I live in a retirement community. So daily.

Depends on the season. June/July we spend a lot of time socializing (and volunteering) at our swim club.

Rest of the year - at least every other weekend we have plans with friends either as a couple thing or me and female friends.

Maybe 5-6 times a year we’ll spend a weekend with friends either- skiing, visiting someone out of town, hosting visitors, girls trip, etc.

And 1-3 times a week I’ll see my friends at the gym and catch up briefly and/or meet for a walk or other exercise.

I’m 45 with teens. Time has definitely increased since they’ve gotten older and we’ve build more community. We rarely got babysitters when they were little but would get together with other families and I had a monthly moms night.

I was in the almost never camp but most of us have kids late HS and college so everyone looking to socialize more now.

WOH. Usually once a week for dinner with one of two families. And a lunch or late coffee with a friend separate and just me. More in summer at the pool. We wil lski with some friends a couple weekends in a row this month. We also spend a lot of time with grandparents.

I work in the office full time. I see my main group of friends about once a month or more often if something is happening for us to get together. We do plays, concerts and brunch/dinner. Other friends it is hit or miss. We chat but might only see each other once a quarter or so.

Never. I wah, kids in college.

Sport parent and I have very limited time. Almost none. Plus my teens are very social but don't drive yet. This is a brutal combination for not having free time for my own social calendar.

I have lots of acquaintances, but not many close friends. The one I do have a see every other month.

I am a introvert who works FT and has busy kids. I can't imagine socializing a few times a week.

I’m a SAHM. I walk with one friend once a week. I have lunch with a friend maybe once every month or two. That’s about it, unless you count volunteer activities or timing swim meets as “hanging out.”

FT Hybrid schedule, one DS in 7th grade. DH works A LOT (12hour days, usually 6 days a week). Honestly, I don't really have friends locally. I have amazing friends that live around the country, and I will have FT calls with them, we go on trips together 1-2 times a year, plus visiting each other. I get what I need from them and do things on my own in my area.

I work part time - probably on average get together with friends 1-2 times a week. After the holidays it was busier - I think the week after break I got together with friends 4-5 times? That’s not the norm though.

Work full time. Maybe 3-4 times a month.

This is sort of where I am in life. Everything is so “busy”. When I have a moment of free time, I want to sit at home, relax under a blanket, read a book, catch up on a series, etc. I don’t want more plans and obligations. That sounds horrible, I know. You know the relationships I find most fulfilling in this stage of life? The short interactions I have every day with gym regulars.

I see friends every weekend at some point. I have friends who are hyper-local, I agree that helps. I go on walks with people, host people or get invited to other people's homes for pretty informal things. Recent example is inviting people over to watch NFL playoffs.

I prefer not to do weeknights but occasionally do. Maybe once every other month.

I have a group of friends who are not hyper-local but in the DMV and I see them about once a month typically.

I am noticing your question was very specific to socializing as an individual. My weekend is socializing is nearly always with couples if I'm inviting over or getting invited. So not like I'm doing things without my spouse. But I do a fair amount individually as well as does my spouse.
