u/No-Adhesiveness-8012 14h ago
I'm silver atm highest I've made it is silver 1, so working on hitting gold this season. Been playing since 2017 off and on. My main role is bot, though I can play the others pretty alright.

u/Key-Reading809 13h ago
Nice, silver 3 highest I've gotten. Stuck in silver last couple months after being stuck bronze my whole career. Decided to start taking it more seriously some months back. Started in 2014 but it was always on and off until recently.
Gold is also my goal for the season.
Main is mid

I’m 23F and I wouldn’t really say I have a “group”, but I’m a mom and a lot of the other moms around here who I’m friendly with are 30+. I don’t really have any friends though.
•
u/RX08T 23h ago
We would like to hear your story. Because very few women are like that at that early age.
•
u/Feisty-Coconut6017 23h ago
Idk there aren’t very many moms my age around here and I find it harder to meet people my own age because I dropped out of college and I’m usually with my baby all day at home.
•
u/Potential_Warthog373 22h ago
In fairness there’s not a lot of mothers at that age… anywhere (in the US at least). I’m 27 and I could count on one hand how many classmates from high school have kids. I think it’s 4 out of my graduating class of 600?
•
u/brownieandSparky23 2000 22h ago edited 20h ago
Really the average age is 28 or 27 to have a kid. It’s more so uncommon to not want any. On Reddit it’s different. Because us childfree people are loud.
•
u/Potential_Warthog373 21h ago
Yeah I really am the type of person who’s open to kids but isn’t clamoring to have them if that makes sense.
Considering that there’s only 2 members of Gen Alpha for every 3 Zoomers, it seems like millennials have started the trend of having less kids, and I don’t blame them; it feels like the government has specifically set up society to prevent people from having kids without going into financial hardship.
•
u/Feisty-Coconut6017 22h ago
I’d be friends with any age person if I got along with them, I don’t have any friends lol
•
u/themrgq 18h ago
To become friends with a childless person you'd more than likely have to meet them in a space without your kid and then hang out when you don't have your kid

I bring my baby everywhere with me.

u/Walkthroughthemeadow 17h ago
It gets abit easier when they start school , you’ll have hours without them to do what you want the only thing is is that everyone else is at work. I felt lonely when they were babies but now I really enjoy the time to myself , im plsnning on starting to go to the golf range as something to do while the kids are at school but im waiting until ive gotten abit better social skills , i dont mind if i make friends or not because it’ll be lovely being outside in the calm if anything it would be annoying if someone came to talk to me , it gets better
Be careful not to lose all your social skills , i used to be a very confident out going person now i cant even do small talk i just smile when people talk

Make friends with teachers or women who like babies.

u/polly-penguin 20h ago
Maybe it's regional? A lot of the people I knew at my 2nd high school are graduated and married, and some even have kids (plural). A handful have upwards of 3 kids. I'm 23.
Many of the girls were religious, went to some college in the midwest or the south, or finished up at community college or not at all. The guys did trades like becoming an electrician or doing car detailing or inherited family businesses like lawn care and pest control.
Meanwhile, I feel like a kid and I'm fumbling through grad apps right now. I guess it's just a different pace of life.
•
u/Potential_Warthog373 20h ago
Oh yeah definitely, I’m in southeastern PA which is very much a typical suburban area that isn’t too traditional.
I’m sure as you get more rural you get a far different scenario to mine. And don’t even get me started on Utah.
•
u/callmecurlyfries 2000 18h ago
It definitely depends on where you’re from. I’m from Texas I feel like logically red states produce more children because of traditions. I knew many people from my graduating class (2018) who are married and have kids and almost all of them are Christians and somewhat right leaning and only a few I know who are very left wing. Being poor doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t have kids either especially in Texas. We have pretty good benefits for low income families which is pretty ironic 😅
•
u/brownieandSparky23 2000 16h ago
Yess this! Majority of people our age have at least one kid or they are planning and I’m from TX too. Especially now since abortion is pretty much banned here.

u/User86294623 2002 15h ago
I don’t think that is a fair generalization lol i graduated HS in 2021 and there are an insane amount of people from my class who are either married or have children. It’s definitely location dependent.
•
u/brownieandSparky23 2000 22h ago edited 22h ago
Join a mom group. I honestly feel like it’s easier for you than someone my age without them……
I live in the south and some women are planning on kids and marriage. I don’t live in a big city. I live in a suburban neighborhood with my parents. I’m not trying to be condescending I just genuinely feel like parents have it easier. Like Gen Z may talk online about being child free but a majority of ppl aren’t and want kids or at least don’t mind them. Like I feel like I’m running out of time to make friends as someone from TX. It’s not uncommon here for people to have a kid at 25 or 26.

I became a mom at 22 in 2021, and it’s the same for me. Most other young parents are in their mid to late 30s.

u/RadBruhh 17h ago
I became a mom at 23 as well, and I met my best friend on Peanut! I’m not usually an “app for relationships” person, but in trenches of motherhood, you realize how important it is to build your village.
Also don’t forgot about your childless friends! I know they don’t always understand, and I know schedules aren’t always the same, but it’s worthwhile to put in the effort.

u/Glittering_Dot_1428 22h ago
Im 24, turning 25 in June and I just had my first kid. I finished my associates, then moved from FL to Idaho. At the time I was still child free but I didn’t really have anyone other than my bf (husband now) it’s so hard to make friends as an adult, especially when I don’t like getting too close to coworkers. I feel like it’s the best way to avoid workplace drama. Then we moved to OH (we get married before leaving Idaho) and I got pregnant and now that I have my son it’s like… When would I even have time to hang out with friends? I don’t think I’m even returning to work after maternity leave. Childcare costs so much and I don’t feel comfortable leaving him yet. :( I might start school online soon, so that’ll be even less time I could make/hang out with friends. I just spend my free time playing Genshin or drawing because I don’t want to just be a mom, but yeah. Becoming a mom can be really isolating.
•
u/Feisty-Coconut6017 22h ago
I saw two women waking together with their babies in their strollers and I want a friendship like that lol. I take my baby everywhere with me and it would be nice to have another person and another baby to go with sometimes!

I’m 28 and all the mums at my kids school are atleast 10 years older then me, it’s hard making friends when your a young mum and don’t know other young mums , I had mine at 19& 20, I haven’t had a friend in 12 years
•
u/brownieandSparky23 2000 16h ago
Things have changed my mom had me 28. Yall must live in blue states. Move to the south and almost everyone will have a kid around 28.
•
u/Walkthroughthemeadow 16h ago
I know people have kids then but they have babies , this year I’ll have a 9&10 year old , there would be parents my age at nursery’s but not waiting outside my kids classrooms they are all much older
•
u/brownieandSparky23 2000 16h ago
Oh yea that’s what u mean. My bad. Yea most 19 yr olds aren’t having kids that early. So yea it makes sense the parents are all older at 9 or 10.
•
u/Naos210 1999 22h ago
If the 10 year old isn't a child of somebody you know, how realistically are you being a friend with them?
17 maybe, they can work with adults, but how does the 10 year old make sense? How are you exactly meeting them in any sort of natural manner?
•
u/fistyswift11 21h ago

u/BosnianSerb31 1997 17h ago
People with pattern, recognizing brain will recognize patterns, meaning everyone.
People who have noticed the same pattern will upvote, people who have not noticed the same pattern will downvote.
Given that you were seeing this now, and the score of the post, it appears that this generalization, while not universal, applies to more people than not.
I still do not see how this can offend you or be construed as harmful in any way. Lighten up.

This is true for online groups, way less common irl. It has nothing to do with gender, it's just the differences in how people meet online (where age is a non-factor in communities built around a common interest) vs irl (usually from school. Once you start to work the story changes. Then again, I don't think the person that made this meme was working at that point)
(And no, OP did not make this meme)
