What does fun in your 30s look like vs your 20s

[BaKardi Slang]

Teens and 20s were trash (I already felt like a senior citizen at 24 lol), and my 30s have been trash thus far (I turn 31 in late March). My 30s will be a more extreme version of what I was doing in my twenties, which was essentially a lonely life of just working out, working and spending the vast majority of my time in solitude, Ironically, I wouldn't have it any other way. There's no better option.

I felt like I was pretty damn ignorant in my 20’s, I wasted a lot of time drinking and going after women, the most fun I had back then was smoking weed and doing shrooms with my friends and performing freestyles and such.

I have more fun in my late 20’s being married, I make more music, looking into crafting, we walk at beaches and in parks and preserves more. I just feel like my fun now has more purpose in it vs just escaping boredom. I value my time more now so I try to make the things I consider fun also valuable to any degree I can.

Early 30s is mostly an extension of your late 20s so will be cool

I been pondering about this since I am currently 28

Ppl say your 30s and even 40s is just as much fun as your 20s but it could just be flabby babble

Can y’all come in here n be transparent

Compared to your 20s, does 30s:

-still get the same quality of women look wise

-still able to get fly(not ‘mature’ fly either. Street nikka fly )

-do ppl still invite you out

-are you still gonna have the same amount of spontaneous fun. Example in your 20s it isn’t uncommon to go on a weekend Binge just having fun and fukking hoz

-are women still as easy? Do you still have times where you have a one night stand in the car or something ?

Or is it just time to be a family man

Here’s the thing: you can do both. As you get older, your idea of fun changes. With, or without kids. At least it should. Your mind opens up to wanting to experience new things, but also, you learn how to say “ I could sit this one out”. Mainly because you can foresee how the event would go and can decide whether you want to deal with what it entails. Good or bad. Now that I’m in my 40’s,it’s an even more laid back aspect and I’m content just being. Maybe I’m just high when I read this question. Let me see what everyone else says…
ETA: I didn’t read the whole post. I’ll see myself out now.

Some cool things I've done since 30:

flying to NY to have dinner at 11 Madison Park, when it was in it's prime

Spending a week in Punta Mita, Nayarit at the W

Spending a weekend in Valle de Guadelupe, wine valley in Baja, Californa

Going to the Tate Modern in London

Easting at a two Michelin star spot in Nottling Hill, London

Taking a ferry from Nice, to Cannes, to San Tropez

Eating at Moca Roo (actually called Roo Moca) in Barcelona, in the lobby of my hotel, Hotel Omm

Seeing the Louvre in Paris

Seeing Versailles in Paris

Saw Jay do the 4:44 tour in Brooklyn at Barclay's

shopping at Valentino on Madison, and eating at the upstairs spot at Bergdoff's after

eating at a soul food place on 192 in the Bronx

Eating Hatian food way Uptown near Rucker Park in Harlem on a park bench

Watched the sunrise in South Beach

Read a book while taking the train from Paris to Nice

obviously, my tastes can lean sharply into luxury, travel, food, but the feeling when I realized I could buy a ticket to anywhere in the world, is what your 30's should feel like. Seeing Europe at 30 is not like seeing it at 60, like many people's parents generations.

Yoooo, I’m pulling out a pen and paper right now. Damn, now that’s living!

 

[O.T.I.S.]

The older I get fun has a different meaning

I had stopped drinking for like 4 months, went out for my bday and realized this shyt was so wack and overrated

I had decent fun but after that, I’m good. Rather smoke and stay in the house reading, ordering in, watching movies or something.

As far as the other stuff, why do people think that after 30 you’re dead or something. Do whatever the fukk you did or wanted to do before if you can. I could, but I rather workout than go binge drinking on a friday.

I had way more fun in my 20s. Especially before I turned 25. But that was becuz I was young and dumb with barely any responsibilities. I always had a job and sold weed so I always had a lot of cash. All I did was run the streets, chase broads, hoop and make music if I wasn’t at work or school. But I barely remember whole years from that decade. I spent so much time drunk and high. The stories and shenanigans were endless. I’m lucky I made it out alive and healthy tbh. My 30s tho is where everything came together. Mentally, physically and financially. Now I’m 41 and one of my main goals is just stay out the way

i had a lot of fun in my 20s
i had even more fun in my 30s esp as i made more money
now in my 40s im more responsible with my fun but when i do have it..i got all out

 

[flea]

I went out dancing with a bytch this weekend that just passed. Everything stayed the same for me except I don’t play video games anymore

More successful now and have more hobbies than I ever had during my 20s. I think the most I made in my early 20's was $20k/year and now I work in tech as Full Stack so it's a whole new level as to how much more I can get into.

Keeping it 100 though: my 20s were more socially enjoyable as all my family around my age, friends and their friends were all in unison at the time.

Friday morning walking into work and seeing everyone looking forward to the night

Everybody you know bringing people they knew from school, military and work and saying they in

Folks about to clock out on a Friday and looking at each other getting giddy
When the DJ drops thats that song of the era that everyone around the country/world your age is vibing to
Girl you dancing with talm bout "This my song"
The stories when you link up with everyone on Monday

Now everyone is going to have different takes and people are going to be in different spaces based on their circumstances. Some people are very fortunate they're thriving financially and socially in their early 20's. I can only imagine.

I'm mature enough to know the early 20's served their intent, appreciate them for what they were and to keep looking forward.

Yea but you know your 20s especially the years right after high school are a different type of fun you can’t really recapture

Honestly, if you're on the up and up, it gets better each year.

That time was a whirlwind period for me. Hardly remember those years.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

All the same things for me, watching sports, playing video games, hitting a lounge/dive bar.

Fun has no age limit. As long as you having fun doing what your doing, I don’t see why age would matter. Unless you PHYSICALLY can’t do certain things.

 

[old pig]

late 20s/early 30s was FUN…I could do everything that I did in my early 20s without feeling old/out the loop…except I was way more experienced, successful, confident than I was in my early 20s…it was like having a cheat code

 

[O.T.I.S.]

And as far as going out and being invited out as much, nah. I do get invited to do stuff but its more like grown up shyt.. with people and their family or kids and shyt. Damn near everyone above 23 got a kid.

But since I’m not married or with kids it’s not usually my scene.

I still get invited to clubs and bars though and usually by women. I don’t have any close male friends out here where I’m at, and no family/cousins/brothers to do shyt with here.

Getting to know people is like trying to weed through a bunch of people to find the ones who aren’t crabs to me. Don’t really care for it at my age now

Yea but you know your 20s especially the years right after high school are a different type of fun you can’t really recapture

it was a different type of fukkery for sure but i still have those same friends and they were still lit all these years. so i guess what i would do is go hang out with them if i needed that itch scratched but i've always been kinda lame myself so that wasn't that often lol. but know that i'm thinking about it my two most lit friends actually died last year. so i guess in a sense, my life is going to be a bit less random moving forward without them

tldr: life is def less fun when folks die.
