Millennials Have Discovered 'Going Out' Sucks

Lmao! I am. I've just observed a HUGE atrophy in socialization skills due to overreliance on technology. The tools are never the issue. That wasn't what I was implying. The PEOPLE or their abuse of them are.

People my age (Millennials/Generation Z, depending on who you ask) can have productive conversations on and off a phone/computer, how many actual conversations have you actually tried having with younger people that weren't because of school and/or work?

fukk that I'm too tired to go out

 

[Black Cobain]

Point blank


these god damn baby boomers had it so easy. Get a dropout or get a HS diploma, and get a good factory job ....mogs was unskilled as fukk, and moving to the burbs . High School diploma now gonna get the majority of young people burger flipping job, unless you got a trade skill.

I cannot stress this enough, get into a trade school instead of college, a fukkton of trade workers right now are and ready to off pensions,, the younger you are the more valuable you are to trades

If you're a smart low key type of dude who doesn't wanna meet chicks online or at clubs then go hang out at coffee joints or book stores. The chances of encountering bird brains in their are far lower. If you live in a thriving city the options are endless

Yes, smart men who have fiances they don't want to burn.

Get into committed relationships Brehs

This is an extremely smart post. I'm assuming you read my book "Finding a non bird brain woman in 2017"

Seriously tho the type of women I like don't go to bars or clubs. They don't have to be a nerd either. Some people just don't like that scene. I did when I was a pup. I would never step foot in a club now.

I eat good at work from chicks that work at other companies in my building or even clients from the same companies.


The club scene is hella wack now.

Honestly, going out just gets old after a while. It was fun and exciting in college, but I'm 27 now and the whole process of going out and dropping stupid money on some beer and boring conversation just seems lame. Not saying I'm "Mr. Excitement" by any means, but there are only so many times you can ask a bytch about what movies and music they like before you realize that the answer is the same damn near every time.

Same. shyts seems lame and expensive now. I'm in my late twenties too and had my share of club nookie, but I've got my fiancé, homies, and crib where the drinks come cheaper than SF nightclubs/bars. I'm good

Many of my friends are younger (22-26) and a lot of them hate going out, got a struggle social circle, get frustrated with the art of the conversation and also are impatient with others.

It isn't just abuse of technology, it's the atrophy of face-to-face social skills. Sure there are many who have good mouthpieces but a lot of people these days struggle with just daily interactions. It's because social interactions are a skill and our society has evolved to a point that if you want you can have very limited interactions with others. And thus those interpersonal skills are taking an L. I wonder if depression rates are up, and if it can't be attributed to some of this too.

For example, this whole FA fad is inconceivable in previous generations. Cyber bullying? Sometimes when I talk to my parents about it they can't understand what the hell rhe issue is. And of course each generation comes with its critiques other generations, but for all the potential this generation has, it won't be realized if we devolve further down the rabbit hole. People outchea marrying robots and shyt lmao! And yeah that sounds unlikely and crazy but then again look at Japan.
I'm not anti-technology. I'm anti-using technology as a substitute for genuine real human contact.

clubbing got boring to me before i was even old enough to be legally allowed to enter the clubs.

i imagine clubbing now is similar to that club episode of ATLANTA and the chick tries to give paperboy her inatagram instead of phone number

Im glad i grew up when i did...in my early adulthood, philly was trying to bring house parties back (give me one of those instead of a club anyday)...or everyone who wanted to congregate found benches in the park or in someones alleyway to chill at...music and everything. this was when internet dating was still tabboo, so i had the best of both worlds...pulling socially awkward girls on AOL would give up the cooch for attention and pull whatever thots showed up at a house party

LoL

some of them were dressed like an old version of twista.

I'm not even gonna front for the coli, I feel more socially anxious since being out of college. I've been used to that framework that academia provides for meeting others (classes, library, house parties, dorm elevators, etc) for literally the majority my life. My social side is going through its own awkward "adolescent phase" if you will, and it truly has me like a deer in the headlights especially as someone that's not very sociable to begin with. I know that's not a approved thing to say but it is what it is. Now looking back it makes sense why extracurricular activities are not to be overlooked
