And then I ask, do your children or do you know children who are playing freely on the street?
And you get a few hands.
That's it.
That's the Gen Z.
If you don't play freely on the street, you basically are missing out on an entire ground for social negotiation, where you learn to play together, to make rules, to break rules, to have wars, to make peace, to create alliances, to make up, the whole thing.
If you don't practice those muscles,
where you come up to strangers and you ask them to play with you and then you meet somebody else and then you join people together.
You really are practicing relationships.
All of that precedes dating.
If you don't have that, then dating becomes the first time that you have to actually learn to speak to someone.
God forbid, if it's even in person and look into their eyes and look at their body, because so much of our life at this point is completely disembodied and we don't ever see people move.
Wow, never even told.
So dating becomes this Olympus that you have to climb, this whole mountain.
And it's very anxiety provoking.
And that is one of the main things.
So when we say Gen Z doesn't date as much, Gen Z doesn't socialize in person, Gen Z doesn't have that many parties.
What a waste.
What a pity to not have dance parties and just hang together.
It's not that they don't socialize, but it's a different kind of socializing.
I spoke to so-and-so means I texted them.
