    Hard to argue with. I’m 28 and work at a warehouse and the guys I’m friendly with on a surface level just to kinda be personable will say some shockingly homophobic and misogynistic things if you listen to them talk long enough. Like I can’t be friends with these guys, not really.

    Conversely, I met this really cool guy the other day at a rockhound meet up who was super chill and left. He goes diving for jade in Big Sur and was super into scallops so I traded him some marine shell fossil conglomerates and lapidary slabs and polished agate nodules for chunks of jade and some weed. Me and my partner just vibed with him and his buddy and it was great. Guys that cool are few and far between unfortunately.

    Kinda. Legit it is hard to make friends as a guy though. 24 you are still young but it gets harder and harder as you get older. The way that things are at least in the USA, men are basically expected to be in competition with eachother constantly. I mean, when I came out as trans I started making a bunch new friends. Idk. Lots of loser men out there though so you’re not wrong

    25 here and I agree. Most people in general kind of suck in my experience. Like most of my friends just smoke and play games and parrot dumb shit they see on Facebook. I’ve discovered more and more recently that some of the stuff they say teeters on chud territory. They’re like your average South Park fan, I guess.

    It just sucks because… is this all adulthood actually is? At least for me? Did I fuck up so badly?

      It is pretty much all it is and it’s not just you and you didn’t fuck up. Adults are just older children and most people have absolutely no curiosity

        This is one of the most frustrating things I’ve realized as I’ve entered adulthood. It’s so boring. Like it’s easy to make fun of Funko guys, but most people aren’t fundamentally any different.
