At what age does a person stop feeling the singles/ twentysomething bar-club scene?

I am 31 and I went to one of those types of places downtown in a lage Florida city this past weekend. Everyone in the pubs on the downtown strip appeared to be in their early-mid 20’s and alot even looked underage. Everyone was packed into these bars as tightly as sardines. Seemed like alot of frat boys, jocks, and emo kids hanging out. Some pseudo intellectual types were crowded around the trendy spots too. Nothing has changed with the types that hang out (except for these weak looking emo kids with feminine haircuts) but I guess I just got older. I think I stopped feeling this scene around the age of 27 or 28. When did you stop feeling it? I am guessing alot of folks will say, “When I got married and had kids!”

25 was the age ,i found local bars where everybody knows your name ,and you can sit, beat not hearing and blowing a hundred dollars a night.besides people really are single in the local bars as opposed to the party at the club with six of youfriend and there friends

22 and that was WAY before getting married and kids. I couldn’t stand the bar scene- it was like hooker/john heaven- If you can enter the bar drunk, you might be “tuned out” to the atmosphere- but going in cold sober- it is a sad sight to see and easy to get over real fast.
Congratulations to you for ascending from the abyss!!!

When I stopped drinking. Then I realized how truly bad an environent to meet people it was. There’s nothing fun about yelling over loud music to pick up a chick.

The first time around 23 or so. Burnt out on the whole club thing.
Came into my own around 28, and tore it up. That time I stopped feeling it around 32 or so.

no. i never really “felt” it. it was never really my kind of thing. i’ve been to a couple of clubs but found it kind of dumb. i’m 25 and married now and have a kid, but my end to that type of entertainment did not happen when either of those happened. i’m more of a quiet place kind of person.

I was over the bars/clubs at about 23. But I started partying at 18 in Mexico and then I had a fake id, so I might have been over it a little sooner than others but I think I did my fair share!

Right after I graduated college at 22 or 23. I found it boring then and find it boring now. Too noisy, can’t have a decent conversation. To me people are mostly there to drink. Which gets old and expensive. I would much rather invite friends over, make dinner and have a great bottle of whatever wine we want and enjoy their company, instead of returning home with my ears ringing.
