Very good question - here is my take on life here:
I/we do not play golf or participate in any other sport, we do not drink or "party" but pre our current situation, we were very busy with:
Clubs - classical music, Mac computers, knitting, art appreciation, jazz, travel, book clubs, etc - 1400 or more such clubs available - all filled with wonderful friendly people
The Squares - music and dancing every evening - just listening and watching is fun - plus the vendor nights - I have some beautiful things in my home that were purchased from vendors in the squares
Lessons/Classes at the LifeLong Learning College - decorating, field trips to thrift shops, cooking, art lessons - the classes that are available are endless
Small neighborhood groups - cards (Hand and Foot, a game I never heard of before moving here and now I play often with friends), Mahjongg (lessons available at rec centers and now I play with my friends - even went on a cruise with them just to play Mahjongg), also just small social gatherings in the neighborhood (every neighborhood seems to have an informal network of activities)
There are many people here who do not party, drink or play sports and who simply enjoy the beauty of this place every day.
Disappointments here? - absolutely none!!
