Spun Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 In some ways, I think the millennials are missing out on some things because of the smart phone. I love to read the old fashioned way by way of books, magazines and news papers along with the internet. Yes, some of those modes are available on the web but I don’t think they are utilized as much. It saddens me to see newspapers, magazines and bookstores struggle. I think many millennials have an amazing passion for all the opportunities provided by current day tech advances. I learn a lot from millennials. They have very different takes on many things. As for the lazy stereotype, I think when we are young, we all have things to work on and many of us change for the better over time. I have confidence that the same will apply to millennials. Borrow from the past while keeping pace with future. I am concerned about the challenges that are facing millennials. Their world is different but I think they will do alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Society has made it very difficult for boys/men to date. If you make a pass at a girl/woman and you're not a solid 10, you're a "creep". Women only want to be hit on by top tier men. I feel sorry for young men these days. Being left behind academically as well as societally. Ultimately both young men and women are hurt by this societal shift.

Lots of truth here. Women have also fully embraced ghosting as an acceptable behavior, when in fact it is very damaging. Men are still responsible to do all the pursuing when it comes to relationships, but women want equality in every other way. Online dating is the biggest hoax. Women can literally just scroll through hundreds of messages and have their pick of the litter. I could be wrong, but I think the prevalence of overweight and obesity has produced a pool of attractive, eligible women that is much smaller than the pool of inquiring males of comparable physical condition. Most good-looking women I know have broken up with 10+ men (when they get bored) but have never been on the receiving end of a breakup. Women these days are largely heartless. As a man, to be successful in dating and maintain the control/keep the woman pursuing you, you must achieve a top 1% body AND act like you don't care about women. It is the rare guy that women feel they actually have to compete for; probably 1% of men are in this position, but probably at least 25% of women are. In other words, 1% of men can have whatever woman they want, and 25% of women can have whatever man they want. This is why you often see "3" women with "8" guys, because guys are tired from the unbalanced game, and women know it.

Gray Beard Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A good looking woman comedienne had a line that went something like: ”The guy is wondering during the entire date whether or not he’s going to get lucky. I already know.” That was from about 20 years ago, and it’s been true pretty much forever. If guys want to whine about how women have the upper hand, they should realize it isn’t anything new, especially if they’re dealing with attractive women. There are guys who are 4s who want women who are 8s, and it ain’t happening. There also girls who are 4s who want guys who are 8s, and that may happen for a one night stand, but not for long term.

Bill from NYC Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I had not seen this thread and I find it to be amazing. Every woman I have ever talked to about computer dating tells me what a horror show it is for them, and I have been hearing story after story for many years. Having said that, all of them are over 40 years old, and some are older than 50. My male friends tell me that it is just so simple for men on these various dating sites. Think about it.....50% of the men out there are married. Probably 5% are gay, perhaps more. 15% are alcoholics. 10% drug abusers? Does that sound OK? At least 5% are various kinds of perverts. 5% are scammers, and I am being kind. 5% Compulsive gamblers? Now, who is in and out of jail? Who is violent? Who would prefer the daughter of the woman? Who is on heavy medication? Who is still in love with his ex? Who doesn't want to work? And of course, some of the above suffer from 2, 3, 4, 5, or more these issues. My point is that there are very few normal men out there. If I was not in a serious relationship there is an unlimited supply of women out there, and NOT because I am so great. But if you look OK, have some cash, can hold a conversation, have a sense of humor, and are a decent guy, you are in a HUGE minority. Believe me, when the day comes that I am such a bargain, it is a sorry state of affairs LOL!!! Guys, just have confidence. You will do better in your 50's and even 60's than you did at 30. You won't be getting the 10s any more but you will have a very good selection. There is no competition.

Augie Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) My wife just hired the 30 year old daughter of some very close friends of ours to be her assistant. My wife works with a lot of very highly credentialed people. Her last boss was Duke, then Harvard and her current boss was commencement speaker at UVA law school, but they knew they had to work their way up. The wife’s a bit sensitive she “only” has a math degree from a small/medium size school you may never have heard of. Her new assistant has 4 undergrad degrees and two masters from Georgetown. They flew to NYC Sunday for several days of meetings. The flight back is 6am Thursday, meaning they leave the hotel before 4am. The 30 year old made a funny face when mentioning what time she would have to get up. ? It had to be done that way to make it back here for the next appointment. This is going to be a lesson in how to get ahead in “the real world” for her! Classes only happen during “polite hours”. Work gets done when the work needs to get done. .

My wife enjoys her job so much she doesn’t mind the constant travel and working from the Delta Sky Club. She goes up Sunday nights so she’s not late for anything on Monday. Being a family friend, the new assistant was well aware of (or thought she was) what she was getting into. There may be a policy, but you do what you need to do if that’s what works best for you. It beats moving full time to NYC, which is what her boss wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
