  1. I get what your saying, but maybe I wasn't clear in how I expressed myself. I would say that the majority of GenZ'ers that I have encountered seem to have the negative characteristics I mentioned in earlier posts. There is a small minority that I have met who do not fit that description. So, generally speaking, the GenZ'ers I have met seem to be quite entitled, unable to handle criticism very well, and have unrealistic expectations about life and its normal challenges. That said, I would never prejudge someone because of their age, but if it turned out that they fit those characteristics, it wouldn't surprise me either. I completely agree that there is a link between broadly generalizing, and a resulting prejudice towards a group.
  2. It would be inappropriate to characterize everyone in a generation the same way, but generalizations can be made. There will always be those who do not represent the common characteristics of a generation.
  3. Not sure about bi dads, but here's a bi son...
  4. That's awesome to hear. You are both very fortunate.
  5. I agree. My comments about GenZ'ers refer mostly to those who are closer to GenAlpha. Those who are in their mid 20s have always seemed more grounded and realistic in my experience. And not just because they've matured over time. On the flip side, I also know a couple of GenX'ers who have significant similarities to GenZ, even though they are over 50.
  6. Yes, I do the same. I learn phrases as best as I can, though I often mix up my Spanish and French - especially the pronouns. I find that most people are very accommodating when I try, and will often switch graciously to English for our mutual benefit - lol. I love museums, but get concerned that I might not be able to decipher the labeling. But I suppose getting an audio guide in English could solve that issue. I'm just a complete tech luddite, unfortunately, so even trying to use a translator app would be a struggle. 🤣
  7. Funny how three of us can all read the same thing slightly differently - I thought he meant it would not be safe for his friend to fly due to his anxiety and stress. Anyone have a fourth interpretation?
  8. I'm so happy for you that you no longer consider yourself to be lost or lonely. This greatly encourages me. Now, to work on the alone, and for you to realize that even when you are not in a relationship you are never truly alone 🙏
  9. I've read that Lebanon's coast was like a Middle East Riviera in the 1960s and 1970s, prior to all the warfare. Would have been nice to see it back then.
  10. I know everyone else is probably looking elsewhere on his physique, but is that an ankle monitor he's wearing in photo #3? And before anyone asks - no, I do not have an ankle/foot fetish. 😇
  11. Holy cow - you managed to see 7,000 masseurs between the start of your post and the end? Impressive! 🤣
  12. Interesting comparison - LOL. I just thought a bit of context could be helpful - no need for any gore.
  13. Yet, he doesn't list that in his profile... maybe he doesn't do that with everyone?
  14. I've stayed at the Flamingo more than once, but the last time was just as the pandemic started. I stayed mid-week, and I think it was about $55 + around $30 for the resort fee, in US dollars. Which seemed like about $18,000 Canadian... lol.
  15. I imagine there might be more to see and appreciate on a longer visit. I was also there for a couple of days before a cruise, and I thought it was a decent enough place but not really my vibe. I didn't have time to properly orient myself or visit museums, etc. I also didn't experience the food culture, which I understand is pretty good. I wouldn't mind going back for a longer time to explore some more, but would likely combine it with another cruise again rather than making it my primary destination.
  16. I think it's all relative. In my family, anyone who doesn't have a rug of hair on their back is considered 'lightly hairy'. And that includes some of the women.
  17. At first glance I thought his name read 'Latinomouse'.
  18. They may share their sausage with you.
  19. So... why bother commenting? Some people are interested in your experience because you made the comment that you did.
  20. Maybe has prosthetic hands, and you have and on/off option.
  21. Me as well. The past few cruises I've done have spoiled me with the expectation of 'resort casual'.
  22. Hopefully it was before I posted that GIF 🤣
  23. What make of massage chair do you have? I should invest in one and maybe I'll finally get lucky.
