But it was also something people lied a lot about so the numbers could be shaky. Maybe we should redo it and ask old people when they got laid the first time.
Yeah I learned the math from American Pie. But we got laid more, because we met people in the real world more. Also when dating sites first came out, they were actually built to find you a partner. I got laid so much more from those apps. I hear today those apps main goal is to keep you on the app. (So glad met my wife on OkCuipd before the enshitiction)
I mean I once met woman from Craigslist on personal connections or whatnot. Not even sure that a thing now.
Plus younger people aren’t sex crazed like we were. I have three boys. Oldest 21 to youngest 16. Two in relationships. At 16 I was chasing girls like crazy. My 16 year old son could care less. He has other priorities. And my middle son isn’t trying to get laid with his trans boyfriend. I mean as a father kinda glad they aren’t out knocking up girls and shit. At same time do worry about it. But think it’s us not them.
Probably don’t help that life harder now and their future looks bleak.
Same here, two boys 16 & 18, the first just doesn’t care it seems, the second has a gf but it’s not like in the day where you’d have crazy sex if you could or so it feels 🤷🏼♀️.
Yep me and my wife agee. OkCuipd was great, and Plenty of Fish got me laid so much back in the day. Didn’t know about the thing with Craigslist. Last used it in 2012. Met wife in 2013, and so freaking glad. Heard OkCuipd went to the Tinder method.
What really sucks is that like one freaking company owns most all dating apps. And they company cares nothing about finding people a mate.
Edit: I will add that even if your child isn’t in a romantic or sexual relationship, they can still learn from meaningful relationships with their friends and from their relationship with their parents. Provided they have good friends (and parents, no pressure) they’ll turn out ok, and they’ll learn that there are worse things than being single.
Graduated in 91. Can’t confirm first time for anyone but me and one girlfriend but I will confirm we were getting laid. I was almost 15 and she had recently turned 15. Can also confirm post virginity high school sex with another girl. I really only had two serious girlfriends in high school. I had a few other near misses but I don’t recall any others that sealed the deal off the top of my head. I wasn’t swimming in it, but I did pretty well for a nerd with self-confidence issues.

About the dating apps. Craig’s list took the connections section down because escorts were using it and they couldn’t fight the legal battle.
My wife and I met on OK cupid, and we feel like we got the last train out of dodge.
