My girlfriend's quite younger than I am, and we've been together for 4 years now. Best time of my life. Surprisingly, her generation tends to be smarter and more questioning of shit than ours. Gives me a bit of hope.

It seems the Destiny of most of the millennial generation is to be a cautionary example. I mean, the birth rates among millennial women are so low, they're effectively a sterile generation without a legacy.

The problem, is that while the hippie generation grew up, the millenial one still has much of a Peter Pan syndrome. Younger people tend to look at that and think "I got that. I want more than that". That's why punk never lasts. Because eventually, it goes mainstream.

I'm not one to talk. I'm in my mid thirties and marriage & children still has zero interest to me. I care about family a lot, but more in the sense of being a Machiavellian bachelor trying to influence my siblings in dynastic directions.

Bizarrely, I ended up becoming the de facto family patriarch because I was just the most involved in family affairs and my older brother never stopped resenting that. Seemed to think he was just entitled to that role, despite focusing almost his entire energy on the business.
-
If I'd just sat back and let him keep that role, for the sake of his ego, the family would have fallen apart.

Family's always the biggest barrier towards starting your own life. I had troubles of that on my own, since over here, it's a bit close to Italian culture, where you're supposed to keep your family close for life. Never give up on building something of your own, though.

Well, I'm a big fan of the clannish stem family approach. My siblings aren't. They're determined to do the nuclear family thing and haven't figured out that's unnecessarily difficult, instead of us all just working together.

With the dating pool the day it is, I'm just getting comfortable with the bachelor life because I'm either gonna be one of those confirmed bachelors or one of those guys who marries a 20 year old at about 50 and goes "I dunno how, it just happened"'

That's why I'm leaving the crappy city I live in. The women here are trash. That's not the case everywhere, but it is in elitist areas. Just check the Holton Arms boarding school yearbook ca. 1982 to see what elite women behave like these days.
