How often do yall actually see your friends nowadays?
Talking mostly to post grads, nearing 30 or 30+
me, I probably see friends once every 3months fr. but, it’s definitely no love lost and I like it that way. I speak to them often tho
We typically hang out via group chats and online parties. Hard to see people these days at 30+
I haven’t hung out with all the people in my group in some time now. Usually it’s 3 out of the 4 of us, someone’s always working, can’t make it out, etc.
Real sad because during COVID we practically lived together lol. Went on trips all the time, fireside nights daily, now we’re lucky if we get out once a month.
Just comes with being an adult. I got married, one of us is constantly traveling all around the world, one of us is a workaholic, and the other just got an apartment an hour away from all of us.
Sign of the times I guess.
I really miss my friends.
I usually set up reasons to kick it with my friends, concert, basketball game, cookout, etc.
I say we get together around 5 times a year

Agreed, group chats always popping plus a lot of us moved to diff states so it’s hard to get together

A lot of homies including me getting married so a lot of reasons to celebrate and link up. One of my homies also had his first kid so that’s the new nephew
I appreciate my lifelong friends and don’t trip off of the time not spent seeing each other I mean tbh back in the day we’d just be walking the mall or something like not really missing out on much comparatively
My two best friends;
One I haven’t seen since Dune 2 came out lol, he basically dropped us after getting in a relationship (I am bitter)
The other, not since fall last year. he moved to LA, but I’m gonna head up there in the coming months
My other close friends either got married and had kids or married, had kids, and moved
I’ve only got 2 single friends left. We hang every now and then. I’ll go hoop with one maybe once a month, and sometimes maybe every other month the 3 of us will do something on the weekend
If they 30+ and have kids, it’s a wrap
If they’re 30+ and no kids then the best way is to involve your significant others with double dates, game nights, etc

couple times a month but we talk on the phone a bunch
some friends i see like about twice a month, others once, others a few times a year. it slows down during winter and picks up during summer
Ive honestly enjoyed hanging with people who have kids more than single friends tbh
My wife is better at initiating friendships with parents but im usually good at leading activities for the kids
Im honestly at a point where if my son can’t pull up, I ain’t tryna to be there
A lot of my day one friends fell off when they got GFs or married and i see them like once a quarter if im lucky
I see my cousins all the time tho my closest cousin had a kid last year so now i only see him like once a month instead every weekend
every 2 months or so give or take
the few i have are in a different state or internet mutuals abroad
im ok with long distance and time apart but when its perfunctory check in texts every 4-5 months that end in read receipts and people u havent spoken to or seen ina year+, the line between 'friend' and someone just becoming an acquaintance who knows u blurs a little bit
the "put urself out there" and "join several niche groups in your area" advice also feels like an annoying platitude atp that doesnt really grapple with the trending alienation/lack of social grace in made connections these days
