Friends acting like old men. Social life sucks now

[damnitzdom]

It's summer and its nice out and my homeboy has been on Skype for 4 hours with his girl.

We were suppose to skate.

This is the guy I usually hit up shows and concerts with and now he's all "Nah man, I gotta save up $ to visit my girl."

This is what happens usually when people get "coupled up."
Find (or re-acquaint) with some friends who are single and take it from there.

It's not about bars.  Dudes don't even get up to watch the NBA playoffs now a days.  No excuse for dudes with they own spots and no kids.  Plus as a man you should wanna kick it with your boys and get away from your girl or wife. 

That part is just upsetting. I could understand not wanting to go out and watch the game, but dudes should be willing at least to go over or have people over their houses. I really really hope this doesn't happen with my friends

yea i got a couple of friends that are like that, sometimes though when it comes to females some guys just get hassled over the tiniest things so sometimes they just do whatever to not get hassled even if its hanging out with the boys less, thats the only logical explanation I could come up with

whats wrong with this?

granted the wife and i hardly if ever go out to clubs/lounges together unless its for a friends bday or something, but dinners? dinner parties? bars?

maybe im just in a different demo than most of NT, but I personally dont see anything wrong with that.  A lot of my friends are gettin to the age where they having babies now.  I run with a couple of different circles and each one has atleast 1-2 babies. 

The addition of babies has forced us to tweak the scheduling a bit, but people still find ways to make it work.  More happy hours or weekend brunch/lunch or just straight up day drinking going on now.  Everytime I have to make the obligatory "What kind of degenerate brings a damn baby to the bar at noon?!?!?!" joke.  The wives/gf's will catch up and chat while the boys get s-faced in the afternoon. 

  

this part especially got me

1 dude works retail and just fell out the circle.  Nothing really happened but apparently he's "busy"

.  Dude wifed up a fat chick FTL
2 dudes are getting married next year which I understand is time consuming and costly. But they on that work/home/wife program everyday.

If you can't get up and chill once every 2 weeks then how can I consider you a friend? Nobody is that busy with their job, relationships, or whatever.  I'm at the point where I want new friends but I'm at the age where it doesn't really happen.  p.s. I have a girl and can be "busy" at times too but I can find time for the homies.  I think its just these dudes being lazy with life. 

Negroid please...I was trying to get you out last weekend, but you didn't want to hit up DC...and I am older than you
