So I was on Facebook today, and on my feed I saw this post from a guy I knew in college. His status said some silly mess about crazy parties and girls. It made me wonder...
Does it ever get old?
This guy is about to trip over 30 and still has the mentality of a 19-year old. He is the ultimate frat boy: he still goes to every party he can, and gets crazier than anyone else. His friends are settling down and getting married and having kids, while he is still dating multiple women at a time and hanging around college people. He came to one of my graduation ceremonies, and I asked him, "Why do you still hang around my school all the time?" His reply: "Cuz they got pretty girls here." Seriously, at 27, you are chasing 19 year old girls? Why?
And then there's my uncle. I know everyone has a crazy uncle, and I am no exception. My uncle is in his 50s and divorced. However, his behavior, for as long as I can remember, has been very similar to that of the guy I mentioned above. He parties and drinks like a college kid. He goes on trips around the world, not for the history or to see the sights, but to hang out at the bars and pick up women. He dates girls that are younger than me, and I have yet to hit 25. Again, I ask, why?
Why is it that for some guys, the point where they shift their focus from chasing women to settling down and/or making something of themselves just never comes?

My brother is turning into one of those men. He is 21 and his girlfriend has yet to turn 16. Gross? I think so. He can't even take her to clubs or see rated R movies. She just got her learner's permit a couple of months ago. And my brother is old enough to buy alcohol. Gross? I think so.
There is also a guy I work with who is like that. He is 30 years old and he hangs out with high school students. He was recently "talking" to a 17 year old senior, while also trying to retain the attention of my 20 year old girl friend. (He will never be with my friend; it's just a fun game we enjoy playing.) I find this sick and sad.
some guys are not very satisfied with one partner, maybe before they settle or achieve something better, they must enjoy the goodness in life. So that after all these craziness, they can realize that at the end of the day they have someone to turn to. And can prove themselves that enough is enough.
I read something in Details magazine about this...
