Older misc: Does life go downhill after college? (partying, dating, sex, social life)

[Bonetana]

So far from the misc the consensus I hear is this:

- life after college goes down hill in terms of social life and dating
- in college you are surrounded by beautiful women who are easy, after college you only run into single moms and fatties
- social life is hard to maintain
- parties after college just flat out stink, there aren't many hot girls, hard to get laid, hard to enjoy yourself, etc.

I won't be having a good social life or anything in college mainly because I commute to college (living at home). When I transfer it will only be for my final three semesters or so, thing is I will be too late to enjoy all the partying stuff. I was hoping to move to NYC or Los Angeles but apparently there is no point in being successful or anything because even as a rockstar, apparently a frat guy at a big university will still enjoy better parties than you.

Alright brahs, GET IN HURRR

What do you think?

Life goes in a circle. I started my life going to kid's birthday parties and now i'm going to end my life going to kid's birthday parties.

[Bonetana]

What do you think?

I thought and hoped not. I thought hey, after college you have money to spend, can live where you want, can travel more often, heck it should be fun but apparently not.

[GolfPants]

Short answer...yes

[Issobolic28]

Well, I will be 36 in May and everything gets better after college because you have a job and make good money.

I wish I lived in Canada, I really do.

[bossman3220]

if you end up in the right circle at a big city, parties could be better. who knows

[realronrey]

if you finished the right degree it goes up.

The parties are different. Not as "wild" as they used to be, more hanging out with good friends which is nice.
I go to different bars now, ones with people closer to my age which is nice, there's less people that are trying to fight (though there are still those people)

Girls, I found it was harder to find random girls, as most girls at 25+ start looking for long term relationships. The girls you do find, are usually not just looking for a good time unless they're fresh out of a long term relationship. Though I find many girls around my age that are single are still extremely attractive, just they're not looking for a one night fling usually.

I travel alot now, since I completed college and have a full time job, I have money to do that. Any purchases (clothes, sporting tickets etc..) I dont think twice about anymore.

Party hard from 18-25 ish and then enjoy the change that comes.

That's all my experience atleast, hope it helps.

[maori-rap]

I'm sure it changes but it doesn't have to go downhill. Sure you have more responsibilities as you get older and you can't do the partying/drinking/late nighters anymore as you have work the next morning...but you can still make it good for you.

[arn710]

Not at all

[lolcatzLovecats]

life gets so bad at this age that there really isnt much point to living.

[Bonetana]

I am 19, virgin, never had the one night stand type of life before, can I get it in my late 20s?

[Yeahbudday]

It is what you make of it

[Steak_n_Taters]

I am 2 years out of college and life is pretty sweet.

Hot wife, big house, good job, no debt, good social life.

The party scene definitely drops off and it becomes more about the bar scene, which in Houston and Austin are good.

Everyone getting wasted at someone's house doesn't happen as often, mainly because everyone doesn't live 2 seconds away from each other like in college.

But life is good.

[aceshin]

Yes, that's why you never leave college, ever. Profs got it right.

how do parties after college compare to college parties?

[Steak_n_Taters]

how do parties after college compare to college parties?

Generally more tame and end earlier.

Things like New Years will get wild, it just doesn't happen as often (college it was at least once a weekend).

At least in my circle, more people are coupled off, so by 1-2am they are ready to go home and fuk each other, since they aren't out trolling for pussy (me included).

Parties just don't happen as often, people would rather go to bars.

[engj]

This. My 30's have been like my 20's, just new cars and nicer houses.

You can have some real fun when you have a real budget for it.

Can you find wild parties after college?

say you live in a place like Los Angeles or New York

[ShtUp&Sqt]

1. You don't have to work a full time job and go to college. (at least I had to)
2. You work your job that you love and get paid good money to do it.
3. Find a good women and marry her. No more dating. Smashing a different women every weekend seems fun at the time but eventually you want stability. It's a blessing to marry a great girl and a curse to marry a Biach.
4. Party seen gets old after a while. Sometimes the best nights are at home with the wife watching movies.
5. Peace of mind. I've never been more stressed in my entire life than college. (Work, School, Life....ect)
6. College was fun but I wouldn't want to go back to it.

[fevr]

Only if you let it.

Think college but now you have more money.

If college was totally ridiculously insane awesome bro x9000 super saiyan whatever... then life will probably suck.

But the party scene is still there right?

Absolutely. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, it's just different.

You have to keep your social life alive, stay in touch with people. It helps to live close to downtown in whatever city you're in, or know someone who does so you can stay with them.

ETA: You will sort of grow out of it. Parties become more "grown up." It may seem like the end of the world to you now, but the 28 year old that puked and passed out then pissed himself isn't nearly as cool as he was when he was 20.

[mj53son]

No. I actually feel like I have even more freedom since graduating with my bachelor's. More opportunities are open to you. You have more options. As for partying? I've never been big on partying. I'm sure those of you who get bombed every single weekend will have more trouble finding parties every weekend because people grow up and start working towards their goals instead of getting bombed every weekend.

If you have goals in your life though I think life gets even better after college. It's when you can truly start pursuing some of those goals I feel like.

Edit:

And if your goal is to get slammed and party every weekend, well, seriously man get some actual hobbies. After awhile it's not cool to be that 30 year old guy looking for a good frat party to attend.

[Bonetana]

This.

alright

but how would a wild party in NYC or a party at the playboy mansion compare to a frat party at an SEC school?

[ScubaStevo]

lmfao at all the foreveraloner 19 year olds voting "life gets better after college"

lmfao strong false hope

Everything that you dream of in "real" life is more plentiful and in better quantities in college life. Sure, you may have more money after school (maybe), but it doesn't compare to the college experience.

That's the sad part. I dated a girl in college for a while and going to parties with her sucked because I knew the night would end with her and I in my bed. The bar sucked with her too because girls typically don't like to jump around and dance like retards like us guys. "Getting yucky with the boys" really were the best times I had, and I gave up pusy countless times for it.
