Clubs lose their allure after a few years. I used to spend every Friday and Saturday night drunk dancing at a venue and now I realize how much time I've wasted doing that. Didn't learn anything, didn't meet anyone valuable, didn't contribute to anything but a hangover. People in relationships tend to see even less value in clubbing since they no longer use it as a source of meeting the opposite sex. You should try to get out of this scene as quickly as you can and realize how much more you can do with your time when you're not drunk or hungover. Also Avenue and PhD have become too popular and attract only trashy people these days. The top performers don't lurk in such mainstream venues.

This isn't just a superficial issue because I typically meet the women I date while out with friends. My friends' lameness is having awful negative externalities for my sex/dating life.

Gs2, how old are you and what does your typical weekend entail? I sometimes enjoy being in high energy environments with lots of opportunities to meet new people. I also enjoy dinners and more intimate settings with close friends, but sometimes I find them unbearably stale and boring. You're suggesting this impulse seems immature?

like

Don't think anyone is immature but I think it's wrong to say that someone is boring because they don't choose to do the things you enjoy doing. What you're doing may be boring to someone and they love doing something else just need to find people that have similar interests.

Also, your friends are not boring, they just have different priorities. You're the one stuck doing the same stuff over and over and not moving an inch.

Frustrated my fiancé keeps talking about raising our future kids in the way he was raised. We’re from different cultures. He wants to name them based on his culture, send them to schools with dual immersion in his language so “they don’t get too American,” and has even mentioned moving so they’re exposed to his homeland and culture. Religiously he is fine raising with both our relig but def wants them to participate in some of the orthodoxy of his more so (cont)
