How tough would it be to compete with a college kid at a party school when it comes to social life?

Given that you're out of college and no longer college age (18-25) for most typical colleges that fit the mold of a "party school".

Lets say you have made it financially to where money is not that big of a concern, are in good health and don't have a family/significant other to take care of.

What the hell are you even asking? Are you trying to ask if having money will be your ticket to picking up younger women in college? Assuming that was your intended question, here’s the answer: If you couldn’t pick up girls in college while you were in college (for whatever reason), having more money is probably not going to magically fix that.

 

mu, really. You'll stop caring about number of friends and go for quality. Longer, stronger friendships with people who inspire, actually care about, and encourage you become infinitely more valuable than meeting a bunch of drunk people who immediately befriend anyone who likes the same song as them at that moment.

But you can easily still do that at a club with a bag of coke and an empty soul if you'd like.

All else equal, average college kid (assuming they are already active) would kill the average adult in terms of social life/# of "friends." My opinion is that, as you age, you start to hang out with your closer friends more and somewhat close your friend circle. Sure, you'll be invited to weddings of old friends, but they are more acquaintances at that point. The college kid is in his prime - parties every weekend where he/she has the opportunity to meet all sorts of new people, and plus classes changing every semester where there might be 100+ kids in a class. No chance. But he/she will be in the same position as us adults one day.

 

A crazy night in college is nothing compared to a crazy night in NYC.

Eh, where'd you go to school? I'm not saying I was a frat life legend but I did okay and that concentration of college hookups from the blurry ages of 18-22 was unmatched. I knew a few guys with more game than me that had idk 2 or 3x the hookups during that same time frame? I know like literally one guy aged 23-30 that comes close to knocking down that level of top shelf tail.

I said crazy nights. I didn't mention anything about 'getting tail.'

At no point in your life should you be getting more pussy than you did in university. Its a giant cesspool of horny women and your tuition guarantees you a slot at the dinner table.

I dont think it would ever be the same as being at collage has a certain vibe that you wont get out of collage as people will in general be older and have more responsibility. So in that sense you have missed it. That said thats not to say you cant have a lot of fun but it will be with a different crowd mostly rich kids or other people in your situation rather than a broad set of people.

 

I'll be honest - you asked this question very badly.

I personally believe that the dumb frat guy is no longer attractive to "most" women who actually care about bettering themselves and going places

 

With dating apps and moral decay, I cannot see why a guy would have a tougher time hooking up after college but as for social life, I mean compete in the sense of how great it can be for a single guy after college.

 

You phrased your question really poorly..

It all depends on how much you work and how much you invest in your own social life.

If you make an effort to go out to bars twice to three times a week, constantly aim to talk to girls and make friends, and use your money to improve yourself (gym membership, better diet, better clothes, nice car) then you can technically have a better social life after college if you didn't have a great one while you were in college.

Social life is a function of effort put into going out x ability to talk to people and have fun x improving yourself to be someone other people are attracted to.
