    It's 1oclock on Saturday night. Most of the replies at this time will be lies.



    (I usually have one, I had my appendix out about 10 days ago, went out last week and reversed all the recovering I'd done - I'm not allowed a social life for another week or so now)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,357 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    Get out once a week these days, nobody around for the most part bar 2 reliables.

    What is a social life anyway, do I spent time with friends a least once a week, yes. Do I go on the piss every weekend ? Nope.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,745 ✭✭✭Macavity.


    Go out pre-drinking then to a club about once a week. Wouldn't socialise much other than that really, went to the cinema yesterday with a friend so I guess that counts. Also live with two friends (and another guy) so does it count as socialising when we talk?

    Pretty much nonexistent for me, football is about the height of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,507 ✭✭✭lufties


    Yes I have a social life but its fairly bleak. I socialise with two lads usually but its a bit boring, sometimes I go on dates or head out on my own. This is all down to shiftwork and working unsociable hours. Then on my days off I'm too tired or depressed to even think of something interesting to do, bar go to the gym, pub or yoga.

    Kinda up to yourself. I'd consider "having a social life" to be the same as being satisfied that you spend enough time socialising whilst enjoying yourself, whether that be by going to the cinema, doing sport, playing music, going for coffee with people, getting shítfaced on a Saturday night etc.

    No. People, what a bunch of bastards!

    Really though, I run all the time and we have food with another couple once a month or less. Anything else is too much for me to handle.

    not since moving to the back and beyond...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,882 ✭✭✭Saipanne


    Not really. All my old friends have emigrated, and I haven't made many new ones.

    I have a girlfriend though, so I don't care.

    Living rurally is very isolating, I was back over the Summer and there really was very little to do. Any bit of socialising was revolved around alcohol and there even wasn't a lot of that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,784 ✭✭✭KungPao


    Just a bit. And just enough.

    Fine by me.

    It was you all along...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    Not any more, and I've never been happier tbh. I discovered a while back that I don't really care for people all that much. My wife has much the same outlook, so it's worked out quite well all round

    What?

    Person asks:
    What is a social life anyway?

    And I gave my interpretation.

    Try not to be so touchy.

    Wife, two nippers under three years old, my life is too busy to be social! (and I wouldn't have it any other way).
