At 19 I had friends but other than that same.
The biggest problem with 4chan is all the users are about 12 years old but have the cynicism of a 45-year-old.
when i was that age i too had trouble looking beyond the next few months
Aside from no friends, the rest of those things apply to a ton of 19 year olds. I don’t think it’s entirely Social Medias fault they have a weird expectation; even I had that as a teen and I heard my dad’s generation did too.
I think it’s mostly because people see movies where sex is commonplace in high school and losing your “V card” is a thing. The expectation to drive and work has also just been there since forever ago, but this current generation is even less likely to need to either. At least I know there are some non-chan places also pushing to get teens to understand those expectations aren’t normal…
First job and license at 21. First relationship, kiss and sex at 22.
I can’t imagine growing up with social media. Probably not good for development.
And honestly, I was a full on adult when covid hit and I regressed. It’s got to have been awful for kids
i grew up during the wild internet days
saw one man one jar, two girls one cup, smile HD, happy tree friends, and incredibly graphic gore when i was at the ripe old age of 12
considering the circumstances i think i turned out fine, well, as fine as a person with empathy can be in this hellscape
Yes, but that was still before social media. As weird as it sounds, social media is probably more damaging than the early oughts shock sites
trueee, the closest i got to social media back then was a forum for a game i liked with less than 50 regular members
giving actual life advice instead of an hero on live stream? the fuck happened to the chans?
Maybe Anon is neurodivergent and doesn’t even realise it.
I know people who are diagnosed later in life, which explains a lot when we were growing up.
Legit though, a REAL bro would offer to let them give a blowjob. To the bro. Counts as sex! You suck my dick, you are officially not a virgin! Now, go out there and kiss someone with the jizz still lingering on your lips, you horny motherfucker :)
There worse things than being a virgin.
Not to an incel, they base their entire life around it. Everyone else just gets on with their life until they randomly meet someone.
Trying to force a relationship out of thin air never works, which is part of the reason why dating apps would never work even if they weren’t paid to win.
Genz fomo is real, and we are missing out. I will also say that everyone on 4chan is generally a waste of space, and they’re projecting because image boards aren’t popular anymore. I also don’t understand the entitlement to a relationship. Housing, education, trying to LIVE, I get. Saying, “I DESERVE TO BREED, WHY AREN’T WOMEN HORNEY”, is, and comes across as desperate. Also, throw yourself out there. Overcome your anxiety. You’ll get behind the wheel. Don’t emotionally connect with these kind of posts. They’ll hurt you in the long term.
Entertainment had people believe that beautiful girls would be with the loser in the right circumstances. People don’t take in to account that these are fantasy stories.
While I agree that if you are dog shit you can not expect people wanting to be with you. But your judgement is one-sided. Entertainment also made people believe every successful, jacked, Hollywood star wants to be with average Jane coz she is princess. Not all problems of zoomers created by zoomers
Zoomers aren’t in Hollywood. Every YA in film is played by someone 25+
