TLDR of the stats for those who dont want to watch the whole video:

  • ~50% of GenZ are White, compared to 81% of Boomers

  • Over 1/3 of GenZ identify as religiously unaffiliated, roughly twice that of Boomers

  • 23% of GenZ identify as some form of LGBT, compared to 17% of Millennials and 5% of Boomers. Interestingly, a massive chunk (almost 50% of LGBT) identify as Bisexual, and almost all of those end up in heterosexual relationships. Additionally, it splits as 31% of GenZ women but only 17% of GenZ men.

  • Less than half of GenZ believe being LGBT is an innate quality (IE: "Born This Way"), directly in opposition to the Millennial view. Perhaps as a consequence of this, GenZ is the only generation to backslide and favor banning gay marriage.

  • 31% of Zoomers say they spent time in their teens talking to a therapist, a massive increase over Millennials. Additionally, GenZ men say it doesnt help them compared to GenZ women.

  • 41% of GenZ never had a romantic relationship as a teenager, 78% say they spent some time hanging out with friends, 24% of GenZ reports regularly feeling lonely (seeming that social media creates a paradox of less connection). The crew formulates this will lead to a further bifurcation in GenZ between those who had families who controlled their electronics and internet vs those who did not.

  • 40% of GenZ had no job as a teenager, 70% worry about finding a job that is "meaningful". 60% of GenZ worries about having enough money to pay bills, and this applies to every generation except Boomers, who feel they have enough money (with 61% saying they are fine).

  • 32% of GenZ reports drinking or smoking, the lowest among any generation by far. They also point out this has a social knock on of people not going to the bar and finding a romantic partner by sharing a drink, and is also causing women to lose bearing on reality as they have no romantic partner so turn their natural instincts to activism to have something to do.

  • 43% of GenZ women identify as Liberal (Left), compared to only 35% of GenZ men.

  • Pre-Lockdown, Depression was to 46% of GenZ women and 24% of GenZ men. We have no stats post-Lockdown.

  • In terms of political attitudes, GenZ is splitting. About 50% of GenZ favors a government that "puts the experts in charge". But there is also a significant portion that favor a Strongman who can ignore the political apparatus (Parliament listed as the study was done in the UK), or military dictatorship.

This is some premium doomer shit right here. Managing to take a lack of vice and somehow making it negative. Truly potent stuff. I feel like I might overdose just by talking about it.

I think it speaks more to the broader problem at play: the prime meeting place for most couples (bars/restaurants/etc.,) is no longer the impetus for enabling people to hookup.

Given the divergence in hobbies between men and women, it highlights that the one thing that could bring both sexes together (drinking/smoking/lounging/dancing/etc.,) is dwindling among the Zoomers. It feeds into a lot of the other current stats that seem to highlight this, mostly in good part due to feminism making Western women unruly and unlikable (across multiple facets), men having zero incentive to pursue women, the economy not accommodating unnecessary expenses (drinking, smoking, partying at clubs, etc.,) and the long-term outcome of dating (i.e., marriage) being 100% drawback and detriment to men.

It's no wonder that more than 60% of men of marrying age have no interest in dating/marriage: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-state-of-our-unions/202302/why-are-so-many-young-men-single-and-sexless

Get a passport, bro.

Learn Spanish, get yourself financial and head off to Argentina four times a year.

Or just go to the Philippines and meet some people.

Western women have been given the license to be as selfish as they like and it is not making them happy. You can rent a flat in Haiti, or Argentina and visit it when you like. If you want to install a lady there you can take your sweet time to see if she is a faithful and sensible lady before you have a kid with her. If she cheats just cancel the rent and change your phone number. There is no child support required. She can agree to your terms with regard to custody or she can fucking starve

If things work well you can import her and your child when he is ready for highschool. By then you will know very well if she is worth the effort.

Take steps to leverage your earning power and freedom of travel to get a situation where you have the advantage. Otherwise there is no downside for women to end things and take the kid and the money.

I am not really one to talk since I dont drink or smoke myself (older Millennial) and I met my fiancé at school. I am just passing along their things they said as people who were GenX (a fact worth remembering here).

I drink and smoke (cigars), probably the best networking you can do as a younger male is be willing to smoke a cigar and shoot the shit.

The issue is I am willing to engage with people who do that, but I wont myself. I can tolerate alcohol if I must, but its not my thing.

I have generally used alternative methods to network, and at least for work I have relied on my work horse mentality to pull me along. But then, I also have Aspergers so there is something to be said that I dont really think I am missing out on anything by not really socializing outside of specific arenas (usually game shops and table top).

You can nurse a drink for hours. Just have it in your hand so you are behaving like everyone else.

Well Asperger’s is its own beast. One thing that older men usually look for in someone to mentor is someone that can match their lifestyle or surpass it, that means being able to handle liquor, cigars, etc, not in excess but to be able to manage as they do. They want the guy to shot pool with, golf with, etc to pass their wisdom too.

While definitely true, the management at the shop I work at has given me a lot of autonomy and has me working on product for our number 1 customer. Simply because I demonstrated a high degree of detail and care for my work in the parts I build, so they have trust me with the more important jobs. And that is something I take pride in.

Oh work detail definitely matters, I was talking more for what someone looks for in a mentee, but being able to display competency regardless will make waves for you

This is probably more of a cheat code than you realize; Cigar shops are one of the few 'male only' spaces that you'll find, nowadays.

It's also a 'classy' enough hobby without being weird(as opposed to, say, guns), and would probably give you a good natural 'in' with your local high muckity-mucks.

Food for thought.

...not that I'm gonna pick up cigar smoking as a hobby, but it makes you think.

It may be a vice, but Alcohol has played a pretty important part in human civilisation.

Hmm, that really gets the almonds going.

The only 50 percent are white and general anti social ness is what frightens me. When the boomers finally kick the bucket the US will be lucky to be Brazil.

The GenXers are running all the distopian tech companies making the world a woke hell hole nightmare. What does Carl mean they “weren’t impactful”?

People will really look at the declining White percentage in this country and still not say there isn't a genocide going on.

Does this mean Gen x has officially been erased from existence?

I know we did some annoying shit, but we had some good ideas about being skeptical of everything, and we’re generally less loathsome than the other generations around us.

Gen X is pretty fucking loathsome. They proclaim to be skeptical of everything, but much like everything else Gen X does, it is all a facade and born from narcissistic delusions. They all fall in line and their children (late millennial/zoomer) are the product of how subservient Gen X is to the globohomo order.

Gen X were basically the generation of Hands Across America.
