My granddad says young guys are just making excuses for why women don't date them

So I was talking to my grandad yersterday who is in his 70's and asked him about dating girls and he said back in his day, he used to get smoking hot girls all the time and all he needed was a running car and just enough money for dinner and a movie or take her dancing. His friend knocked on the door and sat down to listen in what he was saying. They both began reminiscing about all of the girls they would pick up and how easy it was. Grandadd said his job was low paying, but as long as you had a decent running car, it was easy to get dates and his friend was nodding his head agreeing. My grandad isn't even tall. He's average height even though he's lost a couple of inches from aging.

I told him these days it's a lot harder as girls are looking for a lot more than just a running car and they both busted out laughing with grandad saying young men these days are just making up excuses and aren't doing enough. He said if he was a young man right now, he could go out and pick up girls with no problem.

Is what they say true? Can any older dudes shed any light on this?

your grandpa experienced dating/relationships in the 60s and 70s. The boyo might as well have been from a completely different universe. Those times were COMPLETELY different from modern day dating/relationships.

OP can you get your grandpa to explain what kind of 'game' he had in the past? I do think he may be right about being able to land girls if he was a young guy now, because he'd have a different kind of charisma/personality than most 20s guys nowadays. Also, what's your grandpa's personality like?

Every old fart I know says he used to be a killer with the ladies.
They know full well you can't go out and confirm their story and there's no point in admitting they sucked with women so it's win win for them.

Approach anxiety has always been a thing, it's just worse than it used to with internet.

Only if you lived in the woods. Romans crushed the nuts of rapists between two stones as punishment. No civilization has ever tolerated people raping their own people. Even Germany and Sweden has to import foreigners for rape.

That is what I was trying to tell him that girls are different today, but he said there was no denying that if he were a younger man, he'd be able to pull todays women just as easily as the women back then. his personality is pretty solid. He was in the military for a long time, so he's a disciplined guy.

He said that a mans looks didn't matter much to women back then and he doubts if a mans looks matter these days. He said women just want a strong man that is confident in himself.

Take away his Viagra and tell him to hit the bed for his 8pm bedtime. Make sure his diaper is on tight so he doesn't make a mess on the bed again.

typical delusional advice from older people.

Be yourself, it will just happen, one day a girl will like you as much as you like her, etc. The father is often silent while the mother poisons her son with garbage advice. The reason is because our fathers didnโ€™t have to deal with the types of women that we have to deal with. Dating was simple and easy, and being a good man with a stable job was more than enough. They didnโ€™t have to run โ€˜gameโ€™, become dancing monkeys, be a DJ with six pack abs, take a few cycles of steroids or be a member of a gang. They didnโ€™t have to negotiate through a minefield just to meet a woman, they didnโ€™t have to constantly placate an โ€˜empoweredโ€™ and delusional woman.

There wasnโ€™t scores of fat and ugly women that skewed the odds. Nowadays, a plain non-fat looking girl is a prize of great value with scores of men trying to get her. The average man looks even better than the average man back in your fatherโ€™s day, due to how many young men now hit the gym, but the average woman has absolutely plummeted. Plain and thin was average back then. Slightly fat is now average. With a customary whorish tattoo.

Your father got to date virgins or girls with low counts. Men nowadays get to date women have been ****ed by 20+ men, who have a couple of **** buddies on call at any time.

Your father got to actually date. He asked a girl out and they actually went on a date. You have to be an entertainer, a dancing monkey, and try to **** her that same night, otherwise you lose out to the men who do manage to do so. She has so many options sheโ€™s not going to waste time going on a date with a man she barely knows.

When your granddad was dating, the average person married someone within a 3 block radius. Nothing has changed at all.
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Even his friend who stopped by is a legit manlet (5'5 or so) and even he had a wife and her pictures when she was younger weren't bad. She was attractive.

Nope. Media and technology changed EVERYTHING. Your grandpa was alive pre media except for radio and chit. The tides changed with TV, but mostly did a complete turnaround after the internet.

A running car and pocket change wont get you "smoking hot" girls. A good face would though - maybe your grandpa was aesthetic with 9/10 facials, who knows

Made an account juts to post this?

I made this post before for someone about a year ago.
prior to 1985(internet, cell phones, instant slooting from social media validation) females had to settle quick before they lost their glow. Most people married between 18-25. Today its 25-35. Jobs today that pay $7 an hour could support you, today we have higher inflation and taxes. 100 million people or 1/3rd of Americans are on welfare (fuk you low lifes sucking off us working class)


Today what holds men back is:
>80/20rule
>social media
>sloots standards
>free welfare, higher taxes where all my money goes
>any female who lifts is a Instagram star just by uploading photos who deserves a chad CEO 10k a day for working out.


Radio and newspaper was the internet prior to 1985.

I wish old people could experience a few days of the young peoples' world nowadays, so they'd realize how drastically different it is and shut the fuk up for once
And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his gods?

THIS!

The fccked up thing about it is he was really certain of himself that if he was a young man today, he'd be able to get women just as easily. Must have been a hell of a time to be a man back then if women were that easy.

part of me thinks your grand dad is full of sht but part of me thinks there is some truth to what he's sayin.

regardless, times are different now. It takes more than a running car and a few $$ for dinner.. that sht only works when you are a teenager

Didn't read

Your grandpa is a tool if he can't see the fallacy in his opinion.


Might as well ask a 4 year old his opinion next
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."
