Outlines
😟 Gen Z's Risk Aversion in Relationships and Dating
The first paragraph discusses the prevalent attitude among Gen Z females towards relationships and dating, characterized by a significant level of risk aversion. It highlights the influence of social media, particularly platforms like TikTok, where dating advice tends to be cynical and negative. The narrative suggests that young women are often cautioned against behaviors that could lead to emotional vulnerability, such as accepting compliments or gifts, which are equated with predatory or abusive behavior. The speaker also touches on the broader societal factors contributing to this risk aversion, including the aftermath of the sexual revolution, high rates of divorce, and the promotion of safety and regulation over risk-taking. The paragraph concludes by suggesting that this fear of vulnerability and discomfort might lead to Gen Z missing out on meaningful life experiences, such as having children, due to an overemphasis on avoiding risk and discomfort.
🤔 The Downside of Prioritizing Comfort Over Long-Term Growth
The second paragraph continues the discussion on Gen Z's aversion to risk and discomfort, focusing on the implications this has on their approach to life's major decisions, such as having children. It references a crowdsourced list of reasons not to have children, which is significantly longer than the list of reasons to have them, indicating a cultural bias towards the avoidance of risk and change. The paragraph suggests that this prioritization of immediate emotional comfort over long-term flourishing is symptomatic of a deeper issue, where Gen Z individuals may be missing out on meaningful life experiences due to fear. It also points out the common reasons given for not dating or having children, such as wanting to work on oneself or enjoying one's own company, which reflect an individualistic focus and resistance to life changes that come with relationships and parenthood. The paragraph ends with a promotion for a product called 'Element,' which is positioned as a risk-free choice with a no-questions-asked refund policy, subtly tying into the theme of risk aversion.

jzy girls about guys what do they think
about relationships and dating and the
importance of of
that well I think a big thing now that
I've noticed is being is jenzy women
being risk averse around guys and around
dating um so for example if you go on
like Tik Tok dating advice it's very
kind of cynical it's very negative it's
like you know if a guy approaches you
he's a predator or if he kind of
compliments you a lot and gives you
loads of gifts he's love bombing you
he's an abuser you know the words like
narcissism and red flags getting thrown
around um
and it's honestly everywhere like I saw
a tweet recently that was V went viral
that was like oh if you if you meet
someone and you have intense chemistry
that's a major red flag like you should
leave because it's like um a trauma
signal that reminds you of your
caregiver who mistreated you or
whatever um it's got like thousands of
likes and it's that kind of language is
so
common among young women talking about
dating which like I get I think there
are legitimate reasons to be risk averse
so I think you know obviously it's much
harder to date now with in after the
sexual Revolution with less kind of
guard rails of custom and chivalry and I
I do think there's reasons women are
risk averse to being kind of disposed of
and you know not having um a meaningful
relationship follow from meeting someone
also think you know we've got um you
know very high rates of divorced parents
which you know plays into that risk
aversion also I think social media
teaches you to be risk averse and avoid
discomfort well what what is the reason
for the risk aversion is it just not
wanting to ever get hurt how much this
is just an avoidance of any discomfort
Yeah so basically all of these things
are creating this absolute Terror of
getting hurt so I think a lot of the
therapy speak and the kind of feminist
language is a is cloaking this deep fear
of
vulnerability um yeah I think jenzy grew
up with this kind of message that
anything with risk is a threat to be
avoided you know whether that's through
social media whether that's family
structure whether it was you know the
childhoods we had you know our
childhoods were very much like avoid
risk you know prioritize health and
safety and
regulations and you know simulating it
all online rather than actually engaging
in risk-taking
behavior and I think that plays out all
the time in in Jen's life but a big you
know part of that is relationships
because they come with a high level of
risk and I I don't think some genz
people can kind
of it's almost like we've been convinced
that's not a part of life that you can
actually get away with a life that
avoids risk and you know uncomfortable
emotions um but you can't and so it it's
actually you know really tragic because
it puts us on a path to miss out on
really meaningful things so I think a
lot of the kind of child-free Tik Tok
stuff that everyone makes fun of and the
you know less desire among jenz to have
children can be explained by this fear
of discomfort and risk aversion you
there's like a deep Terror of things
going wrong um which you know you go on
like childfree Tik Tok as well it's all
about discomfort and it's all about what
is that for the people that don't know
so
um people who've made the decision not
to have children will post on like uh
dink which is like double income no kids
so they'll post like their luxury
Lifestyles that they can afford and then
they'll post their kind of child-free
days and what they get up to and
everything um but there's also among
that there's a lot of young women
especially talking
about uh kind of the risks and
discomfort that comes with having
children and trying to warn other young
women and girls not to have children so
for example there's a girl who does a
free birth control series on Tik Tok
where she basically lists
like every possible risk that could go
wrong with pregnancy or children to kind
of was that the girl with a list that's
another one so then there's another
what's this one so this is just a girl
she she does like a um helpful birth
control series to remind you why you
shouldn't have children and she just put
clips of like children screaming and
throwing up and destroying stuff and
right okay this is like a cultural
intervention type a lifestyle a
lifestyle warning yeah but I think she
doesn't have kids so she's no right yeah
and then I think the first person to do
that was this woman who created the list
which is like a crowdsource list of
reasons not to have children I think it
was 350 reasons not to have not to have
kids and it was a page and a half but
she printed them out so it's you know
like nine pages 10 pages or something of
reasons not to and I think the reasons
to amounted to a page of A4 but in the
reasons not to have kids was um can't
wear cute heels anymore will M Mis
brunch with the girls literal parasite
living inside of your body yeah plus
every every kind of risk or health scare
that could possibly go wrong is like
listed on it so like everything from
starting with you know losing sleep and
you know having like a stomach ache or
headache to absolute worst case scenario
risk that can happen and you kind of
read it and you're like God this is like
the most meaningful thing a human can do
you know it's the fundamental human
instinct not not to say that everyone
should have children but when you see
you know so many young people convinced
that life should be fun and easy all the
time and that anything that comes with
this level of risk is not worth it I
think that's a symptom of like something
extremely Sinister which is which is you
know jenzi are suffering from because
they're on a path to miss out on the
most meaningful things because of it out
of fear what the prioritization
of immediate emotional Comfort over
long-term flourishing it's the avoidance
of risk but also change because change
is associated with risk yeah uh that
there is
a a kind of individualized
solipsism about uh I think the most
popular reasons for why people aren't in
relationships or why they're not dating
it's uh working on myself right now just
don't feel ready don't have enough time
having too much fun on my own uh the
same thing for why people don't want to
have kids uh it's this sort of
imposition on their life that's what
that's what they're primarily concerned
about because if I do this thing things
are going to change and if the things
change this episode is brought to you by
