 I love gen z, the based ones are great 
 I think 10 year olds are gen alpha but I agree brother HH 
 Everybody younger then me is millennial or gen z

Get off my lawn 
 gen x detected 
 Yah

Where's my metamucil 
 I thought old people called it facebookmucil smh my neck 
 gen a? you mean GEN ADOLF 
 when your ego is so fragile a 10 year old can break it, you know you've fucked up in life, should be the lesson, but i know it's fallen on deaf ears. 
 Gen z is in their prime norwoodin’ years already. 

We’re all old now

 I love cracking the whip on weird zoomers who think they’re still 17 yo at 25. It’s weird how they have that streak, I think the lack of a catchy name for the genA kids has made them feel like youth belongs to the zoomers

instead I get to savor asking the 26 yo guy why he’s dressing like a teenager when he’s got a widows peak 
 Don't the young always think they'll be young forever? 
 what’s weird is that youthfulness wasn’t part of our identity like it is the zoomers. They really just leaned into that stuff forever, never left it behind. It’s bizarre seeing a guy who should be working on his career wearing a spongebob hoodie and talking about games 
 Idk I look at Marvel fan boys and see quite a bit of arrested development from millennials, though I can agree that zoomers are worse. 
 Plenty of that, but none of us have that weirdo focus on youth itself. Everyone’s realistic about getting older, I have yet to see a millennial running around dressed in the ahegao/fortnite/spongebob hoodie, trying to use slang and do this grotesque high school imitation. 

Only the zoomers are like that still 
 I think I see the difference; millenials pretend that their childish interests are actually adult intetests while zoomers just pretend they aren't adults and maybe never will be. The latter is definitely more damaging overall. 
 Yeah, it’s like milly boys were content to shrug and say “yeah sorry, I’m a fuck up. A loser” whereas zoomers will say “come on I’m young, I’m not supposed to have a plan! I got all the time in the world! I’m a kid!!!” 

And I’m sitting there looking at a guy who’s basically been asleep at the wheel for nearly a decade of life as if it’s no big deal 
 I'm a loser baby 
 I purposefully use Zoomer slang wrong if that counts 
 Ong? 
 No cap, frfr 
 You have to say it while sounding as White and proper (but I repeat myself) as possible so that people recognize how ridiculous it sounds and that you're mocking it. If you do the nigger affectation that zoomers do then you're using the slang "correctly" regardless of it's actual meaning. 
 Sounds like fam to me, now I'm going to go and top g some breakfast 
 Saying fr fr when you're not really for real 
 I'll grow up as soon as I start having better luck with women than all the guys I know who smoke weed, play Starfield, and watch whatever the big Netflix show is rn. 
 This will never happen btw because women massively prefer normal dudes who smoke weed and consume corporate product over awkward weirdos who refuse to partake in the slonkleaf and have particular interests that are hard to explain and carry zero appeal to anyone else 
 it'll happen, you just gotta believe 
 You underestimate the number of similarly weird women hiding in their parents’ basement just like us. 

Female sexlessness is on the rise just like ours, there ARE girls who are utterly invisible to you because they have zero public internet footprint, and they rarely leave the house. 
 Which is why I need to start B&Emaxxing 
 Those are likely the good ones tbh

Men HAVE to get out in society somewhat, if just to figure out the dangers they have to protect their family from

If a woman can stay at home, great 
 My younger brother ended up snagging one.  They make a good pair. 
 🍻 
 Yeah, her dad died a couple years before she turned 18, and her mom was a giant whore.

Her life consisted of “Go to work. Go home. Lock self in room because of annoying roommate. Play animal crossing on the 3DS. Go to sleep. Repeat.”

She met my brother because one of her dad’s biker buddies, “her uncles” who had been taking care of her, forced her out of the house to go on a date with my brother with the excuse of, “Even if you don’t like him, you like steak. He’ll buy you a steak.” 
 Awesome 
 Sometimes I worry there’s an aspect of imprinting at play and I’m jsut the first escape ladder lowered down to her, but I don’t know if most guys are ‘good’ enough to know how to really manage a woman like this if they have their own issues rattling off each other. I could see how younger me would go crazy dealing with her sometimes, because I felt like I couldn’t handle this lifestyle by myself. Now I prefer having to be the adult, women screw things up way too often to be trusted w/ important stuff. 

Like, say you want to get a suppressor, and you don’t have time. Would you trust the average girl today to set up an NFA trust, shop for suppressors, and equip the family without you ever needing input?  It involves a few legal demands, and pitfalls….not a good combo. but egalitarian dummies want “an equal” to “co-captain” 
 Seems like all the recent couples I know are this way. You ask and it’s just out of left field, or a church thing of some flavor. They just don’t get out to meet 
 i don't even know that i'd want one of them, IF i'm being honest i'm literally in the process of coming out of this neet egg i've been inside for decades, and i don't want to have to coax another person out of one too. 
 The whole point is to allow them to stay somewhat sheltered, not to bring them out to societal destruction 
 i get it, but i don't want a stinky neet that doesn't do anything but sit around play games and be fat living in my house while i'm making leaps and bounds of effort to improve my life and build a nest. 
 I don’t see many girls doing games, the good neets are into crafts and home making, nesting projects that are more hands-on. Once you get her out of her environment she blooms into a diff. person, much of it at your direction. You find hobbies that she’s compatible with, then turn her loose to pursue them. 

We’re drowning in birds because mine ended up really liking chickens and all that stuff. 
 I was going to say I've seen a number of women in their 20s at hobby stores (sewing, scrapbooking, painting type hobbies). 
 I used to be the popular bf when I’d take my girls to a rotation of cool places. I knew this cool fashion importer lady in a hole-in-the-wall shop, was friendly w/ the good fabric lady who ran it out of her living room. Was always a cool thing to be able to take a girl somewhere like that. Never looked to rebuild my hipster connections anywhere but home though. 

But those places were crawling with chicks, to the point the proprietress could easily hook you up w/ a “hey can you help that girl w/ that bolt? it’s heavy” 
 True, you guys should talk to them. I have confirmed that they have no desire to talk to me but that's because I'm weird and give off school shooter vibes 
 well given how many times i've had people tell me ilook like a serial killer i really dunno. 
 Serial killer good, school shooter bad 
 heh

That either means you're winning hard or losing hard 
 i really am a kind gentle soul till i have reason not to be. 
 I keep getting told I have “Big Dad Energy” by the zoomers girls at work. 
 I dress like a dad, listen to dad rock, drink coffee americano like a dad, tell jokes generally associated with dads, and various other points, but it seems it’s all just a cargo cult and I lack the core of that “dad energy” 
 Yeah in my case, it was someone who had gotten hurt, and I went through the entire process of properly treating and bandaging the injury, and then had in my tool bag additional first aid supplies that aren’t provided by work that I pay for out of my pocket.  (I keep in my tool bag a bottle of Advil, a bottle of Tylenol, a bottle of antihistamines, a bottle of ibuprofen, and a bottle of generic midol)

And I was asked, why do you have these in your bag? You surely can’t need them yourself.  And I responded with, I have them for my coworkers when they are needed.  I would rather spend five bucks per bottle of medicine every couple years, than for one of my co-workers to need to go spend $5 for two Tylenol in the vending machine.

And she looks at me, and goes, “You know, I thought you were always mad about something, and kind of scary, but you’re not scary at all. You have big dad energy.” 
 Yeah more and more people need "dads" or someone who will look out for them in that way. Dads will have that foresight, a certain seriousness and practicality in nearly all things, but also proper patience. You'll notice most people lack nearly all of these things. 
 got no interest in being a buncha single mother's kid's surrogate dad. 
 Yeah, out of my group of friends in college, I was always the “group dad” doing my best to make sure everyone didn’t fuck up too badly.

And that’s why I have a scar from a drunk Latina biting me after I took away the rum, and a blood oath because I saved the life of a different one.

The dude got extremely sick, and had a fever of 105 and we dragged him into the hospital despite him fighting us because he was hallucinating that we were demons trying to drag him to hell. 
 Dad energy is just seeing everyone but you as a child. Dad energy is being the kind of guy who can drive in a snowstorm and make her feel like everything will be totally fine as long as your hands are on the wheel. 

You’re a captain to serve and delegate, a security blanket that makes everything be okay just by following in your presence. That’s why being a weepy, emotional faggot undermines it so hard. 

The world is scary enough for girlies without having to worry that their captain is blubbering vagina like them 
 True which is why I need to find a way to hide my nerves in all situations 
 I’ve long advised guys to achieve mastery in something and instruct in it. When you start teaching students in something, you see the initial phases that used to freak you out for the small starting steps they are. Then you just mentally copy that feeling of being in charge, in command, over to your private life and act the same. 

It tends to come w/ experience, where you’ve seen things before and no  longer freak at novel situations. But you can fake your way there. LARPing is just the forced, knowing act of pretending your way towards something. People LARP in every career, just unknowingly, nitting the fibers of their persona over and over until they one day wake up and realize they ARE what they wanted to be once upon a time. 
 i'd like one that wanted to preserve all the shit i'm growing
and had the time to actually study and learn it cuz i'm busy actually growing it and learning how to do that good
LOL 
 I was talking to a female friend the other day who has a lot of weird female friends like that who are all single. She basically told me upfront that they are all "scared of men" and considering they don't go outside it's made worse. At least men put themselves out there in some way. You can't even get through the backdoor that is their friends with some of these women. 
 Yeah, that’s mine. The first date (and to an extent the next two) I was playing with her and acting like it was a practice run for a “real date”. Was a fun little bit to keep running, because I got to joke around and compliment her good points to build her up without it seeming like I was fawning over her. Stuff like “now see? That’s a cute laugh, when you do all this for real make sure you break that out on the guy” 

When we first met her coworkers were backing me up to go out, too, I offered but if there weren’t a couple people holding her accountable for how things went the next day, she probably would have gotten all nervous and cancelled on me. Had to be strongarmed into it a little bit, because she was so stuck in her own head 
 @fishsticks @Springtime for Zeon (Woggy Mk II) @flux_the_cat :windmilloffriendship: (is cooking (h... @Idea Enjoyer @Nierenstein (":catnoears:" (:catnoearslaser:) this makes me sad tbh. 
 Yeah idk what the fuck we're supposed to do. Women that are worth it you literally can't force them to meet you (friends, parents, and grandparents don't work in my experience after highschool) and grinding out cold approach doesn't work with them because they'll either politely reject you or give you their number and never respond. Extremely frustrating. 
 @fishsticks @Springtime for Zeon (Woggy Mk II) @flux_the_cat :windmilloffriendship: (is cooking (h... @Idea Enjoyer @Nierenstein (":catnoears:" (:catnoearslaser:) i kind of wish i could be their friend without being only online as the internet turns people into fucking insane monsters. 
 Work through family/community pressure and when you DO get her just put her at ease and treat her like a rescue dog you’re trying to draw out of its pen. The hardest part is getting her just to show up for the first date, so if you contact her via family just tell them you’re taking a night off to entertain you so she’d better not leave you hanging

Then it’s just about letting her have fun and go out doing something that makes her feel like she’s in THAAAA MOOOOOVIES without pushing her too far. You gotta let her come to you a little bit, get her over the hump of anxiety about entreating you and let her get used to the chase before moving to the next step. 

These girls are VERY neurotic about boundaries, and they have a very uneven, all over the place idea of sex. 
 There's some sort of academic report about how the mental health of a particular city folk (I think it was the irish) improved dramatically when they became embroiled in an ethnic or national conflict.  Men's especially, suicide went down significantly, as did alcoholism, etc.  To be fair these people already had a sense of themselves as a rooted ethnic group but maybe something similar could happen with Whites in the near future?  Idk.

Although personally I'm turned off from relationships, let alone sex, alltogether.  Just the thought of being trapped with some narcissistic manhater that subjects me to withering contempt for every perceived impropriety and mistake, day in and day out, constantly regailing her friend group with tales of what a piece of shit i am, it makes me want to die inside.  Honestly I think that could describe maybe 30-50% of marriages since the end of ww2.  At least when I'm alone I can have peace and there are groups like the NJP I can contribute to.  A lot of us aren't *meant* for the romantic happy ending 
 I keep saying, there are decent women out there. If you choose to be single fine, but even bad marriages have their good times. 
 And virtually any sacrifice necessary is worth it when it comes to your children. Your children are the best thing in the world. Just giving them a chance is more important than anything else. 
 speak for yourself oldbo. 
 @Idea Enjoyer @flux_the_cat :windmilloffriendship: (is cooking (h... gen z is gonna be the most divided generation at this rate 
 good. hopefully they will tear this country apart like we failed to do. 
 Say whatever else you want about gen z, they were the first ones who, after learning about Hellen Keller in school, had the courage to stand up altogether and in one voice cry “bullshit”
