Generation-Y is the first generation that, as a whole, is openly sleeping around with one another and not being judged by others. The words “slut” and “whore” do still get thrown around, but usually by someone who has slept with just as many people as the person being labeled as such.

Generation-Y is deeply immersed in the “hook-up Culture.” Hell, we invented the damn thing. When I was younger, I’d sleep with several women a week – on the good weeks of course.

I know a girl who managed to sleep with a group of friends without any of them knowing about the other – at least not until months afterwards. Unfortunately, these aren’t my proudest moments and not ones that I look back at with nostalgia.

It all seemed like such a good idea at the time. And to be honest, I can’t say that I didn’t have my fun, but the whole ordeal was entirely pointless.

The only thing I learned during those years of entertaining woman after woman is how meaningless the hook-up culture really is. I’m only glad I participated in it so that I now know to avoid it. The hook-up culture hurts us more than you know. Here’s a few reasons how:

1. You’ve been “dating” for years, but haven’t been on a date for as long as you can remember.

Generation-Y doesn’t date… we hook up. And that sucks because dating well is an acquired skill. Socializing in general is an acquired skill, but thanks to the hook-up culture, the only skill we’re acquiring is convincing others to have sex with us.

1. They’re not dramatic Setting up other people to get in trouble and then sitting back and enjoying the drama play out is way more fun than actually participating yourself.

2. They know how to have perspective in bad situations They’ve seen older siblings strike out or get in trouble a million times, and the fall out never lasts forever. Youngest siblings don’t make mountains out of molehills.

3. They don’t care about being the center of attention The reality of being the youngest is that your parents were busy, they had other kids to deal with and were over the helicopter, safety-first parenting style most people adopt with their first kid. Wandering off and doing their own thing is a skill that helps a lot in adulthood, when you don’t have to have someone hand-hold you when you learn a new skill.
