Meh. . . it kills time. Girlfriends just drain the $$ supply. The only reason I'd want one would be for rodeo games. Hookers are cheaper.

a girlfriend might be cheaper than spending the money on liquor.

you can get drunk and pass out for $5 if you're smart about it. haha.

Exactly. And liquor never talks back.

haha fair enough. Can you have sex with it though?

and i dunno why everyone thinks women are so expensive. You really dont have to spend alot on a girl when your dating her. Maybe a present every now and then and some dinners but heck, shell pay for half the stuff too if she is cool.

For some people, the bottleneck is wide enough
ROFL

I guess you could use liquor as lube for teh fap, but that might hurt a bit. Of course, my "bottle neck" would always be sterile. That's a plus for the times I use it to perform surgery.

Even better, I'm 26, single and just moved to Tempe where I know absolutely no one :p I went from the auto show industry where I had tons of friends (many of them attractive women, single or not) and had something to do every night.

I've only been here 2 weeks anyway and I'm not really complaining. If I still don't have anything going on in 6 months, then just shoot me :p

Depends on the girl. You generally do go out more often when you have a gf than when single - even if you're only paying your half, it's still more expensive.

It really depends on what sort of girl you date. Some are high maintenance and others are much more level headed, others just f0cking crazy.

Current gf is awesome.

And as to costing money, you don't have to go out out, you can go for walks in the park, chill at home watching some dvds or do it like monkeys.

get home from work around 6:30-7, spend an hour cleaning, cool dinner (if necessary), and watch tv till 9:30 or so. at 9:30, I log onto my desktop computer, play World of Warcraft till 12-1 am, watch an hour of tv afterward (TDS/Colbert), read in bed till 2-3 am, go to sleep, and wake up again at 9:30 am to start the whole thing all over again.

I go out with my friends on the weekends and the schedule is dramatically altered if my so is in town (long distance relationships FTwhatever)

I've started going out with coworkers. So far, we've taken one of the new model boats out, gone kayaking, gone for sushi and sake (I work for a Japanese company, the people I go out with are Japanese), and have many other excursion to restaurants, bars, clubs, and the lake planned.

It's really a blessing to get off of work at 5, walk 300 ft to the dock, and take a fully gassed up boat out for a few hours.

Nothing at all... damn I need to start doing things. I don't get home from work till after 7pm most days then I just sit around on AT forums/dick around on the internet, then it's 9 or 10pm, so I break out some beers, watching TV shows or a movie on my computer, then try and get to bed before 1am. On the weekends I don't do much either.

Basically I need to do stuff on outside (want to go hiking and whatnot), meet some people, play more PC games, and finally get around to buying house stuff and furniture. But unless you aren't right up on that shit, there is no time. Here I thought I'd get a master's degree while working. Eff that! ;)

Actually I need to get off this damn computer. I spend the entire day at work on the computer unless I need to get up to talk to someone. Then I come home and put a good 4-5 hours in on my own computer. Nice. :eek:

Hey, that's me!

I don't do all that much usually (besides browsing the 'Net); I've been watching lots of Star Trek recently, looking at houses, building a nice stereo amp, riding my bike and running for the most part.

Hang out with girl A or B, go out with friends (to a bar usually), hit the gym, cook dinner, play video games, watch movies, or any combination there of - I do live in a college town so that definitely makes life easier.

If you're evenings are really that boring then you should really look into getting a roommate or two. In your 20's having a roommate is not that bad and at that age if you aren't in a serious relationship living alone is a real drag, unless you have a lot of friends around.

I'm a student but I pretty much have a 8-5 job in clinical resaerch right now

Most of the time I schedule something with my friends. Could be something low key like goiing for a beer, dinner etc. Or I might just go home and hang out w/ my gf. Sometimes we go see a movie. Most of the time we just sit in front of the tv while I do some more work on my laptop. Usually asleep at about 12.

All this is totally flipped upside down during school though

I've run out of ideas on what to do. None of my co-workers are proactive about getting together for a sports game. How do you spend your time?


I've been womanless for a while now and it's actually kind of nice. I'm probably a loser for it or something but whatevs.

After classes and work (full time each), I play poker, watch MMA, do some gaming, and nef on ATOT. Sometimes some of those are done with friends, sometimes alone (PokerStars.net, online gaming, etc). Napping and just being lazy are also factors. Also, drinking myself to sleep is good fun and common.

I work evenings so I usually come home after midnight and get right on the computer... screw around on here... check my investments and see how much I made or lost for the day... chat with my late night or west coast friends online. I just switched to working four 10 hour days so with three days off hopefully my social life will improve.

I work for a bank, so usually I'm home by about 6ish most days. From there, I eat dinner with my parents, try to exercise my beagle because she's a monster, and then either play guitar or browse online if my fiancee is working.

Haha, same.

If my friends aren't busy we'll usually do something (park, frisbee, hack, whatever) but other than that I'm at home on the computer usually.
