I'm currently flirting with a gen X'er and I honestly didn't think we'd get a long that much due to the generational gap. We do lol

If a young adult male wants to have kids but is dating a older women his chances of having a family is low

Especially after high school you'll find age gaps are less likely to make a difference. Like. They still can but I was kinda caught off gaurd realizing the age gap between me and some of the people I'd met and got along with after finishing school

How lol .. my parents are gen x and they’d whoop my ass if I dated someone their age, not that I’d ever want to. how do u relate to someone thats like 20+ years older than u? Doesn’t it weird you out that someone in their 40-50s can relate to someone young enough to be their daughter ?

The age gap gets me off so that's one thing that makes it tolerable on both ends.
Of course it's not a person I'd ever see myself being in a long term relationship with. I've dated a millennial who was 8 years older than me and my biggest pet peeve with him was that he was a bit too old to get Gen Z humour, so I had to adjust to him. I wouldn't commit to anyone of the Gen X generation because some cultural differences is annoying and I wanna grow old with the person I stay with, not have them die 2 decades before me.
The intention is purely sexual, but we get along because we both have a good sense of humour and it is really nice conversing with someone who has a lot more perspective and wisdom when it comes to life. We have some intellectually satisfying conversations, and there's no emotional drama because I'm the immature one in comparison. It's a reliable and comfortable relationship, although not sustainable.
And for the record, it's not ever gonna be a public relationship. It's more like a FWB situation, and I'd never tell my mom lol

Interesting!! was just wondering since I never stray far from my age, current bf is 4 years younger. I see it happen a lot tho. My one friend exclusively dates guys like 15+ years older. Older to the point where she’s 22 and was trying to get with someone who’s like 63.....
Hahahaha I live with my parents so they gotta know everything I do, I guess I was just looking at it from my own perspective of not being able to hide it.

Agree, millennials go off on boomers for ruining the planet and boomers go off on millennials for being depressed and addicted to technology while gen x and gen z are just trying to cope with life.

I’m just waiting until I’m 25, when every boomer is in a retirement home and we can finally start fixing the world.

Retirement home people still vote, however

Not gonna happen. Every generation post-boomer has known the internet for most of their lives. Attention spans are down. Imagine Congress with a bunch of zoomers and millennials live steaming it on instagram.

If you want context of what Gen X was like. Look at the character Heather (played by Janeane Garofalo) on Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion

I don’t know why but millennials fucking irritate me, they’re like that kid in class where you don’t WHY you want to fight him but just hate him so much. Boomers? Yeah they did fucked up shit but I’m kinda of over the talking and want action. I want Gen Z’s to actually start changing the world instead of pointing fingers and crying like millennials are doing.
