'80 was a bad year
So I need to vent. First, I have to preface this with letting you know this is not aimed at any one person in particular. It's really more of a culmination of experiences from frustrated friends. Frustrated friends with one thing in common, problems with the boys of 1980.
What is it about this year? It's been my experience that guys born in '80 have a common fear of "growing up" and cling to their college party lifestyles longer than they should. They still have roommates with no plans of moving out on their own. They've had bad experiences with girlfriends and assume all future relationships will be similar. They are very stubborn. They've had the same crew of friends for years and frown on anyone who allows a girl in to their life. They don't like change. They are almost never wrong. They are whiney, generally speaking, they are total wimps.
The 80s were about materialism, technology and MTV but is that enough to trigger a massive assholery among males years later? The "Me boys of 1980" can be found:
-Throwing House Parties
-Picking up girls at Dance Clubs
-Biking through Trendy Neighborhoods
-Partying at dance clubs
-Stumbling through Downtown
-Walking on their lunch break because driving is so over done
-Posting "Missed Connections" on Craig's List
-Reading The Onion or Vice Magazine
They are every where we go and do similar things. Our exception is that we're younger and supposed to be at this point in our lives and they are almost 30. Why aren't these guys with girls their own age? Because those girls are smart and over frat-boy behavior. We haven't quite given up on them yet.
We become easy targets because we're less threatening. How many young twenty-somethings are dreaming of weddings and future children? As a result, we fall for these guys over and over again. Eventually we will join our "older sisters" and leave these boys behind. What may be a lifestyle for them, is only a phase for us. So until this passes, let's try our best to get through this rough patch with grace, dignity and style.
