Peep the current dating trends among Gen Z and how to engage a love interest on social media
Back to the last point, older millennials are young enough to understand there are many ways we’ve done things for many years that aren’t right, but a little too old to know just what those things are. They aren’t ahead of the curve on identifying a new way we must eliminate oppressing and sexist and racist and inappropriate traditions. They’re always just behind it, frantically scrambling to delete Tweets and emails after learning they may have said or done something they weren’t supposed to. I can’t count the number of 40-something men who’ve said they wonder when the ax will drop on them in the #MeToo movement. Meanwhile, young millennial men know just what to do to make sure that never happens.
Millennial women and men are, in fact, less likely to have children than previous generations. Some call it selfish (like the pope…and my mom), but have they considered our reasons? They’re pretty valid. Here are compelling reasons a number of millennials aren’t having kids.
How early? We aren’t even sure, and we are afraid to know the answer. But, look: our parents thought it was shocking that we started having sex around age 16. And we thought we were old enough. So what does that mean? That today kids do it at…12? 13? And if we don’t just give them birth control and say, “have fun” that we are the close-minded ones?
The younger generation disdains the 9 to 5 life. They wrongfully bash the 9 to 5 corporate life, believing it’s the death of the soul. They’re all driving Uber while pursuing a passion project with no plan for retirement, and many without health insurance.
I feel like these days, everybody has some friend—who is just a friend—whom they’ve slept with. It might be someone who was a long-term friends-with-benefits, who resorted back to being a friend. Something tells me my grandmother didn’t have some male friends that she hung out with regularly, whom she also once slept with.
Here are signs that you're one--whether you want to admit it or not.
