buck3200 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 ....I'm 53. my lifestyle has been that even when in a LTR it was more common than not to spend a weekend night at a bar or nightclub. Not uncommon to interact with 20 and 30 somethings. It seems that you will get much further with younger women with a "I'd sure like to get up in you" than an "I could fall in love with you". I don't have much problem with the music of the day, but I wonder if the music is the refection or the cause of this. Just wondering...... Link to post Share on other sites
casey.lives Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) No it's not music. It's values thought at home. Many today talk about people being 99% monkey and that we are animals argo be an animal. Love is a higher force, one that encourages the divine in us and needs cultivation. Music Media, Fashion, even schools are all contributing to the "I'd sure like to get up in you" I feel like the population is starving and acting love hungry rather than being love inclined. I would love to hear someone tell me they could fall in love with me. But i come from a Godly loving background. Having been overexposed, you wouldn't know it.

mrldii Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Personally, I doubt that it's the music of today; at 55, I actually enjoy quite a bit of today's music, and it hasn't made me turn into a sex-machine-on-wheels. It probably has more to do with the extension of adolescence, which is the time in human culture where we do do most of our sexual explorations. Just a few short decades ago, adolescence ended at 18, when most graduated from high school and went out and got jobs and got married. Then, the norm shifted to *everyone* went to college, and then graduated at 22/23 and settled down. Now, due to increased college costs and the need for advanced degrees to succeed in the work place, many are not graduating 'til 26+ years of age. It makes sense that as we push the 'Age of Independence' further and further out, people are going to [still] be in that sexual exploration stage later and later. Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 it's slang/expressions, and every generation has their own. Yes music is a strong influence, but it's social media that keeps everyone in the loop, so now it's obtainable by all generations. So age difference is now not so defined.

But you grew up listening to songs where love was the big motivation, just like me. If you grow up with sex being that motivation, I can't imagine that not having some effect...I've seen this in 30 somethings. They seem to separate sex from love much more like men do. If the "L" word (they can't even say it) gets mentioned in any way it's a freak out. I can remember if you were going at it with a girl for more than a couple months and it wasn't mentioned it was getting to freak out time. Now you can doing things ya wouldn't do to farm animals and no problem..."L" word comes up and your weirdo.... Link to post Share on other sites
