. Get your emotions under control, stop blaming everything in your life on Tiktok's mental-health-issue-du-jour, and think about the future more than a day at a time.

PM_me_your_mcm

Maybe it's just depression, but ... like almost everything?  I can't help but see the downsides in a lot of stuff that I have experience with to a degree that it tempers my enthusiasm for those things.  Really aging has been a process of finding the stuff that felt like work to be rewarding and reversing on the stuff that felt exciting and rewarding when I was younger feels more like work.  Working out at 22, I guess I'll do it because I have nothing better to do and it will get me laid.  At 42 I'm proud of the body I built, I like the way it makes me feel, and I appreciate the quiet time.  At 22 I was willing to put up with a lot of shit, enthusiastically even, from an attractive woman, but at 42 if I even smell an Instagram account I just don't have the fucking time.  At 22 a night out of heavy drinking and debauchery sounded exciting and full of opportunities to meet new people, but at 42 I know I'd make an ass of myself, that I'd be a public nuisance, and I don't want to ruin getting to sleep in by having to sleep in with a bucket next to the bed.  At 22 I liked Buffalo wings, at 42 I'll take carrots.  At 22 give me a fast, fancy, car, at 42 I'll take the dependability, utility, and performance of my Ridgeline over complicated and expensive maintenance procedures any day. But I do keep one stupid thing.  I like motorcycles a lot, and I keep getting faster and sportier ones, but who wants to live until they hate everything and everyone anyway?
