1985-1995 seems like the usual definition, shorter than a typical generation because of just how much happened culturally.

That's not how a generation do though. A generation is how long it takes between having a child, and that child having a child.

Not necessarily. Gen Y can be 1980-1994, +-1-2 years. There probably isn't one specific figure, but 80s to mid 90s is typically the universally agreed age range of gen Y. 20-35 age range

She probably had 100+ texts that all said roughly the same thing you did.

I'm not even exaggerating.

You're probably right, but when they have a boring ass tinder profile with no description or any pictures that are remotely interesting worth commenting about, then they should know there's a trend.

It's hard enough initiating conversations with strangers online on a dating site, but doesn't help they have nothing interesting to even bring a conversation up in the first place. I'm gonna give up on tinder. It's the guys that are the ones who are posting the interesting conversations and trying, while the girls are boring as fuck on there.

I mean FFS, I started the conversation, and she literally had nothing on her profile for me to even bring up anyway. Yeah and I don't see anything wrong with asking her weekend, because Saturday was already over. Literally nothing in her pictures or profile had anything interesting for me to say something about. Girls these days online are so fucking entitled.

ugh girls and sex are not something that you need to win in order to be happy. yall need to quit putting your self worth into whether youve had sex or not.

its not that big of a deal, and its never going to happen at all if you always bring yourself down and refer to yourself as a kissless virgin

how about just focus on being a good person. someone who would be worth having a relationship with in the first place.

This. I'm 30 and haven't had a date for 10 months. Don't put yourself down, or it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Have confidence in yourself, make yourself a better person (work on your image, worn ethic, etc) and put yourself out there. Talk to a bunch of women IRL just for the hell of it(assuming you are hetero, otherwise men). Go to the social places where women usually go to like school, bar, some kind of fun activity club, and even the gym and work. I would tread carefully on the last two though. A lot of people meet through friends of friends or at work, but the latter you have to be really mature about it, and maybe not pursue anything unless they are in a diff department, or one of you leavea.

Personally online dates hasn't worked well for me. The women are boring there, especially if they have nothing to go off of on their profile and they ghost a lot. You might have a better time with online dating, but I prefer in person with people I know

I get you. I think you need to realize that most people aren't like you, though. They are definitely out there, but your average person isn't motivated like this, especially as they get older and settled. Finding friends like the kind you want takes more effort on your part. I was a much more unhappy person before I accepted these things and found different ways to connect with people that I enjoyed being around. Hobbies with social aspects and trying a few meet up groups might help get you started at least meeting people with your mindset.

yeah, just trying to find where i can meet these people. I realize that most people as adults don't initiate that far too. I'm so used to being alone, its to get out of that mindset of reaching out too.

Thanks man. I'll think of a way. I've got to start going out more on the weekends and join a club or some kind of organization to better myself.

lol I've met a lot of people. I'm not sheltered. Not all extroverts are like that and not all introverts are boring. But its hard to get the feeling out that most people who are social already have their own circle of friends.. and its hard to make friends the older you get. Not trying to make excuses, but this is true to a degree. I have some good friends at work, and other coworkers even call us best friends, but I would never ask them to hang out because I know they won't as they already have their own big group of family and friends.

I think I understand what you're saying. I don't think you're being judgmental, but most people seem to be happy just trucking along in their day to day lives. It's not all that common to be driven to do more, be more, experience more, which is probably why when you do all the planning people might be down, but don't ever even think to plan things outside the same old stuff themselves. Or to plan anything, because being an adult is busy and tiring and a lot of people just chill when they get downtime even if they wouldn't mind doing something else.

If you really want to meet different types, maybe look for some meet up groups in your area or something along those lines.

I agree. I need to try more, but the older you get the harder it is to make friends too. I just want to better myself and stop being depressed and live a normal life. I want to have a connection with people who can help me be more social, and do fun stuff with on a regular basis. True friends are hard to find. I don't mean to offend anybody here. This isn't bait. It's a rant. When you've been this way for most of your life, it's hard to get out of that mindset or even think its possible to get out of. It feels like a dream.

It sounds like you are judgemental and nobody smart enough would want to hang around you

No, i don't want to hang out with boring introverted losers with no drive in life. In my group of friends, I actually try to initiate hangouts, but now I've just given up and said fuck it, I'd rather be alone. And then I have that boring coworker who wants to meet up in the same fucking restaurant, order the same fucking burger wearing the same fucking clothes and haircut since the first day I'v eknown him, and talk about games I don't give a fuck about.

Who doesn't want to hang out with people who aren't depressing, have a social life, and can actually push them to be better people? Someone remotely fun. Everybody does.

If you have outgoing friends who are decent conversationalists, like to go out and hang out other than the movies or a burger joint, and try to improve themselves and help motivate you, you keep them. If you have loser friends that have no drive to better themselves and stuck in the same place, and are a bore to talk with/aren't simulating, then you may have to cut them.

so cool people don't want to hang out with you because you're not cool enough? i mean, im surprised you didnt learn this stuff in kindergarten. if you want advice, id say to focus on ways you can bring value to people.

not talking about 'cool people.' Just regular people with social lives. People that make plans mutually with me to do fun stuff. I've had other friends in the past where I initiate all the hang outs and they'd go to all of them, but they hardly ever make plans. When you've had these kind of friends for a long ass time(think middle/high school), its hard to see a way out of this. You would feel like you are fucked forever and that all the social people have their own circle of friends and are closed off from everyone else.

The friends that I hang out with.. are introverts who have no drive to better themselves and are really boring. I'm a boring guy too, but that's exactly why I don't want to hang out with people like me(I do have drive).

I have an ex co worker from a previous job who asks me to meet him at the same restaurant every weekend.. and he wears the same clothes and awful bowl cut.. We don't have a ton in common outside of games, and occasionally talk about games and catching up with work. But its all the same and boring.. It's especially bad when he starts talking about his PS4 collection, which I don't have and give a fuck. It's gotten so bad that I make excuses to not hang out with him to the same place. I feel bad.. I don't mind being acquaintance. but I'd rather be alone than hang out with someone who is super boring and can't have a simulating conversation with. And he's gotten so clingy when I don't meet up with him for the past two weeks. I'm going to lose a job reference if I lose this guy.. but I hope people understand how i feel.

I'm just tired of attracting the same people.. I want to hang out with people as the same level me or better, socially and I can learn a thing or two. I have friends that do fit that mold, but they live far away or have their own friends. It sucks.

I remember graduating with a liberal arts degree and legit expecting to get $30-40,000 a year($15-20 an hour) in some office job and thinking i would be happy with it.

I didn't get that. I got a shitty manufacturing job that paid in between but with terrible hours and environment.. And then I did data entry and started making $10 an hour. I was foolish to think I'd make so much out of the gate like that. Finally after a couple years I decided to go back to school and do STEM, though I just got a certificate from a community college, but it got me into entry level jobs with other people from those STEM majors which was crazy. I had to work my way in a few jobs in the field and I'm here today making okay money(relatively speaking but 2x as much as as I was expecting when graduating with a liberal arts), but of course i can do better.

All i have to say to everyone who is in college right now... Throw your entitlement right out of the door. Do not come out of graduation thinking you are entitled to a certain amount just because you have that degree. With zero industry experience, you're gonna have to start low first and build your way up. Some people get legit lucky and get into jobs that pay higher than average for an entry level position, but they still complain they're getting sustainability low wages, which is fucking ridiculous. I know the standard of living has gone up, especially in my state, but what they're making in the industry at the company was a lot higher than the average entry level position, despite not being able to able to afford one bed room apartments and had to rent a room(well shit, that's most of the u.s. in big cities anyway).

You really don't have any leverage to pull with just a master's or even a PHD, if you don't have industry experience.

This is generally not true and highly dependent on your area of study.

yes it depends on your study and certain positions like say a scientist. But odds are stacked against you if you expect something high out of the gate vs someone who has more experience.

Never sell yourself short. Aim high.

Oh well, more time for me to game.

How much experience do you have? Because if you have none in your field, they don't have to pay you more for an entry level job. You are not entitled to it.ol Lots of people with no experience in my field have a master's and they get paid the same for the entry level jobs.

Masters only gives you leverage if you have couple years if experience in your belt. It might give you more money or it will take 2 years off a job requirement.

You really have to think about experience in the long run. If the things in your future job are worth it to make you more marketable and help you reschedule your goals, it's in your best interest to take it. You really don't have any leverage to pull with just a master's or even a PHD, if you don't have industry experience.

Because "expensive" is codeword for "preparation time". Whether legitimately too busy, or just lying to themselves, the problem isn't the cost of healthy food, but the fact that it takes time to prepare it as a meal versus sitting in your car, driving in a little circle, and getting a burger and fries.

I don't think being poor has any correlation to not knowing how to cook and cooking. If you were raised to cook for yourself and your family, you will do it. And poor people in general are frugal and they know it saves money at least.

I do think time(or at least making time) has a lot to do with it, and not knowing how to cook/living with family so you didn't have to. Seems like cooking for baby boomers and past generations is much higher than gen y and after.
