What do single people do on weeknights?

Think about investing in some project of interest to you. Just one and devote some time to it each day until it's done. If it's not something that's ever "done", like learning a foreign language, then work toward specific goals.

In the long run, it's a lot more satisfying than having dozens of hobbies and loose friendships.

Sleep, watch baseball, basketball, hockey, read, invest

I'm surprised by how few of you use your freedom to work nights. My office is full of young childless people from 5:00 to 8:30. The rest of us are out by 5:00 -- a lot wishing they could stay later and be more successful.

The video games and masturbation, on the other hand, are no surprise.

All the weightlifting is interesting. I am guessing that it's to make yourselves more attractive because you don't like being single?

Is this even a question? I'm single and barely have a minute to spare (except between projects at work when I troll letsrun).

Seriously, between running, work, commute, and sleep, I have almost NO time left in the evenings.

And when I do have a rare minute or two to spare, I DO NOT want to spend it talking to another person. After my work day, I'm peopled out.

And I get to spend my weekends doing whatever I want, without consulting anyone. Sometimes I go all weekend without having a single conversation. It's great.

Hell is other people.

I have too much free time. My work is only 35 hours a week. I tried a second job but hated life. I want to do fun things with other people. It is hard to make friends though.

Taking these past three nights as representative, I (a 30 y/o male in a city):

A) got Thai food and saw a ballet with two friends (one single and one with a long-distance partner)

B) Bouldered with an alumni group I'm a part of

C) had a good laugh on the phone with a friend about

and read Lord of the Rings.

Tonight I'll run a tempo with my track club and then eat a burrito.

I dunno, you fill the time I guess?

Living in a city helps. I made a lot of my friends these past few years through running. Only advice is that a less serious track club, i.e. not not filled with competitive folks looking to improve on their college PRs, might be better for making friends. That was my experience anyway.

Good luck.

Fapped so hard to Jordan last night. She wants my D.

Married, I can't get married, I'm a 30 year old boy.

Porn does in fact ‘drain’ me...but not of creativity.

Thank you for your concern.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time being single, so

I better myself, make myself more datable

I lay the foundations for future relationships

I brainstorm, previsualize. The Germans have names for this sort of thing. Which brings me to the other point, I indulge my curiosity and love of learning. From time to time it includes world languages.

I reflect on life

I hang with friends and socialize too but also seek out positive influences and new horizons and friendships and social circles

I work on my standup routine

Or more realistically, I indulge my funny side for balance

I also stand on one foot for balance, I’ve been told it helps with running injuries

I’ve been known to read a good book, sometimes I even did so while playing chess with the boys, so you can read and hang with the cool kids at the same time, sometimes, but not often

It helps to have peace and quiet for reading, I find

This thread should be titled "What do single WHITE people do on weeknights?" The lack of cultural awareness on LR never ceases to amaze me.

Read about something you’re interested in—money, politics, sports, etc. I’ve recently started reading again after years away, and it’s life-changing. There’s so much info in books that you can’t find on the Internet or anywhere else.

Listen to a podcast.

Start a project and build something.

Go for a run or a walk (or a scooter ride) around a new neighborhood in your city.

There are lots of options. Sometimes it’s hard to pick just one. Good luck to you.

I'm newly single and living alone for the first time in my life. I have a few friends that I can sometimes hang out with on the weekends, but they are all busy during the week. After I run and eat I have absolutely nothing to do all night.

What do single people who live alone do at night?

Anything you want. Go to karaoke. Go to sleep. Watch Indiana Jones. Make new friends. The real question is what do couples do? Meal prep? Watch HBO?

World's your oyster, do whatever you want. Make new friends if your other friends can't hang out. Find a running club. Those people are also single and have nothing to do.

OMG, I'm glad you've learned to enjoy being single because you are never getting laid.

Why are you assuming their racial idenity?

I'm not sure what you are getting at. I'm single and not white and I do basically the same stuff listed here. I'm not sitting around smoking weed and searching jail records trying to find my dad. Troll elsewhere, loser.

Smoke weed and listen to Wu Tang Clan

Alright, fine! Work a solid office job. But “who says pretty boys can’t be wild ******”

I get tix to festivals, I participate in endurance events. I keep up with my friends on Snapchat and IG. I hit the gym with the boys twice a week. Scout matches on bumble. Weekends, we go hard so during the week we gotta be solid know what I’m saying. I croon smooth R&B songs over blues and soul melodies Come Saturday night, and Sunday morning I get down to church with my gran ma. Monday morning, blast some Drake, put on my sweats and get a jog for the week.
