i think people become less interesting because when your a parent you have to set up daily routines because without them your kid will run the place. life is quite different because you wake up, get them dressed, drive them to daycare, go to work, pick them up, spend time with them, feed them supper, get them ready for bed, read them a story, hope they fall asleep so you can spend time with the wife, repeat daily. how fun is that to hear about to the single guy.
sure my friends think its lame when i tell them that my kid just took his first steps and that was the highlight of my day but that means more to me than going to some club playing music that i hate, hoping for some women to come and talk to me, and wasting my money on booze and getting hungover. been there done that and it was fun while it lasted. but someday when you become a parent you will learn sometimes the smallest stupidest things that children do beats going out everynight and partying, etc.
one day my friend came with me to get my kid at the daycare and when my kid had made me a drawing of a pirate ship that was just scribbles on a piece of paper and i smiled, he just didn't get it.
