What age were you pulling the most in a nightlife setting?

[Stanley]

I worked as a waiter/server sometimes making $100 a night, which was a lot for someone with minimal bills at the time.

Got ya, I was barbacking back then making basically nothing and there would be no way a bouncer would let me in between the ages of 18-22 even with a fake since I still get carded at 25 if I've got no stubble.

Curious, what you made you prioritize it? and what made you not.

I, like most guys in my 20s, was always on the lookout for some female companionship. By 28, I had finally reached a point apparently where self improvement efforts were putting me at a peak. But not long after that I started focusing on my career more heavily, which took up a lot of time. During that time I met a woman who was an LTR interest for me, and I've mainly been in LTRs ever since. Which is what I find most satisfying, personally.

You can do mid 20’s all night long in the bar but depending on where you are in life you may not find it fulfilling long term, but then again maybe you will. Don’t pay for drinks. Don’t have to.

I figured, I think that's great. as well. I'd be more partial to relationships down the road i'm sure.

Never have! Last night two girls pulled me and a bud aside and bought us shots.

I relate to that and held that mentality for a while. Now i'm more eager to try these things it out in moderation. My self control is good so i'm not worried about heading south or self destructing. And as previously mentioned I see it as a challenge.

My early 20's, had already been in the clubs since 18, periodically played in bands, and was a bit more fearless. After that I became more cautious due to experiences with crazy females, became more selective, and strove for quality over quantity.

Worked well for me back then, things are different now.

American clubs? Rarely do I see anyone under 21 where i'm at, a handful of fake id's here n there. I started playing out at 16 with guys 20 or more years my senior, but being "with the band" felt different then going out on the town. Still feels that way now, but I play out way less.

at end of 24-25 I was a beast in the field
Now 2023 quarantine has killed nightlife in my city 75% of the bars/clubs are closed and downtown in my city looks like Kuwait

Yeah USA, and like you I was a teen in a band (Jazz/R&B) with cats in their late 20s early 30s, so were the women that attended the gigs. Serious education but TBH I got past older women quickly, I simply carried that confidence into my endeavors with women my age.

I've been semiretired for a while but am working on a set to play out in the coffee house circuit, need the exposure badly.
