    You know you’re getting old when you go to the MILFs category and see women your age or younger.

    Also, has anyone else noticed the explosion of stepmom/stepsister stuff? It’s so weird to me, like soft incest. Has the dating scene gotten so bad that the most believable way someone could get laid is by banging someone they already live with?

      I think it’s the taboo nature in combination with it being a story behind the action. It’s a plot involving a lot of emotions with minimal effort. I prefer childhood friends for that, but taboo is sexy to a lot of people. Full on incest stuff is annoyingly popular as well for some reason 🤮

        I also read it’s an easy plot

        Here’s two people, it gives us an explanation to 1) why they’re in the same area, 2) already have a strong connection/know each other

        There was a third point building off the relationship thing but I forgot what it was

        It’s just surprisingly new. I’d bet the pandemic played a large part in it. Stepsister stuff has always been a niche, but not nearly as prevalent as it is today. I would know, I used to work in the industry.

          Lol, no, that stuff was catching on at least 15 years ago, and was a massive meme before the pandemic. The “what are you doing step bro,” meme is from 2018, and the industry had already gone hard in that direction for a while before that.

      Not dating, but socialization. We are so lonely and isolated, and economically stunted, that we have issue interacting and building any type of bond. And then add a pandemic where the only interaction was your family.

      To be clear, what i am trying to say it goes beyond dating and there is a systemic issue.
