oh, yeah. Well I live currently in Mountain View, and I find one of the most boring places in earth (SunnyVale and Cupertino are worse), if you are a single guy. Just saying. The 20s are ment to have fun, get laid, drink booze, write some code, then go out again. You wont be 20some again, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy life (and start something at the same time). In here you are forced to live a suburbian boring life, even though you don't have kids. If you are married and have kids, you probably don't have any time anyway, so boring is ok. Everytime I go to work, I always think: Sigh, this place has such a great weather, but unfortunately it is wasted with this boring sprawling burbs.

You'll be shocked when you turn 30 that you can do all of those things in your 30's (and I suspect your 40's, 50's, and on...) :)

It is what you make it. I know plenty of people in the area who seem to have a good amount of fun. But it's always possible to go live in the city if you find the hard life too difficult to find in the valley. But an attitude that dwells on thoughts like ". . . but unfortunately it is wasted with this boring sprawling burbs" could probably suck the life right out of almost any experience.

And for those of us that have no interest in several of these things that are allegedly essential to "enjoying life" in one's 20s?

I live in MTV. I'll buy you a beer. We should do a HN meetup (doesn't have to be startup-specific).

You can always go to San Francisco when you feel bored. I lived in Menlo Park last year and did just that. But I think that the Bay area offers different kinds of fun things to do like hiking (have you been to black mountain? it's beautiful) and biking.

Yeah, Mountain View sucks, but that's easily fixed: just move to SF or Berkeley.
