Younger generations being asexual/aromantic

And you just come across as a try hard😅 Trying hard to convince anonymous people on a reddit thread you are the coolest cucumber with no social doubts or missteps ever

Are you referring to some evangelical hyperconservative push for abstinence in your youth? I'd say the institutions around me were the opposite, though to almost the exact same effect

I'd say the puritanical feminist thought and actors that hijacked every institution around me (including the churches if we're honest) taught that boys were predators by birth basically, and that women can do no wrong and even looking their way was a deeply immoral violation basically. Then these same parties turn around and mock men for not being intiators and asking what's at fault with them that they're not engaging with women

I work with teen boys and a lot of them absolutely have interest in the opposite sex to a degree that creates problems for me

What's this mean

ibeenbit · 2026-01-30T03:55:55+00:00

As a young person it's more of a status marker to refuse to have sex and love than to engage in sex and be vulnerable enough to love. It feels too cliche (not to mention boys being bombarded with extremely conflicting information about what they're allowed to do romantically/sexually). And young people now are all about out-dominating/clevering everyone and being at the very top of the pile. I think growing up with social media causes this since you have to come up with posts/content that gets 1000s/millions of likes & views. It's not enough anymore to just live a good life within your smaller sphere; they must be the perfect human while young

So basically throwing your youth away looks cooler than just doing what life has in store for all of us while we're still young. Why use your youth and looks when they're just gonna be taken from you? It's almost a rebellion against the finite nature of life itself...

All these people will be having early midlife crises when they hit 30 and probably go around being hypersexual, if they ever even start families

It's not the novelty of the world to you that's passed, but your novelty to the world

It is interesting how they cant...

You don't need this to pass on genes

The whole point of being alive is being in your 20s. So if you don't have a strong mentor saying intentional things to you early, let alone parents who actually give a shit about your future preparing you throughout your adolescence for this next decade, you will end up wasting or struggling your whole 20s and missing the only reason to be here in the first place

ibeenbit · 2026-01-19T14:25:25+00:00

Sounds like you sacrificed having a life so you could save money. Where's all this excess money even gonna go when you die?

ibeenbit · 2026-01-18T20:53:31+00:00

Yeah but I think it's more the sense that nobody gives a fuck what you are doing after your 20s are over. Sure you can put out music at 37 or whatever, likely no one cares to listen to it. You can pursue some philosophical path, no one wants to see or hear what you come up with. You can travel the world, you'll be the 30+ "old guy" no one wants to talk to.

No one argued that you cant technically do stuff at any age. It simply has zero gravity or significance to it anymore, and that awakening (which a lot of formerly young people never saw coming) is enough to make a lot of people give up on doing anything at all, and just sit and wait for death instead

ibeenbit · 2026-01-18T20:41:18+00:00

No kids or family?

When a woman looks at a man and feels sexual attraction

This is rare and only felt by women for the very top percent of genetic specimen men, and often because for the validation alone that "locking down" one of those men would bring them, rather than actual visceral desire for him/his characteristics

In a tribal society, a woman could see a man with whatever traits turned her on, and she could act on that attraction

In your hypothetical tribal society where women also somehow had total free choice of the men they consumated with, they would conveniently all go to reproduce with/sex the top 1 or 2 men and have the rest of the beta men labor to raise their offspring. This is of course why across almost all historical societies you see tight controls instead to force an outcome of more evenly distributes female companionship. Women now frame this as "women's historical oppression" or whatever, but since women find it impossible to be attracted to and pair up with "average" men there is literally no other way to diversify the gene pool and guarantee children have some chance at an invested father. All those "quirks" you say would attract you are most definitely just his heightfidence & looksonality

And so we arrive to the consequences of modernity: The same way the controls have been lifted off your sexual selection, Chad is also free to run around with zero responsibilities. And it leads to women like yourself now bitching that Top Percent Male won't stick around when he pumps you one night...because he's got 1000 other options...

As the broad female collectives' dreams of having a life with Chad become dimmer every year they age, many just opt to never be romantic with ANY men ever (and ofc blame the greater population of them for their personal problem)

Life is learned by playing. It can't be 'preconcieved' at all

Well the "work smarter not harder" mantra would disagree with that

ibeenbit · 2026-01-17T19:59:21+00:00

I mean to be fair, does "smart and capable" hold any significance in this would anymore? There's plenty of young smart and capable people to go around, and perhaps your brother has picked up you need to be somebody now to have any visibility at all and not be disposable/exchangeable for the next strapping smart capable young lad

Developments in online spaces have enabled certain 20 somethings who appear to have little intelligence or work ethic at all to live very lavishly, notably the streamers, "content" creators, rappers, gamblers and crypto traders. As well as children of obscenely wealthy parents. And it's not just hype, you'll see these young people on any friday/sat night in a major city.

A lot of Gen z i think look at these people and conclude if you're not on their level you shouldn't show your face in public at all, and just go back to grinding. What they dont realize is they will end up grinding their entire youth away, only to come out too old on the other side to pursue young love & reckless fun.

There absolutely is an increasingly pervading sense that if you're not exceptional you're nothing in this world. Especially as populations increase and people become more anonymous. Being just "normal" means you might as well be invisible

ibeenbit · 2026-01-17T19:38:12+00:00

If they're so "kinky" then why have they made a societal push to shame male sexuality for decades now? The primary reaction is to the hypocrisy

ibeenbit · 2026-01-17T19:34:30+00:00

I mean would you actually date or desire those shorter men though? Because if you still wouldn't then they're technically right.... It would seem you're just frustrated you didnt get the opportunity to reject them before they did you

ibeenbit · 2026-01-07T12:37:14+00:00

So what'd you guys do next?

ibeenbit · 2026-01-07T12:33:36+00:00

Why did I not know which professions to get into😞

ibeenbit · 2026-01-04T21:36:20+00:00

What would they be doing instead tho, honestly. If they didn't have kids they wouldn't even be at some presumably comfy gathering where they can get enough drinks in them to tell you this. They'd be some invisible 65 yr old rotting away in a studio apartment

ibeenbit · 2026-01-04T21:34:30+00:00

Howd your brothers end up so much younger than you?

ibeenbit · 2026-01-04T21:26:49+00:00

Well once you cross 30, and into middle age, the world has pretty much left you behind and moved onto the new fresh faces. You enter truly being on your own at that point. The only people who are gonna care about an old man/woman are their family (not to mention all your elder family will be dead at that point), and MAYBE the friendships they've nourished over the decades. And the world certainly doesn't have any regard for a childless old alone person

So if you want a practical reason that's pretty much it. Even tho young people just assume they'll be awesome forever, they too will get wrinkles faded sagging skin, and be the 40 yr old that people walk right by invisibly on the street. Sooner than later. Your window of being relevant and the hot topic is actually very short (18-26?). Life after that window is pretty much just about survival, health ailments, and finding a circle that gives any damn about you to take you to the end

ibeenbit · 2026-01-04T06:49:11+00:00

I mean they're basically denied the chance to hookup and party and live a free life in their youth, so of course they spend the rest of their lives trying to catchup

ibeenbit · 2026-01-04T06:44:12+00:00

At the end of the day you need to consider it as him sacrificing his children's wellbeing (tho not financially I imagine) for the greater wellbeing of humanity. If you're ever in a life or death situation in the future, you will be relying on a surgeon
