Why are there so many people under 25 and under 20 even?

When I was at school, uni etc I met lots of people all the time and was way too busy getting my plans sorted to think about anything more serious than what was on offer anyway.

Only when one starts working it gets more static. Friends/colleagues get married, get a house, get a dog... not that easy to meet new people.

I'm a loner with no life. I come on here to partially fulfil aspirations of normality

Woah, me too.

2 years too, also in a different place. She left me, I moved back home to London after uni, most of my mates have long-termers or no drive to go out. We do go out- but get far too battered to even entertain the idea of approaching women without falling over, and the rest of the time we just cotch so the situation is both depressing and desparate.

Me too, except it was a boyfriend and it was 6 years. I do go out at weekends and meet people but I always seem to find the people I meet in bars dont really want to get to know you they just want to get in your knickers. I know the same can be applied on here but at least you have the option to sift through the weirdos and its alot easier to say no and talk to someone else on here. Where as I feel I'm too polite to do that in a club etc. Oh hello btw. I am new. Havent been to the right thread and introduce myself properly yet but hello anyway! Very Happy

4 1/2 years for me. We went to the same uni, then at the end of the 2nd year she decided to call it a day. I have no idea how to get back out there now. And I am in London, which makes it very difficult anyway.

My 2 cents on this, is that there is the obvious thing of coming out of a long term relationship but from a personal perspective modern life for younger people can be so hard. I put myself under constant pressure to do well at my studies and keep a job, being social and meeting people simply didn't figure in my plans. It's the same when you go out into the big wide world, career and progression eat up so much time it becomes so much more difficult to meet people.

kinda same situation only my only 3 mates all got engaged, moved in with their gfs and i havent seen any of them since last xmas, thats how much they like me and im a guy whose grown up without friends. ppl say go out n make new ones, its bloody hard at this age, u approach anyone and automatically u get weird looks, comments or even abuse.
How awkward is it to be a single male and want to go out for the chance to meet girls but going alone everyone thinks you some loner pedo. Ive tried goin out on my own but i got beat up cuz i was an easy target on my own.
The younger generation are definately more looks first than eva, cheating seems to be acceptable as well for alot of younger ppl cuz they see it so much on shows like Hollyoaks where pretty much every1 cheats in soaps and 4gives.
Anyway gone off topic here.
its alot easier for women to find guys cuz if they turn up alone at a club, bar, they will get guys approaching them, even if its just 4 sex, same with online, a girl makes a profile and shes flooded with msgs, guys have to send them out and b lucky 2 eva get a respond inless they r hot.

There are very few social events for teenagers/young people of our generation that aren't haveily drugs or violence based. Also, the internet means that you can come up with criteria for what you want and reject people based on that; harsh but true.
