Millennials are cool

These are peeps born after 1980 (technically 1977) - DC is one.
They generally try to avoid conflicts and physical fights. Want to live and let live - at least want it that way - and give it a decent try.
Part of this attitude is listening to other view points and being somewhat open.
Sure they are not too involved in world hunger or global warming - but I don't give a rats ass either.
90% of dancers now are millennials.
That's why strip clubs can be fun if one approaches dancers in a non confrontational way and don't put a "sex or beat-it" proposition on the table right away.
From discussions here, a number of regulars (non millennials - and I am one) are having more fun today than ever before. In strip clubs that is. Just needs a bit of flexibility.

Attention whore who talks too much needs to get mouth stuffed with hard cock.
But suburban and or rich white boys have basically been castrated....and act like it.
Bitches are just too flaky now a days.
I think the word we old farts use is "wimps". Although, avoiding conflict is good, but if someone wants it, welcome aboard!
But I do reject the doctrine of Live and Let Live, it is just a denial system.
I know that for things to change there are going to have to be conflicts, not senseless conflicts over nothing, but principled conflicts. To this end I am highly politically active in local affairs, I have forced the firing of people in both the private and public sector, I have forced the closure of businesses, and I have put multiple people into prison. And I look forward to even bigger victories.
Millennials tend to be more politically open, I'll grant that.
I suspect that our OP is just noticing that millennials tend not to be like people his own age, but it is by his own standards which is evaluating them. Live and Let Live is more a posture of the Right.

Though of a slightly different nature, there are likely to be related political struggles in the United States.

If someone disrespects you, a beat down is totally justified. Not just justified, mandatory.
Why did slavery end?
Legacy of Haitian Revolt, and fact that areas of South Carolina and Mississippi had that same 10:1 slaves to owners ratio.
Nat Turners Revolt, vicious carnage.
Because free black men were so extremely offended by "Uncle Tom's Cabin", that they demanded to serve in the Militia of Massachusetts, and then when denied, set up their own militia
John Brown starting a war by dragging slave owners out of their cabins and hacking them to pieces, Pottawatomie Creek Kansas, stopping Kansas from becoming another slave state, avenging sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery people sent in from Missouri.
In Boston, free blacks and other abolitionists opposing enforcement of Fugitive Slave Act, shooting and killing a deputy US Marshal in Court House.
Free blacks in Pennsylvania blasting away at slave owner and slave catcher.
Harriet Tubman, originally insisting on non-violence, recruited for John Brown's Raid, then later she twice sprung a man from court house in NY, then she led planned and participated in Union raid of Combahe River.
John Browns Raid at Harper's Ferry
Slaves running off of plantation to enlist, especially Kentucky, violating law and terms of Emancipation Proclamation.
General Benjamin Butler, defying law by refusing to return escaped slaves to owners.
100,000 black men training with rifles and bayonets and serving in federal uniform. Otherwise Emancipation Proclamation would have been over turned in courts and slavery continued.

On Violence

I say that colonialism and anti-colonialism are going to be defined in broader ways.
In the last year of his life, MLK was no longer insisting on an unequivocating commitment to non-violence as a way of life.

Brawls and one campout confrontation. Thus, she has no problem jumping into the fight. She loves to flirt with many (loves the older guys) and seems to enjoy my attitudes towards politics, self protection of family and friends at all cost, living life to the fullest and she likes SCs. I guess my rambling is simply to agree that the Female millennial is really quite cool!
I’d like to divide one group of millennials into a separate camp—those born between the ages of 1987 and 1997. Aka, those of us who could have potentially been emo/scene in our formative years. :)
Millennial chicks want lots of texting but you don't have to talk on the phone.
Millennial chicks usually accept sending nudes before a date is typical and don't freak out about sex pics.
Gen X girls are more likely to make plans and stick to them.
As for plain physical violence, of course the key is to avoid it and de escalate situations. Its a last resort.
Idiots who are quick to fight get their asses kicked. Its a sign of weakness....
They appear to go with the flow until they are behind a keyboard or an I Phone............then they have balls the size of boulders.

Keep in mind I am discussing civi men......not female dancers.

Not in my experience -- but they probably should blame the older generations.
College degree is still a necessary prerequisite for most professional careers and the cost of college has doubled (adjusted for inflation) since about 1990. By comparison, wages are almost dead flat over the same period. The doubling of college cost is an average, and it's even worse for private schools. When you look at what millennials are up against, it's no wonder that gorgeous young girls are stripping and/or sugaring to get by. How are they supposed to cope with college costs on $11/hr? The "older generation" should do something about the distribution of wealth and cost of school, but that won't happen unless we elect the right leaders.
Millennials are as diverse as any other group and good parenting plays such a huge role in who they become as young adults. If they grow up in a stable household, with two loving parents, who stress education and hard work, they end up with the right skills and mindset to to become productive themselves. Coming from an affluent background *always* helps and wealth begets wealth.
They tend to be liberal -- but it seems like most millennials are not politically aware and don't read all that much; I can only think of one exception I've come across sugaring, and it's no accident that she's my ATF.
That being said, parents can only do so much. There are so many influences. Sometimes you can only hope that the values you teach take root.
"Shadowcat mentioned his granddaughter being younger than the hookers he hires. "
Okay. Do you expect the granddaughter to be older?
Ive noticed the millenial vs baby boomers discussion pop up a lot here, as it does elsewhere in society all the time. Anyone interested (looking at you nicespice) should read or read about the authors strauss and howe and their generational archetype theory.
Basically theres four generational stereotypes which repeat roughly every 80 years which coincide with a major crisis. Greatest generation are a “hero generation”, silent generation (high school in late 40s and 50s) are an artist generation”, boomers are a “douchebag generation”, gen x are a “nomad generation”, millenials are actually the next “hero generation” which kind of makes sense as you consider we are coming into power as the world is entering another conflict period.
I sincerely hope someone like dan “eyepatch” crenshaw can start to change the stereotype once we get more and more into politics and really double down on the “adulting”. It was also mostly millenials who fought the war on terror/iraq war so to label us a bunch of pussies is a really big fuck you thats only deserved by a small slice of the population - “the affluenza crowd” that icey is talking about. I
And yeah Boomers invented affluenza
That's right, most of the old tricks on here were alive back then!
Interesting. I have learned about different generation's and how they interact with each other, especially in the work force. I run a small business and have had Boomers, Gen x Millennials and Gen z work for me. I am Gen X. Thanks for posting that. I watched one ofnthe videos on youtube by those authors and found their books on Amazon. I will probably order them.
This book has some interesting things to say about the different generations

One more thing I should mention is that I do see difference with Millennials who have Boomer parents and those who have Gen X parents

@nicespice. This is in no way meant against any generation... It seems that a lot of millennials take longer to grow up than my generation did. We were forced to be self sufficient at a younger age. It seems like a lot of millennials start to mature at around 30. The average 30 year old millennial seems to have a maturity level now of a early 20s Gen X.
To explain the difference between ages of parents. Boomers tend to not take care of or coddle their children like Gen X did. Gen X seemed to go the opposite extreme as Boomers did and became hellicoptor parents and did not allow kids to get a few bumps and scrapes so to speak. Boomer were more apt to let their kids go and learn the hard way.
Millennials who were raised by Gen X seem to mature later than ones raised by Boomers. When someone is coddled too much the real world is more of a shock and csn take longer to adjust to.
Millennials raised by boomers seem to have their act together earlier in life.
@nicespice - def hit the library, i would love to be there silently making it rain while you study lol. Like golf clap style rainmaking.
Its probably best to think of the generations as a continuum where older millenials have many similarities with genx and younger millenials with gen z and so on and so forth.
Todays retires, are the people who primarily shaped the country the past 40-50 years. They were the people who were anti-capitalism in the 60's, but yet who entered the workforce/politics and made us what we are today. Some good, some bad. Somehow greed and excessive living replaced the ideals they had in their youth.
The difference is you assess the situation, realize what you need to do with your life, and take responsibility.
Somewhere around the late 80's ( when they were born) this quit happening. I use to joke I'd never be like my parents talking about walking to school in four foot of snow for three miles.......but I find myself doing it more and more as I see the mindset of the thirty-five and under crowd.
And believe me I communicate with them, listen, and can actually have a good time when with them in all aspects of life........there are exceptions, you can't blanket everyone with one statement but overall there is something amiss and it starts with a lack of critical thinking.
In the end they’ll prolly be no different than us
(and an old fart.)
