This.
I'd also add more recent, Covid. I've noticed a lot more pilots either just do the head nod or do a fist bump, instead of a hand shake. As for Covid, I think it's just become acceptable now to do your own thing alone on layovers and not have that seen as something weird/negative. After Covid (almost) everyone understands.

I think that's fine. But, then again, I do mostly pink/red eyes followed by a day sleep. And it's kinda understood that the 11 hours following that is 'alone recovery time.' Either way, my usual brief is as follows: "What's your digits in case our outbound is T.U. and we have to change the van time. I'm probably gonna sleep/relax for X then maybe do this. Text me if you want to grab something to eat otherwise I'll see you at [van time]."
Unless it's someone that I want to hang with, or wants to hang with me, I don't mind the alone time at all. I always have something to catch up on or places I'd like to go.

Pro tip. If you are new you are more likely to get free drinks.
That said, I find many times on long overnights there is time to do both things. Go out on your own and plan to come back in time for food/drinks.
The reality of this job is that you will likely visit the same overnights fairly often. You may run out of things to do!

Pretty much guarantees not only a solo afternoon, but very, very little in the way of further inquiry.

Answering any inquiry with any off season sport question... "Is that a Football team?" and any variation of this much guarantees peaceful silence in the flight deck for the rest of the trip:
Bonus points if you bring manuals and figurines. Heck, if pilots can carry around all manners of travel guitars, boards, and bowling balls... then whatever goes.
