It's not PR speak, it's their generation. I'm only a few years older and can't even relate to it. My peers have even noticed this in our younger male siblings - they're only ~3 years younger, but they would constantly get into emotional fights with their good friends (lasting several days), cry all the time, and generally are a lot more sensitive and emotional. We don't understand it at all.

Not to go to far off on this strange tangent, but, What? you don't know anyone younger than you? How'd you manage that? Did you have someone vet people before they introduce you, and if their birthday falls after yours you wouldn't speak to them?

As more anecdotal evidence: I'm probably 5 years younger than you and my friends are split, some are like 16 year old girls when it comes to "did he/didn't he" and the rest of us don't have therapists telling us how to think.

re the letter: that last line is killer "We're going to change the world because this is not the one we want to live in."

Really? your sexting app is going to change the world for the better? that kinda grandiosity is what makes talking to these people so aggravating.

So in college, you never associated or made friends with people younger than you? You were the last college grad your place of work hired?

It seems strange to me too, and my social group is damn small.


Pushing 60 here. What age are you talking about? Owing to neighborhood demographics I seem to know no males between the ages of about 24 and about 10.
