So dubbed as the product of the baby-boomers, perhaps the most profitable niche of Americans to date. However, I feel there is a severe illness about to befall those tykes, now age 25 to 12.
Immediate gratification.
BMW, Mercedes, Audi.
The endless partying of college that's more of a Mardi Gras than an educational institution.
Prada, Gucci, LV, Coach.
We've seen it particularly with women, high-class lifestyles suppoted by Visa, Mastercard, American Express, mom & daddy, the sugar daddy, the older boyfriend, or the AFC chump still buying gifts. Not only women (but a large segment), but men too, have a mentality of having it now, of having the best before it is earned, of being coddled and too young for the world, of living at home until it's far too late.
I have yet to date a girl who owns a purse that is valued less than $200. Her purse is worth more than the cash in it, and more than the available balance of credit cards. Worse yet, much of the generation want the high profile job, or the high profile business, without the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to create it. Girls come to expect dates, especially expensives ones as the norm, rather than the exception, and wonder why they approach marriage or relationships as WORSE than dating. If you make exceptions the rule, you change the game.
Many of my exes, and even a good portion of my friends fit this niche. I did not specifically attempt to find women this dependent, this expecting of high class without the high class attitude and respect, it merely happens as 'attraction' gets in the way. However, to me it's more of a liability in the long run.
No wonder men are in for the hit n run, and women serially date. To each other, changing the lifestyle is almost something they're unaccustom to doing. A goodly number of women are unwilling to give up their desire to step down from the princess-like lifestyle they need to accept normality, something they have no concept of. And men, unwilling to accept their queenly demands, jump from bed to bed as it suits our needs unwilling to take on the liability women are becoming.
Manicures, pedicures, $200 hair jobs, pimped out sports cars, $100 jeans, credit card debt, the tell-tale sign of immediate gratification, these are the signs of our generation, one which is contradicting it's on own goals.
This isn't mean to be a bleak outlook, for there is certainly the lot of us men who see this happening and who were also raised differently than the mold. But if you go out any night, venture through a mall, or even chat it up with a girl, you will quickly hear words like "manicure," "salon," "boob-job", "ass tuck," "nose job," "bmw, escalade," "gucci, prada, coach, lv". How many of these people, women or not, have their own place, can live on their own, survive on their own, and be independent?
I had the argument with an X once about her degree and job expectations. She never had any documented job aside from babysitting, and felt super markets, waitressing, or retail sales were below her (quintessential daddy's girl). Subsequently, she sought a high profile job, making $50k+ out of college with no prior experience in any given job role. When she was dejected after her few attempts to "get a job easily" she thought college was worthless or that the market sucked. Finally she reverted to waitress at a nice club/bar in Manchester, NH. The lesson only dawned on her after the fact. In reality, I knew I was glad we split because her motivating need for a bf was support of a lifestyle I didn't want to provide in the future. She set the bar of what she expected. Well, hunny, in a free market of supply and demand, a woman's worth drops as the demand for that product declines. As a woman's expectations rise, in addition to age, her demand declines, and the supply of less demanding women and younger girls rises, pure relationship economics.
I only hope that the male part of my generation and the preceding generation takes stock in themselves. Perhaps you don't understand or gather where this is going, but let's rationalize it out.
Many girls are flighty straight up to college, at which point they have to fish or cut bait, they MUST work or flounder for years. Often they live at home, drifting aimlessly from job to job of menial work so that they can support themselves (cited cases if needed). OR, they MIGHT be that one girl who proceeds down some path that involves a career. How many girls are the typical bar slut/club sluts that use it as an outlit to deflect what reality is? They claim independence, yet are a walking contradiction as all they own comes at some else's expense. If you buy a $300 purse, and live at home, your parents footed the rent and food bill so you could live more lavishly. Unless you get a better paying job, or lower your demands, the other option is a man who'd support you.
Well boys, I know we're self-sufficient, or you wouldn't be here, but don't continue these habits, because we need to kill the system and the generation of conformists. I have always felt this internally that in some ways, we expect too much control of life, but in other ways we have overly optimistic expectations on quality of life without providing the necessary work to get that. Give and get, my friends, you can have all you want if you pay the price. Far too many don't want that. They want easy riches, eacy fame, easy bodies, easy sex, without the work. Yet, you fail to realize anything of value comes with hard/smart work.
Your insights are welcome...
