25+ year old NYC Niketalkers check in (Where are we going to chill?)

I believe this to be true which is why I'm asking where have OTHER'S BEEN. Because people my age are either too busy or can't afford to party where I party or play where I play. I'm talking about kayaking, indoor rock climbing, rooftop night clubs, the problem is not finding places to go. It's finding places to go where there's  an abundance of 25+ year olds.


21-22-year-olds are broke and make up for it with sarcasm to express their financial inadequacies, or either they have money and are really limited in conversation and building relationships with new people. 

At some point you have to break off the bridge of the generational gap.



21-22 year olds can't hang out with 28-29 year olds ...especially established ones, sex is a different story, but just friends WILL NOT WORK.

I'd almost guarantee that you can go on Living Social or a website like that and find deals for a lot of the things you mentioned....and there will be people of all ages participating.

My question for you is why are you hanging out w/ college aged kids when you're almost 30?

Something ain't adding up.
 
Same kind of thing happened to me as well. I asked my friend if he wanted to go to a bar with me because my colleague invited me. He couldn't go because he was flat broke. :smh:

I can't get anybody to go anywhere with me without having to spot them a few bucks or buy them a drink or two. Never again will I help these bums out. If you want a drink, get a job and get some money.

OP, just expand your horizons. NYC is a great city but you must be used to it by now. I guess you have to conform with the younger crowd and go to the places that they go to. Or you can just find new friends. You can always join a sports club/league.

You start to look like an authority figure more than a peer. Problem there is if you level the playing field you look like the older loser who didn't get it poppin' in his age group.

I'm 21 but pretty much my whole group of friends is like 25+....we all really try to stay away from the meatpacking and and other big clubs cause they just filled with underage yuppies. We do a lot more dining at nice restaurants and drinking at bars. Not really nightclubs. Have you hung out at the gansevoort. Usually older crowd...but of dudes and the females is all my age...cause they are thirsty for new louboutins.

Uptown is usually where the older more sophisticated crowd is hanging out...but it is just so boring that we never go past the 50's really.

Are you from NYC? It's not that cut and dry like other regions especially the south and mid-west. HERE in New York there's WEALTHY college kids who pretty much are the LIFE BLOOD of the economy. My job puts me in these scenarios where I'm constantly in a very big age demographic of 18-35 (young adults)

With that being said sometimes with the few hundred WEALTHY but MATURE college age students comes their not so fortunate and not so bright peers who dirty up the scene.

 

I'm not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, I don't live in Manhattan neither but it's my playground, where I work and where I attended  college so I know everyone. People my age hire young interns or what not as a favor to their buddy and it's pretty much customary, so you have a large demographic.
 

I don't "hang" with college aged kids ... they're just always where I'm at which is what I'm trying to avoid.

this thread reaks if trying to hard.

And I got gruff for making a thread about finding a good pen to write with. :lol:

OP I hope you find a place to "play where you play" that not around me....cuz you straight embarrassing.

You should go volunteer or do something constructive with your time. It feels like your semi-running away from getting older.
 
i'm 31 in NYC and I cant see why how you could be bored. Join a sports league. Hit a random spot. Just walk around and go into diffrent spots. my dude there is plenty to do, especially if you're willing to spend racks on a normal weekend. my dude, you're slippin
 
Come hop in the PJ with me and my cohorts of Arabic princes and Chinese businessmen, we make it rain over the city, and our knobs are polished only by the purest of virgins (25+ of course). We also have Louis Vuitton pillow fights on the rooftop of a condo inhabited only by models.

As I find myself reaching 30 soon, I find that young twenty-somethings can't afford to eat where I eat, play where I play and club where I club.


My weekend costed $2000 and although I'm not saying I do this every weekend I do play hard at least once a month. Problem is I just about been everywhere in NYC.



What are some suggestions? What does your weekend look like and where?

Op, did you party hard when you were 18-22?

I was hired by an over priced night club at 18 years old ...I LIVED by the time I was 22-23. Sadly it's like drugs, and you never want the party to end so you become addicted. People my age never achieved the levels I have in this circle so they don't understand the high and why people like me can't stop chasing it.

I'm one person during the day and then transform into another by night ...sadly around 26-27 people start falling off and partnering up with others because they fear old age.

I welcome getting older, what I don't welcome is how alone you feel because no one else has the means or passion to play hard as you do.


Really feel like a vampire sometimes, all these vices and lusts young people yearn for I'm growing tired of it and I'm search for more among my peers.
 
care to name all of these places you went to?

Wouldn't be wise, SRS.

i'm just wondering because 2000$ a weekend including 2 nights at some swanky hotel doesn't sound very expensive in this context.

btw, im just assuming swanky hotel because you're trying to make it sound that way.

say roughly 4-500 a night? that leaves you with what, 1200 spent on the rest of it. you're not getting that crazy. relax yourself.

If they are your close friends and money is no object.....you would just cover the cost and pick up the tab. That's what I do. If I invite folks to join me to a game or a night out....the tab is on me regardless of their gender.



Don't be frugal.
 
Just get rid of your friends since you are clearly above them and material fun is more important

This guy...

So you're saying you don't have a problem hanging with wealthy college-aged kids, it's the "turtles" (entourage) that are messing things up for you.

On top of it all, I still don't understand why you can't find anything to do. If your job is making your life this miserable to the point where you're confused about the SIMPLE nuances of how to have fun, look for a new profession. Besides, if you know "everyone" like you said, then you should have any problems linking up with people your own age to find things to do outside of work.

On top of it all, you claim you went to school in the city so I'm sure that there are plenty of your ex-classmates around for you to chill with.

No you're not projecting at all sir...
 
Son you lack perspective. Go live in a 3rd world country for a bit and then come back and say they're isn't anything to do.
 
There is so much more to life...you will eventually outgrow the whole nightlife thing and more than likely find yourself in a bar full of people half your age and they'll be looking at you like a creep...why not just travel the world?..
