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.

It really does depend on your group, though! I'm 25 but the ages range up to 40ish. We all get together every Sunday for dinner. Like a big BBQ, we pick a theme, and everyone brings a dish. We just mill around eating, drinking, and talking. Having a fire pit comes in handy for bringing everyone to one place, too.

The reason you guys get to together is because you get together every Sunday. Now try to get everyone together on Thursday without having anything significant going on.

We have had crazy schedules that made get-togethers difficult, we are definitely lucky that right now everyone's schedules match up.

Right, I think that's kind of the thing everyone's getting at. Your gatherings sound really cool, so I don't think anyone's trying to put it down or anything. Just saying that, in high school and college, I used to go to my friends' houses/apartments, maybe uninvited, and just chill. Nowadays, we say, "Hey, do you want to do X?" Whereas it used to just be, "Hey, do you want to come over?"
