about guys what do they think about relationships and dating and the importance of of that

Well, I think a big thing now that I've noticed is being is Gen Z women being risk averse around guys and around dating. So, for example, if you go on like TikTok dating advice, it's very kind of cynical. It's very negative. It's like, you know, if a guy approaches you, he's a predator. Or if he kind of compliments you a lot and gives you loads of gifts, he's love bombing you. He's an abuser. you know the words like narcissism and red flags getting thrown around um and it's honestly everywhere like i saw a tweet recently that was went viral that was like oh if you if you meet someone and you have intense chemistry that's a major red flag like you should leave because it's like um a trauma signal that reminds you of your caregiver who mistreated you or whatever It's got like thousands of likes. And it's that kind of language is so common among young women talking about dating. Which, like I get, I think there are legitimate reasons to be risk averse. So I think, you know, obviously it's much harder to date now after the sexual revolution with less kind of guardrails of custom and chivalry. And I do think there's reasons women are risk averse to being kind of disposed of and, you know, not having a meaningful relationship follow from meeting someone. Yeah. I also think we've got very high rates of divorced parents, which plays into that risk aversion. I also think social media teaches you to be risk averse and avoid discomfort.

What is the reason for the risk aversion? Is it just not wanting to ever get hurt? How much of this is just an avoidance of any discomfort?

Yeah, so basically all of these things are creating this absolute terror of getting hurt. So I think a lot of the therapy speak and the kind of feminist language is... is cloaking this deep fear of vulnerability. I think Gen Z grew up with this kind of message that anything with risk is a threat to be avoided, whether that's through social media, whether that's family structure, whether it was the childhoods we had. Our childhoods were very much like avoid risk, prioritize health and safety and regulations and you know simulating it all online rather than actually engaging in risk-taking behavior and I think that plays out all the time in Gen Z's life but a big you know part of that is relationships because they come with a high level of risk and I don't think some Gen Z people can kind of It's almost like we've been convinced that's not a part of life, that you can actually get away with a life that avoids risk and uncomfortable emotions, but you can't. And so it's actually really tragic because it puts us on a path to miss out on really meaningful things. So I think a lot of the... kind of
