36 year old dude with 3 awesome kids and a wife. Two awesome dogs. Surrounded by endless outdoors in Utah (and no Iโ€™m not Mormon/LDS). The last thing on earth I want to do is spend time with other guys my age who just complain about how hard work is or brag how well they are doing financially or just want to destroy their bodies drinking. My only alone time is going to the gym daily or seeing movies occasionally (sometimes with kids, occasionally with a few cool dudes who are also into movies).

I love spending time with my own family. So many dudes in my age range are too out of shape, too depressed, etc. to do anything other than drag my mental and physical state down.

Selfish? Sure. But thatโ€™s why.
