It is then too late for those girls who sprouted early - but the boys - they have time.......the girls, not so much.....

The boys are then men, and glad they dodged a bullet, but those girls - they are a bit stunted, shall we say, now and forever.

Ask me how I know.

There were a group of beautiful popular girls everyone wanted to date and most others didn’t really date. Maybe there would 10-20% of the high school who dated outside of these popular kids. Then that left 80% of students who didn’t date in high school.

Many people I knew started dating after they graduated and went to college.

They found girls are a bit mean and kinda crazy

In the Fall, A girl said in front of my son “nobody is gonna ask me to prom”, him thinking that’s sad “if I don’t have a date we can go as friends”. They did because she acted like he was her boyfriend for the rest of the year, like a psycho. He said over and over, we are friends stop bribing me gifts every week. I know I just thought it would be nice. After Prom he was busy and there was a complete psycho meltdown with yelling for not seeing her in the summer, like he ghosted her.

My son dated a girl for 4 months and broke up. She egged our house.

Girls have “groups” and if my son dates a girl from group A and his friend dates a girl from group B they can never go out together because girl groups don’t mix.

Girls cry a lot, over seemingly random stuff.

At college it just got worse.

A girl hits up his roommate in college, hey wanna come over? Roommate: Sure girl: as if no. The dude was home just playing keyboard why f with him.

Walk up to girl, says hi. Girl: Why would I talk to you. Or Keep walking. You can only talk to me if you buy me a drink. Etc.

My son did this at a tailgate so we could see it in action. It’s funny , his move now is to say hi, get the rude reaction, then say I’m saying hi to Dave, point to Dave. These are girls at his and his friends tailgates. Once he said “hi” and she said “do I know you?” And he said “idk your drinking my beer so I guess I had the same question “ he’s not asking for a date, he said “hi”.

Not just “beautiful” girls or “popular” girls.

They literally won’t engage in conversation with a girl unless she is a friend of a friend. My boys have lots of friends that are girls but girlfriends are few and far between… and it should be few and far between.

Now that they are older even the girls they take out on a date want to know what you are going to buy them. What is that? My son took a girl on a date and she ordered an expensive bottle of wine, he was not drinking wine. Really? $80 for wine. He went on a few dates with another girl, they went shopping together and she was pissed he would not buy her $200 shoes and some clothes. Girl I’ve known you 2 months.

My son has 1000 stories like this.

It's a bit early to be this drunk, no?

Sorry just bored at the airport.

Sorry but this is all true

Your stories (?) make no sense and clearly your son is just telling you things that fit your very narrow perspective on women. Or perhaps he shares the same worldview. Either way, you both sound like incels.

Stop trolling you are really bad at it.

I have to agree, unfortunately. My DD is on a high-performing sports team and they often play truth telling games. The number of the girls who admitted to this is high, and all of the popular ones.

One anecdote. . . . this was also my experience in HS however, what seems like a century ago.

My kids have friends across public/private/Catholic.

My daughter has a tight group of friends (6) and none of them have ever dated. They find that the boys are only interested in a select type of girls.
My daughter and her friends are pretty, sporty, stylish, slim, smart. What they aren't are popular and they're not the types to post bikini shots on Instagram.

They receive next to no interest from boys. For some time this seemed awesome (who needs boys?) but now I find myself feeling a bit sad for them. It feels
(maybe I'm wrong) that girls have to really sell themselves these days to get the attention of ANY boys. All the boys are clamoring over the same circle of girls
(the popular 10 or so from each high school and they all know each other from Instagram) and the rest receive no attention. This transcends schools (these are boys from Catholic/public/private). My son and his friends are guilty of it as well which makes it worse. They turn up their noses (and basically lead on and then make fun of) other girls.
It's horrible and I've had long talks to him about it. Many long talks.

Anyone else notice this dynamic? It doesn't feel like it was this way when I was growing up. Boys were less picky and less a$$holish about girls.

No. What is wrong with you? Those are not the most popular girls.

Your kids will be fine as long as they are friends with other kids like them and they stay off social media. Especially, they should not post weird near naked pictures of themselves on social media.

You and your kids sound like mean people
