I like how my younger friends bring out my younger self and my older friends bring out my older self. I've got all sorts of different ways that I act, depending on who i'm around and how i'm feeling, so having friends of different ages and personalities and such is all part of the fun.
Haha... in a way I agree, but then I was thinking further about it... and the "maturity" level of my friends really has nothing to do with age.. I have friends that are 20-21 that act more "mature" then some friends in their 30's and 40's...lol. Anyways I guess I just don't think much of age... another one of my friends is mom's best friend (the one that does my hair for free, i call her my aunt)- she's about 50 now too... she's SOOOO goofy and fun and when im with her I get loud. When I'm with my best friend that's 20 we're kinda more quiet and talk about stuff..... (oh btw...this has led me to believe that a lot of people get "younger" as they age)
Stay in the age range that you feel comfortable with. Just remember at some point someone is going to get left out. That means that your older friends at some point are going to want to do stuff that certain ages can not. As well the younger folks are going to want to do stuff that older people cant do because they will break.
Not necessarily because I think each individual is a bit different...While my older friends I get along with better because they are more relaxed and laid back like myself... while people my age are wanting to club and party and that's not my scene at all...
yeah, there's always different levels of maturity, regardless of age. that's really what i was getting at though. the less "mature" ones bring out my wild side, and the more "mature" ones bring out my more mature side. Although I don't really like using the word mature, i just couldn't think of a better word. Just because you like to have fun and be yourself doesn't make you immature.
One thing I have in common with the friends I was originally using as an example is they would BOTH prefer to chill and listen to music and talk, while smoking or doing whatever else.... to going out to a club, etc... I have friends that are all into that kind of partying.... and I don't hang out with them much anymore the more they get into it.... I'm more a smaller group/chill type of person in general...
No...defiantly not. Hence my same way of writing "mature"--- maybe I meant loud. Haha... I don't know..but i agree...
eh, this flew over my head... I prefer a smaller group as well and to relax, drink some beer and talk or play some pool or poker.. The people I know who are my age are all want to go to clubs and dance and I just can't do it, though that's them and what they like to do.. I tried it once and was an epic fail...
I don't want to sound like an arrogant jerk while I say this, but I will. So that's whatever. I'm a really smart guy. Sometimes that makes relating with people my own age seem a little harder. Older people aren't any smarter, but they usually have more perspective, and often carry on richer conversations. It's still usually dumbed down a bit. But I feel the concerns on my mind at any given time, a lot of the time, a lot of the people my age might have kinda shallow perspectives on. I date older women usually and have older friends now. Not all the time. But I've lived a rugged life and it's hard to relate with a lot of tykes.
I agree. One thing my older and younger friends that I hang out with the most seem to have in common is they've been through a lot...
