Im almost 30 and a little anxious about it. My whole life people have been telling me my best years are my late teens and early 20s. I want to know what 30s are like specifically when it comes to social life. And i know everyone enjoys different things and obviously not everyone does or likes what i wrote in the title, but just in general you know? Or stereotipically what do people in their 30s do for going out or a social life, where do yall go? I just want to know whats socially acceptable, for example, 21 year olds shouldnt be going to highschool parties, 30 year olds should be going to frat parties, i just dont wanna be the old creepy guy at the club, so what js the social life for 30+ year olds?

I really enjoy tabletop gaming. We have several different friends with kids and our kids play together, we hang out and play games. Usually some drinks.
My wife will go out to a bar or something with friends a couple times a year and drink too much. Maybe a concert or event.
We go to weddings, baby showers, dinners at people’s homes, restaurants, etc.
You won’t see me in a bar or night club, etc.
Depends on where I’m at or who I’m with.
With friends at their house or mine: I’m having a few beers and we are likely sitting around a fire chatting or playing pool in a pool hall or playing video games if it’s a school night.
If I’m on a work trip I go out to eat at bars to people watch. It’s fun for me to see all the different types of people. If I happen to get invited out by the people who’s office I’m invading then I will go and if it’s at a bar I’m never afraid to leave early if I feel uncomfortable or it’s just too loud.
Ummm…. Each other’s houses. Actually, that’s where we started hanging out after college. I never did the bars/clubs/etc. Once we had our own houses… Well, it’s a lot cheaper to get drunk on Bob’s back yard than it is to get drunk at a bar. And Bob’s couch is pretty comfortable when it comes time to pass out.
For most people it’s friend’s houses. If you have kids it’s basically nothing.
Most people at that age don’t go out very much. Which sucked as someone who still did and getting people to go out to a bar or dance was like pulling teeth.

It’s whatever you want it to be. I know people who go to clubs and bars and concerts every weekend. I know people who just want to hang around the house, personally we have bbqs and pool parties in the summer and drink out by a fire pit in the yard hanging out with the neighbors in the winter while sneaking in the concert or bar trip here and there. Really just depends on you.
Dinner parties and kids play dates. About twice a year I’ll go out to a show. About three times a year I take my wife to a nice restaurant. I socialize with my parents, siblings and in-laws A LOT more than in my 20s. I also get a drink with coworkers a couple times a year.
We go out for dinner, or we go home to bed. We are tired.
Work, kids, wife, gun club. That’s my social life.
In your 30s, it is the wedding of your friends, bar or football games with chaps.
Breweries instead of bars was the big difference for my friends and I. Trivia night. Go out for big games / join a weekly watch party
Social life is nonexistent outside of family.
It’s either kid playdates or maybe 2-3x a year a sports game with a buddy or two.
