A lot of my friends have either gone bald or gained weight.

While yes it would be fun to stay young forever and pick up young attractive women, that isn't the case. Picking up 40+ women at bars just doesn't seem all that fun.

As for the copanionship issue, yes I would like to spend more time with my girlfriend than my buddies, just not on every friday night when there's drinking to be done

Another interesting cross-section of life is the newly single crowd. Many of these people although newly single choose to enter new relationships again. Force of habti? Or maybe being single and middle aged isn't that fun.
For the record, I'm 34. My wife is 28, Bajan (from Barbados), and totally hot.

I agree with what both you and Ozy_Flame posted. I do enjoy going out for a few drinks with my friends or colleagues from the office (although my wife is pretty fun at the pub too.) I definitely prefer watching the hockey game at the pub with the friends (watching with the wife is painful.)

With respect to hanging out, watching tele or a film, going out for dinner, going for a walk, I definitely prefer the company of my wife. I suppose I just enjoy doing these things more often now than when I was 22.
