Topic	What is this LVM and HVM bullshit?
Chortlez 12/29/21 8:43:04 PM #50:	codey posted... I'm not sure if there's anything to really make of this data. I look at that and think "of course people in an age range that includes the early 20s are less likely to be married than people in their 40s." Is the gen x taken from 15 years in the past where we can compare it directly to the millennials of today? Because if not, it's just saying that young people are less likely to be married than old people, which has always been the case. Good point. US census shows the rates of never married men and women are rising while the rates married men and women decreasing. And a snapshot of 2015's unmarried adult population being at 107 million while 2021's count is 126 million. Though 2021 and 2015's criteria for unmarried includes divorcees, widow(er)s, while 2021 also includes unacknowledged people, whatever this means. (I suppose I should go dig up the general population as well...) https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/unmarried-single-americans-week.html https://www.census.gov/newsroom/facts-for-features/2015/cb15-ff19.html epik_fail1 posted... I heard that the younger generation of young straight adults(male) is less comfortable making the first step than before as they "are worried about getting consent wrong" tbh I read somewhere that "unsolicited compliments " were "enabling rape culture". I mean I am gay and I like receiving compliments from hot men. I don't really understand what is a "solicited" compliment. That is a factor but I don't believe it's that debilitating, or rather, it's a consequence of people being more socially stunted than decades ago thanks to virtual social interactions replacing regular physical interactions. So a lot of younger folks aren't aware of the social cues to understand boundaries and when you're given access past specific boundaries compared to some other random joe. And given the culture where an unsolicited compliment could backfire on you, it's no wonder a lot of guys wouldn't want to take the risk. But I don't believe this is one of the driving factors of the falling marriage rate issue. <cite>Chortlez posted [p:961316659] in What is th...
