Come on Slim. You know kids today know everything and don't really need or want the advice attributed to years of experience.
Exactly what I thought when he responded and simultaneously said he was a mature adult, but that he basically was reliant on his parents for everything. You can preach, but it falls on deaf ears.

Talk to kids at my work all the time. Dating if anything, is easier now than it’s been since the late 60s. Girls are very accommodating, and casual hookups happen all the time.

No I am just busy working, also I didn't think the thread would get that many replies but it's either old men who are out of touch with the modern gen z dating scene or like manosphere people trying to hamster a little.
We here are probably much different than you, the 'modern gen z' isn't all that original other than experiencing delayed adulthood, but god bless, they have mastered the selfie taking look face necessary to attract carrot eating girls. I think maybe you are a yak shaving popola hunter...

I think you'll find that many of us would have kids that are Gen Z and will have first hand experience with that "Gen Z Dating Scene". As we're watching our kids go through it. And we have the experience to tell them what they're doing wrong.

I've heard it said over and over through the years about how this generation has it harder is different, blah blah blah. I'm not saying I had it worse, I didn't either. But I have close connections to my grandparents and that's where things were really hard. If you were really lucky and hit it right, like one of my grandfather's, it was fighting WW1, depression, fighting WW2. Listen to those stories about choosing between housing and food, being overseas for 5 years, massive shortages, then listen to kids whine about it being too hard now because girls like the cute guys.

There's the expression in the UK often used about standing on the shoulders of Giants, and that's how I feel about the Americans that came before us. We all have it pretty easy in comparison and there's little differences I see in dating stuff except
1. In the late 60s early 70s it was very easy to get laid.
2. When AIDS started people freaked and got restrictive.
3. People got used to the risk.
4. It's been opened wide now by tinder, tiktok, etc and it's very permissable for young women to be promiscuous.

The OP could easily date civvie girls if he wanted, he might need to adjust his standards.

So true @BIGBOB62 , we have the internet now, many youngsters grew up in the internet era, back in the day the best we had was the encyclopedia, it took some reading to gain knowledge, now, everything is just a click away, character nowadays ain’t what it used to be, things are accelerated to the point that kids brains aren’t being challenged, have you ever seen a kid try to determine your change back when making a purchase, if a computer doesn’t automatically figure things out for them, they in trouble, either they’ll short change you or give back to much. Much respect to your military grandparent, I’d love to hear his stories.

This is some boomer thinking. Can't speak to how dating was in the past, but it isn't "easy" but any means today. I'd be surprised if you've actually tried using any dating apps. SA or any other where money is exchanged doesn't count.

As far as "kids these days" only having to worry about the difficulties of dating, it reeks of pure ageism and ignorance. Claiming that people today don't have it as hard as people did the past so as to render a value on the difficulties of today is inherently something which can only be spoken from a position of privilege, something many people today don't have.

You said it all, I couldn’t agree more !!!!

I get tired of listening to people in my generation complain. What Americans generally complain about is 1st world problems.

Granted, they have their set of challenges which are unique to their generation. Every generation has their own challenges. But, I look at the opportunities they have, and the knowledge they have at a very young age, and it’s amazing.

They are world travelers before they get out of high school, they have scholarships lined up to multiple universities, before they begin college, they have internships. Most I see and know have zero interest in dating. They are busy carving out their niche in society.

When they complain, it’s about not enough positions being open in the school of their dreams because of quotas preventing them from getting accepted. I really feel bad for them, they have to take a full ride to a different university. Or, my favorite, when high school students that are too busy with extracurricular activities to fill out scholarship applications. Hell, their parents will pay, why bother filling out an application as it interferes with my FaceTime, Twitter time. And, then they complain and cry and moan and groan when their friends all got scholarships and they didn’t.

I've dated younger Women. A few in Generation Z. I've used Tinder and I can see what some Gen Z would be able to complain about. The girls dating pool becomes far bigger and she can be more choosy. I've done ok on Tinder. However that's where in person approach works. Especially since it appears many don't have that social skill. They've been amazed going out to a bar after work, how I just approach Women. I've pushed 2, straight up gave em alley oops and they didn't dunk it. One of em actually fucked up and cost me a hookup with her friend.

There is always a way. What I will agree on is every generation has it's set of struggles. However there are a lot of perks for Gen Z growing up with all these improvents. All the technology at their fingertips.

I can see how it may difficult for young folk to get a date nowadays that ends in sex, I mean many are using a dating/hookup app to do their talking, on the app they portray a certain self, the best photos etc. then comes the big let down when the two parties meet face to face, people seem to be one way on social media and totally different in person. Whatever difficulties we have now or back in the day, whatever happened to just being real, in person, approaching someone you find appealing and striking up some converastion with that person without using some lame pick up line, just be natural, a bit of a sense of humor, no expectation of anything. The trouble I see with hookup apps is most of the prep work is done via the app, not face to face, both parties make certain statements via text, all the prep work in the goal of the girl being ready to lay down on first meeting, like a fast food drive-through, you speak into an electronic box, pull up, lay down a few bucks and almost instantly you got food to shove into your face, this is the expectation of young folk, everything is a click away according to technology, but when it comes to getting with a willing female you run into a brick wall of rejection, now here you are asking mongers what the heck to do. You don't have to have tons of game, but a little game goes a long way.

What is 'boomer thinking'? Is there a list?

Not going to argue with your concepts of the online dating scene. I will say that you have perfectly described the AMP business model and like McDonalds, is one that will not only survive, but thrive in todays world.
10 years ago, I was in New Orleans, walking back to my hotel from a night on Bourbon street. Walked past a strip club where a couple girls were outside trying to coax guys in. They ask me, and I say no thanks, done for the night, heading back to my room. Pretty little girl grabs my arm and says "how about a girl in a go-cup?".


Sale, I'm a sucker for good marketing.

It’s confusing of sorts of OP to start a thread basically asking for assistance, we give it based on our personal experience, he says we don’t know what we’re talking about and are out of touch with current standards. Well if he knows then why bother asking. Perhaps he should have a sit down with his dad and uncles.
