At what do you say: “It must be me?”

I’ve always thought I had rather mainstream tastes. But more and more when I see posts of women and the OP asks “smash or pass” or “hot or not” I find myself in the minority. (Generally I don’t find them attractive)
Same with TV shows and movies. No matter how hard I’ve tried to watch and like “The Office” it’s brutal. I can’t get through season 1.
One of the hottest shows on is “The Bear”. I’ve tried watching it and feel the same way. It’s so painfully awful I can’t get past a few episodes before I give up. Then I read good reviews, try again and give up again.
I haven’t been in a movie theater for years. The MCU movies don’t move my needle.
I don’t find most dancers hot anymore. Too much ink and too many piercings.
Do I just have high standards? Does the younger generation just have low standards. I am beginning to think it must be me.

My taste is different because i like the more experienced dancers because to me moves matter more than looks.
Consider yourself as having been told "i'm ok, you're ok"
In some ways it's a pain, but in other ways it's "more for me; thanks."
I always wondered why my dad listened to the music of the 60s when I was little. Now I get it, he didn’t like the modern music of that time. Same reason I mostly listen to music from the 80s and 90s now, rarely listening to something new, even if it’s new music from one of my favorite artists from the 80s and 90s.
One other note, I listen to old music and think it’s brilliant, but I watch older TV shows and find most of them cheesy as hell today. For example, Miami Vice, A-Team, Friends, even Seinfeld is hard for me to watch these days, but when they were new I thought they were amazing.
How come someone didn’t even think to open a strip club that only had dancers from 35 and up? Those women would make a killing just talking to older PLs on subjects they could relate to, where PLs and young dancers often struggle to interact. There are tons of stunningly beautiful women I see everyday well over 40. Problem is most wouldn’t want to strip because they already have careers in other areas making good money.
Pop culture has passed me by but I don't care. Good for them if they like it, they probably think we're a bunch of fuddy-duddies just like we thought our parents were when we were in our 20s.
I'm getting to the age where I see peers dying of heart attacks. I'm caring more about meaning than amusement. The Puddy Tat is more concerned with caring for his clowder than cheap catnip and balls of string (except for enjoying the company of some fine alley cats).
And I've never been happier.
But so am I.
As to OP, I don’t care about pop culture, including most modern movies and TV. shows, although there’s always the occasional diamond in the rough. Same with dancers. Usually, I can walk into a club I’ve never been to before and find at least one worth getting a dance from. It might be worth it to take an intentional breather and maybe have a fresh perspective when you get back to it
I’m also amazed at how cheesy most of the old TV shows I used to watch seem now. But The Office, Friends, and The Bear we just never good
Just think about the things that you liked when you were young that maybe your grandparents hated or the music they listened to that you didn't like. It goes that way for everything from movies and TV shows, to books and music to what's attractive and what's not.
In addition to age there are other cultural aspects that make a difference. Even amoung the same age group you'd get drastically different answers to the question of "who's the best band" or "what's the best movie" or "who's the hottest stripper in this club right now" depending on if you ask someone from the Southside of Chicago, somebody from rural Iowa, someone from Miami or someone from Malibu. That doesn't mean any of them are wrong, they are just different.
In terms of the world passing me by, I do feel that way a bit in the clubs. I don't understand the big round ass thing at all, and I'm not into fake boobs. This is one of the reasons that I find reviews with "most girls were 7-9" completely unhelpful it the reviewer doesn't describe their tastes.
One thing about clean consumer types is I think they still are considered the most attractive at least in middle class circles. Just look at college coeds. They just aren’t as common in strop clubs.
I think they just generally have other options for money and corporate expense accounts are no longer the best customers in strip clubs. I think there is less money and the customers overall have changed as much as the dancers although clubs like Cheetah and Pink Pony have the kinds of girls I like and an atmosphere I prefer but I’m not getting any mileage and if I did I’d seriously pay for it. If they started giving it up like Vivide it would get very crowded fast there.
As to music and movies some is good and some stinks. Looking back some of the things I used to like were kind of junk though too. I think as you get older you know more what you like and aren’t willing to accept things are cool because that’s what everyone else thinks.
Anyone who doesn't agree can just get off my damn lawn!😂
I can name one Taylor Swift song and zero Beyonce songs. Had to look up what MCU means and having done that, I scrolled through all those films and never saw any of them. Lol.
And then there is Hollywood's social engineering agenda. Not what I am looking for either. But how did we get from naked women to movies? At least no politics on this thread yet.
