Eh, I don't want to be a hater. There needs to be more love and happiness.

I still don't know why this belief keeps coming up (bolded). Men are extremely selective and picky, too.

Keyword: "seems". Judging by this and your other OP's, I'd say you project an awful lot on to women, and other people in general. An entire generation, in this OP, as well as all women. Resentment is a recurring underlying theme in your OP's.

My younger sister and my younger female cousins (early 20s) are always telling me stories about the guys their age, and it sounds like they just get away with a lot of bad behavior.

What do you think? Do guys growing up these days have it easier than previous generations? I don't see WHY this would be the case, as the ratio of eggs to sperm has not improved any for men as far as i know. But it does seem to be true.
In a very narrow sense, yes. Among many younger people--especially those on college--the "hook up" culture has become pretty dominant, which might makes it easier for some young men to get sex (provided they are appealing enough). But since the hook up culture bu its nature works against establishing more meaningful relationships, it is a double-edged sword.

Now, I know you don't.

Thanks for your contribution.
If you know so much and get all these women then why are you on here all the time?

No. I think hookup culture has gotten worse, not better for people younger than me. I'm on the front half of the Millennial generation. The back half seems to have more pressure than ever to goof off and not do anything at all productive when young, including hooking up. Those that don't typically don't want to date, they want to find themselves first, and then date...and closer to 30 than to 20.

Another, resounding No. Experience trumps youth every time. Besides, older women can be far more interesting, vital and open. They generally have wider boarders (limits), but know where they are. It's a perfect match.
