For the older redpillers

I'm 44. I find that I get up ,go to work, hit the gym, get my kid and go home. Take care of dad duty stuff, make sure my kid is staying up on his homework and what not, etc. By the time I'm done with the daily grind, and when you add in a weekly grocery store run and other shit you just gotta go do, then consider as you get older and more established in a career, sometimes it takes extra time as well.

You'll find that focus on and pursue a mission, still make time to hit the gym, make time to prepare decent food, make time to take care of other responsibilities, etc. - you end up with less time to just go hang out. As the kids get older and more capable, it gets better sort of, but they also need more time because their getting into more shit on their own, and until they have their own transportation, you're the bus service.

I make a point of once every week or two, I meet up with some dude's after work on a Friday. For my schedule, it usually works well to fit it in then. We gather somewhere convenient for us all, and catch up. No girlfriends/wives/kids/etc. Just dudes. And then once a year, we've been doing a guy's trip to this lake house that my friend's mother-in-law owns. It's out in the boonies, we go boating, drink a few beverages, grill out, etc.

You can make time for some guy friends, but generally if you don't intentionally plan it, it doesn't happen much as you get older and more stuff gets added into your life.

Yes it dramatically declines, but you need to put in the effort to have friends and have a social group.

Once college years end it can be really easy to lose your social life, but you need it man.

In a LTR you especially need to maintain your social life.

Life changes with age: marriage, kids, careers, hobbies, moving away, illness, aging parents. Life becomes complicated but you can keep a few good friends close. Take a look at your parents - that is your future whether you like it or not.

Of course you hang out with your friends less. Doesn't mean they aren't your friends.

It's all about time management and priorities. Typically you do it less but it ends up being more enjoyable when you do.

Your future is YOUR future. Make it wtf you want.

Does hanging out with friends decline the older you get?

Yes. Life gets in the way. Work, family, distance, changing interests, responsibilities, expenses, etc. all mean that you hang out with your friends less as you get older. And if you find that that isn't what is happening it means you are doing something wrong and need to find out why you aren't so you don't end up the oldest guy at the club. No one wants to be that guy.
