Alright so here's what's happening to me.

I am 22, and my whole life has been pretty much normal. One thing I noticed about myself growing up is that I did not follow the typical guy trend, of liking/watching/playing sports, not caring about anything "hand's on work related" such as building/fixing things, working with tools, etc. I never even started drinking beer seriously until about a year ago. I used to workout hardcore also in the gym and keep a strict diet and be fit, until I had an accident where I got hit by a car riding my bike and breaking my collar bone.

Anyways, lately I have been noticing a trend in myself, and I am turning into one of these regular guy guys. I tend to get tired when it's late and pass out. I even slept in a movie theathre last time which never ever happened to me. I like to come home from work and just sit down and relax with a nice meal and a beer. I drink beer quite a bit now, maybe 3-4 times a week, but it's never more then 2 beers at a time.

I still don't watch sports, thank god, who knows what that would do to me, but I have picked up an interest in manual labor and whenever I go to a home depot or canadian tire I find myself walking around the store looking at tools because deep inside my brain I have plans for building a bar in my basement.

I have nothing against the stereotypical male, but I just can't help the sense of change in me, I feel like I am getting old or something. It might also be my job, I work at a school as a teaching assistant, I guess I play a double personality role because at work I act like I am 30 and talk about gay sh1t with the other staff (by gay sh1t I mean stuff like home decorations, stores, other students, other staff, blah blah blah), and when I am done work at 3 I get into my car, turn on some nice trance, meet up with my gf, and play some WoW or CSS.

Diagnose me plz!

I hear you. I'm 23. I used to play bass and guitar in various bands when I was a bit younger, go to local music shows, hang out til 4 in the morning with friends, play counterstrike on the same server every night, etc. I've always liked football, but no other sports.

Something has happened in the last few years. I got married. That was the big one. But I have older friends who have gotten married but pretty much stayed the same. I'm about to graduate. I now own my own home. I have bought a big screen TV to watch ESPN and NFLN on. I've built or remodeled a few things in my new home. I just bought a friggin reciprocating saw. I drink beer, play poker, fall asleep at 11:30 on a Saturday night (sometimes), listen to sports talk radio in the car... I'm getting old, and it bothers me that I'm ok with it. The small part of me that is still a kid is pissed off at the rest of me right now.

are you freaking kidding me!!!? you are 23 and you are sounding like you think you are over the hill!

Age is not just a number. Its a state of mind. Apparently you guy are this way becasue deep down you want to be this way. Don't blame it on the age. at 22 and 23 I was still hanging like I was a junior in college. You guys are describing what I am now and I am 30.

Yup I am the same. I have all these people that surround me who are more mature, established, and just don't do the things that I used to do. Everything is all about going out to dinners (more formal), being civilized. I also find myself spending more and more time at the dinner table with my parents and their friends, actually talking to them, and having conversations. Before I would just eat, and gtfo ASAP, now I sit there and enjoy some of the talking, which pisses me off inside.

I don't have ear hair yet, but I have a patch of fuzz growing on my back which makes me look like a gorilla. It's funny how my hair line is retreating and my hair has thinned quite a bit, but I got this massive patch of hair on my back. I guses all the beer nutrients are hitting that spot.

Oh and up until not too long ago, I wanted a sports car with a manual transmission. Now I could care less, all I want is a nice solid big sedan/wagon/suv with fat chairs, lots of room, and automatic silky smooth transmission (no paddle shifting, too much work).

It?s OK if you can only two fist. I?d imagine that drinking more than that would be difficult unless you could grab and drink one with your toes.

You sound like me. Except I am 25 and still don't drink beer. It tastes like, well, very unpleasant.
But I am just getting older and more tired with each year.

Haha sorry, I mean I drink 3-4 times a week but never more then 2 beers per one of those 3-4 sessions. Or if I drink a euro beer which is half a liter is mostly just 1. But I like the taste and it makes me feel powerful having all those carbs. I also sleep better at night after a drink.

Welcome to growing up.

I'm in bed every night by 10 or 10:30 like an old man these days. I go out maybe one night a week on the weekend now and even then not really late.

And so it starts. Another generation of young men becoming "good old boy's". Soon, you'll look disdainfully on the foolish "young bucks" out partying all night, you'll begin to wonder if George Bush is really such a bad guy after all. And soon enough the defining moment will arrive, the day you look at a group of young people and say "damn collage kids".

i was going to say i hope not, as 21 is the legal age, but then you mentioned Canadian Tire or whatever. What is the age limit in Canada for drinking? Its lower than the US isn't it?
