You know in your 20s, you would go out to meet girls. Why do you go to bars? Meet chicks. The sole reason of you leaving your home is to meet chicks. That's what 20s are like, at least for me.
Since I turned 30, I have slowly gotten more 'introverted' in my activities. I no longer seek out parties, and maybe some occasional social gatherings. Unless there are some invitations, which at my age, they are usually a friend's birthday party, a friend's kid's birthday party, a Thanksgiving dinner, a housewarming party, or a wedding. Your buddies got married and have kids, or moved out far for a job. You won't hear anything from them for months or years.
I, too, have shifted my focus toward my own interests. I don't go out just to meet women. There has to be a bigger reason. I still take dance lessons, for example, but that's actually to be good at dancing, not for the women. Women are just a nice bonus. I would chat them up within the context of the event, and if things click, then I escalate. Otherwise, I let it go. For once, I am able to look past through those tits and make-ups.
