Gonna try to keep this T-man friendly.

So to start, we don't go out much. Aside from brief daytime dash into Walmart for bacon and other essentials, we don't go out much. I'm usually home by dark. So I'm not in settings where groups of young people tend to gather for fun and games, so not in tune with current fads. That changed a week or so back while on a road trip. Pulled off the interstate in small town, then went to a local place for dinner. Walked in and eyes opened wide. It was homecoming weekend. Kids dressed up for a home coming dance. Or what passed for dressed.......young ladies were only half dressed.......or as my great grandmother would say......hardly enough on to cover their hind parts. Not sure I have ever seen a Russian hooker in person, but if I did, I would expect them to be dressed like that. And that was all of them. And many of them had parents there, so it was not like they were sneaking out like that.

Then yesterday, attended visitation of an old family friend who passed last week, and was shocked to see the dresses chosen by a couple grand daughters. Very skimpy......and in my mind, very inappropriate for the occasion.

Bottom line........it would seem that boys of same age are operating in a target rich environment.

Really not sure what to make of it.

Girls trying to compete with porn to get the attention of young men. Not much wife material for the few good young men left out there and quite frankly not much good husband material for respectable young women.

Maybe I'm a old curmudgeon but I don't have much faith in youth today, porn and social media have been difficult to navigate for those who grew up with it imo

was lucky the first time around, would not survive another round of being 18 again

Blame the parents. They allow it.

Most of today's prom dresses show more than eighties lingerie.

“Ya know when your in Northern New York when you attend a wake and most of the girls are wearing tub tops”

With shoes, that is not far off what I saw. Necklines were a bit lower.

Having said that, I did live thru the 1970's and there was a time back then things got a bit interesting. For a short while, there was a see thru fad, and of course the mini skirts. Maybe things not so different?

Would need to stock up on antibiotics.

Heck NO, got the preachers daughter pregnant, being how I was raised,

I started a 20 year life of Hades because I was stupid but honorable

Heck No !!!!!

Target rich environment if that’s what you’re looking for. I prefer them to have more respect for themselves.

Preachers daughter are in fact a target rich scenario, they don't stop

Only a brain dead horny 18 year old will continue

Dumb and stupid combined, should have stayed on the acid

Standards. You're obviously not a young man anymore.

Don't go to Colombia. You'll have a heart attack.

Catholic girls are where the fun is......they go to "confession" and get reset.

I bet every generation of old men have thought the same thing for several generations... Weren't mini-skirts from the 1960's? lol

Were they scantily clad in black? Maybe grandpa or grandma anticipated how shook up the grandkids would be at their passing and reflected that in their will.

ou812 That's funny right there^^^

Not sure it’s fair to put all young folks in that box. I hear you and believe me, I seen enough to have my own doubts however, I learned so much when my wife started a youth group. There are lots of kids that just follow the “crowd” and have absolutely zero guidance otherwise. Those young minds are open to change though and can, they just need reminding it’s okay not to do or be what everybody else is.

That's OK cause they don't have them on very long anyway.
