Pfft i'd rather take drugs (alcohol... calm down) collectively than that at this point, or board games.
I enjoy being with people more though, so oh well.
Sounds about right to me, although I’m not much into board games, aside from Scrabble once in a Blue Moon, the only “drug” I got into was alcohol, although the very occasional joint was virtually mandatory in the sixties, plus I enjoy boozing more when surrounded by other devotees too.
This is why you find someone who enjoys the same hobbies.
Maybe you were only happy meeting girls who liked meccano sets, or model railways, but when I was “in the life”, I looked for girls with attractive faces and nice figures, someone who enjoyed my penchant for eating in good restaurants, and spending weekends in Paris, Rome, or Madrid, now that’s a great hobby.
One of my friends has to sit and watch TV programs with his wife on an evening when he wants to play video games with the rest of us, poor guy.
He doesn’t HAVE to, if he doesn’t want to, he can say what I’d say, “thanks, but no thanks, you want to watch something on TV that I don’t like, knock yourself out, I’ll be in The Mayflower, unless you want to record it, and come with me.”
