Did you have the whole party experience? College parties, Spring Break, Nightlife, Office Flings etc? 


All last week I was kind of down about how much my life has changed drastically; without reflecting onthe past few years I haven't thought about my late teens and early twenties.Got together with old friends this holiday weekend that flew in from all over. Had quite a lot to drink, talking about the "glory days". I truly was the man, I was there for every big party, best treatment at every "it" club, and my share of "lucky nights" with the most gorgeous college co-eds who were out of my league. Stories from Spring Break that no one would believe unless they were there, and when I entered the white collar sector I literally smashed every female in my department except my department head who was married, but we still made out, a girl fresh out of high school who didn't smash black guys, and a racist. 

Even the waitress at the bar was being extra with me, however we've all moved on in life and as I see these younger guys now, and it just look like they didn't do it like guys my age did it when we turned up. I'm from the 80's so when we reached 17-18 in 2000 it was different back then, to be an average black guy and smash anything you want was really impressive back then. Just look at shows like The Real World from 1998-2006'ish, the typical "white alpha" was every woman's ideal choice still, at least for social aesthetics. Not like today. Your swag and money had to be CORRECT back then, there was no Priceline.com etc...you had to PAY to travel and the nicest accommodations to "play".

If you lived a life similar or better than mine, what are you doing now? How do you feel about reaching a new stage in adulthood? What do you with yourself these days? Are you still partying? Do you feel like they best days are over? Did you go through withdraws like I did? 

Or did you live a straight laced life and have regrets? Share your stories.


...I know GoldenArmz is WAY older than me, but he used to post pics back in like 05-06 and he was LIVING! I've seen pics of him recently and I don't know him like that but I'm kind of worried, he looks like he's going through something.

You give a man a mountain of gold and he will ask for another one. Man cannot be satisfied no matter how many beautiful women he's been with or how much money he accumulated and spent. A lot of people search for that inner peace/ happiness/ glory days in things that don't matter.

No.
I'm 22 and I feel like I've missed out on a lot, especially by not going to college (I went to cc but dropped after a few semesters). Whether it be missed relationships, girls , or partying . I've lived a pretty boring life.
I see people that I went to high school with having the time of their lives and I'm just here with no idea what I am doing with my life anymore.
 
18-21 went to the city every weekend stayed out till 4am on average. Smoked heavy from 21-25. Now I'm just chilling tryna turn up as a grown up get a good career going. Haven't gone out that much, stopped burning, don't drink anymore.

Breh! You're still a pup! 22? It's not too late for college. I've also seen people I went to high school AND COLLEGE with having the time of their lives, and some crashed and burned miserably. 

I was down and out until I've realized I've lived a pretty fulfilling life, college isn't all it's cracked up to be, if you're not looking to make a CAREER move based on real life social networks then community college is fine. Save your money.

But 22 years old is too young to be sitting around moping...do me a favor, put on a nice outfit, take about $100 to the club, SOLO, and sit next to the most beautiful woman in the joint. The one that everyone is scared to walk up to. Offer to buy her a drink, if she said no, offer to buy her glasses because she can't see her destiny standing right in front of her. Then order your favorite drink, two, one for her and one for you...then ask the bartender some eye glasses for the lady, because she doesn't see a good catch such as yourself.

...if she doesn't laugh and slides you her number, come back in this thread and mope. But if you're lucky, make a new thread about how you smashed, and remember pics of the girl or it didn't happen.

Seriously 22 is too young to feel like you're feeling man.

I was the man in my city and on my campus...will be 30 next year and don't miss the early 20s days much at all.  I'm much more content with a night in or a smaller gathering with close friends.  I don't discredit those who are still out partying to the max though, as long as you are taking care of responsibilities, do as you please.  I still have my moments of glory, but the recovery time is much longer

Word ...used to be able to drink a fifth of vodka, smoke about a quarter, fall asleep with the bottle in my hand next to a dimepiece and wake up naked with no hang over, like "day two!!!"

Now I'm waking up the next morning like, "day...one still?"

I mean I can't say I've gone to a ton of college parties, and I've never really celebrated spring break when I was younger. I'm 27 now.

But from years 24-27 I've partied way harder than I did 18-22. Just the fact that ever I go the hardest when I go to concerts or festivals, and that's been my hobby for the last few years.

I was at this festival this summer with a good friend of mine who is only 22, and his group of friends from HS who ranged from 18-24. It felt a little weird hanging out with those younger kids and going as hard as they were.

Now I know this lifestyle can't go on forever, and I have calmed down a lot in the last few months, it's the summer time that always gets me. I keep telling myself "Ok, I can't keep doing this, I need to grow up." But I'm already finding myself saying I can do all these things again this coming summer. I got til I'm 30 to truly grow up right? :tongue:
 
I mean, I don't "party" often. But when I do, I still tend to go hard. It's weird though, when I'm at festivals I can go harder than I ever do at home and hardly feel hungover. Do it at home, and I'm reminded of my age, and feel horrible the next day. I'm hibernating for the winter though.

My kids bring me all of what you stated in your last sentence. Ain't nothing closer my friend
 
I'm 26, what you would consider to be your late 20's person, and honestly I've done all of it. Hardcore drugs, clubbing, college frat parties, serious relationships, not so serious relationships. I live in south Florida so all of that was pretty much within reaching distance. I don't have any regrets.

Most of my friends are moms and married. I'm not. I have a comfortable govt job and yeah I'm making relatively good money but I strive for more. I want to go fed. I'm not limited to staying down here and I'm very happy with the decisions I've made in my life. I like dating different men and seeing what it is I'm looking for.

I'm not even sure what it is you're asking anymore because I've gone off on a tangent but yeah I'm drinking and after feeling all this pressure from society (and my ******* family) to settle down and have kids and become a wife, I just feel liberated making my own Decisions when it comes to my life.


Oh yeah I still go out but I don't really enjoy clubbing like I used to. South beach, downtown Miami/Fort Lauderdale and all that **** just loses it's appeal after a few years of going there. I like alcohol and men with good conversation. /nonsensical rambling
 
If you're a man from the 80's why do you say "turn up?".
Be real you weren't the man...

thats crazy your only 26 & your family wants you to settle down :lol:
 
Depending on your life situation. In my early 20s I used to stay within an eight hour bubble of my city but, now in my late 20s it's nothing for me to jump on a plane to go to another country or coast.

I think it also depends on what your closest boy are doing with their lives. It is easy to continue the party life if they are in the same position as you. It is hard (or should be) for your boys to party every weekend if they are married with kids.

As someone else stated, as long as you're progressing with your career and handling your bills I do not see anything wrong with continuing the party life.
