I think that unrestrained sexual promiscuity is bad for both men and women, but as women have more access to sex than men - it disproportionately affects women.
That seems like a fairly legitimate opinion, and there’s nothing quantifiable about it.
If we were to follow your line of logic, none of the opinions you gave to me are legitimate either.
Prima fascie and self evident opinions are often considered legitimate or valid.
Fair enough, but they’ve been in response to conjecture and have often been followed by asking for qualification.
Didn’t you say that you don’t believe the studies saying that 30% of men under 30 are sexless?
Are you changing your opinion on this?
Lack of social skills is IMO a contributor. Part from Covid, part from being the “iPad” generation.
I’m starting to, given some of the dialogue. I still think the data set is likely skewed by participant selection but I’m opening my mind to the idea that something is wrong for sure.
I couldn’t imagine my early 20’s in quarantine.
Maybe if some of these kids get their dicks wet they’ll realize sex is a blessing, not a curse, and get back on track.
I appreciate your candor in this.
If you’re interested, I can spam a few (more than a few) studies that discuss this topic.
I think another factor is Gen Z just doesn’t on average have enough money to do things. I remember going to the young people bars and clubs 10 years ago (I’m 36), and being middle of the pack as far as age, but lots of 21, 22, 23 year olds. Now when I go back, it’s basically only people around my age. Not much for the under 30 crowd. I think they just can’t afford $7 beers. More of them are living at home, than my generation. I thought things were rough coming into the professional job market around 2010, but in hindsight, things were better than now.
This is anecdotal, but all my Gen Z relatives are homebodies. Friday and Saturday nights they almost always stay in. I go out probably 4x what they do.
They’re all at home smokin that premium medical stuff.
Couch locked, doing dabs & whatnot.
Maybe, but socializing is free. Plus they have apps now. Just swipe and voila, no tabs necessary.
I think it depends on the sector. Tech is taking a bath, but in general the economy is strong, and job reports are certainly stronger than the ‘08-‘12 era.
I’ve noticed GenZ simply doesn’t want to work despite the whining about lack of opportunity. There is a sense of entitlement, and a sense of ennui around opportunity when they have one, as if they’re above it, so they wind up on mom’s couch yelling for meatloaf. Dicks unsucked. I think I’ve posted this before, but it summarizes what I see: Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy — Wait But Why
I typically don’t spend time outside of the workplace with this generation so I wouldn’t really know. I can say that a large university is about 20 minutes from my house, and I’ll occasionally inadvertently stumble in to a bar wall to wall with late teen to early twenty something’s, so I don’t know how widespread any of their stereotypes actually are.
It still could be that people responding to surveys and studies are the ones at home doing nothing so the data is skewed. We used to call that bullshit junk mail, then spam, trashed it and moved on. But I’m from the 1900’s, so what do I know I guess.
True, but there are things that are just different than when I was that age. Work from home is fairly common. Stunted social skills from missing social development years due to Covid. Stunted social skills is going to put a hamper on game or rizz as they call it.
If houses and rent weren’t so expensive I feel that would solve majority of the complaining.
I have sympathy for my generation, this shit sucks (in America, don’t know about other countries).
Perhaps the American dream in the future may be leaving this shit country idk…
If houses and rent are out of reach for you, what does it mean?
(Hint: the answer isn’t blaming America)
Yet here you are, with a world class education and some very comfy arrangements with all of the amenities.
America might suck, but it certainly sucks less than everywhere else
How many other places have you lived in though? You never know.
Not comfortable enough
Work harder!
