What happened to young men?

[Anonymous]

I was at a mixed ages party with a lot of young adults but the guys weren’t going to the women and mingling with them.
Is the culture changed so much young guys are afraid of talking to young women in real life.
I am asking as a middle aged guy.

Yes

It’s both genders though. They are not comfortable with in-person interactions. It’s really sad.

You mean the young women weren't harassed like when you were young?

The horror! They can actually attend parties, eat, drink and chat like actual human beings, without being followed, surrounded, or need to watch their drink the entire time.

Instead, if they're interested in a young man their age, they can go up to him and start a conversation, peer-to-peer.

How sad for them, OP.

Thanks to their parents the younger generation lacks social skills and on top of that they are paranoid and anxiety ridden.

This seems like a low effort troll post.

Also they were all probably just texting and snapchatting each other

Not really.
This is an observation at a party and discussion with other middle aged guys.

So the girls should do the "harassing"

What age? I have an 18 year old in high school, and there is a high degree of socialization between genders. My child has many friends of the opposite sex and does things with them solo and in groups.

I do think (perhaps) the kids who were in high school/college during Covid are not at ease socially.

What else did you expect we respond to such a provocative thread? You wanted to start a fight, there you go.

It's stupid of you to try to generalize from one party you attended, I hope you realize this.

I have college-aged kids and believe me, they're socializing.

But I respond in kind to your type of moronic thread.

Me Too has scared the S out of them.

Scott Galloway talks about issues facing young men and his related research, interesting to listen to.
