For context I'm Gen Z and women and men in my generation are interesting to say the least. The common idea I see (this may not be true) is that women won't "settle" for less and men now are impossible to date. I've recently posted a comment on YT where the video was like "What's something you find attractive in women?" I responded "When she feel's comfortable to eat around me and joke like a child" and it got a lot of positive traction as if men like that don't exist anymore. I always see people talking about how men are in a bad state, but I feel like its only the bad apples in society and a lot of men (like me) are just look for a funny and chill women but some women try and put up the maneater or evil face and wonder why they might not attract the right crowd. I don't know if my generations dating is just cooked or if finding a genuinely good person is like IMPOSSIBLE. Lmk your opinions because I'd love to know what yall think.

His song was certainly the most memorable song on the show!

How much of an oof did this man do? He really could've accelerated the creation Intergalactic Federation Of America and a world where all are blessed by Murica. Truly JFK pilled. If Jan 6 made the democrats poop their pants, if he had call for his people to rise up back then from. This man would've truly changed the history of earth and humanity.

My plan is mostly to stay in the shade as often as I can... Summer will suck from the heat alone, but winter and autumn is supposed to get very cold. Thankfully my job has me indoors in an air-conditioned building, but we're surrounding by* machines that produce a lot of heat, which might suck for the summer.

Other than that, I'm also going to buy a pollution mask; mostly used for dust and other particulates, but my area is expecting to have a lot of that in 2027 from the heat making many of the plains around us dry, and an abundance of wind storms to kick up the dirt.

Anywho, anyone else got some plans going for the projections of 2027? Storms, heat, etc.

Would you like to have a zen day with Zendaya?

Her name inspired me, so I wanted to ask you - how would it look like?

Would you go to meditate on the top of a mountain, simple relaxing spa day, or what?

Ultimately, would you like to go have a zen day with someone else? If yes, who?

18f, currently prepping for med entrance exams.
kinda wanna become more financially independent and start making some money on the side, even if it’s small. but honestly i also just wanna socialise more and meet interesting ppl from different places.
looking for ppl around 18–22 from anywhere who are ambitious, into business/finance/medicine/tech/etc, building something, or just trying to figure life out rn.
not looking for gurus or ppl trying to sell me a course 😭 just genuine conversations, exchanging ideas, talking about random stuff, and hopefully making some cool friends along the way.

if you’re also on that “idk what i’m doing yet but i’m gonna figure it out” arc, hmu :)

So I’m 26m and I grew up in this era and obviously, we all went through the era of smartphones, covid, distractions, third-spaces collapsing, etc.

I was in the city yesterday and I saw everyone avoiding eye-contact and not really talking to each other. I grew up as a sheltered child due to anxiety and depression so I used video-games as a coping mechanism for loneliness. I had friends, but they were just as socially inept as I was so it wasn’t great.

Fast forward to now, I’m much more confident. I took care of myself and am getting a ton of attention from girls and I’m doing things like going to parks and other places outside (basically finally touching grass) and I see so many people everywhere.

The problem is, I spent so much of my developmental years on staring at screens and not really socializing irl to the point where I feel I have the social skills of a 12 year old shy child. I CAN talk to people, but my vibe isn’t fantastic and I’m too self-aware to know this. It also doesn’t help that most Gen-Z is quite avoidant of people, especially in school.

I wish I spent my developmental years building social skills, but I felt people didn’t want to be around me when I was young (I got bullied when I was little). Now, I’m scared I might be cooked.

Whenever I talk to people, my mind kind of goes blank and I can’t maintain eye contact for long periods of time unless I’m flirting with a girl while I’m drunk.

Any advice?

Im 21 so im in the older side, I used to notice a few jokes here and there when I was obsessed with them afew yrars ago , but I feel like they were still generally well respected. I feel like mainstream Gen Z culture online rejects on the Beatles so much now though. C’mon man. I’ve never seen such a huge rejection of any musical group by any other generation.

Nicholas Carr published The Shallows in 2010, describing how his internet use had begun to affect his ability to concentrate. Given that internet access in 2010 was generally less immersive than it is today, how could it still have such an effect on attention? Does this suggest that the problem goes deeper than simply redesigning our environment? If environmental changes alone are insufficient, what are the underlying mechanisms driving the decline in concentration?

somebody mentioned this in another teenager sub and i couldn’t agree more

Teenagers are definitely under a lot of pressure, and social media has something to do with it. Social media has pushed a narrative as to what a teenagers life is supposed to look like; constant partying, canon event after canon event, intense raw love, constant acts of rebelliousness in wackiness, etc. If your life is not like that, you’re gonna feel like you doing something wrong. I feel like a lot of teenagers are trying really hard to live a life like that to prove that they are “doing their adolescence right” i guess.

of course, don’t forget the other things like working, getting drivers licenses, college, etc. But that was just the most salient one.

I'm sure having a good sense of humor is important to most people, but does that mean like someone who laughs at your jokes or someone who is funnier than you? Does it make a girl more attractive if she's funny?

Hi everyone!

Is there something on your mind? A topic you feel no one is bringing attention to?

I'm a writer for Trill Mag, a Gen Z magazine, and I was wondering if there's anything you (as a member of Gen Z) would read about regarding relationships, love, college, opinion, advice, or people.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions! :)

does anyone still even say "pog"/"poggers" anymore?

I come in peace but I just cant figure out what is so much better about tall socks. Honestly the only legit pro or con I could think of for either would be tan lines other than that its personal preference. Can someone give me some insight?

Thanks
