| Topic: Gen X & Babyboomers | |

Someone elsewhere asked the questions what generation you are and mostly what type you are in a romantic relationship.
Generations meant are Babyboomers, Gen X etc. I never gave that much thought but Googled it anyways. I am one of the first Gen Xs, which means that if I want a man who's a few years older he's going to be a Babyboomer. Reading about it I truly am a Gen X. I can relate to almost all qualities of one. Looking up how they are in a love relationship I again can relate almost 100%. Then I checked how a Babyboomer is in romantic relationship and I got a bit of a sinking feeling while reading, hihi. A cross check said that it is possible but requires both to be flexible and open to learning from the other. I'm thrilled. Not. Maybe I should go for a man same age only or slightly younger. At least then he'll also be a Gen X. I'm not so interested in someone with obsolete and stale beliefs who wants to hold on to old-fashioned patterns. That don't gel with me at all. Would've been easier if I'd been born some 5-7 years later. At least then a man a few years older than me would also be Gen X. Peculiar thing is that I am what you can call a bridgebuilder. And then I read that Gen Xers are bridgebuilders? Only then they mean between the generation before and the one after Gen X. Anyone ever took this generation stuff into account? |

Nope! It doesn't make a difference.
Putting labels on people is just another way you limit your options. Let's go the other way. I'm a gen x'er and if I were to pigeon hole all millennials with the stereotypes that comes with that - I'd only be limiting myself to other gen x'ers only because of my prejudices. Would some millennials live up to their hype? Probably.... But there are some wild ones that broke the mold and they hate the fact they get the same label just because they were born when they were born |
