I'm gonna sound boomer but I'm also surprised how sexualized kids are going out dressed by themselves nowadays, saw groups of 14-16 years olds wearing nothing at all, I didn't expect The Weeknd to have that kind of fan demographic.
True this. As a dad, there is no freaking way I'm gonna let my daughter dress like that.
(On the flip side, if I was still a teenage boy, I'd be all over this.)

Much like BIC, I know of some guys who got put on blast for basically daring to ask "Hey you're cute can I buy you a drink?"
The girls said no, dude backed off, next he knows he's getting blasted on FB for daring to approach them.
You want to know why in person dating is dead these days? That's why
I’m not trying to discredit anyone, but how do you get put on blast on Facebook (and know about it) from someone you literally just met, they don’t know your name and you just asked if you could buy them a drink?
It’s impossible. That’s why I feel like there’s always more to the story. Otherwise these chicks need to start solving cold cases.

Anyway, I went on date and I thought it went pretty well, but I think she just wanted business tips and tricks from me LOL. Considering the lack of a reply, following my post date text. Whatever, but I find it really ironic that they want something serious, but can't be serious enough themselves to just say hey not interested lmao.
If they're interested, you will know. They'll wanna hang out or sleep with you
we could start a whole other thread if we really wanna discuss the state of the dating world today. i only got out of it a year ago so it's all still very fresh in my mind as to how fucked up things are.

I have a few nieces and just the thought of parenting a girl gives me nightmares! I have two sons and I just tell them don't get the girl pregnant...

Related context: At my last visit with the paediatrician we asked when puberty starts and the doc says as early as 9 that you could see breast development which was kinda shocking to hear (periods usually follow 2.5y after breast development starts). Puberty has consistently gotten earlier and earlier over the decades due to better nutrition and, presumably, more chemicals in our water, air and food.
So the physical maturity of a 15 year old is quite different than it was 30 years ago (or 60 years ago), add to that our more liberal values now and it's no surprise that kids are dressing more provocatively now - what was our dress code for a college kid is now the dress code for a 15 year old.
My wife’s cousin has a daughter who is pretty reserved I think she’s like 13-14? She’s the typical kid you envision from when we grew up. They tried to limit her phone use, she still dresses fairly conservative etc. maybe a bit over the top with makeup following social media trends but I wouldn’t say she is physically mature
They had a get together last summer and their other friend brought over their daughter the same age. This girl has like double D’s hanging out of a tiny top, biking shorts with a huge ass bulging out blown out makeup and hair
Even the wife’s cousin was like embarrassed to have this girl around at their place :Lol a stark contrast

It's sad to hear some of these anecdotes about interactions between people.
It's a better investment for young men to buy a copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and read it a few times than to spend money on a sleeve tattoo, TRT, and hair transplants.

young and investment do not apply to 90% of people, who are you kidding

lol this generation can barely read and has the attention span of an average tiktok clip you expect them to what to read some 80 year old self-help book?
So i too have an interesting story about these young whipper snappers.
My buddy at work is a horn dog. He has like 3 ex wives and a basket of kids or something. But since we are all grossly overpaid, he can afford an interesting lifestyle.
Anyways, a couple of years ago they sent this gen z intern to him for a couple of months. GORGEOUS. blonde, big ass, big tits, dumb as a fucking post. He tried FOREVER.. LIKE FUCKING FOREVER to bone her. no luck. He showered her with gifts, basically gave her no work, and took her to all the industry events.. nope nada...
She finished her internship, he was super sad, and she went on to something else.
A few months ago, he teams me this pic and BOOM. there she was on Leolist. LIKE FUCKING thats her for sure. He used a burner phone, called her up and had her meet him at his house.
This hoe shows up, bitched him out and called him a stalker, AND THEN REFUSED to do him.
WHAT SORT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THIS!?!?!?!
He was FURIOUS !!!! im pretty sure he wanted to choke her out.
Moral of the story: Gen Z's are the worst. A whore with standards is right up there with Hitler.
This sounds like a good prologue to a porno

Despite the earlier and earlier physical maturity, I'd hardly think that people's mental maturity has moved up all that much. Supposedly, brain development doesn't fully complete until about ~25 anyway.
So the mismatch between physical and mental state gets even bigger, and I can't say that is a good thing at all.
Anecdotally, I'd also say that some of the older kids at elementary school seem to be gr 10 / gr 11 sized, even though their facial features still look gr 6 or 7.

This reminds me, i need to start a "burnout" fragrance, god i love the smell of burnouts
Pro Tip: Bring earplugs lol. It is LOUD. A couple of cool Americans gave me a tip one year - go get paper towel, wet it, and shove it in your ear. It helps.
I'll pass on this torture though. I'll listen to people sing bad karaoke over burnouts instead

So you're saying my problem is that I hang out with you old geezers (love you guys)
On the note of the physical maturity / mental maturity thing, I've been going on a few dates recently, and I personally can't date anyone under 24. On a physical attribute, people in their early 20s still look like HS kids to me, whereas people in their early 30s look like the new 20s (God, women in their early 30s are so baadd lmfao).
On the note of mental maturity, there's a clear lack of maturity between pre-quarter life crisis and post-quarter life crisis. AND before you geezers say something about that, it's a well documented thing. On a podcast I listened to this morning, the mid-life crisis happens when your children leave home and are grown up, leaving individuals who spent the last 20 years (or more) nurturing their kids questioning what to do with their life. Contrary to that, the quarter life crisis happened because of societal expectations. We grew up in a time where our parents would have been our age now and having kids, having their shit together (you'd think), and so now when we reach the same age our parents had us, you get questions of I need to do ____ by ____ age.
Someone I met recently started a community event to talk about the quarter life crisis and I think it's pretty cool to shed some light on what most people try pretty hard to shelter - the insecurities, vulnerabilities, etc. Similarly to what you guys have done for me - creating a space where I can process these thoughts. It's awesome to see people who see a need in the world and a desire to help.

Quarter life crisis is for sure a thing. I'd say I had mine when I was 25 and really started to worry about how tf I was going to afford an apartment on my own with no help whatsoever financially. My friends/coworkers were in the same boat as we began our careers and thoughts of marriage/kids/property etc were creeping in. It's a stressful thing and especially so if you feel like you have no guidance or direction in your life. But then again, some of us at that age (and even until now) have no such thoughts or worries. To me, this is where we separated ourselves from the friends/acquaintances that we think of as "left behind" when we see them now compared to where we think they ought to be by now. Recognizing the issues and finding solutions and making sacrifices is part of growing up. Some of us just never did.
FOMO is the #1 thing that keeps western civilization going.
I don't know Chinese culture, but I bet FOMO is just as strong in Chinese culture.
Everyone is trying to fit in and do the right thing so hard, but a remainer of people will always be fuck ups and misfits, and that's what the fentanyl / war / vaccine population control scheme fits in to keep the system functioning.
