[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Promiscuous millennials… we didn’t do that in GenX, and young people don’t do that either. It’s considered gross, and serious/normal people don’t do that. Way to ruin your reputation in high school/college - for both men and women.[/quote]

Agreed this was not the norm just 25 years ago. I’m guessing it was the internet, phones, apps that changed the culture, and I agree there’s likely to be pushback. All the driven 18 year old girls I know are looking for husbands - which is gross in its own way, but definitely a pendulum swing from the bizarre expectation the posters on this have that you should assume everyone is constantly sleeping with multiple people.

When I met dh 25 years ago, we were both young, social good looking mid 20s with an active dating and social life. Dh was a frat bro. But even then, when we met at a party and super hit it off, dh opted not to call me (he told me later) because he had just reconnected with an ex gf and hooking up with her. The unspoken thing from that being that, while he was hanging out with her, it wouldn’t have been cool to start something with me. Then we ran into each other six weeks later, I guess that girl was out of the picture, and so it was 100 percent on between us. That’s what dating was like back then with normal healthy people. Anyone seeing (or worse sleeping with) multiple ppl at once was seen as a defective cad who you wanted to avoid. [/quote]

I have late teen daughters and while I don’t necessarily agree that they are searching for husbands right now, it’s not at all what’s described on this post. I’m guessing that some of this is middle aged people who feel they missed out earlier and now apps make so many people available?[/quote]
