30-somethings. Do you go to a bar after work?
I can't seem to find much in the way of a social life so I'd better start finding one and soon.

2. On occasion
but not very often. If I do, it is with a group from work.

3. I guess I can't answer this as I'm older than 30-something.

I never liked bars, never will. Why do you need a social life?? Try attending a meetup or something like that if you want a social life. Find a club or something.

6. Why?
:-)

Because it doesn't matter what types of clubs I try to get involved with, I just don't fit in. :-(

Nobody's perfect...

7. Take a yoga class.... much more sexual
than a bar.

8. Not regularly, but there's a group of us at work
that will somewhat frequently gather at a local place for happy hour drinks. We call it a 'Rag & Scorn,' because we rag about our jobs and scorn our employers (unless they've come along too).

9. Not any more
In my younger days, hell I spent half my paycheck at the bar on payday... but now, I just prefer not to drink but maybe a couple times out of the year... just don't care for alcohol like I used to.

10. no, but sometimes I think I should...
just kidding. I just find it more enjoyable to hang out with my dogs...people piss me off too often (I live in a conservative area).

11. On rare occasions,
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 07:19 PM by eyepaddle
like if there's a show going on that I want to see. Lately I've been meeting a lot more friends in my paddling groups. It's everybit as fun as a bar--but NO hangovers!

Not much hook-up potential though.

On edit: my typo was "eeting" instead of "meeting" look at post 12 and tell me that's not funny!

15. Either that,
or my mind is in the gutter.

You are really into kayaking/canoeing? Were on the river that you showed in your clip? That's pretty cool.

:hi:

14. I go to the dog park at least once a day
My dog is quite the conversation piece. I have met tons of people walking my dog over the years and even dated a few. Its fun for him too.
