The division at age 50-"The Rift"

[XwhYParticipant 16]

Gentlemen, I have noticed from watching and talking to many couples, that there seems to be a rather striking change of values of people at or around the age of 50. In couples above this age (Baby Boomers and the undesignated bridge generation between them and GenX) misandry and contempt for men drops to a mere whisper, couples hold hands, and mates seem to be chosen on more than just superficial criteria or emotional rationalizations. Below this age, there is a complete shift in attitudes about commitment, sex, and love, as well as reason, logic, and empathy. I have several reasons that I believe this difference has occurred. I call it “The Rift”. I would like to know what others have observed.
Hint: Women born during and after the beginning of the “sexual revolution” (early 1960’s) make up the vast majority of the women that have hurt us, seek to hurt us, or remain unmoved by the pain women have placed within us.
So, if you have taken time to couple watch, or are going to, what have you noticed?

I don’t know if thats’ true, I have encountered several women in their 50’s just as bad, if not worse than the younger generation. I have come across two of them in a forums. To be honest I have seen younger women being kinder and more caring. It may not be the true on the whole but that’s the impressed I get. I prefer not to make generalizations with group of people. There’s good and bad in all groups even in MGTOW.

On the whole you are probably correct due to the generation differences and what’s taught in school especially at the university level. I give everyone the benefit on the doubt. If there are signs that isn’t going well I just jump ship real fast.

Age magnifies your flaws.

Wonko this post of a daughter talking to her mom might be the answer but reading it caused poor wonko to hide under his seat shivering:

“As a daughter, I remember seeing my mom get ready, looking at her and saying Mom how old do you feel? She stands there and looks at me and said “18.” She was in her 40’s then and I thought that was weird. And I didn’t get it. Now that I’m in my 40’s, I do now. Its just a number. Feeling and looking your age is to me something that’s in the inside….blah blah blah”

wonko has heard many women complain that “no one wants an old(er) woman.” Yet they all act/feel young inside, why should any man of whatever age want the old package? As an older man I would be embarrassed to say that I feel 18. It would be admitting that I lacked emotional maturity and the ability to be objective relative to my lifespan. That women can hold both thoughts that they feel 18 and not understand why older men want younger women is enough to cause wonko to run away. run away. run away…

Great point @wonko.

Schopenhauer said it in 1865, and I’m repeating it 150 years later. Women remain children all their lives. They stop maturing when they start menstruating. That’s how we get Twilight Moms…. it’s how we get +42-year-old single mothers on dating websites “still looking for their prince”. … and it’s how they are able to look at themselves in the mirror at 40 and still manage to spit out “I still feel 18”. My grandmother still plays with dollhouse and collected miniatures for f~~~ sake.

A 40 year old man doesn’t look back 20 years and hope to see the same guy. He is happier than ever and far morel-likely to not want to travel back in time for any reason than to scold and bitchslap himself senseless for being so f~~~ing stupid. He actually got somewhere. You’re not going to see adult me lining up screaming at a Selena Gomez concert…. but you will see plenty of gray-haired cougars at Justin Bieber’s concert – still trying to groupy sluts.

Nothing wrong with being 40, ladies – unless you’re acting 20.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Imo the baby boomers leaving the work force and also handing over seats of power as they have been retiring for the last decade is a big contributing factor to the growth of the manosphere and the weakening of feminism. I also believe there’s a notion among those still in power that they need to hurry finishing the feminist agenda because they know younger men won’t be by far as cooperative as male baby boomers have been.
