@RF-vg5kv Aaah yeah, that’s how I spent the majority of my life growing up. I am in the UK so we’ve never really had that whole mall obsession. They take up way too much space and we are more conservative about industrialised construction like that in the 21sr century, but still, it sure must’ve been nice to hang out in on occasion.

Yeah it was definitely I’d imagine a good place to meet girls back in the day. Today with this being less of a norm, especially here in the UK as we never really thankfully bought into that sort of thing, we only have places like cafés, pubs or nightclubs to really make more of a connection if it’s not in school.

@romusa9204 Couldn’t agree more. I’m 25 and basically throughout my life this whole fear about being accused of somehow sexual harassment has always been at the back of my mind whenever it comes to talking to a girl so it’s been nearly impossible to really get anywhere beyond saying hello or being just classmates.😩 Really, teens and Uni students just a few decades ago (even The early noughties) had it so lucky. They could just say what was on their minds and didn’t have to think about it as people would just be honest right back and move on.

@Ryan2022 You were soooo lucky back then. Today it’s impossible to know what anyone is thinking and if you dare ever make a tiny insinuation about anything you are immediately bashed or laughed at. Definitely doesn’t help either in the world of social media anymore. It’s why people’s self-confidence has completely plummeted. Sometimes it almost feels like a miracle anyone my age is in a relationship at all these days.

@alia7750 Really? How so? I ‘didn’t’ grow up back then so I’m quite curious to see whether it was easier back then or would you say it is better now?

@shannon2748 Yeah, it really is impossible to know what to do anymore. That’s why so many of us just feel like it isn’t worth the effort to get a girlfriend or even try and aim for a hook up these days. That probably explains why escorting is also on the rise. It’s just easier to do it that way for some. Hardline feminism, social media and cultural demands have made it impossible to know what we are supposed to do anymore and feel like we just can’t approach girls or even look them in the eye for to long if you don’t know them enough. I have experienced this all through my teens and into university. How on earth some guys are still able to achieve the impossible I do not know.

That’s nice.

We can only hope that they decide to use the land where the malls used to be as a place to start re-planting some trees, public gardens or eco-friendly, sustainable renewable energy housing.

That’s what is so disappointing. I have always been more so middle-class. Which means I have only two options, and I definitely don’t want to be the lower one.😓 Gonna have to work reeeeally hard to come out on top to have even a comfortable happy life, and even that feels like a big ask for the Uni student aged person these days.
