I'm Gen X, not Millennial (bday 1976).

Oh my other generational issue: the WW2 generation as the "greatest generation?" Hardly. Look at the horrible, racist, facist world they created, lived in, and thought good.

Greatest generation my arse.

Hmmmm. I had a hyper promiscuous period lasting from my mid 20s to early 30s. I didn't catch anything but that was pure luck, I can tell you. I do know several people who caught HIV that way.

I have nothing against Generation X, either.

Born 1961---Baby Boomer.

Unfortunately parents don't always remain in their own room. They have a tendency to barge in. Just because they knock it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to wait for permission to enter. If you tell them not to come in they may come in and ask why not.


Flatmates do this to. I hate people, life really does seem like a punishment.

I bought a lock for my door, has a key hole on other side and only I have the keys.
. You should keep a key somewhere else in the house. If you got sick in your room or there was a fire it would be difficult to help or save you.

What gets me most about this thread is Bea thinking she can kick Boo out of the conversation. There is no forum rule stating she can do this. If she replies to anyone like that again, then I will report her .

I bet most parents struggle to have sex in their house once they have kids old enough to walk around, knock doors and attempt invading rooms.

I think most marriages become sexless because of that.


You think wrong! Sex does continue. You wait till they are asleep, lock your door, or explain (in an age suitable way), that mum and dad are busy!

So if I buy a house I'll get to have more sex? Good idea!

An alpha male (in the Red Pill sense) doesn't need to own a house. It helps, no doubt, but it's far from mandatory. He's attractive to women because of his good genes, not his possessions. He can rent a studio apartment, live in a rented room, or even be crammed with two roommates (flatmates), and no woman will bat an eye. Heck, he doesn't even need to have a car; he can ride buses and walk along the roadside to get to places. Women will drive him around on dates. It's only beta males who have to have their own place, a car, and money, in order to get sex/relationships.

I'm sure the The_Face_of_Boo will confirm. ;)


I don't own a car either. So does the fact that my girlfriend drives me around mean I'm alpha? I don't feel like I'm alpha.

Retro, I liked your old signature quote. You know, "The days are long...but the years are short..." I think it was brilliant and true.

There are some who think that latter day Boomers (1957-1965 bday, or the end of the post WW2 baby boom to the edge of Gen X) should be in their own category. Reasons: Most did not have WW2 vets as fathers, most did not face compulsory military service as in Vietnam and etc, and they did not have a unifying political cause, unlike the early part of the boomer generation.

There is a name for the later Baby Boomers—but I forgot it.
