"Left out as a result of following this lifestyle. i.e not "settling down" and get married as per conventional societal norms.
I was looking at the pictures of all my friends that I went to school and university with and they all have pictures with their smiling families, kids, wives etc. etc. And then there are pictures of their childrens life milestones. All of a sudden I just felt left behind. Their kids are growing up and here I am still looking for the next bang or the cute 18 year old. I mean some of my friends that got married when they were like 21 and are beginning to have daughters that I might consider hitting on.
Makes me wonder. "
I am younger than you, and even I feel left out. Most of the people I know are in serious relationships and thinking about marriage.
Thing is, a lot of "players" want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to party it up for as long as possible, and then settle down in their 40's or later. This, in my opinion, is unrealistic. If you want to settle down, then doing so when you are younger makes more sense since it is far easier to meet and fall in love with a chick closer to your age.
For example, right now I could be completely broke and still get most young girls to agree to get serious with me b/c they aren't as concerned that someone my age doesn't have his shit togther.
However, if I wait until I am much older to start looking for "the one," then things get more complicated. Age starts to be a factor since now you will be seen as a loser by a lot of chicks for not having your shit together. Also, being at different stages in life makes it harder to relate.
So, I think if you want to settle down, then you should settle down.
On the other hand, if you don't want to settle down, then that is fine too. Just don't delude yourself that you will "settle down someday."
Be realistic and build a lifestyle you are comfortable with.
