'''Baby boomers''' (also known as boomers) are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. There are varying timelines defining the start and the end of this cohort; demographers and researchers typically use birth years starting from the early- to mid-1940s and ending anywhere from 1960 to 1964. | '''Baby boomers''' (also known as boomers) are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X.

Boomers are known to be [[neoliberal]]s in old age and (usually) reject any meaningful societal involvement in personal affairs, including helping their children pairbond with women. They expect their children to do [[cold approach|cold approaches]] and were the generation that elevated the first real [[PUA]]s into the mainstream in the 90s and early 2000s. | ||
==Boomers and millennials== | ==Boomers and millennials== | ||
Boomers see children both as an expression of their love towards their partner and as pets, ie a direction and source of direct emotional affection, to be given free reign within their own economic system. Because of this hyper-focus on direct emotional affection rather than other forms of support, we see children of boomers receiving little to no financial compensation for their existence, work, or activities. This may partly explain the socialist/capitalist divide between millennials and boomers today. | |||

===Wealth and Real Estate Hoarding=== | ===Wealth and Real Estate Hoarding=== | ||
Boomers own 75%+ of the real estate market<ref>https://www.wealthmanagement.com/blog/baby-boomers-have-all-money</ref>, often renting real estate out at ridiculously high prices. Baby boomers, along with their parents the silent generation, own 80% of American household wealth<ref>https://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/11/22/youll-never-guess-who-will-own-almost-half-of-amer.aspx</ref>. This means everyone below age 53 in America only owns 20% of all the wealth in America and only a quarter of the real estate market. They are also not expected to leave any of it for their children, which is horrifying and will leave millenials in extreme poverty unless Boomers blow up the world with nuclear bombs in a fit of existential dread. Boomers blame millennials for not having enough money, but are in control of the issuance of new dollars, and they also have all of the money. [[gaslighting|So they are quite literally not giving millennials money and then blaming them for it]]. This generation is also responsible for the general government budget tightening in the 80s onward, which is also insane and will guarantee rampant millennial poverty unless millennial's learn from their parents mistakes (unlikely). | |||

Boomers are known to patronize younger people for being lazy and irresponsible. However, many, if not most boomers are overweight, in debt, or simply dumb. They always use the excuse of ''well it's just because I'm older now, but back in my day...'' which is a non-argument because you can't fact-check "back in my day" arguments. | Boomers are known to patronize younger people for being lazy and irresponsible.

A counter-theory states that while old age in and of itself is indeed unattractive, women generally look for more than just attractiveness when picking a mate, notably, [[wealth]] and [[status]], studies show that men earn more money and hold higher positions as they near retirement, which may equalize their worse looks or even counteract it and make them more desirable than young and attractive men. | A counter-theory states that while old age in and of itself is indeed unattractive, women generally look for more than just attractiveness when picking a mate, notably, [[wealth]] and [[status]], studies show that men earn more money and hold higher positions as they near retirement, which may equalize their worse looks or even counteract it and make them more desirable than young and attractive men. | ||
