I feel like the two of you understand exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm in my 30s and most of the stuff kids talk about just seems stupid and pointless or juvenile to me, but I try my best to fit in and apparently I'm doing a good job at it because they all seem to want to me around me when I put in the effort to be like their ideal version of who they want to hang out with

however this is stuff that doesn't really personally interest me that much and when none of those kids put in the same effort for me it all feels like wasted time

wouldn't say I'm an introvert, I like doing stuff with others, can spend 10+ hours in a big group without feeling drained. it's just that doing stuff alone is also fun and fulfilling

definitely agree that it would be cool if there were standardized ways for more mature-minded people to meet each other without having to filter through noise for days but I have no idea how to tackle this without flat out rejecting entry for certain people (or else they bring their friends, then friends of friends, and it gets ruined and becomes noise again over time)
