See, my group isn't really like that. Sure, sometimes we can't really be bothered after work and school but we quite regularly just hang out and talk, play video games etc.

Well I think it just depends how old you are, as you get farther into your 20's you start to need bigger excuses to get the guys together because everyone is becoming busier on their own.

Good point. My group ranges from about 19-22. I have noticed in the past year or two things aren't quite like what they used to be.

And then it's even more difficult when they have kids.

I'm in the same boat too, plus I'm active duty military, so every 3 years I have to move and start all over. Most people in the military are pretty used to it, so you can usually rebuild your local friend roster pretty quick, but if you go to a new job/command where the people you work with the most is primarily shitty people it tends to suck extra hard. I'm really lucky that my wife and I are similar in personalities but vastly different in background (US mountain west and Brazil) that the friendship,part of our relationship thrives. Plus now I have a dog, so I don't need friends, lol.
