  • 6 Reasons Why The Real World Sucks For Guys

     

    Leaving college is a life changing experience for many.  Some graduates don't know how to adjust while others thrive.  For some guys, graduating from college becomes a hard transition and at times you wish to go back to the good old days of doing nothing but late night partying.

    Here's 6 reasons why the real world sucks for guys.

    No More Freshmen Girls

    One of the best perks of college are the freshmen girls. Most upper classmen live to hook up with freshmen girls, who are looking to have a good time after graduating from high school. But once you get to the real world, you're more focused on career and goals.  Plus you're probably going to be one of the youngest people at your job, and you can't just use alcohol to try to hook up with a career woman. Not going to happen.

    Parties Suck Now

    Unless you have a very vibrant social life, parties kind of suck post college graduation.  House parties are hard to come across and you can't drink till you pass out at a club or bar.  On top of that there's no more drinking games.  You can't beat another guy in a drinking game and impress the girls, you're actually going to have to do work.

    "I'm Screwed" Replaces "Let's Screw"

    College days were all fun and games.  You slept around as much as possible but now it's hard to even get a date cuz you're so busy figuring out your life or too caught up with work.  When the work piles up and you can't keep up,  you're not thinking about who to screw, but how much you're screwed if you don't finish your work.

    Caged Once Again

    For many college graduates, it also means coming back home and living with the family.  It's happening more often, especially since the economy isn't doing so well and kids come out with thousands of dollars in debt.  You know what's worst for a guy?  You can't bring home a girl without your entire family finding out.  At least in school you kicked out your roommate, can't really kick out your family.

    Money = Power

    Having money now means you have power.  In college, you were broke but still got the girl because of your charm, althetic or drinking ability, that doesn't work in the real world.  You'll need to earn the dough to keep people around you.  No matter what anyone says, no girl wants to end up with a guy who has no future and makes no money.

    Failure = Eviction, Homelessness

    Once you graduate, failure takes a whole new meaning.  When you're in college, you can fail a class and still get by with a decent GPA but if you fail at your real job, you're going to get fired. And if you get fired, it's going to be a pain in the ass to get a new job and for many possibly a new place to live.

    Have you or anyone you know dealing with any of the above right now?  What are some other sucky real world situations for guys post college graduation?
